Dog in a jumper



This is a card I have made using the new 'Hot Diggity Dog' range from DoCrafts. The main image a decoupage design with a lovely pearlescent finish. The image is so cute. The dog look great in his jumper and with this cold weather he certainly needs it. The greeting is also part of this range.



The background paper is from the new Papermania Capsule Collection - Parkstone Pink. I mounted the paper and image onto dark pink card. I also added a strip of dark pink seam binding ribbon. To finish the card I added punched photo corners and a pink gem.

I am entering this card into Divas by Design blog challenge. The theme is anything goes.

On your wedding day



This is my card for this week's Passion for ProMarkers blog challenge. The theme is 'new beginnings'.

The stamp I used for the card is On Your Wedding Day by Little Claire. I stamped the image with a black Memento ink pad. I coloured in the image with ProMarkers. I added sparkle with Stickles and Sakura pen. I cut the image into a square and mounted it onto a panel cut with Nestabilities Decorative Elements Dies Fleur De Lis Squares die.



I covered a square card blank dark grey card. I cut square of patterned paper and card which I attached together. On the bottom right corner I added a strip of ribbon. I then attached this to the card with the stamped image.

I stamped the greeting using Sentiments Mix circle sentiment stamps by Little Claire. To finish I added a bow and pearls.

New Garden Collection stamps from Little Claire - Final Day

Today's featured stamp from the new 'Garden Collection' stamps being launched this week by Little Claire is Birdtable.



These are two cards made with the stamp. The daylight and sun wasn't on my side the day I took the photos I'm sorry to say so the cards don't look their best. I have used two different colour schemes for the card - pastels and brights. The stamp would be ideal for men or women.
