ABC Challenge - "L is for Lots of Layers"

Good Morning Crafters, well over at the ABC Challenge Blogspot we have reached L in our Alphabet of letters and this time we want to see "Lots of Layers" on your card, and we are lucky to be sponsored by 7 Kids College Fund.

and they are offering a fabulous prize of

And for my card I decided to use this sweet Magnolia Image.

I actually made this card for twins that I am very close to, their names are Lily and Lucy and they are now 5 years old, they are the daughters of the breeder of our gorgeous Yorkie Missy and they adore her when she goes to visit and Missy loves them to.

Anyway I stamped this Gemini Magnolia image onto a piece of white card for the first layer and I coloured them with my copic pens, afterwards I stamped it again twice more on the same paper that you can see in the background from Trimcraft its "Me to You" paper pad, and I paper pieced them to look alike. I then cut them out with my Nestabilitie Die and layered it up on a Fancy one.

I used the papers again to create my card and I used a Tonic border punch for the middle strip, in the corners I have used Die-namics corner die and on top I have placed the violet sprays in three of the corners. To finish of I have placed a banner Sentiment in the bottom left hand corner a Die-namics Die.

Now that youve seen my Card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the ABC Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "L is for Lots of Layers" Challenge.

This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

Janet of Pink Gem Designs is one of the most generous people I know being on one of her Design Teams gives you the chance to play with all her gorgeous images and this one is one of the latest its title is "Chloe in a Apple Tree" and you will find them here, and I printed her onto white card.
I then coloured her with my copic pens and cut her out with my Nestabilitie Dies, I have used a larger one for the mount which is out of green card. The base card is a 7"x 7" white card and this is because is its a rather large stamp and I felt it would show better on a larger card.
The first mount is green card and the papers are from again Pink Gem and this set is called "Spring Time" and you will find them here. I have used four of the papers and layered them across the card by using a Tonic border punch on the edges, I used the colours from my mounted image to pick the papers that worked with it the best.
I then layed my mounted image in the center and the sentiment is in the bottom right hand corner, and with the left over papers from the same design set I have used the Daisy die from Die-namics and punched out several sets and with my large ball embossing ball created the flowers that have been layered up in the bottom left hand corner, these were stuck in several layers and stuck to the card with silicone glue and punched leaves.
And to finish of I have used several pale green pearls in the other three corners just to balance it out.

A Card for Sugary Sunday and Sugar Bowl Challenges

Good Evening Everyone, I know Im late but its been a busy day, we always go swimming twice a week and today was one of those days, I really need the exercise so I have to put my mind into trying to more lengths each time I go, but it doesnt always happen but I did manage to do 22 today so at least it made a difference after only managing 14 on Tuesday. Todays card has been created for this fortnights Sugar Bowl Challenge and the Sugary Sunday on on Facebook that is a colour one and here the colours theyve chosen for this week.

A bit of a difficult choice to play with, but I think Ive covered them all, there is a bit of the light blue in her wings if you look a bit closer you can see it. Ive used "Rosie" from Funky Kits and stamped her onto white card before using my copic pens to colour her, the Nestabilitie Die No.1 is what I used to cut her out and a larger one for the mount. The sentiment is yet another from my stash and has also been mounted on a piece of pink card.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card, the papers I have used are the Authentique "Uncommon" Im sure there must be another name for it but this is the one I found on the front. Anyway the first paper is a cream/beige background with roses on in black, pink and red, then on top is a dark grey script paper thats been placed across the first mount then on top is a patterned paper in circles thats been stuck down the card. I then positioned my mounted image in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom on the left hand side.
I have also used one of the Die-namics swirl die to cut out in pink card this has been stuck down the right handside, then I used some of the left over script paper with the Royal Rose rolled die from Die-namics cut it out then rolled it up and placed it at the top of the swirl. To finish of I have used 6  black pearls in two sizes down the left and right hand sides.

