Winner from Celebrating Friendship post

I am overwhelmed by the sweet comments everyone left on my blogpost last Friday.  Thank you so much for the kind words and Hugs for following my blog!  Once again, my heartfelt Thanks to Julie for inviting me to participate in her Blogoversary party.

I have a card to share which I made sometime ago, for a friend's Mother-in-law who was not well.  I love this Flower Girl image and hope the card brought her some smiles.  It was one of the early cards I made when I first bought Copic markers.

The image was stamped on a white cardstock, and coloured with copic markers.  It was cut using Spellbinders Labels 15, and sponged lightly with some dye inks.  Then it was assembled with some patterned paper and trims.

Now, onto the exciting bit - the prize is a $10 voucher to any online store of your choice. I decided to let random.org pick out a winner and the number selected was 8 - which is Gwen!  Gwen, I'm so happy you won, please email me.

Once again, thanks for visiting me.
Have a wonderful week!!

Flower Girl

Hello again.  I hope your week is going great.  Despite perhaps busy schedules, I hope you will find time to be creative too.

Today, I'm sharing a card using the second image in the Flower Girls stamp set.  I know I've said it before but the little girl is so adorable, and I had so much fun colouring this image - makes me smile.
 

Aside from shades of blue/teal, I'd have to say my other favourite colour would be pink.  But, truthfully, for this card, everything started with the pink ribbon.  Then I coloured the stamped image and selected the patterned paper & cardbase to match.  I suppose it's an odd way to make a card, but sometimes it's fun to be random.

Hugs

Sweet Fairy Girl

My girlfriend, AY just had a birthday on Sunday.  We've known each other for 29 years!!  That's a long, long time, isn't it? We've been through so many seasons of life together - fun holidays, crazy scary white water rafting trips, shopping, seeing our mums through heart bypasses, funerals of loved ones, being burgled, hours and hours of non-stop chatting & our love for food.

We always, always go out to celebrate each other's birthdays, but this year I'm away so we'll have get together when I get home next month.  AY said I should save a card and hand it personally to her.

I'm happy to do so, but, I thought it would be nice to dedicate a card to her as well on my blog.  Here's the card, with a sweet image from Summer Fairies stamp set: 
 

It's a pretty simple card, with the Fairy girl as the focal image. The two handmade flowers were made with the Imaginisce Petal Roller. It's really easy to use and I think the flower looks much neater, than doing it without the tool.

I know AY doesn't read my blog but I think I'm gonna send her the link ;-)  Just so she knows I'm thinking of her.  It's so precious to have an "old" friend - someone who looks out for me, and speaks the truth always and most of all, one who has touched & enriched my life.  Happy Birthday, AY!  I'm so thankful for your love & friendship.  It means a lot.

Flower Girl

Today's card has one of my favourite images - it's from a stamp set called Flower Girls.  There are 3 beautiful flower girls and a few more tiny stamps, all of which are so adorable - I just couldn't resist colouring this one.

Isn't she so adorable? 

What are your plans for the weekend?  I think I'm going to do some reading, more stamping hopefully and perhaps a little walk around & take some photos if the weather is good.

Take care.

Love Life

Hi again.  For today's card, I used a stamp set called Fairies 1 (borrowed this from my sister).  Athough the stamp is not the usual photopolymer ones I'm used to, they work pretty well, and I love the super sweet images.  I'll be posting a few more cards the next few days so you know why I love the images.

Here's the card:

 

I hope the card brings a smile.  Have a beautiful day!

p.s I'm submitting this card to the challenge (buttons on a card) at Stampin' Sisters in Christ.
