Princess door hanger ..Project for Julia Spiri Stamos DT

Thisproject was so far out of my box..I rarely do anything but cards as I have manual dexterity and doing fiddly things is very difficult for me now..But I have to say I do really love this little creation and enjoyed making it ..The Door handle is a Chipboard blank I purchased from Every Craft a Pound,but I think it was two for a Pound something like that .. They are real value for money,and nice and thick. The pretty little girl is coloured in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card,and then for this piece fussy cut out...I stuck the papers directly onto the shape ,but I drew around the top and the bottom edge first and decided the amount I wanted to use on each piece as I used an 8x8 Tonic Paper pad and it would not cover in one so had to do it in sections..One sorted I glued the three pieces down and put faux stitxhing around it ,then did the same with the small heart for the bottom. I then used worn lipstick to go around the work..not too gad at this hence don't do it often lol....When this was done then I added some pretty spotted pink ribbon to attatch the heart to the door hanger,put some across the seams of paper and added the bows.. I then added the little girl using 3D glue gel..To finish I added a sentiment and small punched flowers with tiny crystals in the center to decorate..Thank you for visiting xx

Purple and Black Christmas.. Glitter n Sparkle Weekly Challenge

I coloured the lovely image in with Polychromos onto neenah card,then fussy cut her and the penguin out.. The papers are Papermania from the Digital do crafts I have on my pc ,I used these as I knew I could change the colours to purple ,as you do not get that many pretty ones around ..Once printed off I mounted onto black card stock ,And the centerpiece I drew a rough border around and coloured with CC , SN New Sparkle pens,this I also did to the fur on the images too and the lilac flowers on the embellishments, sadly with the white light no matter how I angle them this does not show ,yet they are very pretty in real time.. For the dies I used Marianne designs for the Pointsetia,,CC ivy die and Tattered Lace for the other dies...I mounted the backing papers onto an 8x8 card base ,then added the other papers as shown..I added the topper with 3D gel glue to give depth and decided to use some silver in the foillage as it is a Christmas card and it would have been a bit dismal in black and purples hence I went with the silver and Lilac..To finish I added some snowflake gems I purchased of Ebay..Get so many bargains on there lol..Thank you for visiting,enjoy your day xx

Filled With Love.. MyBesties UK DT Same but Different Card

Hiya todays card is a Same but Different card as it is that time of the month where the team all colour the same image and it is amazing how different each card is ..I coloured her onto Neenah card with Polychromos Pencils and added some highlights on the flower,heart, fur,bow and Lettering with my SN Sparkle pens..The bottom pic shows this off a bit clearer. I then fussy cut her out.. The background papers are from Dovecraft's Krafty Christmas paper pad,and all were mounted onto craft card.The top layer is from my Tonic pad and I did a fancy border around the edge and coloured around it using my Red Sparkle pen,just to give a sparkle and interest too. I layered all my papers onto a 7x7 card blank then added the Bestie to one side ..I cut some poinsetias and hand coloured each one on Centura Pearl with a hint of gold ..this gives an under glow to the inks and the pearl gives that nice satin finish..The small flowers are from a Britania die and the bigger a Marrianne die .I also sprinkled the odd punched snowflake here and there too..To finish I added green faux pearls to pick up the green on the dress.Thank you for visiting :)xx

Snow Much Love ..Glitter n Sparkle DT Card

Hiya ,this is a simple quick card ,but so pretty..I have coloured it with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card,then mounted it onto some beautiful teal card..Then using Dovecrafts Krafty Christmas Paper pack I chose a pale blue spot for the background and also mounted it onto the same card ..This was then added to a 7x7 card base..I then punched out what felt like a hundred snowflakes ,in between chasing my puppy off as she was trying to help lol..I did these in the off cuts in the teal card and in white.. I added the topper with 3D glue gel then decorated with the snowflakes..first I shaped then so they added some depth,once on to finish I added some tiny blue gems to add a touch of sparkle

The image I have used is from Stamplorations,I have coloured it on Neenah card with Polychromos Pencils andthe background and table I first coloured with pencils then uses a SN Sparkle pen in clear to go over the back and table ,this has given a depth of field to the image , sadly it does not pick up too well on the pics ,but looks stunning as it puts the whole focus onto the cakes at the front and just adds that bit of sparkle too, I then mounted it onto Black card ..The backing papers are from a Tonic pad called Folksey Floralsand arealso mounted onto black card..along with the sentiments..I used a 7x7 card base ,layered up the papers as you can see then added the topper with 3D glue gel to give a bit of height,stuck on the sentiments and added the red gems to finish..Thank you for popping bu :)xx

Be Thankful ..Saturday Inspiration for Morgan's Artworld

Hiya its Saturday once more and my Inspiration at Morgans's Artworld.. The theme the team is using is Thankful or Thank You so I have chosen this image as a celebrate the beautiful colours nature has given us and how thankful we shoud be for such an amazing pallate of colours.I have coloured her in using Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card and added her to a beautiful russet backing card..I then made the Base card up by using the large Basic Tattered Lace Scalloped circles,and layered with Russet and a brown backing paper from my selection of Tonic papers,These are beautiful and thick and work lovely with this theme.. I then punched a lot of leaves from scrap card using a die I got from Hobbycraft as it is Late and sorting through loads of dies at two in the morning is not my favorite pass time lol ..These I couloured with my SN pens to mirror the lovely Autumn colours and once I added the Topped with 3D glue gel and a stopper I then placed as shown..to finish I added a Bird charm and a twine Bow thingy ..very technical I know lol..but it is four in the morning lol ...Thank you for visiting :)xx

Add a Sentiment .. Jullia Spirri DT Card

Todays pretty image i altered a touch by putting a couple of lines at the neckline to look like she has a jumper on,so I turned her from a summer image to a winter one ..outside the box thinking and I coloured her with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..I coloured her arms in as if she had a long sleeve jumper on and I popped tights under her little socks too....When done I drew around a Sue Wilson Die and added some detail of my own to make it stand out a bit more then mounted her onto some gold card and fussy cut around it to ad a bit of shine around the edge..I then went around the pen and pencil edge with Crafter's Companion new Sparkle pens to give a bit of sparkle ,subtle but pretty.The backing papers I have used are Dovecrafts Krafty Christmas and these were mounted onto craft card..Because I used a deckle edged card I rounded the corners on the one side as I like mine that way as it feels odd to me to do the same on the straight edge too ..The gold edge border is a Crafters Companion Christmas Egability and was used to pull the gold through from the topper ..The Dies for the poinsettias are ..Larger ..Mariane Designs and the small I believe are Britania Dies..The Ivy is  Crafters Companion.. I added a sentiment ,backing with craft card and red pearls to the center of the flowers to finish..Thank you for popping by..I really do appreciate you coming by and your support :)xx
