Little Angel...

Good morning sugar fans, here I am with your Wednesday posting!

Hope you are well!

Now I am sharing this card with you, my lovely friend asked me to make a Thinking of You card for one of her friends whos daughter sadly passed away. I thought I would use this lovely Diane Duda stamp which I think is just so perfect, sadly it's not available but I needed to share it but there are still lots of other Diane Duda stamps available from Funky Kits.

I coloured the image with inktense pencils....I am so loving these however they do take time. I have used digi papers from The Sweet Shoppe and layered them onto bazzill card.....I added some stitching to each of the layers....yes no doodles!!  The cloud and love heart also came with the digi pack...aren't they perfect?

The flowers are a mix of rolled flowers from die-namics and a couple of flowers which I had bought and I added a couple of teeny weeny butterflies too.

A Little bit sunshine...

Good morning sugar fans and my scheduled post.

I thought since the weather seems to have changed for the better that I wanted to share a bit of sunshine while it lasts....hopefully when you read this the sun will be shining!!

Now this is Bella Bunting and is a fabby wee stamp and is available in rubber from Funky Kits here!!

I have gone for the CAS look for this card and I do really love that type of card especially on a white background as the image really pops...making the main focus the image!

I have embossed the background with white clouds and layered onto yellow bazill card, the die cuts are all various die-namics dies...love them....and added some teeny pearls to finish.

Remember there's a special promotion over at Funky Kits until the end of the month...check it out here!!

Hope you like this weeks card and remember to pop back tomorrow for some more inspiration from the team.

Well this will be short and sweet....thought I would share this wee card that I have been busy most of afternoon making...might need to retake the photo in daylight.

The papers are from MME - Bluebell, I layered them onto bazzill card and then distressed the edges, I also added stitching to each of the layers. I added a small piece of hessian and some lace.  The flowers have been cut with various MFT dies, the flourish is a doo hickey one.  The stamp is from Whimsy which I coloured with copics and added some shading with polychromos....to finish I added ice white pearl pen dots. There was supposed to be a charm on there too but i forgot about it!!

Watch out for some news this week too!!

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.
