Inky Impressions .. Anything goes

I chose this beautiful image of the fairy as I thought a bit of fantasy and brightness amongst all the fall and winter was needed..she is very pretty..I coloured her with SN pencils and chalked in the background as I like the softer look it gives.. The papers were free from a mag this month and I felt fit the image beautifully ..I also like to use free stuff when I can helps the budget lol., means I can spend it on something else :) To finish off I used craft card and also cut two Tattered Lace corners out in it too ..then I used some blooms to finish,.It has come out pretty ,would be nice for grown up or child ..hope you like it too :) xx

Scrappers Delights Anything goes ..No designer paper

Have had lots of fun with this one ..Since I have started my DT with Scrappers Delights I have always liked this cheeky chap and now I have a reason to use him.. The background is created with a Seena Douglas embossing folder (from Crafter's Companion) I used Tim Holtz ink pads to create the rich colours..When I got the effect I wanted I mounted it onto craft card as wanted to keep this all really earthy..The lovely image is coloured using SN pencils and they have blended beautifully giving the outfit he is wearing a fall feel with all the colours.Using the craft card again I cut the beautiful backing piece out ,it is an old Marriane die I have had for years ..I finished with Sue Wilsons Poinsettia as it just well Looks great ..Thanks for looking ..You will find the image here

Sneak Peek Moonbeam Meadow Crafter's Companion

The first time I saw these little creatures it was love at first sight..Introducing Moonbeam Meadow by Crafter's Companion. For this lovely card I used an A4 sheet I then scored at 1.5 inches and 3.00 inches ,the rest of the card was folded in half.this was my base quick and simple. I then ran a piece of card through a Sheena Douglas A4 folder, it has leaves all over it ..Using all of the colours in the topper I then started adding them over the card until I felt it looked how I wanted it to look.Then using Spray and Sparkle I took it outside and gave it a quick spray of the Pearl Diamond one, this gave it a lovely sheen. The stamp was coloured with SN pencils as follows

Mushroom 080,024,089,084,090

Mice 104,107,087,035,005

Grass 058,047

I then ran another sheet through the embossing folder and this time I cut the leaves out and coloured then for the leaves to add to the flowers, I then added the layered card to base and layered the stamp to match ,popped the flowers and leaves on and added the sentiment from the stamp set ..Thanks for Visiting :)x

Scrappers Delights New Release

This is stunning .. Masquerade the theme..Rich bright colours..I chose to colour her red ..She is coloured with SN pens and pencils on Neenah card..the background I created using artist chalks and gently rubbing through a doily, I chose chalks as they are softer than inks.. I printed her a bit larger than usual ,not thinking and once coloured realised she would almost fill the card..I played around with a few flowers ,ribbons etc ..but to be honest I felt she was too beautiful to adorn so mounted her onto satin board and popped her onto an 8x8 card base .. hope you like here as much as I enjoyed colouring her  :)x

which added to the sparkle of the lovely winter themed card..It was finished with punched snowflakes and those stick on sparkles you can get from craft shops ..It could be used as either a Christmas Card or a Winter Birthday.. Thank you for visiting xx

Ppinkydolls I Love Raspberry Ripple

I used beautiful encapsulated glitter papers to create the background of this card I have titled it I Love Raspberry Ripple as that's what it reminds me of with a touch of chocky sauce lol..I matted and layered them onto some very bright pink card.The corner piece is off another piece of card,too pretty to cover ,so I carefully cut around it and then layered it onto pink to match the rest.This one however was stuck down using foam pads to give a bit of depth. The beautiful doll I have spent approximately five hours colouring in with SN pencils as I wanted to give a soft dreamy effect..I then cut her out,gently bent her and stuck her to the card using pinflair glue,to add a bit of depth. Then I added the tad ,punched out some tiny flowers and scattered them around the card.. I think she is very pretty and loved colouring her..You will find her work on Etsy..Thanks for visiting  :) x

Mo Manning boy on Xbox

This lovely boys card was coloured using a beautiful image From Mo Manning's Digital Pencil I did one last month with my own work for a younger boy ,but this one is for one a few years older. The skin and hair are coloured using SN pens and the rest is coloured in using SN pencils ..I much more prefer the pencils as I feel that they are much more receptive to what I want in my colouring, expecially with the clothes...

I matted him onto Black card to showcase him to his best... The backing papers are from my stash and have all been mounted onto black cardstock too ,and stuck down using double sided tape. I then popped foam pads behind the boy topper and positioned him and added the sentiments to finish..The insert matches the background paper.. Thank you for taking the time to visit x

PPinky dolls

Ppinky Dolls have just come to FB these are so beautifully haunting little girls,just lend themselves to pencil colouring which I did with this image. They are an absolute joy to colour and lovely to watch come to life as the colour went on..I use SN pencils and blend them with a paper stumpy and zest pencil blend..I like this one as it smells like lemons.

