A "thank you" bunny

Today's card is unfortunately another one of those with not the best photo... But yet again I am working on cards for friends in late evening hours, and photos had to be taken in a bit of darkness... 

I wanted to try a new technique on this card, but I don't think I achieved the effect I wanted... The image is stamped on tissue paper and I was hoping for it to look a bit more scrunched, but somehow it almost fully straightened out... I guess I'll need to give it a go some time again! I think I even know what I did wrong, so here's to hoping for better results next time! :)

The image is the same LOTV Bunny I used in the previous post, and as usual I coloured it with my ProMarkers and Copics - they seem to bleed quite a bit on the tissue paper, but in real life it actually looks quite cool on the bunny as it adds a bit of "fluffiness" - not that great in the pics, though! 

Anyhow, wishing you sweet dreams and off I go to bed (or so I hope!). Have a peek at the card:

Happy Bday with a Bunny

Hi Everyone,

A very quick post today, and with a very quickly (and badly!) taken photos... I was in a rush with the card, and in even more rush with the pics, hence I took them too quickly AND at night - you can see the results below... Lesson learnt - never again!

Anyhow, the card was made for a child's bday, and I made myself a challenge of making a card from scraps... To be perfectly honest, I am not 100% happy with the result, but when I think of the fact that I used scraps - I guess it's not the worst... I tried water-colouring this time as opposed to the usual ProMarkers and Copics... I think I like the markers better... 

It doesn't show too well in the pictures, but the ears, paws, the little nose and the crayons were glossy-accented. I could not live without Glossy Accents! ;-)



I am entering the card into the following challenges:
Love to Create - Something for Kids
QKR Stampede - Children's cards
Creative Creations - For a Child
Inky Impressions - Distress it

Have a good evening,

M.

Another Mother's Day card

Hello Everyone,

An absolutely gorgeous & sunny day in Dublin today, I'm hoping your Sunday is equally sunny and lovely! 

Today I want to share with you a Mother's Day card that I made for my friend (she actually ordered more than one but they are still "in the making"). I was recently peeking at A Gem of a Challenge and their sketch, and I think this is why the card "accidentally" happens to follow it :) It's a great sketch, and I will definitely follow it some time in the future again!

Here's the card, I hope you like it. I am giving it to my friend tomorrow, so am hopeful that she will like it, too! The inside is still unfinished, but I will need to personalise it with a requested message, hence I took the photos beforehand. 


 The flowers and the little heart are glossy-accented:


I am entering this card into the following challenges:
A Gem of a challenge - Challenge 80-sketch
Totally Gorjuss - Water (watercan)
I love Promarkers - Simply does it
Inky Chicks - Blue and Brown
Love to Create - Flowers, so many flowers

Have a great evening,

M.
