Mermaid and Octopus..Glitter n Sparkle Weekly Challenge DT Card

Todays card is using a Julia Spiri Image ,I know I am on the team ,but sometimes we have to do the same on other teams too..She has been coloured with Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card. ..The papers are all odds n ends from my scrap pile and the pieces have all been mounted onto craft card,then added to an 8x8 card blank..I have also added a post card from one of my Papermania kits too as I thought it would go well with the theme....One the papers were glued to card template I added the topper using 3D glue gel ..I used some odd flower blooms from my stash that I brought last year and some newer pretty gems to finish and to add a bit of sparkle.. Thank you for visiting :)xx

Holiday Mistletoe Nymph ..613 Avenue Create DT Card

This beautiful image is by Aurora Wings, I do not get many chances to colour her work..this is where I started my journey into Blogging ..I have coloured it in with Polychromos pencils onto Nehnah card..The backing card is cut using one of Tattered Laces Essential dies.I then cut a top section in craft card and covered the bottom with embossed card from a CC Embolishus folder from the Vintage Christmas collection..to which I treated it with Gilding wax to give the worn vintage effect.I did the same to the surrond to the top of the card and the Tonic Snowflake from the Rococo range..When done I added the Snowflakes with 3Dglue gel,a stopper to the bottom and the topper .and to finish I added a few felt flowers left over from last year I brought from Hobbycraft..Thank you for stopping by :)xx

Julia Spiri Add Some Bling DT card

Todays card I have taken a 7x7 card and cut it diagonally..The image
 is one of Julia's latest release.. and I just wanted to do an autumn feel card as the days are drawing in now..I have coloured her on Neenah card with Polychromos pencils..I just love oranges and brown they aleays look so rich . and Must be my favourite colours of allThen cut her out with a Tonic die, and a matching one in craft card ,then used 3D glue gel to mount onto craft card and popped to one side to dry..I then cut and mounted papers from my DCWV Fresh Floral Stack pad onto craft card..then using a thin off cut of craft card I used permanent fix spray glue and covered the strip with Wow fine Glitter..I love this glitter as it covers so well and actually looks shop brought..You know what I mean girls...I then trimmed to size and mounted all the pieces on the card blank. I then once more used 3D glue gel and placed the topper in the desired position .I have just brought a new set of dies from TLace so thought why not so I cut out the fabulous Ava Flower in craft card and used Gilding wax on it to make it look like old metal..and to finish I added the tiniest crystals to the tiny flowers and it looks so pretty and sparkly..It is a shame the pics do not really pick this up ,but I hope you get the general idea..Thank You for visiting,I really do appreciate your support and comments :)xx

Add a Charm ..Glitter n Sparkle Weekly Challenge

Another week and another challenge over at Glitten N Sparkle..This week I have used an image from Bugaboo Stamps,I printed it onto Neenah card and coloured it with Polychromos Pencils.. I cut out the Topper using Tonic Dies,sorry I do not keep bits of paper with dies I store them safe in boxes with Magnetic sheets and enjoy using then ..and buy the ones I like ..But it is easy to find these..The second one in yellow was cut out of Yellow pearlescant card and embossed with one of the Tonic embossing folders.I mounted all my pieces onto black card to give definition and the paper was from a Large pad from DCWV called Fresh Floral Stack...Today I used a 5x7 card blank ..It is an easy design and once I  had stuck down the background paper and the first yellow layer,to which I added a strip of orange spot ribbon, I then added the topper wit 3D glue gel ..A bow and label was made ,the little charm was added at the center of the bow and I finished by adding green pearls..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Same but Different My Besties UK

Hiya its that time again the Design team each take the same image and we all colour and create a card that looks totally different..It is actually to give inspiration half way through the main challenge....Here I have coloured her in as usual with Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card ,I then mounted her onto a black card then a piece of craft card so that she really pops from the card... I then set it aside while I cut papers from Crafter's Companion Moonbeam Meadows Everyday cd If you have them use them is my theory and there are so many pretty papers that we should check on these tools as to what we can use for some cards ..and in the long run it saves buying all those books lol so do try it you will be suprised what is out there ..I cut both the same size then rotated onto each other then trimmed carefully,then added the f aux stitching with a Pitt pen ..I then mounted onto some craft card and before adding to the 8x8 card base I glued some of the unusual lavender ribbon around the card and then glued to the card ..I then whilst it was drying, I created the pretty ribbon bow in the same unusual ribbon.. And then attached the Topper with 3D glue gel .. To finish I added a mixture of Purple and Yellow flowers and a few leaves cut for a prior project behind them..The tag will be added when given to the precipitant as I like to add the names on to make them more personal, that will go in the left hand corner as you look at it ..Thank you for looking :)xx

Starlynn , 613 Avenue Creat DT card

Starlynn Queen of the Sugar Web Fairies is the title of this beautiful stamp from Odball Art,Although some of their work is an acquired taste I must say I love it and have pulled out all the stops with this piece,even though not 100% I could not just finish she took about nine hours to colour ..It is a pity some of the colour is bleached out with lighting to take the pictures..She is coloured using Polychromos pencils on Neenah card..Mounted onto black card stock..All the background papers are stash papers so sorry not got a clue as they are the odds n ends from odd books and papers I brought from cards or commissions over the years.All were mounted onto black card and layed out onto a 8x8 card blank.. I added the topper with 3D glue gel and then started to layer various stars I have colected over the years to the card,it looks quite flat on the picture front on so I have taken several views so you can see what I have done ,it has given a fair bit of depth and in real life is very pretty and is quite shimmery..I fels staying simple with the decoration would not take away from the lovely stamp..I hope you like her as much as I have colouring her ..Thank you for visiting :)xx
