Wee Florist & Ink Storage

Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all well and happy. I have a card today and I used the adorable image Whimsy Wee Florist available at Bec's HERE .
I have coloured her with copic's and pencils, the DP is Prima Romantique collection, the sentiment is one of Bec's Digi freebies. The lace die is from Cherry Lynn Designs, the ribbon and slider is also from Bec's online store and the flowers are from WOC, the pearls are Kaisercraft. I just thought I would share her with you she is such a cutie!

I would also like to show you my brand new ink storage unit!
I am absolutely thrilled with this, I found it on EBay HERE and they are made here in Australia.
Colin & Lynn are wonderful to deal with , fantastic service and a great solid product, if this one doesn't suit your needs Colin will custom make one for you and you can contact them by email colynn@iinet.net.au 
This is my Christmas present from my Son this year, I am one very lucky Mum.

Merry Christmas Bling!!!

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all getting your chrissy cards done it's getting so close it's scary! I am back today with another card for Brittney's teacher. If you normally follow me you would have seen the traditional Christmas card I made for the teacher that likes old fashioned things, but today I am in the totally opposite  direction with this creation ! the order was for bling and sparkle......
This little sweetheart is from the new Magnolia Collection called Sweet Christmas Dreams - Something for you Tilda and I purchased her from ShopBron . The DP is from Nitwits Collections called Still joyful too, the snowflake circles I have punched out of Jillibean Soup DP Christmas eve chowder, the reindeer charm is from Bunny Zoe Crafts and the silver corner is from WOC. Do you like the snow trim ? Cute I thought.
The cute christmas trees are a cuttlebug die that I have had for ages and the label is Spellbinder fancy labels, the sentiment is computer generated , I also added some Kaisercraft rhinestones for that extra bit of sparkle.
I almost forgot , I used copic's & prisma pencils to colour tilda and I have lost the list I used , sorry about that . Note to self , must get more organized lol 

I would like to enter the following Challenge

Thanks for stopping by , and I hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

Little Santa

Hi Everyone,
Well today I have my very first card as a  Bizzy Bec's DT member, and it's for our November Challenge which is Circles. I have used one of Bec's digital images Little Santa Painting Toys , I must say I am loving digi images at the moment they are so versatile, as in my case today I simply resized the image to fit my project perfectly.
Now as you can see I do have some squares in the background lol, but my circles are right up front. I also used Bec's digi sentiments that are freebie's at Bizzy Bec's Store Blog on the right hand side bar.
I have used spellbinder dies - standard small circles and scallops and Heart Circles, you can get them at Bec's Here.

I have coloured Santa with copic markers ( list will be at end of post ) and used Memento Bamboo leaves ink around the edges while it was still in the die. The Red & White DP is Basic Grey -Wassil and the Green & White is from Nitwit Collections. The ribbon & gold corner are from my stash.
Here's a pic of the inside, that I decorated to match the front. Sorry about the bad colour in the photo , I have no idea why it turned out like this , all the photo's were taken at the same time.
And lastly a close up of Santa!
I hope you can join us for the November Challenge , remember the theme is Circles, and don't forget to check out all the gorgeous creations from all the DT Girls , they are sure to give you some inspiration!

Copic's used
Red Suit R27, R24, E19

Holy Tilda

Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all well and happy, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the lovely comments you all made on my DT position, I appreciate each & every one.
Today I would like to share a card that my daughter requested for one of her favourite teachers for Christmas. Brittney (my daughter ) asked if it could be a little old fashioned and the first thing I thought of was maggies! 
I chose the lovely Holy Tilda from the new Sweet Christmas Dreams collection, she is such a cutie and I do love the hair do. I teamed her with Bo Bunny Father Christmas papers which are stunning IRL. The flowers are from WOC as are the gold corners, the border die is also from Magnolia and the ribbons are from my stash.
Here's a close up of Tilda that I coloured with Copic Markers and Prisma Pencils ( I will put the list at end of post ) I sponged around tilda with Antique Linen Distress Ink  for more of an aged look. I also used a gold gel pen for the dots and vine around the Holy , sorry you can't see it in the photo.
I decided to put the sentiment ( computer generated ) on the inside front and leave the other side so Brittney could write her own words.
Brittney has also asked for another Christmas card for a different teacher and the theme of this one is Bling so stay tuned I may be back soon to show you that one he he he ....
