World Card Making Day 2012

Today is World Card Making day and to celebrate Claire at Jellypark is offering a time limited freebie - go to the Jellypark Challenge blog to snag it - and here is what I've made with it!

It comes with a sentiment but I found I didn't have enough room to add it!  I've coloured the image with Promarkers and used one of my fancy X Cut dies to cut it out, adding a dotted fineliner around the edge.

The papers are Samantha Walker - Road Trip and I've added some faux running stitch around the edges of the papers plus some ric rac ribbon, half pearls and a wonderful crotcheted flower from Dottie Red.

The sky went very wrong on the image but I don't think it looks too bad now - sort of blends in with the theme of the papers, a kind of shabby chic sky!

A busy day ahead - Jacob has a cadet kart session then we have to hot foot it to his football match in Accrington, 10am kick off and then both boys have a football party to go to later in the day.......  We've had really heavy rain and hail overnight so I'm not sure if the football match will still be on as the pitch is probably not in the best state!

World Card Making Day 2011

It's World Card Making Day today and although I won't actually be making any cards (Birthday parties to attend!) I will be doing some colouring this afternoon!


And to make it even more special, over at Jellypark there is a little temptation for you! Claire has drawn a wonderful crafting basket image which is free for you to snag and if you do create something with it, go back to Jellypark and link up your card as you could win a fantastic £10 voucher to spend at Jellypark! But you have to be quick - its only available for this weekend!

I've used the wonderful image to create quite a titchy card! The card blank I got from a recent trip to our local Scrap Store and its perfect for such little cards! I've used the free Jellypark image and coloured it with Promarkers and used a scrap of paper from Pretty Sweet cd from Polkadoodles.

The embroidery thread is also from the same trip to the Scrap Store. I've pretended to make some tiny brads by using a black fine tip pen and then adding glossy accents over the top - easy peasy!

Hope you can join in with us at Jellypark!
