Vellum Dedication

This is the final card for the Dedication on Sunday! I've used a vellum circle which has had the edges dotted with Liquid Pearls plus a Digi Sparkle image which has been coloured with Promarkers (how I love these teddy bears!) and cut out with a Nesties (and the edges dotted also with Liquid Pearls).


The ribbon, buttons and embroidery thread are all from my stash and I printed the sentiment on the pc. It follows the Sketch Saturday sketch:

So I think I now need a fix of pink after all that blue!

Embossed Dedication

Another Dedication card, but this time its for the Forever Friends challenge which is:

Monochromatic

I've used a Forever Friends image from a cd I got with this months Papercraft Inspirations and although its not a decoupage image, I printed three images and then layered different elements up.
The background has been made using a Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls embossing flower and I've dragged an ink pad over the top. The edges have been dotted with Liquid Pearls and also around the edge of the Nesties die cut. Sentiment is computer generated and the ribbon is from my stash.

Look out for the final Dedication card later on!

Not An Easel Card!

I'm just about making the Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge in time this week. Something to do with faffing around too much and not making a decision! I've been asked to make some Dedication cards for Sunday, and this is one of them:

I've used a Di's Digi image, coloured with Promarkers and a little glitter glue plus half pearls, prima flowers and a rosebud from my stash. The sentiment is computer generated and the papers are from Nana's Nursery 8x8 stack which I bought half price in the January sales.

And although you can't really see it, I've used a Martha Stewart punch for the panel down the centre. The ribbon in real life is a really good match with the papers - I blame the lighting in the kitchen for the bad colour! And it follows the Sweet Sketch Wednesday:


Got a few more Dedication cards to show over the next few days so stay tuned!

Another Easel Card?!

They are a bit like buses - all come at once!! Here is the second card from the digi set from The Clip Art Fairy and I've personalised it for Harrison's Dedication on Sunday. I simply printed off the digi sheet, added his name and then added an extra card layer plus glitter glue and the ribbon and buttons. Really quick and easy to make and I think they look lovely!

It fits the Charisma Cardz challenge which is:

Easel Cards

The buttons, cross stitch thread and ribbon are all from my stash and surprisingly, all matched up!

Dedication

I'd been asked to make, at short notice 26 Dedication invitations, by a good friend. And is one of them! I've used a Digi Sparkle image which I coloured with Promarkers, and because I needed 26 all the same, I scanned the image and then printed it. I added the name afterwards as I just could not get it looking right on the pc! It's been layered onto blue card the same as the main image. The bears nose has had the glossy accents treatment too!


I've then dotted with a blue gel pen around the edges of the card and image. And that's it! I also did all the wording inside too. Thank goodness it was half term when I made them as I'd have never managed it otherwise as it took me just over 24 hours to make them!

It fits the challenge over on Digital Tuesday which is:

Celebrations

The Dedication is similar to a Christening or Naming Ceremony. I'll find out first hand when I go! And it is the same Harrison who has been featured HERE - just in case you were wondering! He's a bit bigger now though!

Get Funky Challenge 15 - Tags

It's the first of the month so time for another Get Funky! Challenge! This week the lovely Lou is our hostess and the challenge is:

Tags!

If you are stuck for inspiration, look no further than the Get Funky! Challenge Blog - lots of tags to be seen! You have until 30 November to enter and we only have two little rules - follow the challenge and use at least 1 Funky Hand product in your creation! Easy!

I've made a little tag book by using papers from Funky Daze (Son Day collection) and my Sizzix Super Sized Scallop tag (try saying that fast!) The lettering on the front is from my Cuttlebug Baby Face alphabet set.

The little cutie is Harrison who was born on 7 August this year and his Mummy and Daddy you can see here! Harrison is just 6 weeks old on these pics and was quite fascinated, as you can see, by me and my camera! Well, actually, its not my camera - I've got it on loan from my cousin Claire's other half and it is very very swish. And heavy!

I've also used my Nestabilities to create the frames around each photo plus added ribbons and gems here and there.



Ah, this photo is actually 90degrees out. Thanks Mr Blogger!

Good luck and hope you can join us this month and please remember our two little rules - it does make a difference when they are followed!

• All papers: Son Day collection from Funky Daze by Funky Hand
• Dies: Sizzix Super Sized Scallop Tag, Cuttlebug Baby Face alphabet, Nestabilities
• Everything else: My stash
• Baby: Harrison!
