Hubbies christmas card from playing with my new cameo

Just before Christmas my hubs bought me a cameo so of course I had to play with it lots for my christmas cards, the only problem was that I spent that long playing my cards seemed to take forever :)

When I made my hubs card I used a mo manning image, my spectrum noirs and promarkers and some pearlescent card and mirror card from cupcake crafting.

The picture isnt really doing the card credit as the colours are lovely but it hasnt pictured particularly well (as I cant have the flash on due to the mirror card and its pretty dark and gloomy here).

I am entering this in Mo Manning's current blog challenge for her favourite card challenge over at Digital pencil too.

Thanks for looking.

Don't be square challenge

Hiya, well I'm back again for another challenge (yes I know it's been a long time but Ive got no excuse).

This is a card I've done for my great niece using my new silhouette cameo and a lovely Mo image.  I cut my two shapes for the card base and made a perforated line for my fold and glued together and then created a circle and welded the letters to it and cut from glitter card.  It's my first time doing it and with hindsight I would have had the letters overlapping the circle a bit more but I'm just being picky.

I printed the image and then traced and offset it to give me a small border and let the machine do the work.  All I had to do was colour and glue and then struggle tying a bow (which probably took longer than the cutting).

I'm entering this into the don't be square  challenge over at Mo's Digital pencil Too.

I hope you like it, bye for now

Try Something New and Anything goes Challenges

This is my big sister's birthday card.  It was her birthday on Monday so it's safe to post pictures of it now.

I used a digital candyfloss image from Mo's Digital Pencil that I hadn't used before and coloured the image using using my new spectrum noir alchol pens from Crafters Companion and my some of my old trusty promarkers.  Its the first time Ive used my spectrum noirs and I've goto admit I'm really impressed with them, I've found them much easier to blend than my promarkers.  I think I can feel a need for some more colours :)

The papers I've used are from a fizzy moon paper set and I used the same papers to make the flowers to make the easel stand up.  The border in the middle is using one of my Mariane dies.  Pat said she liked it and hopefully you will agree with her.

I'm entring this into the DP2 Challenge for Try Someting New and also Paper crafting Journey's anything goes challenge.
