Pink Gem Challenges - "Spring is in the Air"

Good Morning Gemsters, well as you are probably aware we are already well into Spring, the weather hopefully has given us hope that the Summer will be nice and dry but I suppose I had better not speak to soon or I might just put the mockers on it. Anyway the Challenge today for Pink Gem Challenge Blogspot is going to show you that "Spring is in the Air" and as we are only just over Easter this image has already left my home on its way to the grandchildren.
We are being sponsored by our very talented Janet Roberts of Pink Gem Designs.

And if you click on the owl image it will take you to Pink Gem Designs website so you can browse at all the gorgeous goodies that Janet has to offer you.
For my Card I have used this sweet Chloe Image.

She is called "Bunny Chloe" and you will find her here, I have printed 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 fancy one for the mount.
The papers I have used are from Pink Gem Designs "Spring Time" papers and they unfortunately have been retired. The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of white card and the first mount is green card and I have used two papers a plain green one for the base and a white with tulips for the other half of my scene. I then cut a La La Land fence and placed it across the skyline.
I also used a Tulip Border die also from La La Land and stuck this across the bottom, I then placed my mounted image in the middle, and a Butterfly border at the top behind the sky line.
To finish of I created a spring bouquet of tulips and wrapped a green ribbon and tied a bow I also tucked a sentiment behind it and stuck to the top of the left hand corner.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the Pink Gem 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 "Spring is in the Air" Challenge.

"You make me a Happy Bunny"

Good Morning Crafters, this week has been so hectic, not only have we suffered from 5 power cuts, which caused our dishwasher to go crazy, but I have met a sweet person on Facebook who is due to go into hospital on Monday, and we were chatting by personnel messenger when she said I had made her a Happy Bunny and that she wished it was possible to get hold of a little bunny with that message on it. Well I took the bull by the horns and mentioned this to Janet Roberts from Pink Gem Designs, not actually expecting anything quite as quickly as she was in creating this cute and gorgeous image for anyone to use.
Of course I had to get my little mitts on it quickly and create this gorgeous card that Janet created as well as the actual image, if your also interested in getting your hands on it to you will find it here and if you just want the digi image to create your own card you will find it here.
I printed the three sheets that actually create this card and layered both the insert and the front onto green card and then cut out all the decoupage and layered it with silicone glue. I do hope you love it as much as I do, and this card will be winging its way to my special friend as she is unfortunately due to go into hospital on Monday for a operation, and I want to wish her all the best and a speedy recovery so she can get back to crafting.

ABC Challenges - "F is for Festive"

Good Morning Crafters, we have now reached the letter "F" over on ABC Challenges and for this one the theme thats been chosen is "F is for Festive" and we are being sponsored by Magnolia-licious

And I decided to use one of my own Magnolia stamps and I chose this one

I stamped her onto white card and then I used my Chameleon pens, these I found quite difficult to use but I hope the end result isnt to bad (though I have now sold the pens as I much prefer the copics) I cut it out with a Nestabilitie die and used a fancy one for the mount which I cut out of blue card. The sentiment is one from my stash and have stamped it and cut it out with a smaller die from the same dies.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of blue card and the paper I chose to use is from Maya's "Coffee in the Arbour" paper set, I have used just one of the papers and then I laid a pearl spray on top before mounting my image in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom on the right hand side.
To finish of I have used three paper flowers in the top left hand corner.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the ABC Challenge Blogspot and see for yourself what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will want to take part in this "F is for Festive" Challenge.

And shes certainly been "Pinked" as you can see and you will find "Fairy Grace" here,  I printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, I then cut her out completely. The sentiment was one I created on my computer and cut it out with a circle die and a larger one for the mount out of pink card.

Playing with Tonic Dies

Good Morning Crafters, yesterday after experiencing a big problem with my ebosser I decided to give it a go and make sure it was still going to work (I managed to get a embossing folder stuck in my ebosser and hubby had a terrible job getting it out, and even had to dismantle it to do so) and as I had just received these new tonic dies I felt that I could create two birthday cards.
I placed the die on a piece of A4 card in the middle towards the right and then fan it through the machine, and then folded the card in two and placed a piece of colour card behind the cut out. I then used the flower dies to make the flowers by cutting them out 3 times and then coloured them with inkpads with the colour of of the card that I had put behind the cut out. Then used my embossing tool to create shape and then layered them up and placed them on the flowers of the cut out, and in the center I have placed a coloured pearl.
The final thing was the sentiment stamped on the card.
These Cards are to be entered in the following Challenges:-

Well can you believe January has flown by and its now the 1st of February and a brand new Challenge over on ABC Challenge Blogspot and for the one we have the theme "C is for Cupid" and weve been lucky enough to be sponsored by Marianne Designs and Stamp & Create

Marianne Designs

Stamp and Create

And I actually found a gorgeous Marianne Image to use for my card

I have stamped the image onto white card and then coloured it with my copic pens, afterwards I cut it out with a Heart die, I then used the Marianne Heart die for the topper and I also used a pink inkpad to stencil over the design to make it stand out.

The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card and the first mount is a white pearlescent card and the papers are from the Marianne Designs paper pad, then around the middle I have tied a deep pink ribbon and attached it to the back of the first layer.

I then placed my mounted image tipped towards the left and the sentiment was one from my stash and has also been stamped and cut out with a heart die and mounted on a pink heart die cut and placed in the bottom right hand corner and in the right is a bouquet of pink rose buds with a pink ribbon tied around them. The final flourish is the 3 pink pearls in the top right hand corner.

Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the ABC Challenge Blogspot to 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 "C is for Cupid" Challenge.
