Time to shop

Good afternoon peeps.

I know I posted this morning but I made this card for a couple of challenges on Friday and what with visits from Grandson, making extra cards etc I haven't got around to posting and if I don't do it now the entry date will expire and I wont have entered.

This card was made using DP's from Nit Wit's Perfect Pair, a beautiful set of gorgeous, yummy pink and green papers. Just the ticket for springtime. The image is from LOTV- Emma with presents which I coloured with Copics and paper pieced. Emma was coloured and the parcels were pieced except for the ribbons. The sentiment is also from LOTV. Lace, pearls and ribbon are from the stash.

I shall enter this card in the following challenges:-

Crafty Little Fairies - Shopping

Papertake Weekly - Sketchy free for all #81

Addicted to Stamps - Lace and Pearls

Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Birthday

Evening all, thanks for dropping by.

I feel really sorry for people with birthdays in December as it must be overshadowed by the big day. My friend Adele, is one such person. She says as she gets older she'd rather forget her birthday but I'm sure she still likes to be remembered.

So here is the card I made for her birthday. I thought I would do it in good time as its easy to forget in the big rush towards Christmas.

I seem to be in the same palette again, but I know Adele likes browns and beiges and the dark red is a nod to the season. 

The papers are from LOTV as is the stamp, Emma with parcels, I think. I have used Copics to colour as well as some paper piecing of the parcels from scraps of the main papers. The papers are edged in Vintage Photo, as are the corner details.

The lace edge punch is by Martha Stewart, doily by Magnolia, corners from Marianne and ribbon and pearls are from the stash. 

Husband has gone in the bath after knocking down a wall in the back yard so I have time for myself. Tea is in the range in the simmering oven so no rush there, so time for a little more crafting!

I think I will enter this card in the following challenges:-

Crafty Little Fairies - Lace and Pearls

Creative Romance - Vintage style

Thanks for dropping over, tatty bye
