Many of you will remember these from quite a few years ago.No I am not giving my age away lol...These are Bright ,cheerful and you can see someone you know in a lot of the sweet Characters too.. 





I used one of the lovely new Shaped topper as the focal point for this card mounted it onto cardstock with Collall all purpose glue.I then mounted all my pieces for the background onto the craft card too   and started to add to the card base which is 8x8.The striped layer before I popped it on I put a piece of brown ribbon around off center then added to the others ,then added the topper with Collall 3D glue gel to give a bit of dimention..I then cut out and mounted a sentiment popped it behind the topper on the right then placed gems in the corners ,And added an insert to finish :)x




 This card is made using a Card companion from the cd .I mounted the lovely pink background onto craft card then glued to the card with the all purpose glue..I used Craft Card a lot on these cards as I felt it really suited them. I matted all the other pieces that I had cut from the printout ,Nice and easy too ,then began layering using 3D gel glue to give plenty of depth,added a sentiment and tack and some simple white flowers and gems . To finish I added an insert inside the card  :)x



 This card is made from the lovely Topper Companions.. I mounted the backing paper onto Craft card and added it to the 8x8 card blank with all purpose glue..I then mounted the main topper and the smaller one and added to the card with 3D glue I then Made up the Bow ,a new thing on the cds now and popped in on the smaller topper so it overlapped and united the two pieces together..I then added a sentiment and gems and finally  an insert to the inside :)x

My Besties, Anything goes ,with a Silver

These adorable girls are what first got me into colouring and this is my first of what I hope of many DT post for them .. I have used silver as my background throughout and also coloured her hair silver too . Right from the beginning the lovely image is coloured in using Poly Chromos Pencils on Neenah solar white card .,I outlined the chosen die to go around her and hand cut it out paying attention to the tiny bows at her feet. I then did the same with the silver card as it was about four in the morning and being in a flat ..well you understand..The Tonic die-cut I already had so I coloured with BT2 and BT4 Spectrum Noir Pens to get a slight varied effect then I backed this with silver card too..These pieces were then all glued together with Collall 3D glue and set to one side whilst I started matting and layering my backgrounds up. The two papers both come from a fabulous paper pad by DCWV Fresh Floral Stack.. I mounted these all onto silver card using Collall All Purpose glue, Then added to a cream 8x8 card blank.. To finish I added the topper using Collall 3D glue and the flowers and hand written tag to give dimension ..

Scrappers Delights anything goes with a twist..Favourite Colours

Its Challenge time again and here is my inspiration and it was so much fun too .I just love the beautiful colours so rich and vibrant and of course my favourite colours.. I have used Crafters Companion  Neenah Solar White card, I coloured the Lovely image in with Spectrum Noir pens and coloured pencils,then I fussy cut her out. I then chose three complimentary papers from a DCWV Paper Pad called Fresh Florals Stack. I mounted each onto some green card I got from Lidl last summer. This I then arranged as shown onto the card base which is an 8x8.The smaller piece directly behind the fairy I popped a butterfly edge border for a bit of interest.When all this was done,I then gently shaped the fairy around a thin bottle to give her a bit of shape so when she was placed on the card she would not look flat..Then I added her with £d glue gel Brilliant as it gives a bit of wiggle so if you need minute adjustment it's there.The flowers are cut out of White Centura Pearl with a hint of gold. I have used the new Crafters Companion flowers that have recently come out as I thought they just suited the card nicely.The buds at the end are done by removing two of the petals off the forget-me-not ones and gluing with tacky glue..I added gems and a butterfly cut from a free die from one of the mags last year..Just love free.Thank you for looking :)x

The beautiful image can be found here ... She is a part of a set but you can find individual single pixies here in the shop under fairies and under fantasy too :)x
