The other image comes from a sheet containing four beautiful images by Whoopsi Daisy, again I coloured with Copics and added a little Stardust Stickles to her wings for a glittery effect..

I used flowers from Wild Orchid

and a sentiment from Lili of the Valley, tinted with a little Distress Ink and some more Stardust Stickles.

SSDS DT card - Tag it

This is my second post today and I would like to show my DT card that I made for the Stamp,Scrap and Doodles Saturday challenge.

This week its Tag it! 

I used papers that I got free in a magazine and used them to make a small pocket on the front.

The image on my tag is Henry with Cupcake from Whiff of Joy.

When I found these cupcake buttons in my stash I thought that they would be perfect for this card.

My first challenge as a guest Gorjussette - Bling it!

Today's challenge at Totallly Gorjuss is Bling it, this has to be my favourite sort of challenge, I Lurve Bling.

Our sponsors this week are Whoopsi Daisy.

For my card I followed a sketch over at Sketchy Colours. The papers are some from stash, that I've had for ages so I dont know their makers, sorry. They are very elegant though and have a lovely pearlescent shimmer. I matted on to pink card and distressed all the edges with Brilliance pink ink.

I used one of the beautiful digi images from Whoopsi Daisy and coloured her with Copics, then added a little Stardust Stickles on and around the image.

I used a shimmery ribbon strip and made a double bow and added a  large crystal jewel to the centre.

A couple of swirls and loads of gems finishes the card nicely I think.

Now its over to you, lets see lots of bling.

Good afternoon everyone, I can hardly believe it Friday already, where has this week gone? I've been getting things ready this week for a Craft Fair tomorrow, but thought I should also make a quick card for a couple of challenges.

I followed Kiki's sketch at the Sugarbowl challenge, which I turned on its side. Unfortunately I had already picked and coloured this image before realising the optional extra was Pink.

I'm not sure where the papers are from as they were a couple of  loose sheets in my box, but they are very pretty, possibly K and Co, if not then I'm sorry for giving you duff info.

I coloured him with Copics and have to say, these latest images in the Adorables range from Sugar Nellie, are just so easy to colour, there is no trying to work out where the shadow goes as its all suggested in the image.

I used some lace trim from The Ribbon Girls and a piece of ribbon, buttons and train charm from stash.

Challenges that inspired this card are

Sugarbowl - Kiki's sketch #56 (not pink, hope thats ok)

Stampavie - #134 - For a boy

Cupcake - Monochromatic

House Mouse - Welcome spring

Good morning all, where has the week gone? can't believe its Thursday already.

I want to share my card for the House Mouse challenge -Welcome Spring. I followed the sketch over at Passion for Promarkers -#91 sketch, but had to turn it on it side as my image was too big to fit the sketch the right way around.

I chose this adorable image from the Tulip stamp sheet and coloured with Promarkers.

You cant really tell, but each raindrop and puddle of rain has dimensional glaze on it.

The papers were from a scrapbooking paper stash, that I came across whilst tidying up. I suppose I should tidy more often, you never know what else I'll find ;o)

I finished with a strip of raffia lace, a couple of flowers and a butterfly charm.

I am entering it into these challenges;

Squigglefly - Spring theme

Cheerful Stamp Pad - Is it Spring yet?

Little Claire's designs - Flowers

Stampavie and more - #133 Spring / Easter. I chose spring

Thanks for looking, enjoy the rest of the day. x
