Another card with a doily

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is my card to show you today - the flower embellishment came from Terry and the doily and lace at the bottom is from my stash. I have used glitter at the edge of the doily and scored the top of the card.

Stencilled image coloured with water colours

Hello kind bloggers, 

Many thanks for the kind wishes and sure they worked. 

Here is my card to show you for today. It is a stencilled image coloured in with my Faber Castell's and I actually went over it with a paint brush dipped in water which made the image look much nicer. I landed up sticking three ribbons instead of two as I thought two looked a bit scarce. The printed paper is fancy gift wrap that I had picked up when I visited Prague some four years ago. I have distressed the sides of the image and sponged it with TH Antique Linen.

I love you berry much

Hello sweet bloggers,

I have been absent from blogland  as I was down with a horrible bug that gave me fever, cough, diarrhea and headaches. The good news is that I am feeling better, much better.

And I have missed blogging so, you cannot imagine how much.

Here is a card I made today, I simply had to make a card to cheer me up and it did do that for sure.

The chipboard image came from dear Shirley-Anne and so did the red nestie. The gingham paper, the washi tape and buttons are from my stash. 

I will certainly come and visit your lovely creations soon. Thank you for all the sweet comments on my previous cards.

White on White and loving it...

Hello kind peeps,

My card today is all white which I always love to create. Doily and heart die are from my stash and I have added tiny pearls as well as liquid pearls for interest. The lace and ribbon are from my stash as well. Am off to a stand up comedy show and hope I get to laugh a lot.

U rock!!!

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is my card to show you today - the paper is from my stash (from a Japanese thrift store in Singapore) and the cute chip board teddy came from Sandra while the dark blue nesties came from Shirley-Anne. The photo corners were also sent by Shirley-Anne. The border was punched with my Ek Success punch and the sentiment is handwritten with an American Craft permanent black pen and I went over it with my Sakura silver gel pen. Actually, I wanted to write, "U r a star" but my fingers had a mind of their own and this is what they chose to write. Lol.

Getting comfortable using doilies at last

Hello dear blog buddies,

Here is my card to show you for today... no stamping but I made every bit of the flower (with punches and dies) including the blue lace at the bottom of the flower. I glittered the flower to make it look sparkly and also added glitter around the doily which is from my stash. Some scoring on the top and my card was done. I did like how it turned out.

Now how simple could a card get???

Hello kind peeps,

Here is my card to show you - I started with something totally different but ended it up like this. And I seem to like it as it is quite unisex (more male though). I do have a doubt about the font of the sentiment which is a bit informal compared to the layout of the card. The sentiment is actually a ribbon. The dark blue ribbon is from my stash and so is the creamy label while the blue die cut was sent to me by Shirley-Anne which I have embossed to add texture. 

The card below was made entirely by Aleeza - from folding to cutting with her deckled edged scissors. She made the heart background and stuck this embossed panel over the striped paper. She has coloured over the embossing and she even cut of the corners saying she was rounding them off. Lol. And this card was lovingly handed over to her Dad by her.

I will enter this card in the following:
