It's a Sundae bar....

Good afternoon Sundae bloggers on the Easter Sunday...now I hope you haven't been tempted to eat the kiddos chocolate eggs!! I bet somebody has?? This week over at Paper Sundaes the challenge is "The Sundae Bar" that means make a card using at least 2 of the following 4 toppings...die cuts, yellow, pearls and glitter...as you can see I am greedy and went for all 4 toppings!!

This week we are sponsored by Stamp & Create who are offering one lucky winner... $25 gift certificate.

For my card I have used Cosmo Cricket - Garden Variety papers...I forgot I had them and there's the yellow. The image is Leisel from CC Designs..which I coloured with copics and then added glitter. I layered it all up and then added a ribbon...which was white to start with so I coloured that with a red copic and added message which has been layed onto a die cut oval and oh yes some little pearls too. I actually made a bit of a muck up of the first image, so I coloured up a second image, cut it out and layered it top of the one that I had made a muck of as I preferred that colour of card and I did some shading on the bottom layer too to give her a little shadow around her but i could have done that a bit darker as you can't really see that very well. I have entered the challenges below.

It's almost Easter...

Morning Sweet Stampers and my scheduled post. Well I don't normally make Easter cards so these have not come easy to me so why on earth did I pick Easter as the them this week at Sweet Stampin...obviously it seemed like a good idea at the time. I'm not sure if I like this or not...not my usual I'm afraid!! Pop over and see what the other sweeties have made to inspire you with Easter scrumminess!!


This week we are sponsored by Di's digi Downloads who are giving one lucky winner 5 digis.



We also have our monthly sponsor Bugaboo who are giving one lucky winner 7 digis.




For my card I have used Nitwits papers and the image is from Di's Digi Download. I coloured the image with promarkers and then cut it out, I then used an embossing tool on the back of the agg to mould it into a dome and layered it onto the card...it reall pops out as is much better IRL. I made the sun by cutting out a sizzix flower, cutting the ends of the petals.

Bella birthday...

Howdy folks....it has been another lovely day today although it was a bit foggy til lunchtime here but still managed to get the washing dried. I have been colouring this little lady back and forth all day today as I needed to get some other stuff done today too...back at work tomorrow. I just love Bella Bunting, she is a great image to practice your colouring. I have been practicing colouring with distress inks with her using some different card that the lovely Elaine sent me...check out her blog here, as she is ace at colouring!! I have coloured this Bella Bunting with copics...wasn't sure which to use as these papers have lots of different colours to tone in but I think I am happy with the pink. The papers are from MME - fine and Dandy collection. I cut out some bunting from the papers to attach to this card too...thought it fitted in quite well and I was having withdrawal symptoms as I have not added one of my flowers for ages...Lisa I hope you have your new die now!!

My favourite sweet pea..

What another beautiful day and I only have one more day before I go back to work...boo hoo!! I am posting this card so that my friend can see it as I won't see her until the weekend....she asked mt to her a card for her daughter. I hope she likes it...I used this Sweet Pea stamp which is my favourite one and she is called "Come Softly" and I coloured her with copics. The papers are from MME - So Sophie. I stitched the layers of card together, gave the butterfly a 3d look and added some glitter which you can't really see unless you zoom. Look it's my favourite colour combo too!!

Holly's card..

Well they you should never work with children or animals....my patience has been tested today!! As it's the school holidays and Holly is at a loose end today, although she has her plans for the rest of the week, she thought she would make a card. It's one of her friend's birthdays soon so she made this card....now Holly can be a bit heavy handed especially when it comes to glitter and glue....not a good combination for her however no glitter required for this one but I thought she would manage sticking this down with glue rather than tape...a bit more give with the glue. Shall we say the card is still abit heavy and damp with glue!! The papers are from Bo Bunny - sun Kissed which I think match well with the Anya she has used which she coloured with promarkers. Holly has entered this in the challenges below.
