Sarah's Mobile / Cell Phone Birthday Card

It's my niece Sarah's 22nd birthday 3 days before mine, and she's not a girly girl, more of a tomboy, she lives on her mobile phone so I just had to make a card with one on...
























Card size: 16.5cm x 16.5cm / 6.5" x 6.5"

1. Black Stardream Pearlescent Card.
2. Basic Grey - euphoria / helio paper.
3. Inkadinkado Gem Stone Flourishes stamp with added black rhinestones and black Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze pen.
4. Black Mirri card.
5. Bazzill Basic purple card cut using Megabilities Long rectangle dies.
6. Kelly Panacci Border stamp.
7. 3mm black grosgrain ribbon from Raspberry Ribbons January 2009 kit.
8. Flower was made with EK Success medium ans small Retro flower punches and Sakura Gelly roll Stardust purple glitter pen, and a black rhinestone brad.
9. Made a Mobile phone template using a picture borrowed from Google and then used to make phone out of black glitter card. The screen is made with the same Basic Grey paper and border stamps as above and the sentiment is a stamp from Hero Arts, then triple heat embossed. The number pad was made with the same Bassic Grey paper again and the numbers where stamped with my VERY old John Bull printing kit. I had one of these when I was a child and saw one for sale on eBay and bought it manly for sentimental reasons, but it came in handy for this little project.
10. The phone charm I bought from a Supermarket. It had a red and green centre but as it didn't match the colour scheme I cut the center out and put a purple rhinestone there instead.

I hope you all had a lovely Easter, see you soon.

Tilda with Tulips - This one's for Jan

REMINDER- TO ENTER MY SURPRISE BIRTHDAY DRAW CLICK HERE.

Four months ago a lady I work with Jan had a massive stroke, she's still in hospital, and will be for a long time yet. Anyway it's her 65th birthday in July and her best friend (Sue) at work has decided to do her a photo album, with all all the girls photo's in, Sue also gave us some card to write a message on to go with our photo's. Well I wasn't about to just write a message, so here's what I did...

The DP is a freebie from off the net, sorry can't give you the link as I've had the image for well over a year and it was before I started blogging. It's darker than what's shown in the photo and that's because I lightened it because I didn't want it too busy. Both the main image stamps are from Magnolia's Easter collection, the border stamp is from Kelly Panacci and the "sending a hug" and XOXO stamps are from Hero Arts. The sentiment in the circle is computer generated and is an adapted quote from The Quote Garden, it was meant for a 40 yr old. The size of the card is 15.2 cm x 10.2 cm.

Thank you all for all the lovely comments and messages you've left me, and I'm really sorry I haven't got around to reply to you all, but the Easter holiday is almost upon us and I've got three days off after tomorrow so I'll catch up with you all then.

Take care & keep smiling

Cupcake Challenge 9 - Turn Up The Heat

Hellooooooooo, another challenge, YIPEE! This one's from Cupcake, and it's all to do with heat. Be it hot colours, heat embossing etc. etc. So I decided to go with the colours, heat embossing AND the theme of my card is Summer...



The main picture is a rubber stamp called "Coneflower" from Serendipity Stamps, and as always is coloured in with my lurvley Derwent Coloursoft pencils and Sansodor. The center of the flower has been dotted with Sakura Gelly Roll Gold pen to give it a bit of va va voom. This was then had the edges sponged with Brilliance Galaxy Gold ink pad and mounted firstly onto Stardream Pearlescent Mars red card and then onto Stardream Pearlescent orange card. The backing paper is again Stardream Pearlescent gold card that has been stamped with Elusive Images Wild Meadow stamps using Encore gold ink pad and Moon Glow EP Sunrise Salmon Gold. The base card is (yes you guessed it) Stardream Pearlescent orange card. This was all topped of with some orange organza ribbon, a metal embellishment I found at the bottom of one of my boxes (organised chaos) and the slider was made with the same card as the base card with a Wizard die and then stamped with Hero Arts Sparkle Clear Message Stamps using Brilliance Coffee Bean ink pad. I really enjoyed this challenge, as I like heat embossing and I also got to use orange, a colour I wouldn't normally use unless it was a Halloween card. Any hoo, enjoy whats left of the weekend and...
Take care & keep smiling
