Happy Birthday card

Hello sweet bloggers,
Here is a card I made with my new clear stamp from Dove Crafts. I have coloured the image with my Prisma pencils and have added glitter glue to the flowers, icing, strawberries and cherries. The ribbon is new and the gingham was lying around on my table.



Down below is a bee that Aleeza copied from the internet and coloured it with pencils. I had to share this happy picture with you :-)

Happy We Have Each Other

Hello lovely peeps,

This is a card I made at the weekend with my Unity Itty Bitty cling stamp. I have used Versamark bark to stamp the image and coloured it in with my Prisma pencils. The chevrons print is a washi tape and the printed paper came from Terry. The sentiment is also from the same set and I have lightly sponged the edges with TH Antique Linen. Used embroidery yarn and wooden beads for added interest.

Wish you a pleasant, arty crafty week ahead,

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.

Thank God it's Friday - yaay don't have to wake up at 530 to send kids to school.

Love,
Monica