I used a Tonic die to cut her out and went around the edge with the same pencils and the very edge with TIm Holtz Broken China.. The background Papers are from a pad from Hobbycraft  called Springtime collection,their own make..The blue one I used an ageing tool on ,then the purple I did the edge with the Tonic Punch Twisted Twine, the white is another Tonic Punch,sorry no name on this one.. I matted them all together edging blue with Broken China Ink and Purple with Seedless Preserved also Tim Holtz.. Put the Topper on with foam pads . Then I cut out the flowers using a Die from Heartfelt Creations I believe is Sunburst flowers..I brought this as it goes with their poinsettias , but looks so lovely on here ..I always shape my flowers using a ball tool and foam mat this gives a lovely 3D effect There is to be a label above the flowers but as it is named I did not want to pop it on sorry .. thanks for visiting x

The Delightful image which is Baby Boo Balloon   I coloured her in using my SN pens and pencils,and just finishing with a HB pencil.The background papers are from Lidle, and the shaped backing paper was cut out using one of the new Dutch Doobadoo Stencils they have quite a few shapes ,you can either use them like this or you can use them to cut out a shaped card. . I then cut out an oval by Tonic called Romantic vine tied a ribbon Coloured with pens to co-ordinate) around shaped background popped the oval which I also coloured to co- ordinated with the image,behind the ribbon..Popped bow in place using Collal Gel, then using foam pads and Collal Gel gently Shaped Baby Boo to give her more of a 3d aspect and popped her in place.The white flowers are cut on my silhouette, as were the leaves,popped on various pink buttons .It really looks pretty too...Please come on over and join in our challenge and have some fun.

First Christmas Card (Honourable Mention )

My entry into Christmas in July on the Aurora Wings ..I have used the lovely Poinsettia nymph to make my very first Christmas Card this year..It may yet have to be shared around ..so wait and see if you get a card or photo copy lol..I decided that I wanted to keep the background simple so I used a paper of one of my Christmas Do-crafts digital cd's, layered and mounted the paper ,then I coloured the image in using my SN pens and pencils to colour it in and just finished off with a simple hb pencil ..I then gently shaped the nymph after cutting it out carefully and mounted it using double sided foam pads..Simple yet extremely beautiful..Mitzi who is Aurora wings does some of the most beautiful work I just love her designs ..Thanks for looking x

Enchanting Girly Girl Scrappers Delights Fairy Card

https://www.facebook.com/events/694291413965569/709298399131537/?notif_t=plan_mall_activity

This is one of the beautiful Scrappers Delights  Pixie Corner set of Digi Stamps, it is a  group of three beautiful pixies, and also comes with some background imagery too..I chose this pixie as I just fell in love with her ,she has been coloured very gently with a mixture of SN pens and Pencils,There is more pencil work on this image than on most of my work as I wanted her to look very ethereal, and the colouring soft.. I then popped just a dusting of glitter on her wings , to make them look magical.. To finish her I have used some 6x6 pink patterned paper I found in my stash..I have more stash than I need got to stop saving  just in case..glad I saved this though)I popped half a doily either side of this before adding to the green base. The green being from my stash too..I inked around the edges of both with Tim Holtz Old Paper distressed ink and distressed the green to give it vintage feel.. I then popped in some palest pink paper  roses I brought from the Range, a few swirls and leaves

East Wings Floral Kiss

This is such a stunning image from East Winds I absolutly love the themes of their digi stamps they suit me down to the ground lol.. This on is called Floral Kiss but it is well worth going to their shop on etsy and pop in east winds in the search ..they are absolutely great and they have blogs which you can enter ,challenges  as well.The image is coloured with SN pens and pencils ,I use both to give more richness to the finished image , to me this looks right, without the pencils it feels flat but this is me ...The beautiful backing paper that I put the image on is from a paper pack I got from Liddles when they had a craft thingy on and they are really yummy and has encapsulated glitter on them. Because of this I did not want to cover up much more than necessary ,so popped a few of the Sue Wilson leaves on, in white and some small pink flowers in the same card as I used in the layering of the image ,it has a nice sateen finish ..it comes from my stash forgot I had it too ..lol..Thanks for taking time to visit x

Sassy Cheryl's Welcome Digi Card

I was wandering as you do on Facebook and found someones card with one of these digi's on and it was love at first sight . They are so charming little people who just grab your heart and remind you of your own kids as they were growing up. Even reminded me of some of the things that I got up to lol ..needless to say I spent quite some time looking through them . Main problem was which one to get ..Problem was solved when I was on their Facebook page and the lovely artist was giving this away as a freebie for a limited time, so I doubt it is still there sorry ,but you can just look at mine or go to Sassy Cheryl's Neighbourhood  on Facebook.. You could also head on over to www.sassycherylsstamps.com to see the full collection including Boys and Christmas ..There are so many you just keep going ooh and ahhh..

