Funny and Cute Halloween ..Glitter n Sparkle Weekly Challenge

Had fun with this one too this week..it is my own creation ..I coloured the Sami stamp up in Polychromos Pencils..I just love her and thought shame she has no hat ..so I drew one out on Paper then cut it out in black card,first I drew everything on in white pencil and felt it was not enough so I then went all around it all with my white pen ,put some red and yellow on the background ,placed the cut out witch in place .It looked fine so 3D  gel glued  her into place and cut a strip of grass from an off cut of cordinations in green , drew on some leaves and stalks and popped on some faux pearl flowers to bring the purple down.. I then popped a small stand onto the back so it will stand on its own..Thank you for visiting my blog xx

Create your own challenge ...613 Avenue Create DT Card

This is one of my Favourite Morgan Fitzsimmons images ,it is so pretty and has so much detail too..I have coloured her with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card.. I found the last two sheets oth this paper which went perfectly with this topper so I popped it through a Tonic embossing folder to give texture,mounted it onto craft card..Then cut a thinner strip mounted this and added some pretty lace from my stash and glued it ontobase... The flowers are Spelbinders Bitsie Blossoms 6 and I have also used CC Die sire ivy dies and the leaf dies from the flowers..I do use a lot of craft card,it is recycled and it does look really lovely on most cards and does not take your eyes off what you are trying to focus on ..but most of all it is recycledThank You for visiting xx

Thinking outside the box with ... Same But Different My Besties UK

This is the time of the month we all use the same stamp on the team..but I thought hmm something different so I got my pencil out and drew and inked two funny Ghosts and a couple of Gravestones and coloured the stamp in with blacks and oranges .. The Stamp is coloured with Polychromos on Neenah card..The papers are from my do crafts Papermania capsule on Do crafts Digital and just perfect for this card and pretty too ..All are mounted onto black card  and glued onto an 8x8 card..I then glued on the ghosts and the gravestones ,then added the Bestie with 3D glue gel to give a bit more depth.. and added the famous saying onto a piece of off cut black card and also added with the 3D glue gel..Hope you like my bit of fun I loved making this one ,Thanks for visiting xx

My First Saturday Card Inspiration for Morgan Fitzsimmons Artworld

I first came across Morgan's stamps when Crafter's Companion brought out their cd Flights of Fantasy..Well I just love her work and was thrilled to be asked as a guest designer when I won with my Pink Dragon a while ago..To feel dissapointed as with my health problems affecting my eyes..I can colour ,but sitting in front of Pc was a problem as affected my vision ..I could not be on team as you need to comment ..But they found a space for me I have a Saturday spot every fortnight so here is my first yippee..This Beautiful lady is coloured using Polychromos onto Neenah card..I have used a Tattered Lace center stepper die for the card ,which saves me folding and pain ..,The papers are from a Do Crafts capsule I have on my  Digital designer by them..all are mounted onto craft card..I love craft card ,it is my new gold ..It understates some papers and allows them to shine and allows others to fit nicely as if they were meant to be.. After all the Matting and layering I decorated with CC Diesire Ivy die and with Spellbinders Bitty blossoms 6 my new go to flower as they are just a nice size ..The actual topper is cut from one of the Spellbinder label dies but sorry I cannot remember which... You will note a lot of my cards do not have tags on..this is because I label them when they are given away or sold as I personalise most of mine ..Thank you for visiting I really do appreciate you taking the time .Hugs xx

Something Old From Your Stash ..Julia Spiri Stamps

Todays lovely image from Julia Spiri is coloured using Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card.. My something old from my stash is the last bits of off cuts of paper from my Hobbycraft pad from about two yrs ago ,the front has long since gone and there are just a couple of full papers and odd off cuts,these being some of them...I mounted them all onto craft card and added a die cut border from CC Downton Abbey , as the border so pretty ..Once in place I cut out two of the smaller flowers  from my Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms 6 ,just got these and already love them ..I used a free paper pad from a magazine for the flowers and top of the butterfly..the leaves and underside of the butterfly are cut from cor dinations cardstock and to finish I added some tiny crystals to add a touch of sparkle ..Thank you for visiting :)xx

Add Some Pink..Glitter n Sparkle Weekly Challenge DT Card

This week I have had the pleasure of colouring my very first Lemon Shortbread digi stamp Its a slightly different Halloween card ..The image is definately a Halloweene Fairy ,but I felt I wanted to do a bit of a different twist to the card after all if we all did the same ,why have the fun of the challenged lol  ..Unfortunately it has not turned out quite like I wanted it too ,I chose Purple as the dress colour and wish I had not It tends to do funny,it did it once before and I forgot grrr!!.. Anyway she is coloured in Polychromos on Neenah card and all the papers are from a pad I got from Liddl last year,and these have encapuslated glitter on them which adds a pretty shimmer..I have mounted all of these onto craft card and my coloured piece.The main papers have all been added to the 8x8 card base with Collall all purpose glue and the topper by 3D Collall gel glue..The flowers are cut from Pink Centura Pearl with Dies from Sue Wilson Collection called Cornflowers ,but the leaves are from a punch from Hobycraft .I also added some pearls and some lace to the brown spotted paper before mounting it too ..Thank you for visiting :)xx

Shaped card ..My Besties Uk DT Card

I have had loads of fun creating this today....The beautiful Mermaid is coloured on Neenah card using a cheap pencil from Hong Kong that a friend of mine had got,I brought some for my Granddaughter ,but I think they will stay with me ..They are Marco Rafine coloured Pencils,oil based and sold in a set of 72..Yes they are nice to use.. Not as good as my Polychromos but I think if I remember I paid £12 or so for them and they are well worth the money,so for a beginner who wants to try pencils a great start as they are really creamy and layer really good.
This project is a wall hanging to sit next to my PC and replace a very weary one I did about two years ago..I have used Tonic Celtic Dream Dies and a Tattered Lace fancy circles for the blue outer ring.. I cut them out in Centura Pearl in Pink,Blue and Beige..And the flowers and leaves are Crafter's Companion wild briar from Sheena's collection.. A couple of the rings have been hand cut to get the next colour in ,but most by my E-Bosser.. I have if you see the last picture added the layers by using 3d Glue gel by Collall ,and used it to apply the flowers and the gems too..I hope you like it ..thank you for visiting
