Cheers....

Good morning folks...well I said yesterday we had no snow, well it's arrived today!! YAY!!

My card today is quite plain and simple although I followed the sketch over on the MFT blog. The papers are from Basic Grey - Little Black Dress collection, I stitched around the edges with pink thread and the distressed them.  The stamp is from Al la Modes Cheers from MFT and I paper pieced the dress with the same paper, I added a couple of tiny gems for earrings.  I added a couple of felt flowers which I made using the die-namics rolled rose.

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.

So for my card I have used some scraps of paper that were in my stash, they are from Heidi Grace - Frost Boulevard.

I punched a couple of snowflakes and added a pearl to the centres and then glittered them and the snow people up!!

Papertake Weekly GDT card..

Good morning bloggers and another scheduled post, now I'm not sure which one will be first as they are both scheduled for the same time. I was delighted when I got an email from Dawny asking if I would like to be Guest Designer over at Papertake Weekly for the month of December...I was so chuffed as I do try to take part in their challenges most weeks when I can. so the challenge this week over at Papertake Weekly is "anything christmas" with the optional extra of something dangly, which I completely forgot about...so a good start!!

Their sponsor is Lili of the Valley....so you don't want to miss this!!

For my card I have used Fishing buddies from LOTV which I coloured with copics, the papers were in my stash and I really can't remember where they are from. I added a punched snowflake(cos i love snowflakes) and some matching ribbon...it isn't actually as dark IRL. I finished off glittering it all up...hope you like.

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.

This one is for you...Faye...If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake..

When I saw this image I just I had to have it...although I am not 100% happy with the colouring so I might do another but for now here we are. I wanted to enter the simon says Stamp challenge this week but couldn't think of a song that would match a card but when I started colouring I started humming a wee tune to myself and I thought...perfect. The papers are from Scenic Route...which I need to get more off as I am running out and I am liking these ones...the image is a Whimsey Meljens Designs image which has been coloured with cpoics, I added some glaze to the spots/sweets on the cake but you can't really see it in the photo, I also added some chalk around the flame of the candle to give it a glow...hope you like an I have entered in the following challenges:
