Glowing

It's new release inspiration day at All Dressed Up.  For my inspiration today I'm using the very cute image Fairy Bauble, you can find it here in Wendy's shop

I've coloured the image with Copics giving her a glowing night scene.  There's some added sparkle with embossing enamel and a tiny silver star.

I've made her into a large Christmas tag using recycled amazon boxes and some silver glitter paper.  The selection of silver and blue ribbons are from my stash.

You can find more inspiration on the challenge blog and in the Facebook group today.

Round and round we go.....


We don't have a sponsor this month, that means we can use what ever we like :)

I've chosen to use Silly Chilly Stan form Oddball Art, trying to make sure I get a few early Christmas cards made.


The image has been coloured with Copics, the snow created by adding some embossing enamel.  I've cut the image and the glittery chite background out using Spellbinders dies.


These are our sketch hints for October's challenge.



As you can see I did one circle extra using a circular card as well hee hee.....well the hints are just there to use as inspiration!

Sketch upgrade at Outlawz


First to tell you about the image I'm using, it's a Ching-Chou Kuik one, you can find Forget Me Knot it her shop here.


I've coloured her with Copics keeping a really simple colour pallet of green and white.  I've cut her out to matt onto a frame of black card cut out with a Spellbinders die.

So now for the sketch theme, were giving you a shape and hints of what to add to your card, nothing else, really easy we hope :)


Here's a close up of the paper flowers.  I've included and image with flowers as well so both count.  you don't have to do anything fancy, unless you really want to.



Behind the image is a section of beautiful cream lace.


The design paper I used is from Maja Design, and I've also used some black card.  Three black gems in the corner to complete the card.

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

No design paper from me today, makes a changes ;)

Sweet as......

It's new release inspiration day at All Dressed Up.  For my inspiration today I'm using the very cute image As Sweet as Melon, you can find it here in Wendy's shop.


I've coloured the image with Copics with bright melon colours, offsetting with a lovely cream and green spotted dress.


Creating a CAS styled card to showcase the image I've used three papers to match the melon colours red and black card and some green design paper from Studio Light.

My sentiment is made up to match the image name from Tim Holtz stickers.

Thanks a Bunch

It's new release inspiration day at All Dressed Up.  For my inspiration I have a little shabby chic creation to share.



I've coloured the image with Copics in soft pinks and warm browns.

There's some embossing enamel sprinkled around and a few pink pearls.

 

Behind the image is some design paper from Maja Design, some craft card and fabric gauze.  The papers have all been distressed with a Tonic Solutions tool.

Final additions are some string (from a clothing tag) and a sentiment (a Tim Holtz sticker).

Just Magic.....

This month we have no sponsor so it means I get to play with images I already have :D

I've got quite a few printed, as I was looking through I found this image called Violet Pixie from Sarah Burrier (sadly no longer available from what I can tell).  The shape of her wings made me thing about the sketch flipped on its side.


I coloured her with Copics and then had a chat with Sandra about my "way outness" for the sketch LOL!  We decided it was good because the sketch is the inspiration  and it gives a different perspective on what can be done.

So..... this is our sketch for the month which I've flipped on its side.  The wings are the banner and I've got her a moon as well for the circle.


I decided to fussy cut the image because I wasn't happy with a single layer card which is what I was going with at first.  I found the "moon" which is a geli plate print I did ages ago, using inks and a flower stencil (I so need to get my geli plate back out again).

As I was shuffling through papers I just sat her and the "moon" onto a sheet of black paper.  She was so striking on this I couldn't get any design papers that has the same effect.  So I made my own star background by scattering embossing enamel onto the black card.


I have selected on pice of green design paper from Lemoncraft to go with the greeny theme.  Finally I added a sentiment to the moon using stickers form Tim Holtz.

I so love how this came out :D

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