A Birthday Wish To My Mother

The challenge at The Outlawz Songs and Rhymes features the Four Seasons poem by Cecil Frances Alexander.  I was inspired by the line: "The fields are rich with daffodils" to create a card featuring daffodils as the main image

The Crafters Cafe - Ribbon and lace
https://crafterscafeblogchallenge.blogspot.com/2019/08/224.html

I have used a subtly patterned paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  I added some yellow glittery lace and some orange polka dot ribbon.  The image is from Sheepski Designs and the sentiment from Desert Diva.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added some Glossy Accents to the water in the vase. 

Perserverance

This sentiment is another from my rather large stash of printed out images and sentiments which I am slowly using.  The image is the July/August image at Limited Runs Progressive Challenge.

Summer Colours

With all the cold wintry days that we have, I am really looking forward to summer time and all the bright cheerful colours.  In the meantime, I have to make do with crafting in those colours!

Happy Birthday 2 You

I had printed out this image a couple of weeks ago and didn't get past that point.  The current challenge at The Paper Shelter is an Anything Goes challenge so I decided this was a good opportunity to colour it up and create a card:

I stamped and heat embossed an image from Polka Doodles on to some gold cardstock.  I "coloured" the image with bleach as well as splattering some around the cardstock.  I then coloured in the bleached area with copic markers.  The background paper is from Lozzy.  I added some gold glitter domes as accents.
