SUGAR BOWL CHALLENGE AND A LITTLE SWEETIE !!

A new challenge started today over at the Sugar Bowl.

 

This is the Sugar Nellie stamps challenge.

 

 

I have done this card for the challenge.

 

She is one of my favourites,as she reminds me so much of my daughter Natasha when she was a little girl x

 

 

 

I chose to go with apricots this time.

 

I have used a new Spellbinders die for the frame.

 

Noor design for the big flourish.

The sentiment is a little darlings stamp that I have embossed and put on a tag.

 

 

The cream rose button I got from Wild Orchid Crafts along with the flowers.

 

You can find this stamp in digi at Funky Kits, the home of Sugar Nellie stamps.

 

Have a peek at the sugar Bowl challenge here.

 



YOU HOLD THE KEY TO MY HEART !!

Hi everyone ...

Well storms have gone now and time for some more cards.

 

Today I have a card done with another of those

Ching-Chou Kuik images that you can find in her Etsy store.

 

 

She is called " Key to my heart "

 

 

 

 

She is coloured with copics.

 

I think she is quite elegant looking.

 

I have cut a lock and heart with spellbinders. The big heart behind the flowers are also spellbinders.

 

I have added a little bit of silver here and there to this as well.

There is a nice silver flower and a silver key charm.

 

Added some Viva pearls around the sentiment heart .

The frame is Noor Design.

 

I hope you like her as much as I do.

 

Thank you for stopping by .

 

Till next time xx



DRAGON FLY LOVE ELISABETH BELL ....

 

 

Hello all.

 

We have a very wet day here today , with a cyclone hitting the east coast of us here in Australia.

 

We are safe at this stage from it, but lots of flooding rain.

 

A good day for card making at least.

 

 

They are looking for some guest design team members  over at " Digi Bells" so I thought I might apply for it.

I adore her stamps and have done lots of cards with her images on them.

 

 

I think I was supposed to use a sketch, but I had already coloured up and cut the image and frame before I realised what I had done.

So here goes anyways.

 

 

 

 

She is called Dragon Fly love. So I have put a big dragon fly on the front.

 

Coloured with copics. The sentiment I have stamped and embossed on matching paper . From Whimsy.

The frame is from spellbinders. I love their frames.

 

The vintage flourish is from cherry Lyn.

 

some bling added and whaalaaa here she is.

 

Colours used were

RV 91,93,95. E 43,42,41,40. SKIN COLOURS ARE

E04,11,21,00,000

 

Thank you for stopping by .

LACE AND ROSES FOR A BEAUTIFUL GIRL ..

 

 

 

Hello blog peeps, !!

 

Today I have a lovely card I have made with a Ching Chou Kuik

stamp I got from her Etsy shop.

She is called " So long yesterday "  I think she is just lovely.

 

 

I have coloured her with copics.

 

I put a little stickles on those wee butterflies.

 

I used a new Spellbinders die I got this week for the frame. They were called Fleur de elegance .

 

The butterfly border at the bottom is from Noor design.

I didn't have the little matching single die , so I just cut the border again with matching paper and cut them out single.

Walnut and cream colour  roses to match.

 

The sentiment is a Little Darlings stamp.

 

 

 



 

 The gorgeous papers are from Prima called " Time Travelers Memories "

Some nice bling to finish.

Colours used for her dress were ,

E 70,72,74,77.

You can find the digital stamp here.

A BIT OF LILLY FOR PARADISE OF STAMPS !!!

Hello peeps of the Blog world..

 

I have done a card for the Paradise of Stamps challenge Blog.

 

This is my first card as a DT for them.

 

It is a nice little blog and some good challenges.

I get to make cards with any image I like , and this first time

I have used one of the new LOTV stamps.

I have used distress inks for this card. The theme was " Monochromatic" ( I always have trouble with this theme trying to do everything with one colour )

However I think you get the idea .

The lovely frame is a Paper Artist die.

Lovely paper from Pion.

 

 The birdcage and tag are those Doohickeys club series dies.

The little sentiment is also from Lilly of the Valley.
