Sasayaki Glitter DT card

My first card for this new team..I have known of this lady who has created these lovely images, through FB for a long time and talked to her lately too and she has a lot of passion and I really feel that you will see great things from her in the future..It is a newish challenge blog and her stamps are all new ,she is just lovely..so go visit the blog and her etsy shop and give her some love :)
I have coloured the Girl Picking Flowers onto Neenah card using Polychromos Pencils, I then mounted it onto black card ..The backing papers are from Tonic paper Pads ,but as the fronts fell off ages ago no Idea which on lol..but they are fab value for money and last forever..I chose two different ones for this and mounted them onto black card also..Rather than using dies this time I found this lost ..well stuck to the back of one of the pads black felt die cut mats found these in a pound shop what a bargain I think there were about six in the packet too ..well it was just meant to be ,so I cut out two sections of it and glued to the middle panel and then added the topper with 3D glue gel ..To finish I added a lovely bright yellow spotted ribbon..Thank you for visiting :)xx

Ahoy There... Mitzy Pirate Digital Delights by Louby Lou

This fabulous Pirate from Digital Delights bu Louby Lou is called Mitzy Pirate and boy was he a lot of fun to colour too,Got to be one of my favourite ones ,bring back my life down Cornwall. I used Neenah card and coloured him with polychromes Pencils ,the actual colours are very vibrant and look a little paler with the lighting sorry..These are by fare my favourite colours together and you always get a fresh clean looking design. I mounted this onto black card..Next using a 8x8 card Blank I cut and mounted the beautiful papers..(These I got from a cheap grocery store here in the uk..so keep your eyes open you can find wonderful things anywhere lol )... onto black card, then added to the card ..The paper had a lovely wave pattern on the bottom and I wanted to use this so I cut this out and using 3D glue I added it a little offset to give the waves more 3D and bring them up onto the image..I then cut out some shells and starfish from a different sheet and added to the top corner of the topper to finish the fun sea fantasy,making it a beautiful card for any little man in your life..Thank you for popping by  :)xx

My Besties Uk .. Febuary Same but Different

This is one of this really fun images to colour and you can let your imagination just run wild and tell a story ..I have kept her quite soft this time and coloured her in the more Pastel coloured Polychromos pencils ,but I have also added a variety of colours into the main beautiful petal on her head to give it shape and definition,that's why I love my pencils so much..It is coloured onto Neenah card and backed onto Craft card as are all the backing papers..Today I have used my scrap box as I wanted soft colours and lots of layers ..Its a great way to use up the bits you cut off and could not bear to throw away as they are too pretty.. The Background was off my Digital Design by Do crafts  and has a matching insert..this was actually done for another card and never got used at the time ..I save all my over prints too ..God knows what would happen if my home caught on fire lol..its more like a craft shop lol..Every time I buy something new because I need it ..It's where can I put it lol..Bet your all the same he he ..The Flowers are from Spelbinders Bitsy range as are the leaves and to finish no fairy card is worth it;s salt without bling so I have added unusual for me rather too many pretty pink glittery hearts but I just love it and it does look so pretty too..Thank you for visiting :) xx

Fairy Love ..Morgan's Artworld


Todays card I have created a lovely heart shaped easel card..I have kept the design very simple as I did not want to detract from the main topper..The lovely stamp from Morgans Artworld has been coloured with Prismacolor Pencils and Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card,I have shown the main card twice the top one is lit by normal lighting and the bottom one is from lighting more from the back as it does seem to show the image off a little better ,but casts too much of a shadow ,but as it represents more of the true colour of the image I have included it.. I have used a cream card base.Centura Pearl in a lovely pink..Tattered Lace dies..basic hearts and dotted hearts ..The two smaller hearts on the front I have added SN Sparkle pens too and they have given that extra twinkle and work perfectly fine on the Centura...To finish I added some small pink roses and added the Sparkle pens to them to so they are deeper in colour and twinkle ,and added the little white flowers to finish ..Thank You for taking the time to pop by :) xx

Knitty Kitties Purfect Mum

Hiya ,Todays card is from someone who I won some digis from on a challenge ..Knitty Kitty..Love her stamps so cute and I have decided I can fit some cards in here and there to , so I am in on her very small Design team as she starts up.. The lovely image is coloured with Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card and mounted onto black card..I have not coloured the background as there is writing on the image and it would have become lost.. The beautiful glittered paper that I used is from my stash it came in a pack with just one piece of paper and lots of frames and is hand made paper and nice and thick .This was also mounted onto black card.. I collect all sorts and I think this came from a discount shop a few years ago .Fits nicely with the theme..The green part circles I have cut two circles in different positions and mounted onto black card to match everything else,then I fussy cut it and placed where I wanted it on the card..I then trimmed off the excess,then stuck it to the base card. The Flowers are from Tattered Lace and coloured with SN pens to coordinate..To finish I added som fish scaled gems which have iridescent multi coloured coating ,shows green,but on the pictures look more purple..Must be the different light angles.I then added two crystal hearts to the topper.Thank you for taking the time to visit :)xx

Crafter's Companion A Country Life

This new Cd from Crafters Companion A Country Life features the beautiful artwork of the Talented Morgan Fitzsimons.. As many who follow my blog may already know I am on her design team,but so far you have only seen her fantasy work..This cd gives you a soft ,romantic feel into country life in taking you down country paths to Cottages that would look beautiful on your wall ,or even on a bag or cushion cover ..I have not mastered this skill yet lol ..It is beautifully coloured,there are some new additions,a lovely gift box of small cards with a matching no glue box, Heart shaped easel cards and many more goodies.. I aim to give a little inspiration..I do some easier cards as not everyone is able to do hard cards from day one ,most are simple to do by just looking at them..
The most important thing I do want to say about CD crafting is..Yes it does have a place in the craft room..I started this way ,Ok then my cards were not like they are now ,but remember I have many years experience behind me now.The first scared me and I did not have a clue,so don't be faint hearted ,they are designed so you can use everything to create a beautiful card ,or you can just use the basics and add your own embellishments..It is all about having fun,experimenting ,do lay it out on your card before sticking or gluing down and let your imagination do the rest ..but most of all enjoy what you do :)xx

This is made using the full sized card Decoupage there are quite a few layers on this and it
gives this a lot of depth and makes it look very special 

This is from the Card Companion Section ,using it at full size and done on a 8x8 card base
Simple but really stands out on the shelf 

This is the no glue box and the small cards that go inside ,would make a great gift
or even if you do craft shows a nice table filler 

I made a beautiful Wall hanging from the Fabric Companion,it was to be a bag but did not work
 hence the pretty little gift bag  I made from  cylinder of backing paper of  and folded ends in
.at the bottom and the top folded under to strengthen and added ribbon before
 decorating to match 

This is made from the Card Companion section and I created the round easel from card and added
 co- ordinating paper and a pretty bow to finish

These are just a few of the samples from the CD that I was allocated to make ,but for more inspiration do pop to
