Lil Christmas Pup

I'm honoured to be joining CRAFT Challenge as a GDT this week.  Their theme is Animals this time.  I'm using an image from Sweet n Sassy called Christmas Puppy.


The image has been coloured with Copics and then fussy cut.

My design papers are from First Edition and I've also used some black card.


I've tied some twine in matching colours, added . few golden snowflake charms and a large wooden glittery snow flake to finish :)

Thanks for popping by for a look.

A Little Hello

We're sharing some more inspiration today with Wendy's new release images from All Dressed Up.



After colouring the image I decided to do a vintage styled card.  The image was coloured with Copics, cut it a Spellbinders die, the edges distressed with Vintage Photo ink from Tim Holtz and then two different types of embossing enamel scattered around the edges.

My papers are fro Lemoncraft, distressed and cut with a Fantasy Die.


Behind the image is a section of cream lace, my white paper flowers and leaves were also distressed with Vintage photo ink.  Finally i've added a sentiment from Make It Crafty coloured with Copics and some pearl gems.

You can see some more inspiration today from the Dressy Girls on the blog and in the Facebook Group.

After work shopping trip

That's what this image reminds me of :)

Love to skate.....

I've been busy this weekend creating, I coloured this image Winter Warm Up with Copics last night and have just finished the card this afternoon so I can share it with you.




This card is stock full on my favourite techniques and embellies :)
Around the image I've scattered some embossing enamel.  All my papers (from Lili of the Valley) and the image have been distressed with a Tonic Solutions tool.

The sentiment I created at the time of printing, originally I can going to do a CAS style card but changed my mind as soon as I started colouring her.


I've used two different Fantasy Dies, some purple papers flowers and a strip of flowery lace that made me think of snowflakes when I turned it upside down.

Pollen Fairy

I have a love of bees, my outdoor pots at home have lots plants in them just for them!  That's what inspired me to create this image called Pollen Fairy.



The image was printed large and coloured with Copics to showcase it.

The edges of the image and the black card framing it were distressed with a Tonic Solutions tool.


All I've added is DecoArt glitter to the fairies dress and shoes and a sentiment made up from Tim Holtz stickers.

Hope you're all having a great weekend

Love my shoes!



The image has been coloured with Copics.  I was a little slapdash around the window frame so I've gone over this with a white gel pen.  In the sky I've used some embossing enamel.



I coloured this image in a bit of a rush and didn't really think about design papers until after.  After shuffling through several paper I picked some from Joy Craft.  The image and black card framing it were both distressed with a Tonic solutions tool.

The final thing I added was a Birthday sentiment.

Vintage style

We're being sponsored this month by All Dressed Up at the Outlawz Sketch challenge.



The image has been coloured with Copics.  I've cute the image out with a Spellbinders die, the edges were then distressed with Vintage Photo ink from Tim Holtz.  I've then sprinkled two different colours of embossing enamel around the image.

Here's our sketch for the next two weeks


My design papers are from First Edition and Lemoncraft (also distressed with the same ink).

Underneath the image is a section of lace (instead of paper).  I've also added a couple of sections of film strip from Tim Holtz.


My final embellishments are some brown rose organza trim, a couple of paper flowers and a tiny resin photo frame.

Thanks for popping by today, we hope to see you at the challenge

Angel Tag





The image has been coloured with Copics.  I've then scattered some embossing enamel on to add to the starry night sky effect.

I thought about it for a while then decided to make a Christmas tag.  I'm quite into recycling my old cardboard at the moment, so off I went for a rummage in the kitchen to see what cardboards I could find.  I've ended up using a tonic water box :)


Here you can see the die cut tag.  I've used some sparkly white paper to frame the image.  I've added some tiny silver star charms to the tag.  Finally I found a selection of ribbons to add :)

Thanks for popping by today, we hope to see you at the challenge

Florals

Our challenge this month at All Dressed Up in the Facebook Group is to add a Flower.

So I've decided this time to use one of Wendy's beautiful flower images.  This one is called Jam Jars.  I've printed the image large and used just one of the three, colouring it with Copics and fussy cutting it to add to the card.


My design paper is from First Edition and I've also used some black card.

The background behind creating a sunburst was created using a Tim Holtz stencil, tangerine and black inks.  I've also added some embossing enamel.

All of the papers / card were distressed with a Tonic Solutions tools.


My final additions were some orange enamel dots and a happy birthday sentiment from Make It Crafty coloured with Copics.

Don't forget as well as our challenges in the group we also have blog challenges which you can find here.
