Sprinkle Some Love...

Happy Sunday everybody...well I have been playing again with some new rubber and this is what I came up with last night. I have been trying to blog it for a while but my internet is being a bit dodgy today.

Now i don't have an oval die so I have to cut my ovals out by hand and I was a bit sleepy last night whist cutting and got carried away and I accidently chopped the little flourish that is out of the oval...well it's patched in and hopefully I have enough other bits to look at on the card that takes your eye away from the booboo...lol!!

The papers are MME- Breeze, the flowers have been cut with various MFT rolled die-namics, the flourish is from Magnolia. The stamp is of course from sugar Nellie called Sprinkle some Love which I coloured with copics and shaded with polychromos, I finished with some gems, pearls and glitter...hope you like.

Candy hearts...

howdy peeps....it's a very, very rainy day here today and there's nothing better than to play with your new sugar....mmmm! so delivered today and ordered yesterday...how is that for service from Funky Kits??

Not sure if I have went a bit overboard but I thought I would start with this little cutie called Candy Hearts from Sugar Nellie, coloured with copics. I also stamped the image onto masking paper and stuck the mask down onto the coloured image and then chalked the blue background....The papers are Echo Park - Hello Summer and Prima - Double Deux, all the layers have also been distressed. The clouds and flowers have been cut with MFT die-namics, I touched up the flowers with some ink too and then doodles everywhere really!! I finished with some glitter to the flowers...hope you like.

My favourite....

Good morning folks....this will be short and sweet this morning as it's the Gala Day...woo hoo...so just getting ready. First I have to share Pippi with you...The challenge over at Sweet Stampin' this week is "your favourite stamp". What a hard decision this was as I have many stamps that I really love and I have a bestest favourite which is a Christmas one but I didn't feel like making a Christmas card so I decided to use Pippi Longsocks from Sugar Nellie...she is well up there in my top few!

I used papers from Papermania - Portobello Road and Making Memories, I stitched each of the layers and distressed the edges, the flowers and buttons are cut from MFT dies, I added a twine bows through the buttons, the flourish is cut from a do hickey die, the message is from LOTV and the stamp is Pippi from Sugar Nellie which I coloured with copics....went with the red, white and blue theme since it was the Jubilee next week.

Pop over to the Sweet Stampin Challenge blog...this week we are sponsored by Letraset, who are giving away a set of pens and we also have our monthly sponsor Joanna Sheen who is giving a £10 voucher.

Birthday Wishes...

Good evening my blogging buddies. This is a quickie before Britain's Got Talent starts and then Take me Out!! Oh I do watch some rubbish!!
