Thank You in Sepia!

Hi Everyone

Its time for a new challenge over at CCC Digi Creations.


The theme for the next fortnight is Use Die Cuts.  We have two sponsors for this challenge.  I got to work with an image from Stitchy Bear Stamps called Pretty In Pink.  (She didn't end up very pink this time lol!)

I coloured the Image using ProMarkers.  The Card Blank is a 6" Scalloped Square and my Base/Frame layer is a Bazzill Basics.  The Patterned Paper is from a Forever in Time Paper Pack.  The Sentiment was stamped using a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.  This is an old Wodden Stamp that I have had for a long time.  I used a Creative Expressions Vinery Die and the Butterfly is a Memory Box Die.  To finish I added Paper Flowers and Brown Pearl Gems.




Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today and share this card with me.  Please come on over and show us what you can do with your die cuts.  Please leave me a comment to let me know what you think.  Hope to see you again soon.

One Hot Fairy!

Hi Everyone

It's here!!!  The first New Release of 2016 from Fabrika Fantasy.  She is called Fire Fairy and you can find her and all the other fabulous Digi Stamps in the store here.


She is One Hot Fairy!!

For my card I followed a sketch for a change.  I am hoping to take part in more sketch challenges, I think they are really good for making you think of different ways to do things.  Previously I have always followed a sketch how it is but this time I turned it on its side.  Ooohh Get Me lol!

Here is the sketch

It's from the Crafty Creations Challenges current challenge and I liked the simplicity of it.  The DT made some stunning cards using it so I thought I would have a go.

I made an A5 Card.  I coloured the image using Promarkers then used a Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to add some sparkle  (Quite alot of it actually!) I wanted to keep her the firey colours but then I struggled for background papers as I don't have hardly any reds or oranges in my stash!  My Base/Frame Layer is an encapsulated Red Glitter Card.  The Patterned Paper is from a Lili of the Valley Paper Pad.  The sentiment is from Stampingallday and I used a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad to stamp this up.  I added a Red Satin Ribbon and to finish some Clear Flower Gems. 

I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges
Crafty Creations Challenges - Sketch






I hope that you enjoyed sharing this card with me today.  Thanks for visiting my blog.  I would love for you to become a follower and keep up to date with my makes and of course the upcoming New Releases! Please leave me a comment before you go.  I hope to see you again

Ribbon Weaving!

Hi Everyone and Happy New Year!

Its the start of a New Challenge over at CCC Digi Creations.


The Theme for the Next Fortnight is Anything Goes.  We have two sponsors for this challenge.  I am working with a  Morgan's ArtWorld Image and it is called Angel Wings.


If you would like to be in with a chance of winning then please come on over to the challenge blog and link up with us.

I coloured the image using ProMarkers.  My Base/Frame Layer is a Bazzill Basics Purple Shade.  I decided to have a go at a technique I saw a while ago in a copy of Quick Cards.  The demo in the magazine was weaving two different patterned papers together which looked great.  I decided to have a go and weave two different shades of purple ribbon!  The sentiment is from Inkylicious and I stamped this using a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.  To finish I added some clear purple gems.
