My Besties Uk Dt card

Hiya ,Today I am a little sad as I have got my last two Besties for you on today as I have stood down from the team to do some different work,so hopefully you will see some different designers work being showcased on my blog in the future ..However I have loved being on the team and I know the team is a strong  one so please keep showing your support ,Thank you :)
Todays card I have used my usual Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card..I cut the image out first by hand so I had details sticking out from the circle ,then using a basic die I then cut out a larger circle in craft card and glued it behind her.I used Papers from Tonic Mid Summer Morning Paper pad,these were also backed onto craft card ..I have also added white stitching around the polka dot piece using a white gel pen too as it gives more interest..The flower die I used is from Crafter's Companion and its from Sheenas Perfect Partners ,I think it is a wild rose from her first ones she made..To finish I added some pretty incandescent gems to the center of the flowers and some pink gem flowers to the opposite side ..Thank you for visiting :)xx

*Please note the little bird houses and the little bird are my addition and are not a part of the stamp*

New Release Sasayaki Glitter

Hiya ..Well it has been a really busy few days for Sasayaki Glitter with celebrations and a lovely freebie giveaway on FB ..now it is time for the fabulous New Release ..I have chosen Butterfly Kitty but done her in a mixture of colours ,..well she is magical after all...I have coloured her with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card,mounted her onto craft card as were the backing papers..With this card I used a Tonic Pad called Simply Blossoms..I played with different layers in choosing four different papers ..I think it just works so nice with this stamp ,I did not colour the background as I wanted to let the image stand out more and felt it would be lost with one. I used some red blooms I have had for absolutely years and as it was running late I thought ahh! I wonder? ..Well to cut the story short at two in the morning you would pick a flower from the garden rather than haul the Machine out lol!..Well I was pleasantly surprised and after layering it up it actually looks fab,the angle I took the photos make it look droopy sorry its not lol! Any way I popped a white pearl gem in the center and added three red hearts to the left of the card to finish..Thank you for visiting :)xx

Guest Designer Card Besties Australia

Hiya I just love this little one sitting on an upturned cup..so I had to use her for the Guest Designer post..I have coloured her with Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card..Mounted her onto Craft card and all my papers too ..I use craft card a lot to me it like gold goes with anything ,but it's recycled so also doing a bit for the environment too .The two back papers are from a GCD Studio Paper pad called Melody Ross Designs this one being the Lydia Collection..The top polka dot piece is an off cut from my Tonic paper pads ..I have used a pitt pen to do squiggly lines around that and also tied a piece of burlap ribbon around it and put a bow on it of the same ribbon ..Just love this got a load for next to nothing off ebay,smells so nice too.I used pre-made flowers to decorate the bow ,then added a few bright pink faux pearl gems to finish..Thank you for popping by : ) xx.

Morgansartworld Saturday Inspiration Card

Hiya..I have coloured this beautiful image today with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah Card.. I then cut a Frame in White Centura Pearl and put it over the image to made it look as though it is 3d by using Collall 3D glue gel..I used a Crafter's Companion Rose design folder onto some pink Centura pearl card ,cut it to size and mounted onto some white Centura Pearl left over from the circle frame then stuck the topper on the top of this.I then used a Tonic pearlin a bottle glitter drop thing ,sorry my first time and they are a bit uneven but still it gives a bit of texture.I then used paper from CC An English Country Garden Paper pad ,These papers are really thick and feel beautiful.I mounted this onto Pink Centura Pearl..Once I added the panel onto the background I then cut some of Tonic Magnolia Flora Dies in White Centura Pearl and in Purple Centura Pearl,this brings out the purple of the older fairies dress,I then added these once shaped with 3D glue gel I tend to use this both in creating in between the petals and also to glue them down with because I find it gives the flowers a more natural look ,Ok not so much these ones but mostly on more natural looking flowers..To finish I then added multi faux pearls in a pink to the centers of the flowers and some others to the card ..Thank you for popping by :) xx

Knitty Kitty DT Card.. New Release

Hiya..Today's card ids another first for me today..I have coloured this lovely image in with my new set of Conte a Paris Pastel Pencils..I brought these for doing my backgrounds on my work ,but got carried away once I started and just carried on with them..I used Neenah card and was not sure if it would be ok,but it was fine..They blended fabulous using just a stumpy..I used pastels at school and I remember how dirty a job it was ,but now with pencils and stumpy it is so clean..One thing though ,you do need to work from the top and slowly work your way down to prevent any smudging and a piece of paper is handy if you need to go over anything too ..All in all , a fun project, and I think I will do again but try different papers ,so if you fancy trying pastels have a go its great fun..Don't forget you have to fix the Pastels ..I used the old trick of using Hairspray. .
For the background Papers I used Tonic Studios Woodland Walk,These were backed onto black card as was the completed topper.For the decoration I have cut some of the smaller Spellbinder Labels 48  dies out i gold and placed them as shown on the card ..and on one of the larger of the two I cut it in white and wrote Fore!! You on it and did my wriggle thing around it to decorate..Thank you for popping by :) xx

Digital Delights by Louby Lou

Hiya ,This was a lovely project to do I coloured the pretty image with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..I then fussy cut it out and popped to one side..Then I created the card using one of the Duch Doo Ba Doo stencil shapes..and cut it out getting smaller and smaller first with outside deep blue/turquoise card,then white ,Tonic papers from Simply Blossoms for the final two,then around the yellow dotted paper I added faux stitching and a branch to which I added the two pretty die cut birdcages cut from the Kimono range at Crafter's Companion..I added the pretty image with 3D gell glue and punched out a lot of medium sized x-cut punched flowers..I sprinkled these along the branch and on the floor and popped some tiny gems into the centers of them..Its very time consuming doing a project like this as the card had to be hand cut ,but it does give you an awful lot of satisfaction when its finished lol!..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Sasayaki Glitter Kid with Kite

This has been a real labour of love as it is such a sweet image..The image comes from the store with just the bou in the cart with the kite..The background is my own work.. I have coloured him in with Polychromos pencils onto Neenah card ,He was then cut to size and mounted onto black card..The background papers are from First Edition Up,Up and away and go so nicely with this card ,being cute but not pretty ,just perfect for a little fella. All these were also mounted onto black card too..I added the topper with 3D gel glue to give a bit of depth and kept the decoration simple as it was for a boys card with some pretty gems I got from Ebay ..these remind me of the Spangle sweets that you could buy when I was a kid.. Yep I am older than 21 lol!..All the dots and squiggles were added with a black medium Pitt pen..as with many of my cards there is a space left for a sentiment and the child's name or age too ..Thank you for popping by :)xx
