Cute Little Hanglar Girl and some Awards!

Hi folks!

Boy has this card taken a long time to make! I'm afraid the cute little Hanglar girl is still having a 'bad hair day'... oh well, I won't dwell on it too much. I followed the sketch on Truly Scrumptious, a great design that I'm sure I'll use again. I also had this weeks Cuttlebug Spot challenge in mind which is 'Celebrate Spring' but I think this card has rolled into Summer... let's say late Spring then ;o)

The papers, ribbon and brad are all from a QVC Bo Bunny kit. I used my Martha Stewart Doily punch along a couple of the papers. I made the large flower using a Sizzix die. I glittered the Cuttlebug embossed panel so that birds and vines would be more prominent. I coloured the image with Copics, koi watercolours and twinkling H2O's. I finished the card off with black self adhesive pearls in the corners. I do hope you like the card... still not sure if it's blog-worthy.

Some Awards!

Sandra Dry Digi Stamps is now Open!!

Hi folks!!

The fairies have finally landed. Sandra Dry Digi Stamps is now officially open!! Hop on over to see the Rosabella Fairy collection. I hope some of them will flitter and flutter their way by magical digi dust to your house.

For this card I followed a few challenges. The sketch over on Mojo Monday is another cute one which was fun to follow. Cupcake Craft Challenges has the theme of Spring this week. A little fairy with fresh flowers in her hair remind me of Springtime. The Cuttlebug Spot is challenging us to use embossed Serendipity's (see their blog for a tutorial). I have embossed my Serendipity panel, alas my photography skills are not advanced enough to pick it up for you. It's a pretty simple card. Lots of layers adhered with glue gel to add dimension. The papers are K&Co. The sentiment, from Crafters Companion has been cut with deckle edge scissors, matted and cut again. Then I shaped it to produce quite deep undulations and adhered with dimensional glue gel. Rosabella Sitting, has been coloured in using promarkers and glitters. I also highlighted the embossing by painting with cosmic shimmer Aurora Sparkle glitter paint. I finished of with a knotted ribbon.
That's all for now
Hugs

Multi Challenge Card featuring Tara and more Awards!

Hi folks!!

I made this card following quite a few challenges. The First being the great sketch over on Mojo Monday. This weeks Cuttlebug Spot Challenge is to use Bows. Papertake weekly has set a challenge to use Orange, Pink and Brown. The Pink Elephant challenge blog is asking for Ribbons and die cuts and A Spoon full of Sugar is looking out for torn edges.

For this card I used DCWV designer papers, (one of them had all different words for 'Mother' on it) I thought it would make a nice Mother's day card. I die cut the corner flourishes with my Cuttlebug. I think the ribbon came free with a magazine. It's been in my stash mountain for a long time. All the layers are adhered with dimensional glue gel. The beautiful image is one of Chris' new release Digital Stamps. If you haven't used a digi-download before why not consider having a go for one of these challenges. They are easy to use. You can download them instantly (no more waiting for the postie) and one of the greatest advantages is that you can re size them to fit with your project. I coloured the beautiful Tara with koi watercolours and rubbed some 'fruit punch' stickles over the flower petals. I think you can just about see in the close up that I have used glossy accents on her eyes to make the most of her wonderful features. I finished off the card with some self adhesive pearls.
