Sold another 17 cards...

Hello sweet bloggers,

I have good news to share which is I have sold 17 cards. And I have got an order for seven Christmas cards and seven Diwali cards.
My card to share with you is my first Christmas card of the season. The gold ribbon and cord is from my stash while the stars were sent to me by Sandra. The dull gold embossed paper is fancy gift wrap and the sentiment is from Penny Black. I have stamped that pattern under the sentiment with my Prima clear stamp using my Brilliance ink in pearlescent beige.

Hold on to your peace

Hello dear bloggers,

I just LOVE this sentiment from Unity Stamps and could use it over and over again. The printed paper is fancy gift wrap and I like it immensely. Did some faux stitching, added two cords and a shell button and it seemed ready. Had to go over the sentiment with my white gel pen.

White with some colour

Hello sweet peeps,

Here is my card to show you today - white with some colour. The image is a stamp from India which I have coloured in with my Prisma pencils. An embossed sentiment with a die cut corner and my card was ready. Trying to better myself at making flat cards slowly but surely.

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.

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.
