It's a colour combo...

Good morning folks and there's a new challenge over at Lili's Little Fairies.  The theme this week is a colour combo of "purple and yellow".  Pop over and check out what my teamies have come up with.

Now purple is actually one of my favourite colours however I don't seem to have many papers with this colour...nevertheless I did manage to find these papers in my stash, they are from Bo Bunny Back to Basics collection and the yellow was a scrap I had and I can't remember which collection it's from...the image is from one ot the LOTV sketch pads and I coloured it with copics and glittered her wings and wand with some stickles  The flowers have been cut with my die-namics flower trio die, I added some pearls and doodles...I am in a doodling phase!!

Want some cake...

Hello Saturday bloggers and another miserable day here in Sunny Scotland...lol!!  It feels like winter is back...maybe it never really went away though!!

So today I have this wee card for you...finished it off last night...now pinks isn't normally a colour I go for however that doesn't mean I don't like pink like some people (no names mentioned) so I thought it would be a wee change.

The papers have been my stash forever and are from Crate Paper Bliss Collection, the stamp is from LOTV which I coloured with copics, I added some stickles to the icing and the fairy wings although it's hard to see in the photo, the flower has been cut using my die-namics rolled daisy die (not my favourite die but thought it would be a change too), I also added a a ribbon bow fastened with a teeny button and charm...finished with some itsy bitsy pearls...can you see them??

This little light...

Good morning beautiful people...what a gorgeous day for the washing!!  So first load is out, next load is in the machine but first a wee card!!

I was rummaging through my stamps last night as I need some new ones but thought I would air some of my old ones and found this little cutie!!

The stamp is Little Light of Mine from Sugar Nellie which I coloured with copics, the papers are Fancy pants - Happy Together which have been layered onto kraft card.  I added pearls to the corners of each of the layers, and that gorgeous sunflower from die-namics.

Some gorjussness....

Hey folks....yes it's another from me today!!  I desperately wanted to try a card with real flowers, well not die cut ones, so I ordered me some and here they are...think I will stick to the dies cos I am not very good at flower arranging!!  I see so many beautiful cards with lovely little floraly things on them but I just can't seem to get them to sit or look right....

Anyway thought I would go with the monochrome look for this card...thought that would be easier to showcase the flowers.  The papers are MME - Oliver, layered onto bazzill card, the stamp is Ruby from Personal Impressions which I coloured with copics and glitzed up with stickles, I doodled the edges of the card and then added those flowers...

Anyway, I made this wee card last night.  I am loving my new sunflower die...and these papers from Fancy Pants Park Bench which I layered and distressed.  The stamp is Wee Blossom which I coloured with copics, I added some cheesecloth, pearls, the ribbon and button...this seems to be my style, the distressed layers, the blue and other colour combo and those fabby die cut flowers...this seems to be me and I hope you likey!!

Lili's Little Fairies DT card...

Hello folks, not sure if this card will post first or my other one...lol!!

So incase you haven't noticed, this is my first card for Lili's Little Fairies challenge.  I was so chuffed when Squirrel asked me if I would like to join the team....how could I say no...I love LOTV stamps!!

This week the challenge theme is "lace".....but remember you also need to use a Lili of the Valley stamp on your creation!!

For my card I thought I would try to create a little scened, so the green DP is supposed to resemble the grass...lol!!  The papers are Echo Park Be Happy which I layered onto bazzill card.  The stamp is of course LOTV Rainy Days which I coloured with copics. I added some lace across the centre and a cloud to make it look like the rain is falling from there!!  The flowers were in my stash, just added a couple of pearls to them and some doodling to finish!!
