A Card for the Aurora Wings "No Lines Challenge"

Good Morning fellow Crafters, it looks like another beautiful day again the sun is out and its still quite warm, our dog loves the early morning sunshine and here she is sitting by the back gate taking in the rays.

Mind you she always runs in to welcome me when I come down in the morning then runs outside yet again to enjoy it.
Todays card has been created with such a lot of difficulty I tried twice with the Fushia Sprite but the dark colours were difficult to lay without the lines they kept going over the edge and looked awful so in the bin they went, and I thought I would try something a little lighter and this "Dandelion" Sprite is the result.
I took her into My Craft Studio and faded out the lines printed it and coloured it with my copic pens, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Die Labels No.34 to cut it out and a Fancy one for the mount from the same Die shape our of green card.
The card is a 6.50"x 6.50" and the first mount is green card, the paper I created myself with Phil Martins "Dandelion Whispers" background stamp by using clear inkpad and details embossing powder and used the heat gun to set it, afterwards I used yellow mica powder and rubbed it all over the embossed background and rubbed of the excess.
I then stuck it to the base mount and cut a 5" square green card and with a Dandelion Embossing Folder from Crafters Companion Embossalicious range and ran it through my ebosser. I then placed this onto of the first layer and wrapped a piece of green net ribbon around the middle and attached it to the back of the first mount. I then placed my mounted image in the center of the middle mount.
To finish of I diecut three Dandelions with the Tattered Lace Die and placed them around the mounted image in the center.

Aurora Wings "Butterfly" Challenge

Good Afternoon, well today has been beautiful I was wondering if it might happen as we had a fabulous lightening storm last night and I watched it through the living room window for quite awhile. Anyway the poor dog had a short walk this afternoon and found it just to much for her little feet so we cut it short and came home again so I could get this card finished.
I started it a week ago and didnt get very far as I had other things to sort out and as you can see I have put those behind and got on to finishing it, its one of the gorgeous Aurora Wings images and you will find her here, please do go and visit the website as she is such a talented lady and really does create beautiful images so you can play with them.
I printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used a Tonic die to cut her out and a scalloped one for the mount, the leaf border is yet another of the Tonic dies and I have placed it on top of the mounted image.
The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first mount of lilac card and the paper is one from Nitwits and I have then placed on top and used a piece of the same lilac card and ran it through my ebosser with a butterfly embossing folder. And of course this is my favourite colour choice so I love to use it on my cards.
On top I have placed a strip of web ribbon and another of Satin and then tucked behind the first mount. I then stuck my image in the middle and the last flourish is the butterfly from Tattered Lace which I folded and stuck in the top left hand corner.

A Card for the Aurora Wings Monotone Challenge

Good Afternoon Crafters, well I hope you are looking forward to the weekend, I would be happy if the weather improves its so changeable at the moment, yesterday was fabulous and today its pouring of rain and its quite chilly, roll on Summer and hopefully a nicer one that last years.
Todays card is for Aurora Wings "Monotone" Challenge and I have used this "Easter Lily" image though I have decided to use it as a Madonna Lily as this is one of my most favourite flowers, I love to buy a bunch from the supermarket and have them in my front room the smell is just heavenly as they come out. Anyway to get back to my card I have colored the image with my copic pens and then used on of my Nestabilitie Dies to cut it out and a larger one for the mount.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of green card and the papers are from Sweetshoppes "Cool Colours" collection, and as this is a monotone card I have used tones of green and one of grey/white.
I have layered it up as you can see with the lighter green for my first mount and then the darker one on top and a grey/white one for the third layer. The mounted image was then placed in the center and the sentiment is one from my stash and placed in the bottom right hand corner.

Another Card with the gorgeous Aurora Wings Images

Good Afternoon Crafters, its a beautiful day here in Gloucestershire and it does make such a wonderful change from all that rain, but knowing how its been going lately I wouldnt be surprised if it didnt start again in the near future but while its out my dog is thoroughly enjoying it.
Todays card was created for a dear friends Birthday and as shes got 4 beautiful ginger British Shorthair Cats and Im hoping that this little cutie will fill the bill for her. I have printed it onto white card then coloured it with my copic pens. Afterwards I cut it out with my Nestabilitie Rectangle Die and then used a Pearl Effect one for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash and this has been also stamped onto white card and then layered up onto another of the same Pearl effect mount.
The base card is a 7"x 7" white card and I then used a piece of pink Card and used a deep effect flower border and corner punches from Martha Stewart, and then on top is a 6"x 6" pink card and the paper is from My Minds Eye "Heirloom" paper pad, and around the center I have wrapped a piece of white lace and two ribbons laid on top of one another and attached to the back of the first mount.
The mounted image was then placed in the center with the sentiment below on the right hand side.
The final flourish is the flower spray in the top left hand corner which comprises of five roses and four rose buds and pearl sprays these were then placed on top of silicone glue and punched out rose leaves.

