Wizarding Wishes

Hello lovely peeps

For today's card I've used the 'Wizard' digi stamp from Tiddlyinks, printed out and coloured in with Graph'Its and Promarkers. I was in a bit of a hurry so rather than spend ages getting the folds of the cloak right I just used black paper. 

Lighthouse

Hello lovely peeps

My mojo has been a bit AWOL lately so I've been casting around for some inspiration. I saw this lovely photo inspiration challenge over at Time Out so I've used the theme and colours as the basis for my card (which I'm planning to use for a friend who's moving house soon, fingers crossed).

Hogs and Kisses

Hello lovely peeps

For today's card I've used the pig from the Oddball Farm Animals stamp set by Stamping Bella, stamped with grey Memento ink and coloured with promarkers. The sentiment is from Down on the Farm Sentiments stamp set (also SB), stamped onto a scrap of First Edition paper.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:-

Jungle Trellis

Hello lovely peeps

This is my second trellis card, heavily inspired by Cornelie at the current Lift Challenge.

As there are a lot more embellishments on this one the trellis was starting to bow inwards a little, so I reinforced the front of the card with some acetate

Simple Trellis Card

I Sea

Hello lovely peeps, I hope you are well.

It was a gorgeous day here yesterday (if a bit cold still). Makes me hopeful that Spring is on the way. 

Today's card is another unusual fold/seaside theme, this one is called a Double W Fold. We did these at cardmaking club at the end of last year and they're so effective that I thought this would be an ideal fold for doing my friend's 'big' birthday card.
