ABC challenge S is for ...

Sparkle

Thats right its Wednesday and that means a new challenge at ABC and our sponsors for this challenge are

 One Stop Card Crafts.

Its a nice easy one so lets see some sparkley creations.

I chose to do something a bit different for me, I stamped and embossed a large butterfly twice and coloured both in using Twinkling H2O's and also used a black Sakura glitter pen around the coloured parts. I stamped around the edge of one with a swirl stamp and embossed with hologram embossing powder, then matted it onto red glitter card.

I cut out the second one and layered it using glue gel to give a dimensional effect and added gold wire antenna.

You can see the dimension better in this photo.

I finished off the card with some gold glitzy ribbon and flowers from stash.

Although the photo doesn't show it well, the whole effect is very sparkly, some may say over the top, but not me, the sparklier the better.

Please come over to the ABC challenge and dazzle me with all your sparkly creations.

Romance is in the air...

Wow two cards and posts in one day, can you tell that I've missed a couple of days blogging?

Well here's a card for the Lili of the Valley challenge this week they want to see some Romance.

I followed the sketch over at Friday Sketchers #140. Not sure where the paper and embossed card are from had them ages.

The image is LOTV and I coloured with Copics and Prisma pencils.

I punched out the heart and kisses border and attached with some heart brads by Cardology. Finished with flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

To my valentine

My card today is on a romantic theme. It is based on the sketch over on Inspirational Card Sketches. I turned it and used a heart shape instead of the large circle. I used some more free papers and the red card I got on sale from Create and Craft. I inked all the edges with Distress Ink, to give a bit of a distressed look.

I chose this sweet image from Penny Black, coloured it with Copics and added a red glaze to the rose and a hand written message to the tag.

I finished off by adding a die cut heart, with a stamped sentiment and some elegant red pearls, from The Hobby House.

I am going to enter this card into these challenges;

Playing with Copics

My Copic markers arrived yesterday and I couldnt wait to play. I had also downloaded some of the adorable Sugar Nellie digi's stamps from Funky Kits, so decided to try them out too.

After spending an hour colouring the very beautiful Verity, I made the mistake of putting a little bit of tape on the edge of the nestie to hold the image in place whilst I cut it out, and when I removed it I tore the bottom of the card. Can you spot the strategically placed orange swirl ?

The paper is K and Co, I chose these colours because its so dull outside lately and they brightened up my day.
The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and the flowers from stash.
I would like to enter this card into The Sugar Bowl challenge #51- this week its Kiki's sketch and the theme is Birthdays.
