Birthday Bunny!

Hi Everyone,

Today I have another cute card using some Mama Elephant stamps & dies, I also used the great tic tac toe board for 7 Kids College Fund Challenge #131 Anything Goes  

I created the background with stamps from the Mama Elephant Sunny Skies, using the solid circles, I stamped these in Avery Elle pigment ink colours, then highlighted some of them with prisma pencils. The bunny and cupcake from Carnival Cupcakes stamp set is coloured with copic markers and pencils.

This is the fun tic tac toe board at the challenge blog , I used Rectangles, Circles & Lace for my creation.

Also a close up of this super cute bunny. I love the combination of copic's and prisma pencils,  I also added some wink of stella clear for the party hat and the top of the cupcake, very pretty irl.

Thanks for visiting me today and I hope you enjoyed my card, if you have any questions I will try to answer them.

I would like to enter the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge #131 Anything Goes with the twist of the tic tac toe board. Have a go these boards are so much fun!

Cute Elephant Birthday!

Hi Everyone,

Today I have created a card for the 7 kids college fund Challenge #129 which is Anything goes with a twist of Stars & Stripes! I have used the absolutely adorable stamp set from Wplus 9 Unforgettable, these elephants are the cutest, don't you think?

I used my pencils on this card and I will list the colours at the end of this post. My tags were die cut using Lawn Fawn Tag you're it , I cut one in navy and the other in vellum stamped the stars in versamark ink and used white embossing powder and then heat set. The white background is stamped with MFT Diagonal Stripes in Memento Lady bug dye ink.

The sentiment is from the same set, I just masked off some of the words and stamped in Memento Pasis Dusk dye ink.

I hope you enjoyed my card, I had a great time making it.

I would like to enter this card in the

Pretty Pastels

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well and happy, and have had some time to craft today.

Today I have made a card using Power Poppy Digital Stamps - Geraniums 

 

I have coloured the image with prisma premier pencils for a softer look, I am really happy with the way it turned out. I used a MFT scallops stencil and distress ink in spun sugar, I also used shabby shutters distress ink around the image and the little scallop borders top and bottom, which are die cut from Lawn Fawn stitched scallop borders. The sentiment is from Hero Arts stamped in MFT Jelly Bean Hybrid ink. I added a few little sequins to finish off.

I would like to enter my card into the April Pop of Pastel Challenge

Power Poppy Challenges run for the full month so you have plenty of time to enter your pastel creations, Power Poppy have gorgeous digital stamps and stunning photo polymer clear stamps sets. I adore these beautiful flowers stamps.

Dog Gone

Hi Everyone,

I have been missing in action the past few weeks, I have been moving house, so huge! I haven't even been thinking about creating until I had everything organized. I am getting back on track now YAY! and have a card to show you today for the

  Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

SSS is really celebrating as this week the Wednesday challenge blog is turning 6 years old!!! and they would like us to use SSS exclusive products.

I got out this super cute stamp and die set called You are Pawesome and coloured him up with my warm grey prisma premier pencils ( just for a change from copic markers ) I am really happy with the way he turned out. I used SSS Stitched Rectangles to cut a white piece of cardstock, masked the edge with micropore tape and used the crafters workshop stencil and festive berries and fired brick distress ink to sponge the background. I cut the balloons from the SSS Celebrate dies and the Happy Birthday is from the SSS Birthday Messages which I stamped with versamark ink and used white embossing powder, and heat set, added some little sparkly silver pen for the dots and strings. The little border is from Lawn Fawn Stitched hillside borders, I just wanted to have some ground for the dog to sit on.

I stamped the dog again in grey ink on the inside, and added another sentiment from 

Birthday Messages.

Well that's all from me, jump over to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog for the Happy Birthday Challenge, they have some fantastic store vouchers to be won.

Thanks so much for visiting me today, and I really appreciate all your lovely comments, they make my day.

CAS Card

Hi Everyone,

Today I have a card to show you and this card practically had a mind of it's own lol! I started with my CC Designs Swiss Pixie and coloured her with copic markers and prisma pencils, then I thought she seemed just floating there on the paper. So I grabbed some X press it masking paper and created a mask for her and stamped the CC designs bench seat, added some more copic's for the seat and grass and sponged in some clouds for the sky. I added some clear wink of stella pen for her wings, pink glitter pen for the cupcakes and glossy accents for the cherry on top.

