My First Faux Book

I decided to make a wedding card for someone I know who gets married in a few weeks. I have seen faux books on blogs before and in Craft Stamper but never tried making one. Here is my first attempt.

The image is LOTV and the beautiful papers are Basic Grey Capella. The lighting wasn't very great, I'm afraid the pics could be better. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and added some Stickles to the edges of her dress. The heart stamp is from February Craft Stamper. Here's a look inside

and a wee side view

I hope they like it. I am entering this into the following challenges

Crafty Sentiments - punches/dies

Passion for Promarkers - new beginnings

2 sisters - sketch

Simon Says Stamp - anything goes

thanks for visiting.

LOTV challenge

THIS IS MY SECOND POST TODAY, SCROLL DOWN FOR FRESH BREWED CHALLENGE

I was lucky enough to win this cute image as part of a blog candy so decided to ink it up and take part in this week's challenge over at LOTV. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and the papers are Papermania Honey & Hugs. I have blended Spun Sugar Distress Ink around all the edges.  I have stitched round all the panels, don't look too close as the stitching is a little wonky lol!
The image was then cut out using Nesties and matted onto some silver mirri card.
The sketch was from a Stampin 4 the weekend but their challenge wanted you to use the sketch and have a butterfly on your creation. I can't see a butterfly fitting this card somehow so can't enter their challenge :0(
I am entering it into the following

I hope you like and thanks for stopping by. Last few days to enter my candy.

LOTV with buttons on

This card was made using the fab sketch from LOTV challenge this week. The image is so sweet and this is it's first inking. I'll be using it a lot I'm sure. The image is coloured with Promarkers and I have edged it with Distress Inks. The papers are MME La Paperie and I have distressed and inked all the edges with Antique Linen. I used a Martha Stewart border punch and the flowers were made using my medium Retro Flower punch. The buttons were from my stash, I think they are Woodware.
This card is entered into the following challenges
LOTV challenge - sketch
I love Promarkers - buttons

thanks for stopping by my blog and I would love you to leave a comment

LOTV challenge

I ordered my first LOTV stamps last week and today is the first chance I have had to ink any of them up. This week's LOTV challenge is a great sketch. I have coloured the image with my Derwent Inktense pencils. The papers are My Mind's Eye, La Paperie and I have distressed and inked all the edges. The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
