A little bit of friendship...

Happy Sunday folks...well looks like it's back the the normal Scottish rainy weather!!  So I suppose that means crafting time...lol!!

I sat and coloured this little cutie last night however the dress is not quite the right colour however I think it still looks ok.

So the stamp is from Personal Impressions - A Bluebird's Proposal which I coloured with copics.  The papers are digi papers from The Sweet Shoppe...Oh I love them, they are so my colours!!  I layered each of the papers on to brown card, added some stitching and then also distressed each of the layers.  I added a piece of blue lace under one of the layers. I also added little pearls to each of the corners.  The flourish has been cut with my Magnolia fancy flourish die and the flower is a MFT layered rose...I added a pearl brad through the centre to hold it all together....then added a little ribbon to finish off.

Paper Sundaes DT card

Hi my Sundae bloggers and my scheduled post. Hopefully my head is not too bad after my school reunion party last night but I will tell you about that later.

The challenge this week over at Paper Sundaes is to make an easel card or a twisted easel card. I just stuck to the non twisted variety as twisted looks a bit complicated!!

Our sponsor this week is...


who are offering one lucky winner a $15 certificate to spend in their store.

Now you will see the top photo is the front of the card and the photo below is the open version. I have used First Edition - Up, Up & Away papers which you can buy here from Simon Says Stamp...they are so pretty. The image is Bumble Bee from sugar Nellie which has been coloured with Distress Ink's and again Simon Says Stamp carries a whole collection of DI's which can buy here. I punched the flowers with my MFT die-namics die and Simon stocks a huge amount of die-namics. I finished with a message and a ribbon on the inside....hope you like.

Happy Birthday

I have been desperate to colour in this image I downloaded from My Grafico...I think she's cute!! I coloured her with my copics and of course added a touch of glitter, layered her onto the papers which are Crate Papers, added a message and I made the flower by cutting out 6 flower shapes then I dampened them an squished each of them up into little balls, I then opened them back up and pierced a hole in the middle and attached a brad to hold them all together, then I squished in the top flower so that it looked like a bud an then just folded each of them in..it gives it a bit of a shabby look....the flower took me longer than the card!!

Pollycraft DT Challenge

I was in two minds whether to enter the Pollycraft DT challenge or not...I'm fairly new to this blogging and I wouldn't want to let anybody down if my cards aren't good enough. After a few days thinking about it and having a look some of the other entries..it gave me lots of inspiration...especially Faye's card...it's super cool!! I coloured Codi with copics and used colours based on what my Holly would wear...although she's moved to skinny leg jeans now!! The backing papers are from MME of course..my favourite and added a message and some little gems, finished off with some stitching. I also managed to fit this to a few other challenges below. This is one of my favourite tecniques...I just love stamping or using a digital image to colour and cut out and then do some layering to give a 3d effect.

Easter

Thought I would make a quick card as I have lots of housework to get done before I go back to work tomorrow. I made this card from some odd bits of card and paper I had in my stash but I thought they worked well for the Easter theme. The image has ben stamped and coloured with copics.

I wanted to make something with wings but this was all I had...not sure where all my butterflies are..anyway the tinkerbell has been die cut and then layered ono matching paper...I attempted to put a face on her but it didn't quite turn out how I wanted it to..that's what happens when you rush!! I might stick to stamping!!

Mother's Day

I just love these papers from MME..they look good with all the Gorjuss Girls..I think. I stamped the Bubble Bee Gorjuss Girl from Sugar Nellie, gently shaded her dress with pink, glittered her wings and layered her onto the backing paper. I added a couple of flowers to match the floral paper and a message...hope you like it!!
