Little Ballerina

Good morning all,

 

I hope you are all having a good weekend and that you are all keeping well.  This is my first of two posts today and if you pop back later, i have some exciting news to share.

 

For now, i am here to tell you about this week's challenge at One Stitch at a Time.

 

The theme is: Use a Digi.  Nice easy one yeah?

 

I was lucky enough to be given this pretty 'little ballerina'  digi for my card today.  You can find her here.  I have teamed her up with paper from the Cotton Tail paper collection from We R Memory Keepers. The sentiment is by Hero Arts (i think!). The flowers are from Hobbycraft and i painted them using Martha Stewart paint. Pearls from my stash. Sorry, just realised my photo is looking a bit dull.  It is hard to get the right light here sometimes. :(

 

 

Challenges i'd like to enter:

Good afternoon all,

 

How are you all today? I am here with a quickie post to share with you a card i made for the surgeon that performed my recent surgery. I am not a hospital person and was quite worried and nervous about being an inpatient but honestly, i cannot praise the surgeon or nursing staff enough.  The care i received was outstanding and i am so thankful.  So i made this little card.

 

Supplies:

 

UK Craft 6x6 cardbase

We R Memory Keepers 'Cotton Tail' designer paper pack & Bazzill brown cardstock

Hero Arts flower stamp set

Tim Holtz distress ink - walnut stain

Tim Holtz flourish die

Buttons from stash

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Dies and/or Punches (i used a Tim Holtz die cut and a corner punch)
Clearly iStamp Sentimental

 

Sending a big big warm welcome to my newest followers.

 

Have a good day.

Hugs, Jill x

Good evening all!

I hope you have had a great day. I have been working on a few DT projects lately so my posts are few and far between but i do have a little inspiration for you tonight.

  I actually left this card blank simply because i couldn't decide what i wanted to put on it! Now, it can be used for a birthday, thank you, just because, thinking of you, anything! The papers are from We R Memory Keepers Cotton Tail paper pack and Me to You Spring Chic paper pack. The little ribbon sticker is by Kioshi. I made the flower using part of a Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die, some punched scalloped circles, and a button. The heart border is an EK Success border punch. The edges of the flower and leaves were distressed with walnut stain distress ink. The leaves were made using a Hero Arts flower stamp set.

Good evening all!

Tonight i want to show you one of the cards i made today.  I used Tilda with the straw hat and papers from the We R Memorys Keepers 'Cotton Tail' paper pack.  The sentiment is from Stampin' UP! I coloured the image with copics. The frame is called 'blooming frame' and is a 'freebie' courtesy of Starting Anew by Jady Day Studio at Sweete Shoppe Designs (Thank you). The edge are distressed with Tim Holtz walnut stain distress ink.
