Time for something a wee bit different...

Well it's very wet and horrible this morning so I guess it's time for another card.  I bought this stamp set towards the end of last year and I have to say it is one of the most beautiful sets I own!!  So I thought I would check out the MFT blog to see if I could enter their sketch challenge using this set.

It's very plain and simple but I think with just the wee bit colour, it makes those poppies stand out.  I cut out a circle using the pierced circle die from die-namics and then using distress inks I inked up in blue and green...makes it look like grass and sky. I stamped sections of the poppies and die cut the poppy heads and leaves.  The text and sentiment is also from the same set....oh and I added my favourite doodling around the edges...hope you likey.

A Little bit of Fashionista...

Happy Sunday everybody!!

So for today's card I have gone with colours a wee bit different to the norm..hope you likey!!

I have used papers from MME - On the Sunny Side, these papers are so perfect for summer...flowers, butterflies and the orangey yellows, the stamp is Fashionista from Sugar Nellie which I coloured with copics, now I chopped her legs off as she was too big to fit in the circle, think it looks ok like that...and lets you see you can use parts of a stamp.  I coloured the ribbon aswell as the original colour was just a tad too light so inked it up with some distress ink, I also inked up the doily as it looked a bit bland.  The flowers are made using the die-namics layered rose die...added some pearl brads to the centres and also some pearls in the corners.

supplies:

papers - MME On the Sunny Side

stamp - Fashionista Sugar Nellie

pens - copics

ribbon - the Ribbon Girl

pearls/brads - The Hobby House

die - die-namics layerd rose My Mum's Craft Shop

Howdy folks....what a gorgeous day it has been today...I hope it stays like this especially tomorrow for the perfect end to the tennis especially when Andy wins...mon the Murray!!

So a friend asked me if I would make a card for her daughter who is going to be 13 years old, so there was special requirements...a bit of pink, long hair in a braid....and a bee....well think I managed them all and she liked it...phew!!

The image is from A Day for Daisies which I coloured with copics and shaded a bit with polychromos.  The papers are Echo park Country Drive....love these!!  The sunflower has been cut with a die-namics die.  The numbers were in my stash, so I just inked them up and added some glitter and finished with some doodling and pearls.

Happy birthday Abby!!

Return to Fairy Glen....

Morning Sugar Fans...

Hey all...did you notice that sugar Mama let me loose on the Sugar Nellie blog??  Well she did and why....to share with you the next of these gorgeous fairies...

So all week the girls will be sharing a sneaky peek at what's coming your way and believe me they are just absolutely gorgeous...ending with a blog hop on Saturday!!

Without further ado let me share the next little cutie with you...

Her name is "Golden Nectar"

I thought these papers were just the perfect match for this little fairy...they are Echo Park Park Bench which I layered onto bazzill card, I then doodled each of the layers.  As I mentioned this little cutie is called Golden Nectar which has been coloured with copics.

I also used the flower trio die from die-namics as the little flowers in the image are almost the same so thought they teamed up well, I also doodled the flowers and added pearls to the centres...made with my pearl pen. I added a little bow in a matching blue with a yellow flower button to the centre.

papers - Echo Park Park Bench
stamp - Golden Nectar Sugar Nellie

Awe...just too cute...

Happy Sunday and my second post today...and believe it or not the sun is now splitting the trees, it's supposed to come first thing in the morning...not at night!!

So I received an email from somebody that goes to the same fat camp as me asking if I could make a card to give to her new baby grandaughter...I hope she likes it!!

I have used papers from Echo Park - Bundle of Joy, the image is from Cuddly Buddly which I coloured with promarkers this time, I added some glamour dust glitter to the flowers and the flowerpot....quite hard to see in the photo but they are there!! The flowers have all been made with die-namics rolled roses, the button is also from die-namics and the flourish is from Magnolia.  I added pearls to the centres of the flowers too...I also added some lace and a ribbon...the ribbon is actually fastened around the card to keep it closed...oh and I also stiched each of the layers too...hope you likey!!

A little bit manly...

 

Good morning Sunday bloggers...where has the sun gone??  It was roasty toasty yesterday but looks like we are back to the normal dull weather today.

So my mum asked me to make her a card for a friend who is going to be 70, she wanted something with a cowboy theme as he was cowboy daft when he was younger.  I told her the only image I had was a half naked man wearing a cowboy hat....and she said that would be perfect....lol!!

So I have used papers from Carta Bella Giddy Up Boy, the image is from Victoria Case which I coloured with copics.  I added some twine and attached a cowboy hat charm and punch out a star and added the numbers to it...oh and some doodles!!

Lots of Layers...

Good morning folks....oh my what is this weather like...it's so baltic!!  Anyway I am a bit late this morning and that is because somebody had been mucking around with the settings on my camera and I couldn't get it fixed...the photos were all blurry but hey ho now it's fixed....wonder who was tampering...I can give you 2 guesses!!

So the challenge over at Sweet Stampin' this week is "lots of layers"...I so love lots of layers...gives you the chance to show all those fabby papers!!

So for my card I have used papers from MME - Lost and Found Two which I layered onto kraft card, the stamp is from LOTV which I coloured with promarkers, I bought this stamp at the SECC as I had ordered a sunflower die online and thought they would both be a perfect match however 3 and a half weeks later still no die...I am having problems with the online company which I won't order from ever again...best to stick to the ones you know...so since there was no die I added a few little flowers.

Peek a boo...

Good morning Sunday bloggers and my first post of the New Year...thought I would get this posted now as I have a busy day ahead of me. I need to make some soup, then I need to do the Facebook post and then I am helping my friend deliver some leaflets...which will be for about 3 hours...I am thinking of the brisk walking so some exercise in there.

So last night I doodled away colouring this little cutie and finished the card off this morning...it's a bit different and I think I like it although I'm not sure about the pink...

The papers are my new Basic Grey - Little Black Dress (although they are brown), the rolled flower has been cut with a MFT die-namics die and the leafy one is a magnolia die.  The image is Peek a Boo birthday from Sugar Nellie which as been coloured with copics and then glittered....hope you like.
