Trying something new..........

Well after seeing every ones colouring with spectrum noirs and pro makers, i have decided to give it ago. so i have just treated myself to the 72 pen set of the spectrum noirs, ( i will gradually build up so i can get a complete set)  some stamps from crafters companions pick of the week and all the other bits i need to get started, i think it will be good to try something different and I'm sure it will be very relaxing in the evening to sit and colour, not sure how good i will be but its something different and what do they say.....practise makes perfect. i will upload a picture of my first attempt even if it is bad just so i can also look back over time and hope i improve.
anyway I'm of to bed now I'm hoping of a crafting day tomorrow so i will catch up soon

Congratulations your engaged.
To make this card I started of with a 7"x7" card blank and covered the front in silver mirri, I then took a piece of pale pink adorable scorable a few millimetres smaller to the mirri and placed it on the mirri, I took some pink ribbon and wrapped it around so co- ordinations card stock and placed in on to the pink card stock. I took all four toppers and matted and layered them to the pale pink adorable scorable and silver mirri and placed them on the card leaving an equal border all the way round. I finished the card with a sentiment and bow and matching insert.
I think this has turned out well and I think it looks amazing in front of my marine tank x

Be Bunni........

I absolutely love the way this turned out, what little girl wouldn't love this hanging in their room.

To make this frame I started of with the tonic picture frame, with co-ordinating card stock I cut four strips to size to place around the frame, inside the frame I got some pale pink adorable scorable and cut to size and place it on to some silver mirri and placed inside the frame, and added the topper with foam pads to the centre of the frame.
With some fuchsia pink card I used the Emily deco frame from tonic and placed on the frame, I finished this of with 6 10mm roses and a sentiment.
I think this is gorgeous and loved making it x

For this card I used 2 6"x6" card blanks and stuck them together, with my ultimate pro I scored both open sections from corner to corner and folded the back on them self's.
For the matting and layering in side the card I used the plain co-ordinating paper and matted it on to some silver mirri and placed inside the card with the sentiment reading " happy anniversary" from the kit, for the 2 outside triangles I used the foil co-ordinating paper from the paper pad.
I added to topper to the one of the triangles. I didn't have any purple roses so on a cream rose I coloured it in using a pro marker and then both roses finished with some spray and sparkle from crafters companion .
Something different to a normal card x

To make this card I started of with an 8"x8" card blank
On a piece of gold mirri I matted a piece of co-ordinating paper from the all my love paper pad, I took a piece of the hearts acetate and cut it down the long side to 20cm, which would leave me a piece to wrap round the back of mirri I stuck it down to the card blank. I cut 3 gold strips measuring 2"x 20cm and cut 3 pieces of the matching cardstock just slightly smaller to the mirri and matted them together, I stuck the outside 2 right to the edges and the final piece in the very centre so it left an equal piece of acetate.
The frame I stuck it down flat at a crooked angle then stuck the topper down on foam pads
I finished the card with some large roses, a heart charm and matching insert
I think it turned out well x

I love this cute panda, who would'nt!
For this card I started of making a a5 card that was landscape opening, for the step I scored on another piece of card at 1" 3" 5" the 1" section I added tape to and stuck in to the a5 card blank
I then Mat and layered it with co-ordinating card stuck.
In the kit it had some set piece cards but I wanted to try something different so I cut up one of the set piece cards so I could use it as a mat. With some red card stock I used my spellbinders heart circles die, I think this die worked will.
I added my topper to the card stock
I finished my card with some red ribbon and bow and sentiment 

I love how it all came together x
