Little golden angel

I can't believe how fast May went!  Today we start a new challenge in the All Dressed Up Facebook Group - this time we have the challenge set at Things with Wings.  You've actually got a lot more choice than you first think for this.

For my wings I've chosen angel wings - this image is Little Angel.

I've coloured her with ProMarkers, cut her out with a Spellbinders die, used some Antique Linen and Vintage Photo distress ink from Tim Holtz.  Then I've sprinkled it with embossing enamel and glitter to make it look like angel dust.

Using a shaped card I've used one design paper from First Edition..  Both the card and the design paper have also been distressed.

Embellishments are some lace from Live and Love Crafts, some golden glitter stars and wooden holly leaves coated with glitter (both from Hobbycraft), some white poinsettias which I've had in my stash for a couple of years now and some earl gems.

The overall effect is monochromatic - hope you love my card and we hope to see you at either the Facebook Challenge or the one on the blog (anything goes with an All Dressed Up image)

Important

The ABC Challenge - I is for Important, starts today and is sponsored by Polkadoodles who are celebrating 7 years!

We'd like to see your cards for special and important occasions this time

The image I've used here for my birthday card is Emily Birthday

I've coloured her with ProMarkers and polychromos pencils.  Once the image was cut out I distressed it with Tim Holtz Milled Lavender ink. 

The layered design papers are from Joy Crafts, Studio Line and Our Daily Bread.

There's a banner cut with a La La Land die, a sentiment from Lli of the Valley coloured with ProMarkers and a few pearl gems to finish the card off

Hope to see you at the challenge

For June we're being sponsored by DRAWN by Krista at the Outlawz Sketch Team.  For my first inspiration card of the month I've used Snail and Mushrooms

I've used Copics and ProMarkers to colour this image.

Here's out sketch for this week

I've used red card stock and some design paper from Lili of the Valley.  The red spotty ribbon was bought from The Ribbon Girl

Instead of the flowers on the sketch I've used a couple of silver mushroom charms and a double heart embellishment from Express Yourself and a couple of black gems. Oh and the sentiment is a sticker from Paperchase :D

Today I have the honour of being a Guest Designer at Crafting by Designs - thank you for having me 

I've been admiring this stamp for ages and it's definitely become my new favourite.  It reminds me of Holly Hobby (when I was young) and all the historical dramas on TV - it's just so beautiful!

The image is one of Julia Spiri's called The Victorian Hat.

I've chosen to colour her in pastels using my favourite ProMarkers and then cut her out with a Spellbinders die.

Here's a close up of the flowers and pins arranged to the left of the card.  The pins were from The Ribbon Girl, the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and Live and Love Crafts and the sentiment badge is a Lemoncraft one

I've done a shaped card this time, hand cutting the papers which are from Joy Craft and Studio Light.  Just behind the image you can see some paper cut with a Little Darlings die.

On to the final few touches, some organza rose trim from Wild Orchid Crafts, some lace from The Ribon Girl and a clay heart from Live and Love Crafts.

Phew lot to this one.  I need to do more CAS card their easier to write about - LOL!!

Hope you'll pop along to the Anything Goes challenge for June at Crafting by Designs