Right now onto my card

The background papers are from my stash and the lovely blue cardstock used for layering was from my bargain at Lidls ..You have to save money so you can spend on important things like new pens or new machines to play with lol.I used a Tonic punch to cut the border trim on the left hand side this was called the Beautiful Bramble Border.. nice and easy to use and a nice clean cut too. I mounted and layered the card as you can see this is replicated on the inside too as it finishes the card off I just have to add the verse.I then used flowers from my stash ..I had already done my topper which I shall describe now.. I coloured her in using SN pens and pencils, when finished I did not want to leave it square so drew around a die and hand cut the spike design around her ..still feeling not quite right I carefully used the same colour pen as her jacket to go around the edges and then using a fine pen then put tiny stitching around to finish ..It add a nice point of interest and breaks the squareness of the card and the layering.. Hope you  like it and Thanks for visiting :)

Pink Romantic Wedding Card

Well been suffering from card makers block with this one ..don't ask why I have not got a clue,I loved the papers I got these from Liddls they are beautiful and have encapsulated glitter all over the one side and plain on the other..I used the glitter side of course ..Bling is best,, The stamp is one that I brought ages ago and cannot remember who makes it sorry ..Colours with SN pens and pencils. It sat for a day or two on the shelf and it was not until I put the flowers on that it all came together and is actually a very graceful card..My Grandsons mate ordered this from me..lol..talk about kids bragging..Bless him I love him loads.. I am pleased with it now , thanks for visiting x

This little boy came about as I could not find a boy suitable for a nine year old ,so sat and played with the old pencil and he popped out.. I coloured him in with SN pens and pencils and touched the edges with blue ink to finish..then layered him onto lovely blue card got cheap from Lidls ..yep always go for a bargain as crafting is dear and you can find loads if you look :)..I do lots of digi crafting and have lots of discs and this is where these papers come from ..to mixed to name all but the background if I remember is off a docrafts vintage male cd..That I ran through the new vintage floral linen embosing folder and it gave a bit of texture ..cut and layered papers for flaggy things ..now..It origionally was Different but..stuck it sideways..Yep we all dread it I always double check but not this time I was tired.. Hand on way to bin then Think..Yep got it all of without spoiling topper...glue on background but ..Ripped paper ,stuck it down popped topper on added buttons..went to bed thinking well I will re-do in morning..Got Up and...WOW AWSOME..it looked fab and popped off shelf..Chris another Job well done ..You really

Crafter's Companion Cards

These are a selection of my recent Crafters Companion Cards..The first one in the frame is from the new Halcyon Days cd..It was lovely and easy to make ,the images throughout were beautiful ,I added a variety of flowers from my stash to finish..Had well over a hundred likes was thrilled on the Facebook group . The second Pink one is from the new Vintage Floral..all I can say about this kit is WoW.. I used one of the 8x8 embossing folders for the background printed a ribon layered it with gold voil ribbon so you could still see the paper one under it then put some lace under it..the whole background is very touchy feely.I found the old advert from some vintage images on google and added a few flowers to it using the original leaves as the greenery. then popped on all the other elements I printed off the cd ..I Then used one of the lovely papers as an insert inside the card . The third one which is the round easel card ,I made for a Challenge ..got no where never mind.. The easel is an unusual twist as it is twisted at an angle instead of the normal straight on..After all the matting and layering I created the stop by hand cutting the little bat out ,scoring it into shape and made the little ball drew on the lines then used toothpicks for the stick things..It never fails to amaze me how knowledgeable I am to the wonderful sports games that men play lol NOT..This was made from the Makey Bakey cd x

Seaside villiage by Lapashe

This was a really rush rush card ..found out about six o'clock the night before that this card was needed and although I knew my friend was coming this weed I was under the impression it was on wed or thurs ..oh well.. The main image is from my lapashe cd..there are some lovely scenes on there I like them as they are very generic and they are so crisp and sharp.I decoupaged the image about four layers and most of it is at the front on the boats..In real life it was stunning ,but had to take pic at night sorry..Backing paper was all from stash .. The shells I Googled good old Google lol.. I felt it needed something more, they are actually shaped too which you cannot really see from the picture.. She loved it and I am sure her dad will too..Just two more Dad Day cards to go ..phew x

Happy Birthday Jake

Today is my Grandsons Birthday .. 15 ,where have all these years flown , I used to look down at him,now he looks down at me lol.Just love him to bits . This card I made for him it is hand drawn and inked by myself onto Crafters Companion Neenah card , last piece too got to get some more . I then coloured it in using SN pens and pencils..The pencils giving it much more depth..This is so like him ,he comes in takes over the chair and TV and he is happy as can be ,no one else sits on his chair hehe ...The papers are from my stash,and I have layered them onto black card it helps to make the papers pop and lift the whole card.. I hope you like it as much as my Grandson did x

Aurora Shimmer Butterfly

I was going to enter the monthly challenge unfortunately on this instance I am not knowledgable enough on their link system to be able to go into it ..but I will get there  .. It is only because I am new to Blogs .

