Daisy Elf Easel

 Hi Everyone

I would like to share this Easel Card that I have made with you.  The Image is called Daisy Elf and she was a freebie from Aurora Wings a couple of weeks ago.  I couldn't wait to colour her up.  I love Aurora Wings Images. Thank you Mitzi!  I coloured her using ProMarkers and made a 7" Square Easel Card.  I added Diamond Sparkles Angel Whispers Glitter to the Flowers on her headress, her Wings, the Butterflies and also the Daisy Middle.(You may be able to see the glitter in the close up photo!)  My Base/Frame Layer is a Bazzill Basics Blue Shade and the Patterned Paper is by Galeria Papieru and is from the Colourful Meadow Paper Pad.  I was going to load this card with Embellishments and Die Cuts but I love this paper so much I decided not to hide it.  I added a Satin Ribbon and Hand Tied a Double Bow.  The Sentiment is from Inkylicious and I used a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.  I finished by adding a couple of Paper Daisies and Pink Pearl Gems

Anything Goes with White Christmas Tree

Hi Everyone

Its time for another Anything Goes Challenge over at Scribble and Scrap Challenge Blog.

 Please come over and join in with Challenge #43 with us this fortnight.

I have made a card using a technique I don't often use anymore.  I have stamped and embossed a Christmas Tree and Sentiment.  Both of these are from Inkylicious and are called Christmas Tree Flourish.  I used an Emboss Tinted Ink Pad and Wow White Pearl Embossing Powder.  I have layered the Image onto Hunkydory Silver Flourish Mirror Card.  To finish I added a Silver Lurex Bow and Silver Pearl Gems.

Sparkly Shirley

Hi Everyone

Here is my latest creation using one of the Images I won back in October from Beansie Doodles.  This Gorgeous Girl is called Curly Shirley.  I coloured her using ProMarkers and added Diamond Sparkles Pink Glitter to her bow/headband, buttons, belt and sock tops!  The Card Blank is a 6" Square and my Base/Frame Layer is a Light Pink Glitter Card.  The Spotty Dotty Paper is from Wild Rose Studio Bella's Birthday Paper Pack.  I used Memory Box Loveland Corner and Memory Box Precious Hearts Dies and cut these in Dark Pink Gliiter Card and a Salmon Pink Glitter Card.  The hearts that came out of the Loveland Corner Die Cut I have dotted around the Image.  (Got to use it all!!)  I added the "Just for You" Sentiment, a Wired Pink Flower and finished with a Pink Pearl Gem where I layered the Hearts and a Bow to the bottom corner.

Fitztown Challenge #70 Anything Goes With A Twist

Hello Everyone!

We would love it if you would come on over to the Fitztown Challenge Blog and join in with this Month's Challenge.  The Theme is Anything Goes With A Twist - Use Flowers and/or Leaves

For my Mid Month Inspiration Creation I have used Image Valentine 12 and this can be found here.  To see more of the lovely Images available visit the Fitztown Store by clicking here.

I love roses and I am such a fan of the way they can be used for so many occasions.  I decided to make a Thank You card with this Image.  I have a Yellow Rose that comes up in my Garden so I was inspired to colour this one Yellow.

The Card Blank is 7" Square and I coloured the Image using Promarkers and Graph'It Markers.  My Base/Frame Layer is Bazzil Basics Blackbird and the Rose Patterned Paper is from Hunkydory's Card Pack.  I cut 2 of the Creative Expressions Petite Vinery Dies from a Green Bazzil Basics and added Lemon Paper Roses to them.  I used an Organza Black and White Polka Dot Ribbon and Hand Tied a Bow.  To finish I added the Pearl Gems.

Anything Goes - Looking Chic!

Hi Everyone

It's time for another Challenge over at Scribble and Scrap Challenge Blog

The Theme is Anything Goes and it would be fabulous if you would come over and join in with us in Challenge #42.

My DT Creation this time is a Shutter Card which I have made in advance for one of my Children's Teachers for September when they move classes/schools. (I have several Teacher/Thank You Cards to make)  I have never made a Shutter Card before.  I have always liked them when I have seen them dressed up.  I thought that they were one of these things that looked difficult but was actually easy.  How wrong was I??? lol!  They are as difficult and fiddly as they look and mine is a fairly plain layout.  I must admit I nearly threw it across the room several times but I persevered and I am happy with the outcome.

The Image is one of my absolute favourites.  It is from Penny Johnson and is called Looking Chic.  I stamped it using a memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad and coloured her using ProMarkers.  The Verse is from Circa Designs and the Thank you Teacher is from Stampingallday.  I used Bazzill Blackbird as my Base/Frame Layer and the Patterned Paper is from the Dovecraft Sweet Paris Paper Pack.  I added some Pearl Trim for a bit of Glitz and a Pink Satin Bow to Finish.

Magical Winter

Hi Everyone

I have a Black and White CAS Card to share with you today.  The school holidays have got me kind of feeling like I need to chill out, hence this calming creation!

The Card Blank is 7" Square and I used Inkylicious Xmas Tree Curl and Winter Beauty Stamps.  I Stamped them both using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.  My Base/Frame Layer is Bazzill Blackbird and I added a few small Black Pearl Gems to decorate the Tree.  This sentiment is one of my favourites that I own.

All Aboard The Birthday Train!!

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all ok.  Its been a very busy couple of weeks for me and with the kids breaking up on Thursday for Easter it is about to get a whole lot busier!!  Its my youngest Son's 3rd Birthday near the end of the month and I would like to share the Birthday Card I made for him with you.  He is absolutely Train Mad so he should love this!!!  The Image which I coloured with Promarkers is called Love Train Luvvy and was one of the very first Digital Stamps I ever purchased.  It is from Digital Delights but when I went on their site earlier I couldn't see it so it may well be retired now.  I added Ryan's Name and a Number 3 Peel Off to the Image.  The Card Blank is 7" Square and my Base/Frame Layer is a Bazzill Basics Blue Shade.  The Spotty and Gingham Background Card are from my Stash.  I Hand Stamped both the "To a Very Special Son" and the Verse Sentiment using a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.  The verse I did think originally was a bit old for him but we call him our "Little Man" lol.  To finish I added several Blue Pearl Gems.
