First Time using Distress ink - LOTV Big Start card

Hello all sorry it has been a while but still trying to juggle everything getting there now I think. I have now started a Health and Social course on a Wednesday Chloe is nearly 5 so back to the world of work I need to go I think especially to help fund my crafting addiction. Managing to get a few orders for cards but I still am spending more on crafting goodies (which I know is not a good thing) but as I do not drink or smoke then why not it is what I enjoy. Well the first card I have made is size 6 by 6 using LOTV big Star stamped image (which was bought for my birthday present). Backing papers are from stash, stamped image is coloured in using pro-markers, then edge of hat and pom pom with glitter and I finished by distress in the edges of image with Tim Holtz distress ink - tea dye. Flowers are made with petal pairs punch which I have finished with a gem in the centre. pro-makers used:- Bear: - coco, cinammon, and tan star:- gold and yellow Hat: - red

Magnolia Tilda and Edwin Wedding Card

Hello all how are you all doing. Everything going great here. Loft conversion starting to come on slowly but can see my craft room coming nearer and nearer probably another year but so looking forward to having somewhere to be able to hide away and not have to tidy up my crafting constantly and getting to be a bit more organised I hope. Just in case your wondering my little boy is having a bedroom in loft, my little girl moving in my son's old bedroom and I am taking the little room which is being used by my little girl for my craftroom. So alot of stuff to do before I get my crafting room done but worth while the wait. Hence why I am very it hard to find time to do a daily post but will try a bit more. Anyway I have been given a few more card orders through facebook so I have been busy on my page. Well my card is size 6 by 6, backing papers from stash, Magnolia Tila and Edwin Wedding stamped image which I have coloured in using promarkers. I have used spellbinder circle and scallopped edge circle cutting dies and finished with ribbon, flowers and gems. promarkers used:- skin - ivory, dusky pink, blush, and soft peach hair - cinammon, coco, and putty clothes, cool gery 1 and 2 and blender

Forever Friends Birthday Card

Hi all I am still about - I have been busy making as I have got a few orders which I am really pleased about hopefully this is the sign of new beginnings for my cards (fingers crossed) I would love to be able and carry on and make a little something so I can stay at home a few more years with Marc and Chloe (at least until they get to back end of junior school - only time will tell).

I am having some technical issues with my laptop it lets me on some blogs but not all so apologies for not leaving comments, I think I am getting their with updates on explore etc.. but bear with me I will hopefully be up and running full speed so I can enter into alot more the challenges.

Well my card - size 6 by 6 backing papers forever friends, Forever Friends stamped image coloured in using pro-markers and then I have finished with ribbon, flowers and glittered butterfly (which I got from ebay running out now hope she still sells them).

I also want to ask a big question if someone can either e-mail or let me know by comment how do you make your own flowers - is their any particular die cutters you use to get the shape etc... thank you be most appreciate it.
