Christening Card.

This is a card I have done for an order. A friend has since seen this and ordered a new baby card done like this too. Super chuffed with myself and the results.

Diggie stamp is from Mo's Digital Pencil called "I even love the box gen" and the name was done with "Ultimate Alphabet set" from Alison Higginbottom of "Aly's Inky Fingers".

CBN "DT" Pop-up's card.

This fortnights challenge over on "Crafty Bloggers Network" is 'Pop-up's. I can honestly say I have never done a pop-up card before and really enjoyed making this card. Hope you will pop over to the blog and join in the fun.

Card Closed.

Pop-up Card Inside.

I used a LOTV wedding stamp and their postage sentiment stamp set and my promarkers to colour the image.

Brown and Orange Humphreys Corner HUGS Card.

Here is a card I have made this afternoon. I stamped the image and coloured it in with my promarkers, which I then cut out with a set of "Crafts Too" square bracket dies that I used on the diagonal. I added some gold rafia and some card candi. Hope you like it.

Diamond Spring Saturated Canary Card.

Here is a rather simple card but one that I really like the end results. I used a saturated canary diggie stamp that I coloured with pm's/fm's/tria's. You can buy "Saturated Canary Diggie Stamps" from this Etsy Shop.

Green & Blue "Put Your Feet Up" Card.

Here is a card I have made using a gorgeous and funny diggie stamp from the loverly "Mo Manning". I used my promarker and flexmarkers to colour the image and the LOTV stamped sentiment. I then embossed green/blue card and mounted on the other colour mirror board. I then mounted the image on 2x layers (one of each colour) mirrow board. I then glossy accented the sentiment which was still drying when I took the photo so is a little opaque but will dry clear and shiny. I also coloured some white pearls to fit the colour scheme. Only a quick card but hope ya enjoy it.

Saturated Canary Card.

For the following card I coloured a "Saturated Canary diggie stamp" called Nevaeh available from Krista's store here: Saturated Canary Store. I coloured the diggie stamp with my flex-markers and promarkers.

Male Themed Birthday Card.

Here is a birthday card I made today. Made using a loverly "Mo Manning" digital stamp which I coloured using my marker pens and then cut out. Sentiment is made from an LOTV stamp set. I then made them into the card you see following. Also used in this card was my WRMK "Sew Easy" tool. Hope ya like it as I am chuffed with this card and people who know me well will know how rare that is. Enjoy.

Here is my "Shabby Chic" card for this weeks challenge over on "Crafty bloggers network". This was my first attempt really at shabby chic so I hope you like it.

Please hop over to the challenge blog and join in the fun. Thanks.

Marker Colour Chart.

Well you all know I am addicted to using my promarkers and flex-markers and limited edition spring promarkers. Well today I have sat down and done a complete colour chart with ALL the pen colours on the one chart. I have wrote on my own copy a little 'L' on the limited edition colours as you can see in the photo below of my coloured in chart. Think this is what comes from having all the promarkers, flex-markers and 3x packs the spring limited edition pens and of course some useful duplicates.

My own full PM/FM colour chart completed.

I don't use the colour numbers so have only put the colour names on the chart. Here is my blank marker colour chart: DOWNLOAD LINK

Just a little colouring.

Well today I got some more LOTV stamps. Well I stamped them out after ez-foam mounting them. And coloured in one that really caught my eye. This is the results.

A Quick 'I Love You' Card.

Here is a card I made yesterday. Used my promarkers and flex-markers and other bits and pieces. The glossy accents decided to run a bit but still I really like this card. Enjoy.
