Marlene's birthday card

 Hi all. Here this damp evening to share a card for one of Mum's friends. I treated myself recently to some new Penny Black blooms (like I really needed more new stamps lol) and thought these lovely roses would do the trick. 

Coloured with polychromos and some red glitter added to the little berries. I thought it looked a bit meh, so got my metallic paints out, added a few gold and pink splatters and it looks much more party time now! 

Penny Black Saturday January - something new 

We Love Stamping January - new things (my stamp)

Time Out #305 - favourite technique - I do love a splatter to give some interest to an empty space

Addicted to Stamps #509 - any occasion 

Cards for Marion and Chris

 Hi all, I have a few personalized cards to share, so here's the first two

This one is for a neighbour of Mum. My colour theme was entirely inspired by this sheet of cardstock, so I was quite pleased with myself for getting the colour of my flowers reasonably matched! I did have a time of it getting the sentiment right, the one I settled on was version #4! My stamp is an oldie from Colorado Crafts - coloured with polychromos and a few gold splatters added to the background, along with some gold sequins.

Word Art Wednesday #734/735 - anything goes 

Sweet Stampin' - bright and beautiful 

Snippets Playground #524 - my snippet is my sentiment cut from leftover card from the base

And this one is for my brother-in-law - it turned out to be quite apt as when I sent it we had 6" of snow outside. It was the perfect 'sticky' snow and I don't believe I've ever seen such big tall snowmen everywhere before! Thankfully it only hung around for a few days, quite enough for me! Stamp from MFT. Not entering into any challenges as it's similar to one I saw online, but just uploading it here for my records. 

Last Christmas cards and Mum's birthday card

 Happy New Year! It's a cold one here and blowing a blizzard at the minute, definitely an evening for my PJs and the heat on. Miss Molly loves the snow but it's no fun for either of us defrosting the snowballs from her wee legs! 

Anyway here to share a card that was sent to my aunts, using this new-to-me set from Penny Black. Coloured with polychromos and the girl in the centre popped up on foam pads. For the sky I used a snowy stencil and just coloured through the holes with a white gel pen. 

Simon Says Stamp Monday - sparkle and shine

Word Art Wednesday #730-733 - anything goes

Penny Black Saturday December - anything goes/ something new

And this is Mum's birthday card - I had an absolute stinker of a cold when I was making it so it's not my best work, but better than expected!! I only thought of it after but I wish I'd had the numbers spelling out her birth date instead of just random. 

Cut it up #346 - anything goes
