Handmade With Love

Last week I posted a picture of the magazine article I was featured in, so I thought you might like to see the cards close up. Firstly I am sharing this one below.

The digi images and papers are from a collection by Wendy Massey at Handmade Harbour. To create the card I coloured the image with Promarkers before adding a die cut fence and mounting the picture onto card and the corresponding papers. I really love this image (excuse the pun) and think it would make a perfect valentines card.

Later this week I will be sharing the second card in the article -so do pop back!

Autumn Fairy

Well you know Autumn is here when the heating comes on in the morning! Its one of my favourite times of the year, so I made a card based on that theme. I used a digi stamp by Michelle Perkett, which is part of a Four Seasons set. The background is from a My Craft Studio CD. I used Promarkers to colour the stamp and then glittered the background. The foliage is from My Craft Studio Flower Expert. There are quite a few challenges this week with this them also so these are the Challenges I am entering :

Well what a week I have had, one of the most exciting pieces of news was being selected for the Alphabet Challenge Design Team - my very first! The theme this week is O for Only Three Embellishments, so this is my card. I used a digi stamp from The Paper Shelter store and the three embellishments I used are bakers twine, a butterfly and a button. I can't wait to see everyone's take on this theme and I will be visiting your blogs to comment. So do join in!
