Bentley Bear - Driving along card

Along with the February 2011 issue of Card making and Papercraft magazine, I got a lovely Bentley bear stamp set.

For some reason, I loved the following stamp. I just had to colour it in! :)



I used my Promarkers with some watercolour pencils for the shading and the puffs of smoke coming out of the car.

Layered it on Holographic card for a nice shiny effect and then stuck it onto my card for a beautiful, albeit simple design.



For the greeting, I used holographic embossing powder, after stamping my image to add a little bling to the card, without being OTT.

For some reason, I had the song by the Beatles - "Baby you can drive my car" in my head while I made this card :)

I've entered this card in the following competition,
I love promarkers challenge 59 - Emboss it.

Hope you like it,

Till next time,

My first Vintage Card

I'm starting to love the vintage card trend. Distressed Cards and the like are really gorgeous ways to create trendy cards.

I don't have any specialist distressing or vintage tools, and so I used the best tool at my disposal - imagination! :)

Bit Cheeky, I know, But I am proud of the result. Me thinks it will make a lovely thank you card or even a more generic Best wishes card.

Bright and Breezy

Today, I got a tad tired of all the wintry cold. To cheer myself, I decided to remind myself of the summer days yet to come. Looking through my stash to find the brightest, summery papers inspired me to make this card, which is joining the ranks of my favorite cards simply because it is so pretty! :)





I think I'll send it off to my bestest girl pal whose birthday is in April. Till then, you guys can have a go.
