a clean and simple wedding

A friend asked me to make a traditional/classic wedding card for her friend possibly with pearly card and roses , but to keep it simple and understated . I had just seen the theme for the challenge at ILPMS   ,which is clean and simple ,so I figured that this would fit the bill .The stamp is from LOTV  and I used promarkers and flexmarkers to colour it.I also used pearl white paper to make the roses and leaves  which are also coloured with promarkers 

I have been a busy little bee this week

I have managed to get 6 cards made this week ! That's not many I know ,but for me it is loads,one was actually needed for a birthday but the others have all been just for fun -or rather for my stock so that I don't have to rush to make one every time someone in my family has a birthday !
This is a just for fun one ,made following the requirements for the I love promarkers challenge this week which is to make something spotty

I also made myself some new promarker storage using scrap card and lots of patience , sore finger tips and glue .I did nt realise how many pens I had until i had to make a space for each of them .I have made a few spare ready to glue together in the hope that I win the challenge prize from letraset !

A card for a challenge

This is actually my second card that I have made specifically for a card challenge,only I forgot to take a picture of the first one before I posted it out !
This is for the http://ilovepromarkers.blogspot.co.uk/ challenge where they are asking you to use die cuts .I have used a Dustin Pike image and a marianne leaf die with a sizzix dragonfly .The dragonfly was also coloured with promarkers ,I love how the inks all blend together and give a rainbow effect when used on foil.

Odo Longfoot

Here is Odo Longfoot , he's a rather handsome troll
He nearly didn't make it ,after a disaster or two in the oven .He fell over the first time and he distorted his feet so I allowed him to cool before snapping them off and rebuilding him.Somebody forgot to remind me that he had gone back in the oven and he got a wee bit burnt .Unfortunately only the old original clay burnt and his new feet stayed pink .I wanted him to have a dirty appearance anyway ,after all who ever heard of a clean troll ? I used antiquing medium to colour his pink feet and a bit here and there and he is perfect- just how I wanted him

Ok ,now how do I do this ?

It has been almost a year since my last post ,and boy has it been a tough one.I have been a carer now for about 16 months and it is rather tiring .My husband goes to bed pretty early so it gives me the evenings to do my crafting .Trouble is I'm too blooming tired to do much.I have been suffering too with my neck and shoulder pain ,sciatica and also stomach ulcers .
I have decided that I can't let it get me down and I need to get on with some crafts. I am very lucky to have a craft room stacked with goodies so I am currently trying out lots of different things ,I particularly like using polymer clay and have made little dragons, trolls and jewellery .Sewing is something else I enjoy and I have made a few dolls and soft toys .Over the next few days I shall be adding some pictures of my creations as well as some of the cards that I have made in the last 11 months .I managed to make loads at Christmas for all my family and friends and forgot to take pictures of them all so nothing to post up .
I am also going to start joining in with the challenge blogs that i used to love so I will be posting on here more regularly -I promise !