Aurora Wings Ballet Dancer

Good Morning Crafters, well its stopped raining for a couple of hours but we have been promised some more this afternoon, and I see its been flooding down on the Severn this morning and its cut of Gloucester for those living near it. Anyway I printed this image about a week ago and I just couldnt decide what colour to do her, as shes from Swan Lake, and of course they are all white so thats what I plumbed for. I have coloured the roses on her headress and down around her dress and then cut her out with my Grand Oval Die from Nestabilities and used a fancy one for the mount. The sentiment is one I googled and then cut it out with a fancy tag die.
The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first mount of white pearlescent card thats been put through my embossing folder and then I have used a fancy doily towards the top and die cut a swan with one of the Tattered Lace dies and placed them at the bottom on the left.
Around the middle I have wrapped a piece of crinkled white ribbon and attached it to the back of the first mount and then placed my mounted image towards the right. The sentiment was placed at the bottom below the image. And to finish of I have used several pink roses and some punched out rose leaves to create a floral spray in the top left hand corner.

Another Aurora Wings Card

Good morning Crafters, I know its amazing for me to actually manage more than one post in a week but I thought you might like to see what I have been playing with this week its another of the beautiful Aurora Wings Images and this one is "Calla Lily" and although to me they are something I tie with funerals Im hoping that this image will hopefully make your think otherwise.
I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used a Nestabilitie rectangle die to cut her out and a larger one for the mount out of green card.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of green card and the papers I have used are from Joanna Sheens "Victorian Garden" and I have used two for this image both with Calla Lilies on, the first a white background with a spotted array of them and the second is a more denser one and this was also mounted onto green card. Then it the top left hand corner I have placed a small doily.
I then wrapped two ribbons around the card and attached it to the back of the first mount, then placed my mounted image towards the right of the card, and to finish of I have used a bunch of mulberry Calla Lilies and placed them on the left of my image and a large triple bow on top.

My favourite Colours

Good Morning Crafters, well for a change I have created a card with my most favourite colours, like my mum and my daughter we all love purple/lilac/mauve and the image I have used is from Aurora Wings and I printed her onto white card and I have used my colic pens to colour her then used the large Nestabilitie Oval die to cut her out, I then used a fancy one for the mount out of purple card.
The base card is a 8"x 8" white card with a first mount of the same purple card and the backing papers from Sweetshoppe designs and this one is called "Lavender fields" which I thought was just ideal for this image and I have used three of the paper designs and mounted them as shown, on top I have used some of the purple spiders web and then across the bottom I have used a strip of lavender organza ribbon and attached it to the back of the first mount.
I then positioned my mounted image towards the right and then arranged two roses and two sprays in opposite corners around the mounted image. The final flourish are the lavender purples again put in the opposite corners.

My second card with the new Aurora Wings Images

Ive been trying to get this card made and posted for the last two days, but even though I had the image coloured I just wasnt sure how to show it, so I hope this layout is ok with you, as its a rectangle image and not easy to show. The image is called "Acorn Sprite riding a Red Squirrel" and I have printed it onto white card then used my copic and tria pens to colour it, afterwards I used the Nestabilitie Rectangle 5"x 7" die to cut it out and a larger one for the mount.
The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first mount of orange card and the papers are from Sweetshoppe Digi Downloads "Pumpkins and Spice" paper set, the first a cream background with falling leaves, and the second is a brown one with spots on and the third is yet again the same leaves with a dark brown background behind it. These two have been cut in squares and then I have used the Martha Stewart Falling Leaf border and corner punches. Afterwards I placed my mounted image in the center towards the top and the sentiment below.
The sentiment is one I googled and this was printed onto a piece of white card and mounted on some orange card. And to finish of I have used some large leaf buttons and stuck them along the top and bottom of my card.

My first card with Aurora Wings Stamps

I found a new Image creator on Facebook its Mitzi Sato-Wuiff of Aurora Wings Stamps and believe me when I tell you they are stunning, I was obviously pulled into buying some and this one was the one I chose to use first, its mainly because my dear mum was very fond of Pansy's and the colour lilac and this was my way of thinking of her. I have printed this young lady "Girl with Pansies" onto white card then used my and coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I used my Nestabilitie Labels No.8 to cut it out and a fancy one for the mount.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of lilac card and the papers are from "Promises" from Nitwits, isnt it gorgeous and I felt it was just so right for this image. I have wrapped a lilac ribbon around the centre and I created a bow with some ribbon as well. The mounted image was then placed in the centre, with a sentiment below on a banner die cut.
