Diva?

Hello everyone. Hope that you have had a wonderful day . Thank you for calling in once more.
I have made another vintage card after finding some more Graphic 45 papers in my stash .


Sorry still not good at photos . Used camera and under light too.
More practice needed.
Image is Paris Socialite from Stamps Happen .
It was inked in brown and coloured with chalks , dry and wet. and blue marker for earings , rings and buttons . The Whisper White card with the image was then sponged with Peach Parfait and Summer Sun .
The flowers are from my stash .
Wish I could add more elements to give interest .
What do you think I could have added , if anything?
Enjoy the rest of your night then.
Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-anne.

New York Socialite

Hi there , welcome to my room , where it is 12.25 am . Thank you for visiting .
Just finished my kits for Tuesday and felt like making a vintage card  for a change. I just could not put it down till  finished .

Here I used a selection of papers from Papermania. The image , New York Socialite from Stamps Happen is inked in Soft Suede on Naturals Ivory card. I only coloured the ribbon on her hat with a marker ,  used a pearl from Kaiser for her earing and made a spray of flowers from my stash tied with scrap of ribbon as embelishment.


Hope you like it .
Catch you again soon , cheers for now Shirley-Anne

Time to Bloom

Well, here it is.. the end of  another  week . Hope that it has been a good one for you and that you and yours are well.  Thank you once more for calling in . I do so enjoy your company .
Tonights card turned out just as I imagined it at the beginning so am very happy with it . I do hope you like it .
I began with card base of Old Olive .  I created  faux stitching in white gel pen on panel of Rose Red  for the first layer. I stamped { two step} flower and stem from set Cottage Garden in inks , Rose Red and Kiwi Kiss, on Naturals Ivory card and layered that on Pumpkin pie card . The sentiment inked in  Pumpkin Pie is from retired set Bella's Bloom.
This time I used scraps of ribbon from stash to finish.
Catch you again soon , cheers for now Shirley-Anne

Friend to Friend

Hi there, welcome to my room . What a pleasant day it was in Adelaide today. Hope that your day was just as you like it . Thank you for spending some time with me .
I was browsing through a past SU catalogue and found a card that tickled my fancy so here is my take on it .


I have tons of small strips of card stock and really need to use it up so this card which I will use in kit for Tuesday ladies will deplete the pile a little . Sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments inked in creamy Caramel.
               Catch you again soon , cheers Shirley-Anne

one layer

Hi there everyone. Welcome to my room . Hope that all is right in your world today .
Turned out to be a very pleasant day here in Adelaide so Doug and I enjoyed our lunch in one of the little garden areas in Hampstead Rehab Centre . I was hoping to get some colour into his face as hospital pale is not very becoming !

Sue   recently shared  a " one layer card" which inspired me to use my favourite tree stamps.
 I think sometimes this style packs a punch .

Tree from set , lovely as a Tree. Old Olive ink used , while Always Artichoke Marker used for line and sentiment , which came from Teeny  Tiny Sentiments . All on a Whisper White card.
That's it for tonight .
EDITED
Thanks Robyn have browsed the suggested blog found this link and found this card

Trees and Birds from Jennifer      I loved the scene and the tree. So I have entered my card in her challenge .  
Catch you again soon cheers for now Shirley-anne

Every Moment

Hello and welcome to my room . Thank you for calling in . Hope that you are all well and crafting heaps .
Not quite so late tonight , thank goodness.
Tonight's card is a little change from my usual and I hope that you like it .
I have used a ruler with a scallop blade for the card edges . The front of the card is narrower than the back . But I have made the green insert normal size so that you can see a small edge when card closed .
Very Vanilla card base with a small panel of SU DSP and an oval diecut with Big Shot to start.  The flower and sentiment is from set , Every Moment, inked in Basic Brown and coloured with SU  Markers and white gel pen. I then finished with some bling.
Loved the sentiment .
Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.

For a friend

Hello everyone . Welcome to my room . Hope that the new week has pleasant surprises for you.
 Now here I am again starting a card one day and finishing the next ...I can't believe that it is so late . It seems as though my mojo kicks in at about 11.00 o'clock.
You might guess that this is going to be a short posting .
I began this card at 11.00 and finished at 12.00 .



I began with Chocolate Chip card base  and two SU  DSP, Some mesh ribbon and Chocolate Chip ribbon .
The image from SU set Friends Never Fade is inked in Chocolate Chip.
Looks better in RL . I am happy with it . Hope you like it too. Thanks for popping in .
Catch you again soon , cheers for now Shirley-Anne.
