A Card for the Sugar Bowl and the Sugary Sunday Challenges

Good Morning Crafters, isnt it surprising yet another week has gone in this New Year, they say time flies and they are right. Anyway for the card today I have used a very old digi I have had for quite awhile, its one of the original digi stamps that I bought from Sugar Nellie its called "The Dreamcatcher" and I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her. I have then cut it out with Nestabilitie Die No.8 and used a fancy one for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash that I have mounted onto a banner diecut.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue/green card and the papers are from the Sweetshoppes "Summer Loving" and I have used several papers from the set, the first a flower pattern and then on top I have used a blue/green paper and the third a tartan paper. I then positioned my mounted image on the left and the sentiment down in the right hand corner. To finish of I have used 5 different papers and the Upsy Daisy Dienamics die and cut out several daisies and then used a ball towel and then moulded them into a flower shape and layered them up in layers, afterwards I have used some die cut leaves and arranged them in the top right hand corner on some silicone glue and in the center I have put yellow stickles.

My fourth Card with the new Fairy Glen Images

Good Afternoon Crafters, well the sun is out and its quite warm outside and Im so hoping it stays like this when I go away for a few days next week, Cornwall isnt the best place to visit if its wet as it gets rather foggy when it does. Anyway this is my fourth card using the beautiful new Fairy Glen Images from Funky Kits, isnt she a cutie, Ive stamped her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Labels Die No.1 to cut her out and a decorative ones for the mount. The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and the papers are from Raspberry Road, in a free book I received some time ago, Ive only used one piece and mounted this onto pink card, I laid a circle doily towards the top left hand corner, then I wrapped two ribbons around the middle and attached it to the back of the first mount.
I then placed my mounted image on top of the doily, then placed the sentiment down the bottom right hand corner. To finish of I have used several flowers and created a floral spray in the bottom left hand corner.

Heres my third Card with the new Fairy Images

 

Good Morning Crafters, well its certainly a weird day for the weather, its windy but at this very moment the sun is out, but you know what its like one minute sun the next rain, but I thought I would bring another card using the gorgeous new Fairy Glen images from Funky Kits, isnt she just so cute. I have stamped her onto a white card and then coloured it with my copic pens and afterwards I have used Nestabilitie Labels Die No.1 to cut it out then used a fancy one for the mount. The sentiment is from my stash and has been mounted onto a piece of blue card.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card, the papers I have used are from Kay Millers Digi Downloads and this one is "Its a Spring Thing" which is a pretty white background with multi flowers on it. The second paper is a stripe one and the third a plain blue one.

The mounted image was then placed towards the top in the middle and the sentiment at the bottom on the right hand side, and to finish of I have placed six pearls in opposite corners.

A Card for Sugary Sunday and Sugar Bowl Challenges

Good Morning Crafters, oh my the weather is just appalling here in Gloucestershire, its raining and its cold in fact weve had to put our heating on again as the house was colder inside than out, Im beginning to wonder if we are ever going to have a good summer, I just hope it changes before this weekend as its going to be so cold for my great grandsons Christening otherwise. We are supposed to be sailing on the broads afterwards for the reception, its been many years since Ive been anywhere near them so it will be lovely if its a nice day, though I am worried about getting bitten as Im one of those unlucky people who gets badly effected near water in the summer.
Anyway this weeks Sugar Bowl card and Sugary Sunday Challenge is all about using Leanne Ellis images and Ive used this one titled "Time Flies" and you will find it at Funky Kits. Ive stamped her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I cut her out with my rotatrim and then mounted her onto a piece of pink card thats been cut with my deckle edged cutter. The sentiment was done in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card and the papers I have used are from First Editions "Love Letters" new paper pad,  Ive used three of the papers for my card, then placed my mounted image in the middle and the sentiment below on the right. To finish of I have used a La La Land wings die and cut them out of pearlescent card, the watch is a Tim Holtz one that I have mounted on top of the wings.

