It's Pippi....

Well I said Pippi would be along soon, so here she is. I think there seems to be a bit of an orange thing going on here...don't you think??

Just a quickie...the papers are from Jillybean Soup - Apple cheddar Soup, which I have layered and stitched. I dyed the TH ribbon and flowers with Spiced Marmalade DI. The stamp is of course Pippi Longsocks from Sugar Nellie which I coloured again with my new polychromos.

Wish upon a star in autumn...

Morning bloggers....almost the weekend again and I will be back at work :( but never mind somebody's got to do it!! I made this card last night mainly for the Sugar Nellie Facebook challenge which did actually throw me a bit. The papers are just delish they are Jillybean Soup - Apple Cheddar and the image is "Wish upon a Star" from Sugar Nellie, which you can buy here from Funky Kits. I coloured this little sweetie with copics....now I quite like the feathering technique and then blending the colours together and this little skirt is the perfect size to add a few colours too. Although this is a Christmas fairy, I think she could be used anytime of the year but this is mix of autumn and Christmas....hope you likey!!

Dandelion clock

Here's another of my new stamps...I am just loving these LOTV stamps...they are so gorgeous!! I made this card this afternoon as I had some free time...Holly went swimming with her friend...no not in the back garden, although they could have with all this rain...they did go to the leisure pool. I used some scraps of paper from October Afternoon and Basic Grey, coloured this fabby little fairy with copics, added some gems and a couple of flowers which I made from the sizzix 3d flower die...oh and yes to finish I added some stickles...not sure if you can see that in the photo.

A Christmas angel...

Hi all...I hope you are safe and cosy in this weather. I think the worst of it has passed but there is more snow forecast for next week. First I have to apologise to Sue cos I said I would take some photos of the park along the way a bit...sorry Sue but the snow is still too deep to wade through and now it has gone a bit icy but it's also starting to come off the trees but if it returns next week then I will try again. Let me see what dramas have I had this week...well my wellies burst so I had no other option that to put my hubby's old boots on...they were so cosy...pity I looked a bit like Crusty the clown but who cares at least my feet were dry but they have given me some blisters around my ankles as they were rubbing cos they were tooooo big!! Next drama and please do not laugh....Tuesday night I spotted a giant icicle hanging so I thought I would get it...it was begging me so out I went with the shovel but as I am a small person I couldn't quite reach so I had a brainwave...I stood on a little snow hill and jumped up to attack it with the shovel....the kind of move you would make if you were shooting a basketball into a net... well what a shot,I hit it and it hit me back...right on the nose and it burst my nose and I have a bruise. I couldn't believe how fast it came down as I thought I would see it crack and then fall but no...I wasn't even standing directly under it...so beware of giant icicles!!
Onto the card...I have used papers from Bo Bunny - Midnight Frost collection, I embossed a panel with the same patterned paper,the image is from Sugar Nellie and coloured with copics, I punched the snowflakes, the message is from a CC Designs sentiments set and I added some stickles glitter.

Paper Sundaes DT card

Hello all you Sunday bloggers and my not scheduled post..cos I'm on holiday!! The challenge this week over at Paper Sundaes is "Natural Woman" and this weeks sponsor is the fabby Wags 'n' Whiskers at Stamp & Create. I have used Iris from the new fairy release from Wags 'n' Whiskers. I have used papers from MME, the flowers have been cut from the same matching paper and layered on to the card. I coloured the image with promarkers...and then did some additional shading with waterpencils...quite like doing that. I added some glitter to finish off but may have got a bit heavy handed with that. This was actually my fifth attempt at colouring this image...kept mucking it up but eventually made it and then just as I was about to take the photo ...I spilt my cup of tea...so this was the rush job replacement.
A wee reminder that there is a DT call aswell which closes 26th October so if you fancy entering check out the details here.

Good Luck

Firstly, thank you for all my birthday wishes....and I know what you're thinking..oh no not another one of those cards but one of the girls at work is leaving and she loved this image..think because it looks a bit like her so I thought I would make her a good luck card..I know she'll love it!! The image is a sweet pea stamp and coloured with copics, the papers are Crate Papers - brook collection. I made the flowery thing...I cut out circles of old cotton fabric and then coloured them to match the papers and fixed them together with ribbons and a button. Oh and almost forgot....I stamp the image twice and cut the butterfly out to give a 3D effect. I have entered this in the following challenges:

Fairy

Need to do some housework today but before I get started I thought I would make a quick card..well it's actually taken me ages!! the backing papers are various scraps I had but the dark card is Diamond dust card which was one of the very first papers/card I ever bought but I haven't used it...you can't really see the efffect but is a bluey purple and it looks like it has diamonds though it. The image I downloaded from The Greeting Farm and coloured with my copics...I tried to give her dress a kind of tyed dye look. I added some gems and some stars to make it a bit more fantasy like.
