Best Mummy

Today is our day at All Dressed Up for our second lot of new release inspiration.  I'm using Best Mummy for my inspiration, you can find it here

The image has been coloured with Copics.  The edges have been distressed with Walnut Stain distress ink from Tim Holtz.  I've scattered some embossing enamel around the edges.

My design paper is from Lemoncraft, I've added some lace behind the image and some pearl string.  Finally a few pink pearl gems.

Momma mouse

It's new release day at All Dressed Up.  Wendy has created some fab new images.  You can check out the challenge blog and Facebook for the images and inspiration using them.

I'm using Two Little Mice - perfect for Mother's Day, but only if your mum likes rodents ;) Who wouldn't love such cuties though!

If you love using Wendy's cuties did you know we've a Design Team Call on at the moment?  Check out the Facebook Group and challenge blog where you can put your entries in.

I've used Copics, a black polychromos pencil and a while gel pen to colour the mice with.

Here's a close up of my flower arrangements.  You can find flowers like this at The Ribbon Girl, Noor Design and Wild Orchid Crafts.

I've used design papers from Lemoncraft.  The top layers of each layering have been distressed including the image.  I've also used some Vintage Photo ink to do some distressing on them as well.

To complete the card I've used some wood chip embellishments and a sentiment from Scrapiniec and a few pearl gems.

Thanks for dropping by today

Flower Bouquet

The challenge at SheepSki Designs Challenge blog for March is FLOWERS.  I'm joining my lovely ladies this month sharing some inspiration for you.

This is Flower Bouquet, you can find it in my Etsy shop here and get 10% off this and all my other images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

The image was coloured with Copics.  I coloured it early last week for the shop but then left it.  We were short of inspiration for the blog this time so I've knocked up a quick card with it.

The image has been fussy cut.  All my design papers from Lemoncraft and Maja Design have been distressed.

I've added some tiny banners cut with a Fantasy die and then some Tim Holtz Chitchat Verbages stickers for the sentiment.

As well as the blog challenge we have a challenge in the Facebook group themed ANYTHING GOES these have an optional TWIST ;)

Outlawz April Progressive Challenge

It's been strange to see people using my image, wonderful and so amazing - thank you everyone for your kind words about the image I created for you at Outlawz for your Progressive Challenge.

I drew this image (For Mum / Mom now available in my shop SheepSki Designs) a couple of months ago.  I made my first card with it for my mother in law for Mothers Day here in the UK and knew it would also be perfect timing for anyone that wanted to make a Mothers Day card in America.

This is the one I did for my mother in law.

She loves vintage so I did a clean simple design with some distressing.

This is what I've just made with it today to show a different style.

The image has been coloured with ProMarkers and cut out with a Spellbinders die.

To the left of the image I've an arrangements of craft gauze and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and The Ribbon Girl.  Your can also see some tiny silver dragonfly charms in this picture.

The design papers I've used are from Joy Crafts and they've been distressed.

Apart from some pink pearl gems I've used a white paper butterfly and a clay heart from Live and Love Crafts to finish the design.

Mother's Day is sneaking up on me and I;m so NOT ready for it!  This is the first card I've made for it - I'd better get my skates on.....

This is a new image available from today on Etsy called For Mum / Mom and is image no 15.

Aiming to do this one for my mother-in-law I've done it shabby and in pale colours to blend with her decor at home.

The image has been coloured with ProMarkers.

I've done a very simple layout and just distressed the edged of the card before mounting it onto some pink cards stock from Lili of the Valley.

My final touch are some pink gems which I got from a Crafty Friend at Christmas
