Scrappers Delights Facebook Challenge

I have had fun doing this lovely image ,she is coloured on Neenah card with Polychromos pencils..I decided just to do a section of the girl and make a feature out of her ..I am pleased with the result ,I do not do this often ,but fancied doing something a bit different for a change.I have used First Edition papers and have aged the outer edges on the backing paper  ,I did not want to ink it as I wanted the natural colours to show.The other piece I found a scrap of lace to add to the one side and did my wobbly thing around it ..The topper is backed onto black card and hand fussy cut around ,then added to the card base with 3D glue gel, after sticking all the rest down.To finish I added odd blooms from my stash ,finishing them off in the center with small pink roses ,and added some die cut leaves  to finish..Thanks for popping by :)xx

My Besties Brown and Teal Challenge

Today I have another Bestie girl..It is for the Brown and Teal  Challenge..This is a pretty image but I realised I had actually printed it off a bit big ,but just went ahead and coloured her as I thought she was just too cute lol.. I cut down a 8x8 blank to 14 cm wide so that there would be patterned paper either side of the main image..Somewhere a long time ago I saw a card done similar to this and thought I would give it a go.The center piece is 10 cm ..but you can adjust all these sizes to your own toppers.. This time I used the Topper as a main Feature and Mounted her onto Craft card after colouring her with Polychromos Pencils and shaping the bottom..I then centralised it onto the center of the card .. Then matted and layered my backing paper onto craft card and stuck onto Inside of the card the paper is from a Pad called "The best of Pinkpaislee"..I left for a few minutes to settle ..Coffee time lol..Then came back to it and cut around the topper leaving about half a cm around the sides and the bottom..Lastly I trimmed card level at the top ..and to finish I added to brought blooms on with 3dglue gel and added a sparkle gems in the middle..It is a really different card ,simple to make and really has shelf apeal too.. Thanks for looking :)xx

Scrappers Delights Challenge

I love Scrappers Delights digi stamps ..I do not just love and do the latest ,but like this one I have gone for one of the older designs and what a little stunner this one is too..I have created a rather simple card as I thought I would like to show this lovely Pixie off rather than over load with flowers and fauna.I have used a 7x7 card for thid one..I used a Sheena Douglas Embossing folder for the background ,this is coloured with Faber Castel Gel Sticks ..these are amazing and give a brilliant result as you can see..At sometime in the future I shall do a piece with just them ..,just finding time lol.I mounted this onto Craft card and stuck to card base with Collall all purpose glue.I used a tonice die out of the Verso range for the background cut in Centura Pearl with a hint of gold.This I added with Collall 3D gell to give it a bit of 3d ..The Topper I coloured using Polychromos Pencils ..I drew around an oval die and did a hand cut ,but made it wobbly as I prefere this ,hides faults and looks nice too..I then went all around the edge with a darker green pencil and also blended it a little to take away stark lines..It was then added using the 3D glue and a green spotted bow was popped in one corner and a flower placed on top of it and a dazzling gem in the middle to finish..Thanks for looking :)xx

ps. the flowers on the dress were put on by colouring through a fine stencil :)

Rick St.Dennis 30th Bithday card

This card I have done for my Niece to give to her husband on his Birthday. One of his Pashions is Dragons so what better an image than this one ..After all he is her Knight in Shining Armour.I used a 8x8 card blank and some papers I got from a digi kit I had years ago ,sorry cannot remember the name as I used to put them in generic folders.The image is on Neenah card and coloured with Polychromos Pencils..In total I spent about eight to nine hours on the colouring alone on this one.I cut the image out by using the edge die on one of my Tonic Die sets,then mounted it onto blaxk card..I then cut out freehand as closely folowing the die shape as possible.,and put my squiggly line around the inside to finish..I then matted all the papers with black card and added them to the card using Collall all purpose glue..then layered them where I wished them to be . The insert went in next and I also made a pocket for my Niece to put a poem in of her own , she writes some beautiful poems too..Last thing was to use Collall 3D glue gel to add the main topper ,slightly shape the labels to give depth and add the 30 today sentiment..I am sure he will love this,hope you do too :)xx

Rachelle Anne Miller Birthday Card

Hiya ,have done this pretty little 7x7 card for my Granddaughter.. as it is going through the post I wanted it to travel well so have kept it thin.. I have used the Topper companion ,but the other two images are off a different topper sheet with lots of images on in various sizes..this then worked for me as I did now want to use the usual two extra pictures with the Topper Companion set. I mounted all the toppers onto Craft card and did a lot of faux stitching as you can see on the pics..The backing paper was from the Design set section and worked perfectly with the toppers.and of course so did the insert too as shown...I then added the paper and insert to the craft card and popped them onto and into the card..Collall all purpose is best for this ,wiggle room so you can straighten.Then using 3D Collall glue gel.. I added the topper,small pictures..I used a Small flower punch,cut out some daisy shapes then put in some gold sparkly gems..I am sure Jessica will just love this ..I finished with a hand written name tag..she is going to be five this year.. Thanks for visiting :)xx

Same But Different My Besties

Todays card for My Besties is a Same but different ,if you pop to http://mybestiesuk.blogspot.co.uk/   you will see how the team all do the same image..It is a strange idea,but at the same time it is amazing how people can have a different take on the same image and create such different cards..Mine is coloured in using Polychromos Pencils,I have mounted her onto black card as I think this makes many images just pop..The card I used is a Easel card but instead of folding in half then folding the half in half onto itself I folded it the opposite way which supports a longer topper ,I also prefere this type of easel myself.Thr paper I used is from a paper pad I got from Lidles last year,its very pretty and all the glitter on it is encapsulated..All this was added to Black card and put onto the easel base.I then put my stopper on using 3D glue and a embellishment cut from what was left from the paper that I used to cover the card with, I then added the topper with 3D glue and to finish added 3 small pink roses..I love using dramatic papers and do try to add them int the design instead of covering then as I feel it would be such a shame to do so..Thanks for visiting :)xx
