The Force of Love

Hi All,

Love this image from Saturated Canary .... I know so many Star Wars fans that I am sure it will be used a lot! I have coloured with Copic's and Prisma's  .. I went over the light sabers with a blue cosmic shimmer drawing ink but then regretted it as it covered up the colouring ... so I think next time I will use a pearlesant twinkling H2o. I then teamed it up with some papers from DCWV, a few die cut hearts to embellish.

Sugar Bowl - June

Hello All,

Well its time for another challenge over at the Sugar Bowl ... and it will be our last for a while, boo hoo!!! Its all good though as Karen is looking to bring some exciting changes to the Sugar Nellie blog ... I'm so excited to see what that will include!! ..... I do so love the Sugar Nellie range, infact it was an inspirational post from Karen that started me blogging in the first place.

Sugar Nellie has so many fabulous girly images .... but they also cater for the boys in our life .. I have used a fabulous digi from Dina Duda, which you can find here ( this image is on sale at the mo, so its a good time to get it ) I printed out on Kraft and coloured it with prisma pencils ... I am kind of regretting adding the white shadow surrounding the image, it just seemed like a good idea at the time, guess you live and learn ..... The papers I bought forever when I went to Canada,

This month we have an amazing prize:
"As this is the last challenge, we have a super duper sugar prize on offer to one lucky winner of this challenge...you get to choose a Sugar Nellie bundle of your choice such as Leanne Ellis, Simply Sassy, Gorjuss with papers and matching embellishments....how fabby is that??"
Hope you will join us in the sugar bowl ... look forward to meeting you there!!

So Happy Together

Hi All,

This is me playing with a new stamp from "Hobby House", I happened to pop into a little craft shop the other week, with the intension of buying one black promarker (As I use it to edge my paper and the one I had was needing replaced. I ended up buying an arm full of stuff, as my new stash was ringing through the till a card caught my eye ... I realised I needed that stamp!!! (LOL) .. and so that ended up falling into my basket too!!! ... I got it home and coloured with copic's and prisma's. Its teamed with papers from "My minds Eye" (something else that also fell into my basket on the same shapping trip!! ... Then I die cut a load of flowers to add as embelishments.

A Friend Like you

Hello All,

I am soooooooo In Love with these new images from crafters companion, love love love them ... had to buy the entire range!! whoopsie!! Loving the fact you can go mad with bling and sparkle and it just really works!!

I have coloured this with copic's and Prisma pencils, I then went over her dress with cosmic shimmer drawing inks, and her eyeshadow was blinged up with some stickles.

I was out the house last week, while we were getting some work done, so I got lots of colouring done ... but it then meant I had to try and match my colouring with papers I had ...... so I have dug out a really old paper pad "K&Co - Amy Butler", and fallen in love with the papers all over again! ..... I have used a Dawn Bibby set of stamps, to stamp out the flowers ..... It amazes me sometimes that I have all these fabulous dies, and I can still find myself stamping and fussy cutting to create embelishments .... guess old habits die hard .... also it does give a slightly different look ..... anyway I am waffling!!

Looking forward to getting all of these beautys stamped and coloured :-)

Mice Thoughts

Hi All,

Sharing another card today, this one is a papermania stamp (I think ... will check the next time I get into the loft) I coloured with my beloved inktense pencils. I am really enjoying using but still needing lots of practice. I went rummaging through my scrap paper box to find papers that matched my image ... and had a little die cutting session too, to have embellies that matched.

Summer Dress


Hi All,

This is a card I have made using an image from the most gorgeous "Fabulous Fashion" Cd by Katy Sue .... I printed off a digi stamp and have coloured with copic's and prisma's ....( I couldnt get the photo right for this at all ... the colour is still not great, but I have included a close up of the colouring as I could not get the detail to show on the original photo) .... I do sooooo love these images, that I decided to keep the card CAS so the image would stand out ... so have just matted and layered with some paper from K&Co ... and created a few little flowers.

Taking a Walk in Paris

Hi All,

One of the many purchases I made from C&C the other week was the fabulous HOTP Ooh la la kit .... I bought it mostly for the dies, however I have enjoyed playing with the kit as a whole.

Here I have used some of the elements of the kit ... I have stamped details on the background card using some stamps from Bo Bunny and Joy, and finally teamed it with this fabulous stamp from Rubber Romance, again one of my original stamps I purchased, really seem to be digging out all the old stash at the mo!! ... I have coloured the image with my copics. I have finally managed to go more over the edge of my cards now as I can make envelopes with the WRMK envelope punch ... Loving it!! I always got in a guddle before making my own envelopes ... Just hope they bring out a board for larger envelopes too .... anyway I waffle on!!!

Kraft Kindness

Hi All,

For once in ages I have been having lots of time to play, I have made a stack of cards but been neglecting blogging ..... So hopefully I will have another month of regular posts, what a novelty!!

I have finally purchased a pack of A4 Kraft card, so have been able to have a proper play with Kraft. I have embossed a piece of craft card using a Teresa Collins embossing folder, then I have stamped using a Kanban stamp and embossed using wow embossing powder - sparkling snow. .... The sentiment is also a stamp but unfortunately I have no idea of the brand, its just a stamp I have in my stash.
