Boys and their Toys

Two more boys cards created in MCS using "The collections Edition also Labels 11 and 20 of Spellbinders to create the greeting tags.
On the first card I used Forrest moss distress ink around the edges of the background and main toppers.
The second card I stamped the greeting and nameand coloured the gtreeting in with a mixture of alcohol pens

The Music Man

This card was created in MCS professional I love the aqua colours.
I used the background for the toppers and the main greeting and one of the birthday ribbons matted it onto black card then onto a white card

Kicking around

For a nephew who loves Rangers. I wanted to use my edgeabilities and decided to use the classic postage stamp:
the circle insert and the stamp for the edge.
I printed the greeting onto pearlised card and embossed using a red embossing powder the image came from MCS

Baby Love

A baby shower card!  Again I used MCS to create the background  in pale lemon also the photo was from MCS.
I used my Lacey Oval as a backing for the photo, which I turned to a black and white I used the Cuttle bug Baby wording die the the greetings in lemon and finished with three little lemon rose buds, lemon organza bows and some little gems

Two lacey Thank yous

 

Playing with my Spellbinders again and patiently awaiting my next big delivery of two POTWs from C&C has given me the inspiration to create some more cards.

I used a florals MCS to create the back ground images. then set about enhancing this with the Lacey Ovals I stamped my greeting first and scattered straw to colour the inner edges of the smallest oval and crushed olive on the other. I also used the corners from the Parisian Accents to even up the the layout. I finished with some ribbon rose buds, a bow and finally glittering the leaf trails on the background.

Polka Doodles

I wanted to do some grunge

What better to use that Polka Doodles Pretty Tuff I love Nikki Halls images and backing papers. I layered two of the papers but use MCS to print the birthday greeting and Footy Fan message. used the same papers again to make the smaller mat but grouped them together before printing also the sentiment I coloured to match the card and printed out the footballer. I used small die around the footballer so had to cut around his foot and lifter out of the die before cutting so he looks like he is running off the shaped mat. I finished with a decoupage football a mixture of fired brick and Black soot distress ink around the edges of the layers

Setting the scene with My Craft Studio

 This is CD crafting, I've had this CD but this is the first time I've used the images and not added any other embellishments if you know what I mean.

You are able to choose your own background and add extras into the foreground. the fence and dog are decoupaged and I printed the greeting directly onto the card along with the background.

There are a  load of images to choose from it really is a brilliant CD and the software MCS professional is a great programm and so easy to use.

Playing with my spellbinders again!         I came up with this baby card.I used Sue Wilson's idea                                I saw her demonstrate on C&C she has now posted a tutorial for it (fancy nesty tutorial) it looks difficult but its not I used the large picote edge circle die to creat the centre piece a smaller one for the Babies name.   My See Dees Cute & Cuddly stamps for the background inside and outside the card in pale shade of blues, then added Glitter , ribbon anf a little gem.
