with these two fabulous prizes:-

Hero Arts Fancy Friendship Stamp Sheet

and 'Our Friendship' single stamp

I am so excited that one of our sponsors this week is Saturated Canary, as I love to use Krista's beautiful stamps.

This time I have used the lovely Harley & Haley to create my friendship card.

As usual I have coloured it up using Promarkers and have tried to stick to just 2 colours, Pink & Turquoise, which I think work lovely together.  I have also tried blonde hair for the 1st time!

The base card is an 8 x 8 scalloped card (this is the size I prefer to use) I have then popped a sheet of Papermania Sweet Owl paper on top.

Over this I placed some lace and a doillie sprayed with iridescent glitter.  I cut a couple of matching frames using my Cricut 'Storybook' Cartridge and stamped a sentiment from LOTV.

 

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I think the butterfly is Magnolia Doohickey, the leaves were also cut using the Cricut Cartridge 'Flower Shoppe'.

Promarkers Used:

Hair - Buttercup, Raw Sienna, Egg Nog
Skin - Vanilla, Blush, Dusty Pink
Haley - Blush, Dusty Pink, Cool Grey 1 & 2
Pink Clothing - Blossom, Carnation, Fushia, Tropical Orchid
Turquoise Clothing - Cool Aqua, Duck Egg, Marine, Tea Green

You & Me

Hi All, we have all been under the weather in my house this last week, me with Flu and my bubba with Shingles, thankfully we are both on the mend now.

So as I havn't been crafty this week, I thought I would share a card I made a couple of months ago for a friends wedding.

I have used the lovely You and Me from Tiddly Inks

I mainly coloured using Spectrum Noirs on this one, as I have some great greys, for the dress I wanted to keep it mainly white, so I just added a tiny bit of Promarker Blossom Pink and then some crystals to dress it up a little.

The background was a freebie, but I didn't make a note of who's (please let me know if it is yours so I can credit you).

The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts and the sentiment has been stamped and heat embossed, then I added a pink organza bow to finish.

Also check out the great Tiddly Inks and Make it crafty Blog Hop Egyptian Blog Hop over the next 2 days.

THE STAMPMAN 

For my masculine card I have used an image by Susanne Nyman of Sans Designs called 'Resting Dude'.

The tree has been paper pieced using some velum in my stash that had a bark print on it.

The image was coloured using Promarkers, Copics and Spectrum Noirs, then matted onto some blue and green textured card from Papermania.

The backing papers are First Edition - Animal Antics

The sentiment was created in word.

A Close up of that cheeky Squirrel :)
