Tias's card

Tia and i have had an afternoon of watching TV and making cards, Tia decided to make a birthday card for her little sister ready for May.

She made the card all by herself, she covered the card in papermania pink parfait range of paper, added some glitter fairy wings and found an image of the girl with a teddy bear and coloured it in using promarkers. She backed the girl image and happy birthday sentiment with pink cardstock

I am very proud an impressed with the finished effect, its a shame her sister will only be 2 so wont really appreciate it as it deserves

card for a man

I was asked weeks ago by a friend at work to make a birthday card for her husband, he is a retired psychiatric nurse who enjoys reading and mountain biking.

I think this has been the hardest card for me to do so far, i had no idea what to do until i saw this image of a man on a bike.

Once finding this image it has been on of the easiest cards to make.

I use paperania cardstock in different browns to cover the card and used to back the images and the happy birthday sentiment. The images i printed off the computer and used pumice stone distressing ink to distress the image, arranged it all on the card and added some brown card candy.

Hope they like it.

Tacky flowery card

A friend at work asked me to do a tacky flowery card for them, i found this very difficult to do cause i tend to do cards that i like, well most of the time

I covered the card with pink flowery paper from the honey and hugs range that i was given at Christmas, then placed a dark pink card over the top.

The watering can image is a sticker from the henbury lane range, placed on  scalloped white card, the edges were inked with tim holtz spun sugar distressing inks and ten placed a sticky shimmer dot on each scallop

The butterflies are from the same range

The card did turn out better than i expected, not sure if its what she is looking for.

What do you think, is it tacky enough?
