Quick card share today - used one of Paula's fab digis - available over on Pollycraft here.

The glitter on the underlaid vellum isn't very evident in this photo but is really very glittery!  I matched the image by using diamond stickles on the bride's headpiece and flowers.  Used my copics for shading - kept the colour on the image to a minimum.

Raised the sentiment/greeting off the card with dimensional adhesive (pop dots!)

Congratulations Card

Made this card with the wonderful digital kit "Watercolours" by Jen Martakis.  Printed the image on some pp from the kit, machine stitched around the edge.  Added red gems and a red ribbon bow and stamped the sentiment.

 Thanks so much for stopping by - I hope you have a great day.

Digital Cards - quick and easy!

Sharing two cards today that I made with the kit by the wonderfully talented Jen Martakis called "Watercolours".  I printed the images on top of the pp from the kit and added machine stitching around the edges of both cards in co-ordinating colours.

I added stamped sentiment to both and red gems to the first and Hero Arts smooth gemstones to the second.

I hope to visit as many blogs as I can this week - but I know in advance that it will be tough!.  I have a lot of website content editing to do for Cork Week!.  It started last Saturday and lasts right through until next weekend.  So if I am scarce! you will understand why.  May even get to share some shots I take from "on the water" this week!.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you all have had a great weekend and wonderful week ahead.

Quick and easy digital cards

Just want to share some more cards that I made with the wonderful freebie "Velvet Flower" from Tiffany Doodles and the new DeLovely range from Cosmo Cricket.

I love working with this wonderful digi.  I printed out a sheet full of them, cut them out and then colour them as needed!.

Thanks for peeking.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend and for those in the US - enjoy the 4th!.  I miss the celebrations we used to have with friends, fireworks etc. whilst living in the States.  We will do our own celebration here in Ireland for our two little Americans!  Enjoy.

Congratulations Card (tongue in cheek!)

Supplies Spellbinders Nesties Labels 8, Dovecraft Retro Card blank,

The Greeting Farm - Charlotte digi image, copics, misc gold ribbon

This is a Greeting Farm image - Charlotte, and I really think she has tremedous attitude.  So I matched the sentiment (computer generated) to her, printed and coloured her as a "Congratulations" Card to a special someone who may even be reading this post - so I won't say too much.  I just think the retro card blank from Dovecraft is a perfect match to her.  Hope the recipient enjoys it as much as me!!! So fun!  She just makes me laugh - a little cheeky!.  Saw this sentiment somewhere on my blog hopping over the past week or so and just knew it had to go with this image!.

Hope you had a great weekend and here's hoping a wonderful week ahead.  The boys are on mid term so I won't get a chance to visit many blogs for the next few days.  I will be thinking of you all though..... thanks for stopping by.
