Kenny K Wedding Card Commission

My friend saw my cards on here and asked if I could make a card for her cousin's wedding. Her only clues to what she wanted were 'cool, fun & funky'! So I automatically thought of Kenny K! lol

I've coloured the image in with my ProMarkers. The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The DP is old Papermania and everything else is from my stash.

My friend loves it and hopefully the bride & groom will too!

Our 2nd Wedding Anniversary

This is the card I've made for my Soulmate, my best friend, my wonderful husband, Martin

Today we are celebrating 9 years together and on Monday we will have been married for 2 years!

The image is a DigiStamp called Bodacious Bev from Kenny K. I've coloured her in with my ProMarkers to look like me, lol. The stripey paper is Papermania Capsule Collection and everything else is from my stash.

Polly Penguin - Purple & Green

Oh yes its another Christmas card! This time I have used Polly Penguin again from Digistamp Boutique.

I've been going back trying to complete the weeks I've missed out on the Sundays With Santa Facebook Group. This is for Week 15: Purple and Green. Not normally my first choice for Christmas cards, but its turned out fab!

I've coloured the image in with my ProMarkers. I've added Glamour Dust to the snow and round the edge of the image.
The DP is old Papermania and everything else is from my stash.

Snow Buddies

Time for another Christmas card. Its less than 19 weeks away now you know! Eek!

This time I have used my new stamp Snow Buddies by Sugar Nellie. I won it on the Sugar Nellies Facebook Group challenge for my Summer card (see further down) :D

On the Sundays With Santa Facebook Group it was Week 32: Snowmen, so this stamp was perfect!

I've coloured the image in with my ProMarkers and added Glamour Dust to the fluffy bits.
The DP is old Papermania I think. The 'lace' is made using my Martha Stewart punch. The snowflake is a Marianne Creatables die and everything else is from my stash.

21st Birthday Commisson Card

How gorgeous is this? I am soooo happy with it. Definately feeling like I've found my mojo again! lol Or it could be that the girls on the Sugar Nellies Facebook Group are incredibly inspiring and helpful (if a little nuts!)

I was asked to create a 21st birthday card by a work collegue. I really hope she likes it. She said it should be trendy and girly so I hope its not too flowery for her..

I also decorated the inside to match, partly because its a special card, but mainly because the front was so heavy it needed a bit of weight at the back for balance.

The photos are a bit dark again. I've tried diferent lighting, perhaps I need a new camera?

The image is a Sugar Nellie stamp called 5th Avenue and I've coloured her in with my ProMarkers and added Glamour Dust to make her dress sparkly.
The backing paper was a freebie from a magazine. The black 'lace' is made using a Fiskars punch and everything else is from my stash.
