Pearls & Swirls

This is the challenge for this weeks Onestopshop Pearls & Swirls challenge.
I have used a digi stamp from Wink Wink Ink and decoupaged it onto a big pink flower, I also added a small pink one to the top corner. I also added a heart charm & small pink pearls & also a pink pearl brad in the centre of the top flower.

Sea paper is from Hobby House
Pearls, Charm form Running With Scissors
Flowers from Samuel Taylors (click on Crafts)

Birthstones

This is my Birthstone card, where do you get Opals from? this is the nearest I could find, my Birthday is in October making it Opal. I have used pink,green & pale blue are the pastal colours in a Opal. I thought the lace & flowers also are a bit like the colours I chose.

This is my First Official Posting
as a proper DT for One Stop Craft Challenge and I'm absolutely bursting with pride, I have been wanting to shout it from the roof tops for over a week.
This weeks challenge is #79 Wedding Wishes & A DT Call.

These are the ATC's I made for Running With Scissors April swop, my friend Faye mentioned to me that the group picture doesn't show much bigger when clicked on so to make it easier for anyone wanting to see the bigger picture I have tried to make it easier for everyone.

Aprils Swops

These are the swops that I got back from the april Easter/Spring ATC swop at RWS, first I would like to say thanks for such lovely returns & secondly I would like to say sorry for the shaky picture. These are from some of the lovely ladies I have got to know over the last few years some are new but feel we have been friends for years, TOP two are Tracey Jackson & Anne Tate, the Bottom two are Nicki Foster & Anita Wells, the three down the side are Top Helena Philips, Middle Clarky J and Bottom Barbara Hancock (aka Bee). Cheers Ladies they are lovely and for those partaking in the May challenge get a move on you only have 3 weeks haha

These are my lovely ATC's that I made for the April Challenge at Running With Scissors in Grimsby, the theme was Easter/Spring we had to make 8 but if you count them I have 9 as I don't listen (I have selective hearing I'm told haha) so I gave one to my little friend Carla. Each card has got a shrunken down Magnolia image that I did with My Craft Studio, I then coloured them with water pencils & Distress Inks by Timmy Holtz. I added something different so they wouldn't become a series, some have texture, some have bling, some have Ribbon I have also put a Duck & Toadstool form Crafters Companion in a couple. I also Diamond glazed a few ie: Easter eggs,
Toadstool, wellies & Ladybird, Butterfly & Tilda's egg, I also Flocked the 2 bunnies

Missed the lot

I made this card for about 6 challenges and can you beleive I missed them all, never mind thats another christmas card for the end season. I distressed (thats how I missed my posts through stressing) the pink card, made my own backing paper, I coloured Edwin with my marker pens(marvy etc) and watered them down like paints. I was goig to invest in some lovely new Copic pens which I would probly only use once or twice before the trend changed yet again, so I thought I would give these a whirl and I dont think they have come out bad. I also used my Nesties which I'm using more than I thought I would, odd bits of ribbon I nearly threw away and stickles.

Card stock, Ribbon,Stickles: Stash
TH: Distress Inks
Magnolia: edwin sledging
Nesties: Labels 9 (I think)
