13 year old birthday

Hi Everyone another simple card from me today, I was late getting this done for my GNiece and had to get it done and in the post. Don't you hate when that happens? I have all birthdays on my desktop so there is no excuse, I don't know what happened this time.

Anyhow, I cut the 13 card shape and the numbers out in the Cameo, coloured the image in PS and cut it out on the Cameo. It's an A5 size. Embossed the numbers and that's all it was. Told you it was quick LOL

I thought I would add a wall here, for you to pick up if you want, it's a wall being rebuilt locally and I thought it had wonderful texture, I may use it in something soon and you can too, IF you would like to lift it.

Close to this wall is this disused "Water Viaduct" associated with the Iron Industry, now a local public pathway, with wonderful views...

...with a river underneath that has a house by it, that Richard Burton the actor and who married Elizabeth Taylor lived, his house on the right, with an extension (now). Here's a link with more about them. 

Life is a beach!

Hi Everyone, my card today is for the progressive challenge at Art by Miran FB page. I coloured her in Spectrum Noir markers. I don't think I'll ever get the hang of using markers. I followed a sketch, (what would I do without them?) from Clean and Simple, the papers and sentiment are by Tracy Wray at Art by Miran.

A daffodil girl?

Hi Everyone, the image for the Art by Miran challenge is so appropriate for me, don't you think? I used quite strong colours as they are the colours of Wales and she has a daffodil doesn't she? I followed the Outlawz Sketch Challenge for this week. Great, 2 challenges done in one.

I used some cross stitched embossed card, my SIL got for me, don't know anything more about it, I tried it, as the card I usually colour on isn't that good, and, I think it worked, looks like a canvas. I followed the colours of the Design Seeds FloraPalette_9.

I coloured it with my Spectrum Noire markers and used digi papers by Julie C Designs, the daffodil behind the image has a free overlay by Tracy Wray at Art by Miran. backed with red card. I edged the image with grey marker and fussy cut her out. My colouring has a lot to be desired, but not tooooooo bad? I have added a close up of the image so you can see the card texture, shame about the colours outside the lines!

Thought I would add a few garden piccies, taken at 9am in the morning on what was going to be an awfully wet day.

Feather card

Hi Everyone, a card for a progressive challenge today, except I had to buy it, as I had entered the last one late duh!

I searched for feathers in my files and came across this digi paper I had forgotten about, it became my starting point for the colours. I used the SN markers matching the feather background. Then as I started colouring her hair I realised she shouldn't have been blonde! OH! well too late. That's why I like digi colouring, I could have changed it LOL. It doesn't look too bad, so kept it as it was.

I edged all the papers with a marker so they tied in together. The sentiment was cut 3 times, the feather was coloured by a marker.

Birthday Girl

Hi Everyone, this image is the FB Progressive freebie from Art by Miran. I used this sketch to help me, however I had printed and coloured with my SN before deciding on the sketch, so had to adapt it a little. I embossed the card then went around the card with a SN marker in lilac and yellow, I layered the image with gold paper, added a birthday die I bought recently, and glittered and added a gem to it. I was going to copy some colour suggestions, but just went with what I thought and matched the paper to it. I somehow think it works?
