Add a Sentiment .. Jullia Spirri DT Card

Todays pretty image i altered a touch by putting a couple of lines at the neckline to look like she has a jumper on,so I turned her from a summer image to a winter one ..outside the box thinking and I coloured her with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..I coloured her arms in as if she had a long sleeve jumper on and I popped tights under her little socks too....When done I drew around a Sue Wilson Die and added some detail of my own to make it stand out a bit more then mounted her onto some gold card and fussy cut around it to ad a bit of shine around the edge..I then went around the pen and pencil edge with Crafter's Companion new Sparkle pens to give a bit of sparkle ,subtle but pretty.The backing papers I have used are Dovecrafts Krafty Christmas and these were mounted onto craft card..Because I used a deckle edged card I rounded the corners on the one side as I like mine that way as it feels odd to me to do the same on the straight edge too ..The gold edge border is a Crafters Companion Christmas Egability and was used to pull the gold through from the topper ..The Dies for the poinsettias are ..Larger ..Mariane Designs and the small I believe are Britania Dies..The Ivy is  Crafters Companion.. I added a sentiment ,backing with craft card and red pearls to the center of the flowers to finish..Thank you for popping by..I really do appreciate you coming by and your support :)xx

Add Some Red ..Glitter n Sparkle DT Card

Hiya, this weeks card is using a Morgan Fitzsimons Stamp.. I have coloured it using Polychromos Pencil Neenah card.. All the papers are from Crafter's Companion cd Flights of Fantasy featuring Morgans beautiful artwork and also a full disc just dedicated her digital stamps ,so pop on to their shop here is the link to the cd  Flights of Fantasy by Morgan Fitszimmons ..All the layers are mounted and layered onto CC craft card,and the papers that I have used have come from the co -ordinating papers section ,I did adjust the red background to suit myself on the cd..
After putting the initial red background onto the 8x8 card I then used a smaller oblong piece in a nice green dot to start the matting ,then did a thinner strip and put a thin layer of red through it ,all the layers are matted onto craft card ,but explained so that those who are newer at card making can understand.. The topper was then matted onto Craft card and I cut a piece of the beige linen effect to create a faux frame around the image because it is a very busy one and it got lost on the other papers..I then added the topper to this and then mounted to the card using 3Dglue gel by Collall ,my go to glue as it fixed anything ,but also lifts the topper slightly giving the card a bit more depth..All that was needed was four faux Pearl gems to bring the beige though to the other side ..Label will go on when sent or sold ..Thank you for visiting :)xx

Beautiful Holly.. Glitter n Sparkle Weekly Challenge DT card

The Challenge I was thrilled to colour this stunning image..I have with a lovely embosed piece of red miri card embossed with an embossing folder from Crafters Companion Vintage Christmas, this was then mounted onto craft card  then onto an 8x8 card base..The beautiful Image Holly from Ikes Art at Stitchy Bears Digital Stamps .I used Polychromos onto Neenak card and mounted her onto craft card.. I then cut two sets of CC Diesire snowflakes out and arranged some below the image and some above .I finished off be adding gems that catch the light to the middle of the snowflakes This is one of those cards that looks beautiful on here but even more so in real ,such a shame that using lights to take photos does change the colours slightly,,Thank you for popping by :)xx

Little Girl with Big Poppies 613 Avenue Create Challenge DT card

I just love this quaint little girl ,so reminiscent of old cards of children in their frocks and hats My first thoughts when I did thes was to make it into a Rememberance Sunday for all the fallen soldiers,but the them is Thank you for the Challenge so needed that on the front ..But at the same Time I and many of you would like to say thank you to any soldier or Sailor who gave their lives ..This card will not be sold nor given away as to me it is my Personal respect fot each service man or woman but I will donate the cost I would have recieved for card to the Poppy apeal xx .. Ok I used to dress like that when I was little so I am no spring chicken he he ..I have coloured her using Marco Rafine Pencils on Neenah card,and mounted her onto craft card.The backing papers are from a Tonic Paper pad,I used a full one mounted onto craft card and a smaller full length dot one mounted once more onto craft card,but I edged it with red lace and popped some red satin heart ribbon down either side of the center card..This was thenglued to the backing card..I then added the topper with 3D gel glue and added a double bow in the same ribbon as I used before,finishing it with a single white rose, finally added a handwritten sentiment ..Thank you for popping by :) xx

Glamourous in Gold My Besties UK

Todays new challenge kicks off today with adding gold ..yes I think I think I have got the brief right ermm!!..well was playing and got carried away having fun ..but I actually like the effect and If this lovely lady was real I think she would have aproved of all the flashy gold lol.. She is coloured using Polychromos on Neenah card,then mounted onto Gold card and fussycut as did not have the next die up ..so do not look too close lol..The papers are from a Tonic Paper pad and also added to Gold card..A little tip ..I buy the cheaper kids card from Hobycraft as one it saves money but two because it is not as shiny and has a more satin effect which I actually prefer..You also get twice as much in a pack too.I mpunted the paper on the card and cut two widths in gold card as you will see in one picture..I then put some glitter gold ribbon around the middle of the largest and glued it to the background ..then added a thinner strip..I then popped the topper on wit 3D gel glue and popped on the bow..It still felt empty so I punched some small flowers out with a Hobbycraft Punch and shaped them and added them to the strips left showing , and gave the young lady gem earings  to finish.. Thank you for visiting :)xx

Morgans Artworld Red Witch

Hiya ..Today is my DT card for my Saturday Inspiration at Morgans Artword..I have created an alternative Halloween card..All withes are not green or nasty lol..I have coloured this image onto Neenah card using Polychromos Pencils, I then mounted her onto Black card..Trimmed all around the card with black lace to represent cobwebs. I then put another piece of black card onto the back to help hold the lace into position. Then taking a 7x7 card blank I created an easel card to which I added some backing papers from a Tonic Paper pad and mounted onto black card before gluing into place..I created a stopper and using the same lace and some black ribbone I decorated it before gluing into place..I added a small metalic ribbon bow and a red ribbon rose then glued the topper in position, adding a matching bow..To finish I added a few red faux pearls..Thank you for popping by xx

A Little Bit of Fantasy with Julia Spiri Challenge DT card

Hiya , Todays card is Julia Spiri's lovely little Genie, reminds me of I Dream of Genie that used to be on telly when I was a kid whoops showing my age now lol..I have coloured her with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card and cut her out as I did not want any background ,white or my own behind her.The papers are from a Papermania cd on my Do crafts cd as I remembered this pretty background that I wanted and thought it would be just perfect for this card..All the papers are mounted onto purple card before being glued to the 8x8 card base.On top of the middle layer I used an offcut of the purple card and wraped some lace I found in the bottom of my ribbon box..I then ran a ribbon across the middle and attatched to the paper using Collall 3D glue gel .I then mounted the final piece that was going to hold the image using 3D glue gel.. I then Cut and embossed two half doileys from the Crafters Companion Downton Abbey range in white and coloured with a Tim Holtz Milled Lilac ink pad.. And cut a Purple frame frome one of the offcuts of card,usung one of the ornate frames rom the Downton Abbey range also..Love these dies they are just stunning ..I carefully added gel glue behind these cut pieces and popped them in place as shown.Added the Label,a few flower gems and jewel gems and finally a bow to match the ribbon to finish..Thank you for visiting xx
