Roses!

Good morning everyone on this lovely summer's day!

Tuesday see's the new challenge at the Outlawz and this week's inspiration was chosen by Ina

 

How gorgeous is that, what better inspiration can you get than beautiful roses! So for my card I have use the beautiful image from Delicious Doodles

 



I used some apricot papers I found in my stash for the background and coloured up a doily heart with dusky pink Promarker, I coloured up the image with Promarkers then popped up the three main roses to add a little dimension. I found the gorgeous cream roses lace across the bottom on a market stall and couldn't resist it!

So come over to the Outlawz and join in the fun I'd love to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

Here Comes the Bride!

A new Dare to be Sassy challenge started today with the theme of June Bride! And..............Ta, Da! I'm Guest Designer for the month of June!

For my card I used the lovely bride digi -

 

She is such a lovely girlie that you don't need lots of distractions so I used some Centura Pearl white for my base card and embossed some pearl pink paper which I have edge with some silver 'lace' cut with a Spellbinders die, a pretty lacey heart, some roses and some bling - what more could a girl want!

 

 



I coloured my Sassy Bride with Promarkers and I think any bride would be happy to have a beautiful dress like that!

So why don't you Dare to be Sassy and come on over to see the wonderful work that the DT have done, certainly creations to make you go Wow! I hope to see you there and look forward to seeing what you create!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope I see you again soon!

Wednesday and the Sun's still Shining, YAY!!!

It really must be summer (while it lasts). Well it is Wednesday and the new challenge is on over at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge. This week's challenge is one that we all love and it's not Anything Goes - it's                                                      Birthdays!

We all have plenty of those to make! This week's challenge is sponsored by:

 

For my card I have used an image from Eureka

 



I made a 6 x 6 cream card and layered it up with some shocking pink card and some papers from Nit Wits. I used the out of the box technique for the image as I thought the balloons would look cute outside of the circle and I layered the image onto a scalloped circle also cut from Nit Wits paper. The sentiment is from Crafty Sentiments and I love these tickets - so cute! I coloured the image with Promarkers and finished the balloons with some Starlight gel pen then some Glossy Accent.

He is such a happy cat! I hope you will join us at Penny's for this great challenge!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you there!

It's Tuesday in Sunshine!

Yes the sun is shining here and it makes the world a better place!

Being Tuesday means its the Color Challenge over at the Outlawz and this week's inspirational picture was chosen by Roxann

 

Couldn't you just sit on that patio and a twist that everyone will love!

 

For my card I chose the Sassy Design Studio Showgirl image, I love this image (can you tell!)

 

 

I used some paper from my stash and added some organza ribbons in peach and blue. I used a scalloped die cut in grey to back the image and addes a little bling! The image was coloured with Promarkers and a little glitter added to the gown.

 

I hope you will call over to the Outlawz and join in the fun with this great colour choice and twist!

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you there!

 





Sassy Lady!

Quick post from me this morning! I was asked to make a card by someone who's friend will be 50 this week. She teach kids from underprivileged areas to dance so what else could I do than this

I have to say this is one of my favourite images from Sassy Design Studio it seems to fit the bill for all sorts of occasions!
I teamed her up with some gorgeous paper from Raspberry Road, added some lace and some organza ribbon and a touch of bling! The numbers were cut on my Cricut and then glittered to death with the same glitter I have used on the dancer.

 

I coloured her with Promarkers and made sure she had plenty of sparkle!!

 

I had just finished this card and started colouring up another SSD image when I spotted an email to say I have been chosen as Guest Designer for Sassy Design Studio this month, woohoo! That means I get to colour up lots of Sassy Ladies - watch out for my next Sassy Lady and some more exciting news I will share with you all later.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you all again soon!

Is it Summer Yet?

I was just wondering - we went for a spontaneous drive yesterday and ended up in Prestatyn in Wales. Found a lovely craft shop and as I was so skint Al bought me some goodies, lucky me! So today may be play time, lol!
My other task is to try and find a cheap holiday somewhere warm, I'll keep you posted on that one!
The new challenge is up at Eclectic Ellapu and this week it is hosted by the Pink team and the theme that was chosen by May is anything with wings - that leaves you plenty of scope!

For a change I made a box - I printed the card with a Raspberry Road digital paper, I edited the size in Photoshop to print it out in a 6 inch square then printed two copies.

 

The butterfly is a die cut from Marianne which I cut from some cerise glitter card and some pink glitter card, I stuck them back to back with the cerise on the underside.

 



I edged it round with some silver vintage edging and used some pewter chain for the top with a dash of cerise ribbon. I used some lace flowers and added pearls to the centre and added a twirl of silver.
I hope you'll all come over and join us in this challenge cos I'm sure you will have something with wings in your recent makes, I've seen some lovely fairies about as well as the birds and butterflies - there's even some cute littles bees about too!
Come over and check out the fabulous work from the design team, woohoo, it is amazing!

See you soon!