A Card for several Challenges

Good Evening Crafters, well I thought that you might like to see a card Ive made for this weeks Sugary Sunday (Facebook) and Sugar Bowl Challenges, both are anything goes, but the one for SS wants to see Spring Colours on your card, so Im hoping that this card meets the bill.
I had a wonderful weekend I spend it on a Copic Pen Retreat in Oxford near Harwell Power Station and a fabulous DeVere's Hotel complex, with several like minded girls, we had a brilliant time and I learned quite a few new methods of using them even air brushing which is something Ive wanted to have a go at but been a little nervous of doing it, but it went well. The only problems with the hotel were, firstly the room they gave me was in a old cottage which had leaded windows and they didnt shut properly so I was in a draft during the night and I woke up cold, then Saturday night I just couldnt get warm and didnt sleep at all which was exhausting and yesterday I was than tired I just didnt have the strength to talk to hubby and he was under the impression I was moody, I told him I was just tired, but other than this and a late dinner on Saturday I did have a wonderful time and the girls were lovely.
Anyway this card has been created using of of the Sherbet Pips from Funky Kits, I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used the Nestabilitie dies to cut her out and one of the new ones for the mount.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of orange card and the papers I used are from Sweetshoppe Digi Downloads and this one is called "Carefree Days" they are really some gorgeous paper sets and I love these in particular, the first a white background with multi coloured flowers on, the second is a orange spot one, then across the card I have stuck a lime green ribbon and attached it to the back of the first mount. The sentiment is another of the same dies as the mount and has been stuck down the side of the card.

A Card for the Sugar Bowl "Girlie" Challenge

Good Afternoon Crafters, well its certainly cold outside today and we are being promised some snow maybe, not sure I want that to be honest but hopefully it will pass us by. Anyway todays card has been created for the special "Girlie" Challenge over on the Sugar Bowl, this was the image I chose from my winning last weeks Sugary Sunday Challenge over on Facebook and her name is "Molly" and is one of the Country Cousin Stamps from Funky Kits, shes such a little sweetie and I felt she was just right for this challenge.
Ive stamped her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, then cut her out with my rotatrim and also cut a mount for her out of red card, the sentiment is one from my stash and has been also stamped onto white card and mounted onto another piece of the red card.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card and the papers are from the Sweet Shoppe Digi Downloads this one is called "100% Girl" and Ive used three papers a very pretty flower design on a white background and the second is a stripe one which takes in all the colours from the first paper, and the third is a plain red paper which again is picking up the red in the background.
Ive started to keep my cards less bulky for posting as its costs so much for postage and I felt the background paper was busy enough without adding anything extra hope you agree.

Challenge #61 - Bearlymine Designs Challenge - "Pink Christmas"

Good Morning Crafters, well my first Team Leader blog post for Bearlymine Designs went reasonably well though I did forget a couple of things so Im hoping that this weeks Challenge post will be better, keep your fingers crossed I do a better job of it.
Anyway back to this weeks Challenge its all about a "Pink Christmas" a bit unconventional but I think the colour pink does make beautiful cards and I hope  you will think so when you see my card. Now you will want to know who is sponsoring us this week and that is Whimsey Stamps.

and they are offering a fabulous prize of 5 digi images of winners choice.

And here is my card for this weeks Challenge.

The image I decided to use is from Funky Kits and I have stamped her onto white card and then used my copic pens afterwards I used Nestabilitie Die No.1 to cut her out, and the mount I have used is one of the Spellbinders Marvellous Square die, the sentiment was cut with one of the new Britannia Sentiment dies from Robert Adams.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card, and the papers I choose to use are from Donna of Bearlymine Designs "Pastel Christmas" paper set and you will find it here, I have used two papers the first is a pretty pink background with flower sprays on, the second has been cut with Cheery Lynn doily die, and placed in the middle of the first mount, then around the middle I have wrapped a strip of pink satin ribbon and attached it to the back of the first mount.

I then placed my mounted image in the middle with the sentiment across the bottom right hand corner. To finish of I have used three poinsetta flowers and with two holly berry's at either end I have stuck them to the card with silicone glue on top of punched out holly leaves in the top left hand corner. The final flourish are the four pink gems in the top and opposite corners.

Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will go and visit the Bearlymine Designs Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the Design Team have created for your inspiration and I do hope you will want to take part in this "Pink Christmas" Challenge.

A Card for the Sugar Bowl

Good Morning All, well the sun is out and on the whole is quite warm, though Im not sure I would want to strip of in it. But my card today is for this fortnights Sugar Bowl "Wet, Wet, Wet" and sketch challenge, and I have used one of Funky Kits Mermaid stamps, this was stamped onto white card then I used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used a grand oval Nestabilitie Die to cut it out and used one of the new ones for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash and and has been mounted in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of aquamarine card with one of two papers from the Sweetshoppe Digi "Medsea" paper set the first being a water pattern and the second a spot one for the second mount.
I then positioned the sketch sideways so that I could place my image along the center of the card with the sentiment below on the right. To finish of I have used the "Loopy Rings" die from Memory Box to create the illusion of water bubbles.
