Simple Things...

 

 

Morning folks,

It's time for another challenge over on the  Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.  The theme this fortnight is Clean and Simple.  

For my card I stamped this cute little angel, which is an old stamp but I do love it.  I coloured the image with copics, I added that simple sentiment and finished with a couple of sequins.

A little bit of sugar...

 Morning folks!

It's time for another challenge over on the Sweet Stamin Challenge Blog.

This time we want to see you use your old stash...for me it had to be one of my favourite Sugar Nellie stamps - Pippi.  I stamped her with black memento and coloured with copics.  I kept it clean and simple as I wanted the focus to be really on the stamp as she is such a cutie.

Pop over to the Sweet Stampin Challenge blog to check out what my teamies have made.

Sweet Stampin DT card...

 

Hi folks!

It's time for another challenge over on the Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog.  This fortnight's theme is "Masculine".  Pop over and check out what the rest of the team have made.

Masculine cards are not my best and have been looking for some inspiration for a while....and then I came across this little stamp from Sugar Nellie which I love and for me this was where my love for stamping really started.

I coloured the image using my caran d'ache luminance pencils...they are so delish especially on kraft card, they almost melt, such a joy to work with.  I added a little sentiment and some dots to finish.

Hope you like.

The Sugar Bowl Challenge 134

Good morning folks, hope you are all well!!

Well I actually have had this little tag made since the weekend, organised for a change!  I was stumped on which of the many Sugar Nellie images to use for my Sugar Bowl Challenge card and then I remembermed I had new dies that I thought would be perfect for this little gorjuss stamps.

So the stamp is called New Heights from the Gorjuss range at Funky Kits...which I coloured with Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers.

I hope you like it and pop over to the Sugar Bowl and check out the rest of the teams creations.

The Sugar Bowl Challenge 132

Well today sees the last challenge of the year over on the Sugar Bowl.

I can't believe how fast this year has flown in from being snowed under at work then made redundant, a wee bit time off then a wee job to tide me over and now I have bagged myself a new role at Heineken startting on 5th January....although it's still a fixed Term job, it's a longer one and is a fab opportunity....and who knows if I do a good job they might ask me to stay forever...woo hoo!

So anyway here's my card for today's challenge over on The Sugar Bowl. I thought the image and sentiment work well together for this time of the year.

The papers were in my stash, so no idea what they are, the image is called "Fizz" from Leanne Ellis at Funky Kits which I coloured with Spectrum Noir Marker pens.

Spectrum Noir Markers used - FS2, FS6, FS8, IG2, OR3, IB1, IB2, GB3, GB4, CR6, CR7, GT2, GT3, EB8, GB8, GB10

Doodled flowers

 Hi folks, you know how I love my doodles, well I thought I would show you how I do those doodled flowers using my spectrum noir pens and a fine liner for my DT card for Spectrum Noir.

First of all I die my shapes in white card.

Next I colour the shapes in my chosen colours, it's really easy as you can match the image and papers.

Next the flowers...

I just keep adding colour to build up the colour and shading.

I have used deeper colours next.

Once you think you have the colour you want, you are going to add your doodles with your fine liner, now this doesn't have to be neat...actually doodles look better with some wobbles.

Finally you can add some pearls to the centres.

Here's the final result, I have added the flowers and heart shapes to the card. The image is called I gave you my Heart from the Gorjuss collection at Sugar Nellie.

For the flowers I used:

TN9, OR3, CR8, CR10

For the image I used:

FS2, FS6, FS8, 

IG2, IG3, IG5, IG6, IG7, IG8, IG9