I have coloured the beautiful image using my SN pens and pencils..The Dies in the background are Tonic and the paper is a free paper that came with a craft magazine,unfortunately I do not remember which one as it was some time ago..The papers are  foiled and I did not want to hide them so I put the frame and image behind them and built them up like a decoupage then I cut a lot of punched flowers and placed them on the top to give the card more depth and texture too .. 

Thank you for visiting and I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it xx

Gardening Beautie

Another beautiful Sherri Baldi Digi.. Loved this one as soon as it came out ,so off to the shop I went lol..She is coloured in with my SN pens and pencils..I added the little bit of garden at the background ,it is not a stamp it is my own art work .I mounted and layered her onto black cardstock as I think it showcases the digis off beautifully...The background paper is a Lilli of the Valley( Nit Wits)  paper pack called Bonnets and bows.The cut out embellishments on the backgrounds and the butterfly are cut files of the Silhouette Online Store.Flower embellishments are from my stash ..Thank you for visiting x

Tammi Buchaneer Saturated Canary

Well after my last card I felt quite humbled as I am in a group on Facebook called Card Crafters Uk and I put the previous card on in there and to my suprise I had 130 likes from it..Boy was I amazed... Right .Todays card is an image which was a freebie from Saturated Canary ,who's group I am also in.. Her name is Tammie Buckaneer, so I kept with the sea faring theme throughout even with fluffy flowers a bit like sea urchins..lol.. She is coloured in SN pens and pencils. I have also coloured the embelishments so that they match with the main image.. I matted and layered using black card and craft card.. The card itself is an experiment for me as I have never done one before ,it is a tent card I made the measurements up as I went along, but next time I really must make the gusset a bit wider.The doiley at the back is a Tattered Lace die to which I cut it up to spread it along the top of the topper..One last thing ,I have been asked a few times where I got the wood stamp from..I did not I drew it on to give her some grounding..Thanks for visiting :)

Purple Flutter-bye Kisses

This is my entry for the Sherri Baldi UK monthly challenge ..the theme is PURPLE.. I have called this creation Bows n Roses.. It has taken me two days to create . Firstly I coloured her in with Spectrum Noir

Pens and Pencils..( I will not go into all the numbers I never read them ) I went right through the purple and lavender range.. I am pleased with her as I love her because she is a bit like me messy lol..but that is as far as it goes  grrr!!.. The background paper is off one of the Papermania Capsule collection cd's I have , which is mounted onto black..I have used a Tattered Lace die,cut in half down the one side..Just had these too...WOW!!! they are amazing ,they needed no poking pushing or pulling they just pop out ..got to get some more of these .On the other side I have used a heart Tattered lace die over an Urban stamp Postcard stamp..Which I paid a fiver for and went to the Range and found it there for three quid...well did my mouth drop.. note to self ..let fingers do walking hehe..I then finished it of with some leaves from my stash and cut some roses ,rolled them and stuck them on..Because I wanted her to really be the main feature I dis not want to distract with fluff and glitter ..I think the image speakes for itself..Got to make a box for this on ..gone over the edge ..ohhh.. well ..Shes worth it .

Rugby Lapashe

For this on it was a bit of a rush and luckily I have one of the La Pashe cd's..I did not use the backgrounds as I find them very limited ,so I decided to chose on from many I have on my pc ...I changed it to blue as it looked better with the picture and made it pop more and I wanted to use the green plain card from my stash to add to the background layering.. As normal did not use the set decoupage so I chose to enlarge the original slightly and print it off six times to give it a lot of depth..It worked Wonderfully and it looks as if they are popping of the page..Good result for me and a Happy Son -in-Law who asked me to make it for a mate at work.. Why are men's cards always so boring, but at least this one was not YET ANOTHER Football card lol ..

Tatty Twinkles Stamped card

I am Proud of this card. It is the first one that I have ever completely done with stamps.. I have just entered it into the Polka Doodles..Got to get some more of these lovely stamps Because I have Arthritis I tend to steer away from things that put too much pressure on my fingers ,But I have found as long as I press evenly and leave a few seconds it works fine and I get a brilliant image..Secret ..PATIENCE and you CAN do thing just look at it another way.. I wanted this nice and bright and used cardstock from a pad from Hobbycraft called Spring time, their own make too was a good price as well great as it means I can craft in the early hours without the printer..this is from the Twinkle and Tatters range ..But She is so pretty ..Coloured her in with Spectrumnoir Pens and Pencils.. Hope you love her too :)
