Easter card Saturated Canary

Here's a pretty saturated canary pretty all ready for Easter. I coloured my image with copics and distressed inked the edges with a little frantage around the edges too. Hope you like her.

Pink and black.

Here's one I made earlier. Totally untraditional colour combination for Easter, but I do love the combination! This is a new Saturated Canary digital image. I have coloured her with copics and the papers are old Echo park ones. Shock horror but I have almost finished the pad of papers! So I'm rocking the stash reduction self challenge! The die is a Noor design one.

A Gentle break and return

I've been missing from my blog in absolutely ages! I have had a bit of a time of it and lost my crafting mojo, big time! Unfortunately I'm having to have a slow return as my hands are giving me a lot of pain and so anything I make takes me ages because the discomfort and the fact that I keep dropping things doesn't make me smile! Unfortunately I had to stand down from my design team position from Di's digi downloads too which made me really sad as I loved working with Di's digi stamps but I knew I couldn't keep up with it as I have good days and bad and that wasn't fair of me to keep letting people down. So, please don't be too harsh as my colouring is not very good on this one, but it's the first card I have made in months and it's for my Mum for Mother's Day. I had a rummage through my stash and found some pretty organza ribbon, some old echo park papers, a magnolia vintage tag die with some snippets used to make the tag.....Kathy would be pleased.....and I have dug out some frantage, and white embossing powder, which |I used on the magnolia stamped butterfly , coloured with vintage photo distress ink and I hand sewed around the image....it took me ages but I like the effect and it saved me trying to haul my sewing beast on to my table! The image is a Saturated Canary image called May.

Lovely day for a spot of crafting!

I don't think it can get any darker outside, for daylight hours anyway! We have got to have all of the lights on and it feels miserable, so what a perfect opportunity to play with craft toys! I have been getting ahead with my DT stuff so I'm feeling virtuous and now playing with some of my other toys. I love my digi stamps as you probably know and these new Saturated Canary images really appeal to me. This little lady was coloured with copics and the papers were from the pad I bought at the works. No stitching on here today but there will be plenty of stitched cards in the coming weeks as I love my new machine! The die is a memory box one and a Christmas present to myself! Santa doesn't always get me what I want and so I have to give him a helping hand!

Happy Birthday Troy.

So I have a lovely family barbeque later with my brother-in-law, his partner and their children as the youngest one is seven today. I can't believe that's seven years ago! Where does the time go? Anyway, he's a bit of a dude, so I made this card for him for today. I always find masculine cards quite difficult. I love my embellishments and you can't do that on boys cards! Anyway, hope he likes it!

Fairy pretty!

Awh I just love Krista's digi images! I have quite a collection now! This one is sweater socks fairy. Fairy appropriate as it certainly is sweaty today!!!!

Friends.

This will be shortly on its way to a very special friend of mine. I hope she likes it! I have used stampin up papers which came from my firend in my goody box as did the ribbon and butterfly charm. I have also used a range of dies and vintage photo distress ink. The image has been coloured with copics and prisma pencil. The sentiment is a stampin up on form the bloomin marvelous set.

Reading Beauty

So with all this lovely weather this weekend, there has been plenty of reading time in the sun and crafting time in the evening. Housework definitely gets the thumbs down!

Snow white.

This card went to a lovely friend on her birthday.

Same image as below but coloured with copics this time!

Feeling blue?

My hand is much better today. Not completely healed  but half way there. I spied this gorgeous digi over at Saturated Canary, it's called Pixie Nerd, and have had great fun colouring her in blue, using promarkers. I think I'll enter this card into the Passion for promarkers challenge, which is add a sentiment. Fortunatley this lovely digi comes complete with a sentiment too.

Easter Saturated Canary.

Two more pretty Easter cards I made this week. Both coloured with promarkers.

Cinders, you shall go to the ball.

I noticed that Krista was having a sale a few weeks ago of quite a few digis that were going into retirement. Well, a few just had to slip into the old basket didn't they and here's one that I had great fun colouring with my old promarkers. I do seem to flip between promarkers and copics and go through phases using each. Is this normal, or should I ask....am I normal?? I am entering this one in to the passion for promarkers challenge which is anything goes.

I'm no wallflower!

Another of my Saturated Canary makes coloured with promarkers. This little lady is called Wallflower.

Saturated Canary Breeze.

I'm so loving those Saturated Canary images at the mo and I confess I have bought a heap of them over the past few weeks both digi and rubber! This little lady is called Breeze and she has been coloured with promarkers for a change! The backing papers are Christmas ones and the die cuts are all from Magnolia. The sentiment is one from Lili of the Valley.

I am going to enter this card in to the Passion for Promarkers challenge which is ribbon, lace or twine.

Purple fairy

Hi all. With all the Halloween excitement and the wet windy weather what better than a spot of crafting. I have been extraordinarily busy of late so haven't been around much at all. Well with my crafting I have been busy, but I can't show all on my blog as some of the makes are for friends who might just be mooching around these parts!
Anyway, here's my withered fairy from Saturated Canary, all festooned in purple. You gotta love her really. I loved colouring her hair and going to town on all things purple......must have been missing my purple friend ;0) She knows who she is!

Cherry Blossom

Another Saturated Canary image, this time a stamp called Cherry Blossom. I fancied making a shaped card so dug out my Go Kreate dies and had a play.

 

She has been coloured with copics.I haven't added many embellishments as it's quite a large stamp.

Happy Birthday Clare.

This is the card I sent the very lovely Clare from Miscanthus crafts.

Saturated Canary Pretties.

My crafting is much like buses at the moment! There's nothing for ages and then three come along at once! Can you tell that hubby's at work today and I have been nowhere?!

A little bit of Saturated Canary!

Here's something new, my first use of frantage. I love this stuff and I think everything will get frantage treatment from now onwards! I have coloured my Saturated Canary image with copics and the papers were free ones from a magazine ages ago. The ribbon was cheap stuff from lidl of all places! It's twisted together with the butterfly string of bead things and you can separate them! I also picked up another bargain this week......inktense pencils, half price at WH Smith. I know I have enough colouring mediums already, but I do like to experiment!

 

Thought I might enter this little beauty in to the the papertake weekly challenge, which is anything goes.
