Anything Goes with options

So over at Creatalicious Challenges we have a lovely little challenge for you.

Anything Goes 

with optional love/anniversary/thinking of you 

and our lovely sponsor is

Wild Orchid Crafts

I chose "Thinking of you" for the theme of my card.

I used a Poppy die-cut, red textured card-stock, kraft card blank, Poppy digi stamp and a selection of Promarkers. 

I went for a simple and clean layout.

Remember to pop over and visit our lovely design team. Leave them some positive thoughts.

Back soon with more sharing

GREAT news Great-Nephew

So my nephew and his lovely wife had their first baby the other day, he weighed 9lb 4oz. So he's no featherweight.

Our new great-nephew, isn't he adorable. Looks just like my nephew when he was a baby. (except cuter....haha)
I have made them this card to congratulate them on their new arrival.

I have been really getting used to my new toy (scan'n'cut) and had lots of fun working out sizes to cut. But the hardest decision was on which colours to choose. Now call me old fashioned but I'm very much a "Blue for Boys" kind gal.
I added Sakura crystal gel pen to the egdes of all the light-blue cut-out pieces as well as a few colour complimenting gems.
But the insert was made with a little more love.

It is a rare day that I make the effort to get my coloured pencils out but this was so worth the effort.

I felt my Promarkers would be too harsh for an insert.
I used Spectrum Noir Coloured Pencils - 7, 38, 64, 69, 110, 114 & 118.

I have decided to emter this card into a challenge -

• Cut Card Thursday - Something New 

Another quick reminder;
My candy giveaway is still up for grabs , click HERE for more details and the Inlink
You have till Friday evening to enter.
