Anything But Square!

This is the theme for the latest challenge over at Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge. We have some fabulous sponsors again and I have used an image from one of our sponsors Kenny K!

As our theme this week is anything but square I made a DL card. I used a Spellbinders die to cut out the image and inked the edges with a citrus yellow. I used some yellow check paper for the background with some pink with yellow dots through the middle. I stamped and heat embossed my sentiment onto this. The flowers are from Papermania and are white ready to colour to match your project so I coloured them with some yellow and added some green gems for the centres. I inked some white organza ribbon to match and added a nice big gem to the centre.
The image is coloured with Promarkers.

Thanks for popping by and I hope we see you over at Penny's to join in with this challenge!

I hope to see you again soon!

Make it Fruity!

Tuesday again and this weeks inspirational picture and twist were chosen by Guylou:

Couldn't you just drink that sitting in the sun, I wish! In Northern England we have snow bitter cold winds and it feel like Siberia!!

I did struggle with this one - I could not think of anything fruity that would go with the colours. Then after a search through my digi's I came across this one from Mayzy's Art.

I think she's supposed to be a lemonade girl but I made her into a limeade girlie - I prefer limeade in any case!
For my background I used some paper from my stash that I think is from Papermania. I cut the image out using a Spellbinders label die and cut the brue background out using a larger size die. I added some lime spotted grosgrain ribbon and a couple of cute heart buttons.

I coloured my image with Promarkers and used some glossy accent on the glass and jug.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will come over to the Outlawz and join in our challenge this week or join in one of the other challenges there's always something going on!

See you again soon!

April Fool..............

The new challenge has started at Eclectic Ellapu and this week's host is Berni.

Berni wants you to make her laugh! Simple!!!

 

For my card I used an image from Bugaboo, Friends Wine.

 

 

I made a DL card for this one, I size I rarely use these days - I cut the base card from some white card and used some pale grey and burgundy patterned paper for the backgroundm,, edged with lace. I cut the image out using a Spellbinders label die and edged it with some bling on a sting I also used some to go through the centre. The image was coloured with Promarkers and the sentiment was computer generated then edged with pearls.

 

Hope you like my card and I also hope you will jump over to Eclectic Ellapu and join in the fun! You have to see what the other DT have made - just awesome; see you there!

 



A Moppet Story.....

Heather Valentin, the artist who created Lacy Sunshine, started a new collection of digi's called moppets that are the most melancholy sweeties you can find!

The one I have used today is called Millicent and I think she is adorable! She seems to merge Victorian urchin with goth street kid and is unique!

The Lacy Sunshine Challenge this week is lots of layers so I have layered my little moppet up in lots of burgundy and browns. My base card is Kraft card I have then added some burgundy card topped with some beige and burgundy paper that I got in a collection from Costco. I trimmed this up with some antique lace. I have used a Spellbinders label die to cut her out and the larger die to cut out the various layers that she is on with some added ribbons. I used some burgundy glitter card to cut the Moroccan motifs.

I coloured her up with Promarkers and used some Prisma pencils to add accents.

I hope you like my little moppet and I hope you will pop over to Lacy Sunshine and check out the fabulous digi's that are available!

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

For my card I have used a gorgeous image from Sassy Design Studio, I so love these images!

 

 

I coloured the image with Promarkers and cut her out with a leaf shaped die cut. For my background I have used a whole variety of different ginghams or checks, most are from Nit Wits Collections, the central blue is a piece of gingham glitter card. I edged my die cut with pearls and added a ticket sentiment stamped and heat embossed onto another piece of gingham!

Fairies at theBottom of the Garden.....

Hello crafty friends, I don't know about you but when I was little my Mum always insisted that there were fairies at the bottom of the garden! She always said if you truly believed you would see them and I tried and I tried and I tried but no fairy every showed itself to me....

For this week's challenge over at Penny's Paper Crafty I was given a delightful image from Floppy Latte to make my card with.

I painted this lovely image with H20's and used a variety of irrediscent colours for the wings - which you can just see in the photo. I used a Spellbinders die to cut the glitter die cut  on the left of the fairy and a Spellbinders edge die for the pearlised lace edging on the right. The butterfly is cut from a Marianne die and I have added some gems for the body. Ribbons and braid all from Poundland!!

Now I really want fairies like this at the bottom of my garden, don't you?

I really hope we will see you over at Penny's for this week's challenge which is to use ribbon and die cuts - easy, peasy!!

See you there!!!

 

Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate your visit and hope to see you again soon!
