Passion for Promarkers Entry - New Beginnings

Here is my entry for the Passion for Promarkers blog competition this week. Their theme is New Beginnings so I have used one of my new cards I have made for a friends new baby. I have used my promarkers to colour the 2 stamped images (lotv New arrival stamp and a Magnolia Pram stamp) I have used various shades of pinks starting with pastel pink and the teddy was sandstone and cinnamon.

I love this stamp its great for baby cards are so easy to use for boys or girls.

I always include the babies arrival dates and weight as a special keepsake for the happy new families.

I have also used alpha squares to spell out the babies name.

This is all on an A4 folded long ways to create a lovely elongated card.

I hope the gals over at Passion for Promarkers like it?

If you fancy having a go then pop over to have a look at the DT inspirations and have a go yourselves.

Falling in love with Saturated Canary Digi Images

Oh How I love the Saturated Canary Digi Images, I came across them completely by chance a few months ago now, but when I'm struggling for inspiration I can always find something in Krista Smith's Catalogue of images that just brightens up my day. I have quite a collection of them now and i just love getting the Promarkers out and colouring them.

 Here are just a few I have done just recently. They are waiting to be used on one of my projects but I just wanted to share them with you.

This is the Peanelope Image 

This is the Umbrella Closed Image - I love this one

Finally this is the Mermaid image - I decided to colour her hair in a different colour than normal colours for an added effect.

Well until my next purchase which maybe be very soon, Hope you like them and if you fancy having a go yourself then pop along to Krista's shop and purchase some of her amazing designs  www.saturated-canary.myshopify.com.

New Craftroom so all set for a busy 2013

Its been all go today at the Unicorn Craft headquarters with the arrival of my new craft room furniture so I am now all set for a busy 2013 with all the crafting goodies I have bought over the festive season.

Can't wait to get started....

Saturated Canary Summer Card

The winter weather is creeping in with the dark foggy nights and nippy mornings, but I have been looking at summer holidays over the last few days and I was inspired to make this card.
I have used a Saturated Canary Digi Image by the very talented Krista Smith. I have coloured the image in using promarkers and layered papers from first edition range of gorgeous papers/card stock. (embossed Glitter floral used) Finishing off with paper flowers and leaves and a sentiment by Craftwork cards.
I love the SC images and have quite a collection now and they are proving very popular in my house.

VIntage Wedding Anniversary Invites

Wow it has been a bit too long since I last updated my blog. whoops!

I've been very busy in the craft room creating cards for many of my customers all around the world.

Here's a peek at the wedding cards I'm working on today

A very vintage natural feel to this design, using woodware inspirational words, a Papermania Urban 'Beautiful - Folium' stamp. i have distressed the image and then cut into 3 panels and layered on top of natural twine which I have criss-crossed.

Off to get them finished and then on to the next project.

Horses & Tractors Themed Wedding card

I had a lovely request for this special card from a lady attending a double wedding and she wanted a very personal card for her friends. The brief was for Horses and Tractors. I think I've covered it pretty well.

Close up of the charms that I have used - Horse, Horseshoe and a Handmade with love charms. Also the mini Tractors coloured with the colour scheme using Promarkers.

The rubber stamp is a hobbyarts stamp, the horses and the wall are from a Woodware Clear magic stamp set. I have used a sage green polka dot ribbon and a memory box die cut.

Thanks for looking
