Draper's Creations

      This time the theme for the Send A Smile 4 Kids challenge is Easter or spring cards. I have used the Bebunni stamp taken from the brighten my day set and coloured it using Promarkers and dusting the edges using Distress ink. I matted it onto heavy green paper and attached yellow organza ribbon across each corner. I then matted it onto heavy brown paper and repeated with another row of ribbon. It was then matted onto white card. Finally I added a green peel off sentiment.

   For the challenge beginning today at Creative Corner your must use embossing powder.
   I began by matting paper printed from Docrafts Me To You - Spring Chic CD ROM onto green core'dinations cardstock. I then wrapped yellow and pink ribbon round the lower part of this and then matted it onto white card.
   The stamped image is from Crafter's Companion Bebunni floral collection. After colouring it using Promarkers I rounded the corners using a punch and matted it onto green core'dinations cardstock.
   I stamped the sentiment, heat embossed it using silver embossing powder and matted it onto green core'dinations cardstock. Finally I added a bow made from the pink ribbon.

   The challenge for you at Crafty Cardmakers and More is to use no patterned paper.
    I kept mine very simple and used a Bebunni special friend stamp from Crafter's Companion which I coloured using Promarkers. I then outlined it with silver craft strip from Lakeland Ltd which had been lying around in my stash for several years.

   This is another stamp that I have recently bought. This one called 'Bunches of Love' is from Crafter's Companion Bebunni floral collection. I coloured it using Promarkers with the addition of a Sakura glaze gel pen for the centre of the small flowers and a Sakura stardust gel pen for the spots on the flower wrapping.
   I then matted and layered it onto pink core'dinations cardstock and white card. I used the Tattered Lace die Krystal to cut small flowers from centura pearl card. These I coloured using Promarkers pens and added liquid pearl to the centre of each. I glued them randomly to the lower half of the card.
   The sentiment was from the same set of stamps and was matted onto core'dinations cardstock. I fixed it to the card using foam pads and then arranged a quilled flower and Tattered Lace foliage at the top of it.

   This stamped image called 'Snowy hugs' from Crafter's Companion was coloured using Promarkers. I then die cut centura pearl card using the Kyrstal Tattered Lace die. This I mattered onto green core'dinations cardstock having cut out the central circle. I then trimmed the edges of the cardstock  and mounted the image behind it, again trimming the edges. Using a glue gel pen I applied glitter to the snow and red glitter to the berries in the die cut. I then matted the whole onto green card and finally added a sentiment.

   Here is my next Christmas card which I made in order to use up some bits and pieces. The starry backing paper, which I printed a few years ago, was matted and layered onto red mirri card and white card, having first wrapped three rows of thin ribbon round the bottom. I bought a box of this ribbon in various colours several years ago but don't use it that often because I think it is too narrow. The mirri card stars attached across it are waste from die cuts.
   The stamped image is from Crafter's Companion Bebunni Christmas collection and I coloured it using Promarkers, gel pens and distress inks. I cut it out using a Spellbinders labels eight die and matted it onto red mirri card. The sentiment is from the same set of stamps and is again matted onto red mirri card.

   The image I used for this card is the Bebunni 'Thank you' stamp from Crafter's Companion. I coloured it using spectrum noir pens, cut it out with a Spellbinders curved rectangle die and then dusted the edges with distress ink. I then matted and layered it onto red mirri card, cut out with another curved rectangle die, spotty paper and another piece of red mirri card.
   I then wrapped ribbon round the top left hand corner and attached a bow to it before fixing it all to the base white card.
   I stamped two greetings, dusted them with distress ink, mounted them onto red mirri card and attached them to the card with foam pads, each phrase being at a different level.