A Card for Sugary Sunday and Sugar Bowl Challenges

Good Evening Everyone, yes I know Im late but Ive been out most of the afternoon, it was Missy's date with the Groomer at 3pm and we decided to pop into Ross on Wye while she was there, and you know how quickly the time goes when you get back, what with dinner, and cutting the grass the whole evening is almost gone. Well anyway back to my card, this is for this weeks colour Challenge over on Facebook

yes I know its a strange combination of colours and I couldnt quite make my mind up how to use them, anyway as I had already started to colour up my Ribbonista image I thought oh well lets go for it and Ive used the colours as you can see in my image. I then used my large rectangle Nestabilitie Die to cut it out, and mounted it onto a piece of yellow card, the sentiment is one from my stash.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and the first mount is a 3piece of yellow card and Ive used three papers from the Sweetshope Digi Downloads and this one is called "Fit to Burst" the first paper is an all over flower design on a cream background, I then used my Martha Stewart border and corner punches on the second piece of orange paper, and for my third is a yellow damask pattern paper and has been mounted on yet more yellow card and placed across the middle of the card.
My mounted image was then positioned in the centre with the sentiment was placed down the left hand side of the card. To finish of I have punched out two leaf flourishes that have been placed on the right hand side, and then I used two left over papers from the same set of papers and these were then used with two different sized Royal Rose rolled dies from Die-namics, then rolled up and stuck on top of the flourishes.

A Card for the Sugar Bowl and Sugery Sunday Challenges

Good afternoon Everyone, I dont know how your coping with all this wet weather but my poor dog comes back soaked most days, does this mean we are in for another wet summer I do so hope not, only time will tell. Anyway back to todays card, this one was created for the Sugar Bowl "Sketch" Challenge and for the Sugary Sunday Facebook Colour Challenge.

Not the most easy of colour charts but I do hope you think Ive managed to use them in one way or another, the image is one of the Ribbonista girls this one is called "Belle" and Ive stamped her onto white card before colouring her with my copic pens, I then used my large rectangle die from Nestabilities and this was mounted onto a larger piece of card. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of orange/pink card and the papers Ive used are from Sweet Shoppe Digi Downloads, and this set is called "Grace" I love the colours and patterns, the first paper is a all over small flower pattern and the second one which is a little difficult to see but it has large flower heads on, the third is a damask paper in brown and this one was mounted down the card with some cream paper streamers tied around it.
I then positioned my mounted image towards the left and the sentiment down the bottom on the right hand side, to finish of I have used several of the left over papers and the Royal Rose Die-namics rolled flower dies, to create the flower spray in the top right hand corner, these were stuck to the card with silicone glue on top of some punched out fern leaves.

A second card for Sugary Sunday on Facebook

Good Morning Everyone, well the sun is out and it looks as if its going to be a lovely day, lets hope so. We had a fabulous time at the NEC yesterday and yes I did spend lots of money but hubby seemed ok with that thankfully, I also got to meet up with the lovely Marianne (Fisher), Lisa (Baker) and Lynsey (Warren), we had a right old chat and even had a couple of photos taken so dont be surprised if you see it out there in blogland. Anyway at the begining of the week I actually made two cards for this weeks Sugary Sunday over on Facebook, I posted my first one of my No.2 blog and I thought for a change I would post this second one here on my No.1. As Im going to be quite busy over the next few days creating cards for Sarah Hallam of Peerless Designs (will be posting my sample cards on my No.2 blog in next few days) I felt Id rather neglected you and thought you might like to see a card for a change, hope you like it.
Anyway this is one of the new Pip digi images, and I love this little one with her lamb, Ive printed her onto white card and coloured it with my copic pens then cut it out with the Nestabilitie Die Labels No.4 and then used a larger one for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and for my first mount of blue card on top I have layered up with papers from the Nitwits "At the Park" digi paper set, the first is a white background with multi coloured flowers on, the second is a yellow and white stripe and the third is a blue spot one. I then positioned my mounted image towards the left and the sentiment at the bottom on the right, and to finish of Ive used some of the left over papers and a die-namics flower die and stuck it to the top of the right hand corner on top of some punched out leaves. The final flourish I used two of the Epiphany buttons which were cut out of some of the left over paper then positioned down the right hand side.
