Hi everyone I'm sorry there has been such a gap between posts, it's not that I haven't been making cards I have but adding them to my blog has just been too much. 
However i'm making amends now so there are Four below to have a look at.
The first is a birthday card for one of my parchment card friends and also SCS challenge, the next is a birthday card for one of my daughters and was inspired from a card in Craft Stamper (have I mentioned its my fav mag!!) the second is a SCS challeng a type of Baggello piecing also a lot like Siminel patchwork (have no idea how to spell either of those two but you get the drift) The third or first depending on how you are looking at them was great fun and a wonderful way to use your boarder punches.
All cards are in my SCS gallery with more details.

This card is for my daughter who loves dragonflies
I have used a number of techniques in this card. Emboss Resist
Black Magic and colour blending. I have also made my own glimmery mist.
 The  mist reciept is very simple. You need: 
A mini mister filled almost to the top with water and I put a size 6 seed bead into the mister to help stir up the spray and stop clogging.
Reinker ink of choice 3 drops into mister
Perfect Pearls of choice, take your paper snips or small sizzors and push the tip into the Perfect Pearls powder about half a centermeter what is left on the snips when you lift them out is what you put into the mister. I put three of these into this particular batch however it is better to put less in to start as you can always add more, likewise you may want the spray to be darker in which case you just add another drop of reinker or two but start off slowly and thats it.
WHAT I HAVE USED
Card;
SU Basic Black, Whisper White. DP from Dollar and Cent store. (has little dragonflies on a purple background but you can't really see them just a glims
Ink; SU Craft Whisper White, Soft Sage, Taken With Teal and Versa Mark embossing ink.
Polychromose Pencils;
Small dragonflies - 107, 113, 115
Large dragonflies wings - 137, 276
Large dragonflies body - 137, 157
Stamps;
SU Upsy Daisy, Dragonflie solid ??, Daisy Bucket Designs Dragonfly 5020.
Accessories;
Clear embossing powder, Perfect Pearls Forever Green, SU Soft Sage reinker. Tim Holtz sponge applicator and sponge used with the SU Ink pads.

Cheers

Copic OZ challenge #6 \"It\'s Summertime\"

Hi everyone this is a card made with the Copic frog, isn't he cute! I'm going to submit him for the "It's Summertime" challenge even though I have already put one in. You can get the frog from the Copic Facebook site and I really want to upload him to Facebook but have no idea how??
The frog caught my eye first then while I was out shopping last week (we could still shop last week, this week a lot of the shops and homes are under water) the DP caught my eye at something silly like 30 cents a sheet and the rest is history so they say.
WHAT HAVE I USED
I have used Split Coast Stampers SC313 challenge as the layout. I embosed the solid colour with a Cuttlebug folder the one with the grass / reeds and bird. I butted this up against the DP card and mounted both onto some silver card.
I downloaded the frog image (in black outline) then using a text box and a 2 peas font added "Lazy Days Of Summer" in orange.
I then printed the image and saying onto card stock. Once the frog was coloured I cut out around some of the frog and then went round the cutout edges with my black 100 copic. I layered this onto some green card that I had punched a boarder onto. I then threaded some ribbon from the $2.00 shop through the top holes of the boarder and added rhinestones, mounted this to the existing card, went over the words with orange Spica pen and vola here it is.
CARD: SU Daffadil Delight, Wild Wasabi, DP $2.00 store paper.
INK: Wild Wasabi (around edge of saying)
STAMPS: Digi art from Copic Facebook, computer generated words using 2 Peas font.
COPIC MARKERS:
Frog Body;
YG00, YG03, YG17, YG67
Inside Mouth; E02, E04, YG17, YG67
Tongue; E02, E04
Eyes; C00, B0000, B00
