A Card for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge - "More than one Fold"

Good Morning All, well the sun is out but its very frosty this morning, hopefully it wont take long to melt, we are of to do our monthly shop in about an hour, but first I have to go and have a blood test, and hubby has to wait in for our post lady, she likes to use our loo. Anyway I thought you might like to see yet one more Challenge card I managed to create yesterday and this one is for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge "More than one Fold", and I used this gorgeous image with is own sentiment for an easel card.
I stamped her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, I then used my rotatrim to cut her out as shes far to big for any of my Nestabilities, then mounted her and the sentiment on to blue card.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of the same blue pearlescent card, and one of three papers from Donna's brand new Cd "Spring Delights", its got some really fun papers on it and this one is a large daisy pattern on a blue background, the second paper Ive used is a yellow one with a smaller daisy pattern and Ive cut it into a 5"square and used one of my Martha Stewart all around border punch set, the third paper is pink with again a daisy pattern on it and this is a strip that I used on the inside of my card and Ive mounted this also on the same blue card, then popped my sentiment in the middle.
On the front I have put a strip of the same blue pearlescent card across the middle but again used the same punch along the two edges and wrapped a piece of yellow satin ribbon around it then stuck to the back of the first mount. The mounted image was then stuck in the centre, as its a big image Im not able to put any flowers around it as it would look to heavy.
This card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

A Card for the Totally Tilda Challenge - "Fruity Tilda"

Good Afternoon Ladies, well guess what Ive managed to make another card for the Totally Tilda Challenge I thought Id better make sure I was actually in time for this weeks Challenge as I was two hours late with the one yesterday, anyway this weeks theme is "Fruity Tilda" and Ive used this sweet image from last year of her carrying a basket of blueberries or is is cherries, anyway Ive stamped her onto white card before colouring her with my copic pens, then cut her out with my circle Nestabilitie Die and used a scalloped one for the mount. The sentiment is one of the Penny Black stamps and Ive stamped this also onto white card before cutting out with my rotatrim and mounting it onto pink card.
The base card is yet againa 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card, then Ive used two papers from Donna's Bearlymine "Fruity Delicious" digi papers, the first one being a all over pink base with the flowers of the strawberry plant and the fruits as well, the second paper is a yellow base with cherries on. Then down the side is a piece of the same pink pearlescent card thats been put through my cuttlebuy with a sizzex leaf embossing folder, then stuck down the card on the left hand side, I then wrapped a piece of strawberry pattern ribbon around the card at the bottom.
The stamped image was positioned in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom on the right, to finish of Ive created a flower spray with some Cherry Blossoms in pink and white, and a couple of Asters, this was stuck with some silicone glue on top of some punched out fern leaves in the top left hand corner.

Card for the Penny Black at Allsorts Challenge - "Say it with Flowers"

Good Morning Ladies, the sun is out and the weather is dry and not so cold and we are of swimming in about 30 mins so Id better pull my finger out and get this card posted. Todays card is for the Penny Black at Allsorts Challenge "Say it Flowers" and Ive used this gorgeous stamp for my card, in fact Ive used my Marvy pens to ink the design on the stamp before stamping it onto white card, I then used my brush and a little water to bleed out the colours. After which Ive cut it out with my rotatrim and then mounted it onto a piece of green pearlescent card, the sentiment was created on my computer and cut out and mounted in the same way as my image. (Can you see my deliberate mistake in my sentiment Ive now turned that weird stroke into a d, how annoying is that).
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of the same green card and three papers from Donna's Bearlymine "Plaids" digi papers, (dont forget that Donna has a 15% discount on all her gorgeous papers at the moment if you scroll down my blog you will find her code and the new beautiful paper sets shes now selling,) a very pretty one for the first layer has had its corners punched with a deep edged Flower corner punch, and on the two following papers which have been layered up, I have used the same design but in the border punch along the two edges, these were then stuck on top of the first layer. Across the middle I have wrapped a seam binding ribbon and attached it to the back of the first mount, and created a bow from the same colour and attached a pearl brad in the centre, this was then stuck on top of the ribbon on the right hand side.
I then positioned my mounted image to the left hand side and the sentiment at the bottom to the right, and to finish of Ive stuck four green pearl gems down the front on the right hand side.
