Digital Delights by Louby Lou ..New Release

Hiya this was a really fun card to make..I coloured the lovely image in with my Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card ,then fussy cut it out leavind a small white line around her..I then created the card usinga template of a mitten from Dutch Doo Ba Doo,The outer card is cut from Gold Centura card and the inner card is a paper printed from a Polkadoodles cd I went around the edge of it with a faux stitch on the inside and out of the card... To decorate the mitten I used pretty lace at the bottom and some check ribbon and once I had stuck my image on with 3D glue gel and added the sentiment I added a variety of colours and sizes of punched snowflakes to the card..It is very novel and I was a bit worried when I started as never done anything like this ,but once I got going I was fine ,in fact it was more fun than I have had in making a card for ages as it was outside the box ..Thank you for popping by :) xx

Hiya,For todays lovely new release stamp I have coloured in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..Then I mounted it onto some red Centura Pearl..The background is another one of the beautiful Kanban foiled cards in the collection I brought earlier this year..I have cut what was left of thr red card into strips and placed them to not only break up the pattern of the foiled card ,but to give it the impression of it being a present  with ribbon around it ..The sentiment is one from this yeard First Editions die sets ..I love these sets,you get a good quality with a good selection of useable dies in each set and of course great value for money too..The card has been designed simple to set off the beautiful stamp ..Thank you for visiting :)xx

Morgans Artworld.>Saturday Inspiration

Hiya,for todays card I have for the first time coloured an image twice..I loved this one last year ,so as I am trying to get my cards done for Christmas I take every opportunity to get another done..I have coloured her using Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card..The beautiful papers are from First Editions Guilded Wishes I think its called ,I cannot find the cover at the moment.It has the most sumptuous papers in this collection ,glittered ,foiled and plains .being neutral colours they tend to work with everything...These ones have glittered Snowflakes on them .so rather than mat and layer ,covering them up I decided to design it simply as you can see.the sparkle through the die cuts on your left..I have backed the little figure dies with white card to help them pop out more then gently curled them slightly to give them more depth before adding with 3D glue gel..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Saturday Sketch New DT Card ..Happy Print Club Printables

Hiya for this new DT I have started it is a bit different for me ,First it is using a sketch for the design of the card ,I have never done that ,but it is fun and for my first card the sponsor is Happy Print Club,and they are great for lovely images like this one that I have used today and of course many more for all occasions..
I printed mine several times and decoupaged mine to make it 3D  and popped it onto a pretty lilac slightly oblong card to which I have just added a simple pen outline background to it ,this has kept it very soft and pretty without detracting from the main image.,This was then mounted onto some Purple Centura Pearl..The backing Papers for this card were from Firs Editions Mulberry kissed and these were also mounted onto the same Centura card..The whole card was made from just one sheet of white with a hint of gold Centura pearl,which I folded as you can see in the picture..I dont think the measurements would help as they would be different for every card ,but the box bit at the back I have made at about one and a half inch depth ,this helps the card to stand even with the weight of the topper on it ..But the width and where you pop it is up to you in your own design..Then I added a brace bar across the bottom ,Ideally I would use a small Magnet or even velcro ,that would allow the one end to be detatched and allow the card to fold for posting..If you popped the brace lower you could pop one of those battery lights in and it would look pretty on a Christmas card too ..Thank You for popping by :)xx

Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Reminder

Hiya ..for today's card I used super cute Christmas Penguin ..He is coloured onto Neenah card using Polychromos Pencils. This was then mounted onto Centura Pearl in a nice gold colour as were the backing card and papers.This added a nice softness against the stunning Kanban Christmas card I have used to adorn the front of the card with..I used a Just Rite die ,Stitched banners and rectangles to cut out the penguin and its backing card and I used a First edition Christmas Sentiment die for the sentiment..The snowflakes are from China and I do not know the name of them sorry ,but they are just stunning ..I then used Tonic Nuvo glitter drops on the main image in the corners to add a little sparkle and places some pretty snowflake gems around the card..These are multi coloured and under normal light show more green than blue ..Thank you for visiting :)xx

613 Avenue Create Challenge Card

Hiya ,today's card has a beautiful image on from A Day with Daisies Digi on it ,I love their stamps ,a little different from every one else's ,but they always look special on a card or project. I have coloured it in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..Then cut out with Tattered Lace bascic notched rectangles,I then drew around some faux stitching and mounted it onto a pretty green backing card cut from the same dies but obviously the next size up...For the main card I have used A beautiful patterned Kanban foiled Christmas sheet of card, This was mounted onto the green card too.For the decoration I wanted to keep it reasonably light so I cut a few snowflakes in various sizes using some dies i purchased from Honkong and clustered these here and there..Instead of putting bling in the middle of the snowflakes I used the Tonic Nuvo in the triangle bottom that gives structure snow or balls with a twinkle ..I have added extra picture in which you can click on and see them more closely,and see the card ,which is a really great quality ..Thank you for popping by :)xx
