Hello & Welcome to my blogging pages,
I made a "Get Well Soon" card this afternoon, for a friend who hasn't been feeling too 'hawt' for the last couple of weeks. I wish her a speedy recovery and that she may soon be back to her old self soon!
Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Hello & Welcome to my blogging pages,
It's been jolly cold the last few days, and very wet here in my small corner of the world. But having said that, we were blessed with a little chink of sunshine and wonderful blue coloured skies yesterday afternoon, and although it wasn't enough to warm the soul, it brightened the spirit!
The card I wish to share with you today is "Purple Lady".
I
used quality pale lilac coloured 5x7 inch card stock, to which I added a piece of textured black glittered paper from the First Edition Noir et Chic Collection to use as my background frame.
I used Dufex Decoupage Papers and carefully cut them out and layered the pieces together using double sided foam tape. I then added two mauvey coloured paper flowers and embellished them with purple coloured crystal centres and also added one to her hat band and to finish the card I added "Happy Birthday" in silver peel offs.

Hello & Welcome to my blogging pages,
Today is TUESDAY! My Tuesday's are usually busy, with shopping trips and meeting friends for morning coffee or sometimes lunch. This week, I decided that it was time for change. So, I'm relaxing today and pottering about doing bits and bobs around the house that I usually do on a Saturday or a Sunday.
The card I wish to share with you today is "Christmas Poppet".
I
used a quality cream coloured 5x7 inch card and a piece of thick winter white coloured paper which had a glittered snowflake pattern scattered across it. I edged the snowflake paper with gold peel-offs to frame the card. It then added a piece of paper which was decorated with Christmas Poinsettias and once again framed that with thin gold peel offs for the finishing touch.
I
took my Prima Doll Fairy Wings Stamps by Julie Nutting and stamped a pair of wings onto some gold glittered adhesive paper using black coloured Archival Ink, and carefully stuck them onto some recycled card stock and cut them out with scissors.
For the dolly I used a Prima Doll Stamp by Julie Nutting and stamped the dolly shape out onto some rose pink and white patterned paper and also cut her out by hand with scissors.
I
coloured her hair with a fine brown Sharpie pen, and then
added dusky rose coloured shimmer highlights to her hair. I made her "Alice Band" from the same gold paper that I used for her wings and shaded her body with a pale pink coloured Pro-Marker pen.
For
her dress I used a rich red piece of paper and stamped the dolly out once more and cut it out by hand. I highlighted the creases and folds in the dress with a gold shimmer felt tip pen. I glued the dress to the dolly and left her to dry.
When
the paper pieces were dry, I took the wings and mounted them onto the card with some double sided foam tape and then mounted the dolly against the wings using double sided foam tape. I finished the card by adding the words "Happy Christmas" in gold peel off and decorating the dolly with green coloured crystal embellishments in her hair, around her neck and her ears.
I would like to add this card to the Crafty Calendar Challenge - All Things Christmas.

Hello & Welcome to my blogging pages,
I like to create and craft, and have been making Greetings Cards since June 2013. The card below is the first card that I made at that time for a friend's birthday.
I used a quality cream coloured DL card and glued several pieces of different pale patterned paper against it to form a nice background.
I took a Prima Doll Stamp by Julie Nutting and some black coloured Archival Ink and stamped the dolly shape out onto some peachy coloured textured linen paper and cut her out by hand with scissors.
I coloured her hair and shoes with a fine black Sharpie pen, and then added silvery shimmer highlights to her hair, and coloured her "Alice Band" and shaded in her body shadows with a blush coloured Pro-Marker pen.
For her dress I used two different Liberty fabrics and stamped her dress twice using Momento Danube Blue Ink by Tsukineko. Once again I cut both the dresses out by hand and glued them to the paper dolly and left her to dry completely for 24 hours.
When she was thoroughly dry I then mounted her on the paper background using double sided foam tape so that she stood away from the background, and to finish the card I added a tiny clear crystal embellishment to her hair and a pink wooden daisy-type flower.