I cut her out with a stitched rectangle frame die, and also used the larger version for the gingham paper. Added a little ribbon and bow and that finished this sweet card.

Just a little close up and the inside.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges

A Wee Snowman

Hi Everyone,

Well Christmas is coming and I thought I would share with you all one of my Christmas creations.

This is a digital image from Wee Stamps by Sylvia Zet called My Frosty, Wee Stamps has been one of my all time favourite images and no wonder isn't he adorable!
I have used copic markers and prisma pencils to colour the image, and it was after the image was coloured that I decided he needed a night sky behind him, so I have done that with pencil only for a softer look, also added some cute little lawn fawn snowflake stamp with versamark and white embossing powder. The DP and CS is from Stampin up. The ribbon came from my stash and the snowflake on the ribbon is a punch from fiskars.

This is just a little closer look at Mr Frosty, I forgot to mention that the matching sentiment comes free when you purchase the image. If you love your rubber stamps Wee Stamps do have rubber available Here there are some useful links to suppliers.

How are you going with your Christmas cards? It's such a busy time for everybody.
I hope you enjoyed my snowman card, and would love to hear your comments.
Hope you have a great day.

April Challenge at Bizzy Becs , Texture!

Hi Everyone,

So sorry I didn't have this posted this morning for you , but the time just got away from me this week, it must be the last minute Easter rush lol.

But now on to the exciting part , we have a brand new challenge starting today at Bizzy Becs store blog, and the challenge is TEXTURE so we are asking you to use some type of material , eg fabric, hessian , felt , lace , ribbon, doily's etc, the theme this month was chosen by our very own DT girl Sally!

This card is for my Daughters birthday and of course she is turning Sweet 16 ! The beautiful lace behind the image is from my Mum's stash , it's so , so pretty irl, and I have edged it with more off white lace , very vintage I think, I used Unwrapped Tilda which is actually from a Christmas collection, but I thought she suits any day that presents come . lol. 

The gorgeous flowers are from Bizzy Becs and WOC. I have sponged the edges of the sweetheart blossoms with Memento desert sand ink to match my colour scheme, this pic also gives you a closer look at the SB Fleur De Lis square die I used behind the image , I thought I would give it a textured look too so I sponged it with three different colours of Kaisercraft paint, Violet , Egg Shell and Coastal Blue, I just used one of those cheap kitchen sponges , I cut a little square for each colour , wet them just a touch , then dab them in the paint and then off on scrap paper , and then on to the cut out die, it's an easy technique but very effective. Just make sure you only have a little of the paint on your sponge , otherwise it gets a bit blobby lol.

Here is a close up of Tilda, I sponged around the edge with more desert sand ink and added the scroll stamp for the corners .

Copic's and Prisma pencils used

Clothes , Socks and Present - B60, B63, B66 Violet

Skin - E0000, E000, E00 Henna

One for the Boys

Hi Everyone,

So sorry I have been a little quiet lately, but I am back today with a boy's card.

Now I would like to enter this in the Lili's Little Fairies Challenge of Anything goes and if you know me I normally would avoid a boys card at all costs lol. So this was my little challenge to myself.

I have had this super cute LOTV image for a while now and he hadn't seen any ink so I just had to give it a go!

It's not that I don't like boys, it's just that I find the girly card so much easier, but I'm very happy with the way this card turned out.

This little guy is called Astronaut and you can find him HERE along with all the other gorgeous LOTV stamps. The image coloured with copic markers and prisma pencils and  is cut out with SB labels three.

The DP is from Nitwits Spaced Out Collection, and the ribbon is from my stash. Can you see the little stars ? they are chipboard and I painted them and then while the paint was still wet I sprinkled some white hologram embossing powder over them and used my heat gun to melt it. They don't seem to look much in the photo , but irl they are really sparkly and pretty.

Here is the inside designed to match the front. All the sentiments and the little stars are from Gina K Designs stamp sets.

Copic's and Prisma pencils used

Blues - B21, B24, B29 True Blue

Reds - R12, R14, R24, Crimson Red

Hair - E55, E31 Sienna Brown

Skin - E0000, E000, E00 R20 Henna
