Spring Truffle

Hi Bloggers
Happy Mother's Day!!!

Made this DigiStamp Boutique card for my lovely mum.  It is the first Mother's Day without my nan so I knew it was going to be a hard day for her.

I coloured the image 'Truffle' from the Spring Honey and Truffle Set (found here) with my Promarker and Copic markers and then added a few little embellishments (adhesive pearls and rhinestones) just to finish off the card. I am entering this card into this months Digi Stamp Boutique challenge and this week's Passion for Promarkers challenge.

I then just printed a sentiment and added that to the front at the bottom of the image.

Wasn't 100% happy with the colour of the image itself as I think I made him a little too dark but mum was over the moon with her card so that's good enough for me.

I particularly like the fact that the image has tulips in it as these are her favourites. So I also bought a big bunch of red and white tulips to go with the card.  Happy Mother's Day, Mum.  I love you xx

Hope you're all having a lovely day with your lovely mum's and for those of you whose mum's are no longer with you in person, know that they are with you in spirit, memory and your love.

Hope you like the card?

Mother's Day Bling

Hi peeps

A late addition to my blog this evening. Just had to share this card with you as I have spent the best part of this evening making it, despite the fact that the children are going back to school tomorrow, after a LONG half term week off work with them. Phew! I'll be glad to go back to work next week for a rest.

Despite my busy week at home with the children, you'll be pleased to hear that I STILL HAVE NOT GIVEN INTO TEMPTATION and still haven't had a cigarette since the 10th January... YAY ME!

Anyway, sorry, I'm rambling on again aren't I??? Here is the card to which I was referring to earlier. A Mother's Day card commission that I just had to do on brown paper wrapping and add a few other finishing touches to. Not a CAS card but hey I think it still works. I love it, so even if you don't, it's all good. Hayley, who ordered the card in the first place loves it and the customer is ALWAYS right.

I was tempted to add 'more' to it though, but Steve persuaded me not too as he thought it was enough with the roses and the bling and the letters and the sentiment. Perhaps he is right, I don't know. I do still feel that perhaps something is missing with the letters though, it just doesn't look right. I'd love to hear your thoughts if you have the time to leave a brief comment. If not, thanks for visiting anyway.

Right, off to beddie-bies for me, need my eight hours now I am getting old you know. Gonna be FORTY this May, can't believe it... I still feel like an eighteen-year-old on the inside, when did this ageing, middle aged thingy thing start?? Help! Anyway, going to down a pint of water now and I'll see you all again this week sometime, I hope.

Take care, sleep tight and god bless
Hugs

Another card that I have made for a work colleague, for Mother's Day is using a Digi Stamp Boutique image.

The background paper is leftover scrap and I'm really sorry, but I cannot for the life of me, remember who created it.

Anyway, I printed the Digi Stamp Boutique image off twice and decoupaged the top half of the image. I added some ribbon to the base of the card and coloured the image with my Copic Pens and Derwent watercolour pencils.

I hope that you like this card and I thank you once more, for popping by and visiting me today.
