DT Card and New Romantic Release

I want to share with you my latest DT card for digi image site Bee Crafty. I've used the 'heart garden' design which has only been released for sale today...and soo reasonably priced!

I've stamped a piece of acetate with the word valentine (using elzybells hybrid ink) and made it form one half of the front of the card. It was difficult to get a pic that would show it up, hence the 2nd pic below. I've coloured the image with polychromo pencils, blended with sansador and added a stickles to some of the hearts. The papers are all Magnolia and the kraft (100% recycled) card is from elzybells.

Thanks for visiting today!

Best of all I get a £5 voucher to use in her online store.. me thinks some shopping is is order tonight.
Right, best get back to work now before my boss realises what I'm doing - or not doing ;o)

Plaid 'tastic'

Woops! I've been meaning to post this card on here since the weekend but got side-tracked!
It's my entry into the competition that Elizabeth of elzybells.co.uk is running until Thursday 20th August. To qualify you have to design a card (or other paper craft project for that matter) with 'plaid' featured somewhere on it. Now, I don't own many elzybell's stamps atm so felt a bit restricted, but nevertheless I am fairly pleased with the result and, although not winning material, she seemed to like it too so quite happy. :o)

Not sure what happened to the picture above showing the inside top half of the card. It looks almost pinky/purple coloured in the photo but it's actually just white card!

So many great challenges I want to enter this week but, like most of you, I only have enough time to enter 1. Only question is...which one? lol. I particularly like the sketch challenge at www.fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com.

Hey all, it's crafty 'sunburnt' Trix here! lol. Now, living in a flat I don't have my own outdoor space so seized the opportunity on this gorgeous sunny bank holiday Saturday to tag along with Adam to his parent's house (they are on holiday though) to craft out in their garden and catch some rays at the same time; however, I must have been sat at a funny angle as just my right arm and shoulder got really burnt! :o( Still, I managed to sit there and create this little number! Not sure whether to add some more colour to the sheep though...hmmm..

Evening all! Hope your day's been a good one.

I haven't been crafting for last couple of days (boo) as working on job applications as things looking a bit iffy in my current job. I wish cardmaking warranted a salary!

I did have time at the weekend to make St.Paddy's Day card ordered by my (Irish, of course) friend at work. I used one of my new stamps from a set by Elizabeth at elzybells.co.uk and my beloved nesties and some new charms I bought on ebay. The pictures seem to make it look quite plain though. See what you think...
