Christening card

I am sharing with you today a Christening card.

The adorable image is from Pink Gem Designs and is called 

Christening Day.

The image is a digi download and you have a choice of a pre coloured image or a black and white image. I use the black and white and coloured it using my Prismacolor pencils. 

Most of the flowers have been made using Foamiran and coloured with Pentel Oil Pastels. They have been die cut using Rosy Owl dies.

and the Whimsy Lily Flower set die

The two layers of butterflies are from the Little Darling Dotted Wings die set.

Thank you for stopping by today and for your lovely comments.

See you soon.

Keep Calm and Drink Wine

Morning blogger friends.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend and the sun is shining. As I mentioned on my last post I have had quite an emotional week but I am feeling much better now. Thank you all for your lovely comments. 

I was having a good old wander round on Pink Gem Designs site last week and could not resist the Digi for today's card. I think I may just have to take the words on this post very seriously indeed. Forget all those well meaning and philosophical captions that are around on Facebook and lots of other media - I believe I need no other advice than what is on this card!!!

 The card blank is from Craftwork Cards. The papers are a mixture of Pink Petticoat and Gina Jane Studios. 

I have made the scalloped border by punching out some hearts and turning them upside down. 

The leafty die in from Cheery Lynn and the Butterfly die is from Memory Box.

The Large flower is from a Papermania pack and the rose is from WOC.

Russ is taking me to Costa's for a coffee now so when I sit down this evening after taking my cards advice - I will be back to wander your blogs and leave some comments. Have a good week friends and see you all soon.

Love Birds

Morning friend bloggers.

Hope you are all well and enjoyed your weekend - don't they go just to darn fast. 

My card today has been made for a colleague at work who asked my to make her a Wedding Card. The Wedding card I put on a previous post is for the same Wedding party so I wanted to make something very different from that. Well I found this gorgeous digi from Pink Gem Designs called Love Birds and it fitted the bill perfectly. Good pun there as digi's are so good on the pocket. 

Love Birds. 

Aren't they just so so sweet. The Card Blank is from Craftwork Cards and the papers are from Pink Petticoat - love these papers.

I have paper pieced the image with the paper apart from the wings which I coloured with Copic Markers
The flowers are from WOC

The floral die is by Memory Box and is called Catalina Wreath. I purchased this from a craft fair but it is available from many on line stores. The Ribbon and the heart are from The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop which I won from a challenge. I shall definitely be buying some more ribbons from them as my winning stash was just gorgeous.
