QUEEN OF HEARTS VALENTINE'S CARD

Who better to put on a Valentine's card than the Queen Of Hearts!


This little lady is from Amanda's cute NEW "Alice In Wonderland" range of digi's, which also includes Alice, The Mad Hatter, The Cheshire Cat and the Caterpillar.

Click HERE to see them all.

I used a 5"x7" white gate fold card, covered it with Amanda's "Alice In Wonderland" background paper, then went around the edge with an inkpad.

Then I cut a large heart and again went around the edge with an inkpad before gluing it to the front of the card, the Queen was attached with foam pads and I used glossy accents on the heart head dress and her scepter.

After adding some moving eyes and the heart shaped confetti around her head I finished it off with the sentiment.

Inside the card I added a close up of the Queen and a pun about losing your head, that's what she famous for after all!

I hope you like it

HENRY HIGGINS AND HIS OWL

I don't know what it is either, I think that maybe I had too much time on my hands this morning! Lol

 Maybe someone out there in Craftland can make use of him!? 

I'd love to see it if you do!

STEAMPUNK GIRL CARD

This is a money/gift voucher card I made today using rubber stamps and papers from HOTP
The Steampunk girl picture is part of a set of Steampunk digi's I've been working on recently. Although you can't really tell fom this picture I've used glossy accents on her eyes, lips, glasses and a few of the coloured cogs to make them pop!

I hope you like it

MOLLY'S DRAGON DIGI

I had an idea last month for a digi set, This is the first one and and thought I'd share with my "crafty" friends to see/use.

Whilst out playing little Molly Mayhew found a baby dragon in an old tree stump, carried him home and spoilt him rotton.

To her he was just like a big ol' puddy cat.

Aloysius decided to stay, because although Molly could be boisterous with him sometimes, the rewards made it all worth while!

STEAMPUNK WITCH topper

No I'm not too late, nor too early, I drew this last year for Halloween, then over wrote the digi file with this coloured version by mistake - DOH!!

So rather than just delete it altogether I've just finished colouring it and decided it might make a card topper or something that you clever crafter s might make use of.

UDDERLY IN LOVE CARD

Have you made your Valentine's Day card(s) yet ?

If you're like me then you usually leave it to the last moment !

So I'm well in time for it this year.

For this 5"x5" card I've used Amanda's gorgeous new heart papers as a background for her "Hey diddle diddle" cow digi stamp.

After printing off the two papers I applied them (cut diagonally) onto my card.

I made a white circle with a red trim on which I printed the sentiment then decoupaged the cow on top using foam pads. adding glossy accents to the eyes and little heart, then used Sakura gloss over the text to make it pop!

I hope you like it.

HOW old ?

A simple, effective and slighty evil 6"x6" card using Amanda's Laughing Dog from her "HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE" range.

I coloured him digitally and added some text onto the background papers which are also from Amanda, I've used two of the blue hues from her "DOT PASTEL PAPER PACK"

After printing off the papers and dog I simply cut out the little fellow and used foam pads to lift him off the page.

Lastly I added some Clear gloss Sakura to the black text to make it stand out more and some 3D Lacquer over his nose and pads.
