I,ve actually made a card

Heres my card ,cant believe I have actually crafted one today,been really not with my crafting for ages.This one just evolved ,lol.














The backing paper is a really beautiful card from Kanban,the lacy trimmings .I think are Martha Stewart,correct me if I,m wrong,I bought them off fleabay ,the image is a Jak heath image .
The cuttouts have been gently inked with pastel lemon and pink.a few gems have been added for some bling.


I would like to enter this card in the following challenge

Congratulation card

A beautiful wedding congratulations card,made for my son,s wedding ,
lots of bling to jazz it up ,little mulberry roses and pearls ,with organza ribbon bow.
The backing card is from Kanban,beautiful pearlescent embossed card in ivory .
I have kept the coloured image pretty neutral ,with the lightest of pro-marker colours used
A little bit of silver highlights gives some sparkle.
I have made a box to fit it in ,so it doesn,t get crushed
Just hope him and his fiance like it .....................

Red and white retro

Really its red, wnite ,blue and gold ,love this retro image which was a freebie pic,the flower and gold embellishments were a little gift I received the other day ,from 2 different places,but they go well together.
This is quite a big card for me ,its actually an A4 card folded in half,is that an A5 ?
Looks really cool this hot weather ,wish I could find a dress like this,used to have something similar when I was 16,boy,they were the days.

my lovely Birthday flowers

It was my Birthday yesterday and I had a great day,my youngest Daughter took me shopping for a few hours,went to home bargains and had a great smooch around,lol.
Received£105 pounds in money ,so to help my shopping excursions I purchased a little fold up wheelchair to put in the car.I really feel like an old person now,but my legs wont take the walking like they used to.I might even get down to the seaside this summer ...........
My oldest daughter came down in the evening,with more money for me .
My lovely cards and roses are in pride of place on my sideboard
Thanks kids.

Cards for everyone

The backing card is Kanban
This other card has beautifull daffodils in the foreground,to which I added glitter glue for a little sparkle

The little white daisy flowers are quilled by myself

2 completely different Birthday cards

My first Birthday card is for my daughters birthday,she loves butterflies ,so here we have an overload of them.
The butterflies are handmade by myself the wings are acetate ,with the images already printed on,I have had them for ages ,I got them cos I loved them,then didnt have a clue what to do with them,
After looking at them carefully ,I decided to glue them on white and blue card ,then add an acetate butterfly on top.
I think they came out ok.

Heres a close up of the butterflies ,they really do look as if they could fly away.

This card is entirely different it is for my warhammer mad grandson ,I just hope he will like it
