DU2DS Week #3 Pink & Green

Hi folks!

I can't believe we are onto week 3 of the Dare U 2 Digi Stamp challenge already, can you? Where does the time go? Anyway, I decided to make a 12 x 12 scrapbook page this week. For me Pink & Green means 'fairies'.

I printed out the picture of my daughter onto linen cardstock which gives a lovely textured, mat finish. The scalloped card is by DCWV. The green and pink patterned paper is by The Paper Company. I folded two long pieces of pink tulle and attached to the back of the p.paper. I flipped and re sized Rosabella Wish before printing her out. She has been coloured with Koi water colours and glitter. The swirls and 'Beautiful' title I cut using my Cricut. I added glitter to the flowers and leaves on the title. I cut Isabelle's name with a Sizzix alphabet called Sprouts. The flowers are a Boss Cut die and I have finished them off with self adhesive pearls that I coloured green with permanent markers.

Don't delay, hop on over to the DU2DS blog today. You will find loads of inspiration from my fellow DT to get you started on this weeks challenge. There is also a prize of 2 digi stamps up for grabs this week.

Hope you can join in with the fun.

Ciao for now!

Sketch Saturday #43, An Award & Kadoodle Candy

Hi folks!

Hope you are enjoying this glorious Saturday morning. It's time for another one of Jo's fabulous sketches over on Sketch Saturday. This weeks sponsor is Dream2Stamp who have offered some really cute stamps for the prize (I wish I could enter... they are gorgeous). We are also lucky enough to be joined by Dawn who has agreed to be our Guest DT for the two challenges. Check out her stunning card and those of my fellow DT over on the blog.

For this card I printed out some background sheets onto linen card from my new Crafter's Companion Flower Fairies Friends CD rom. The final square panel is Vellum as I didn't want to loose all the beautiful detail from the card underneath. The large swirl under Rosabella is a We R Memory Keepers adhesive rub on that I covered in glitter (it's much more sparkly in real life) The leaf tags and tiny dragonflies and butterfly are Quickutz and I have cut them in Vellum. I added some glittery dewdrops to their tiny bodies and some rub on sentiments to the tags. One says 'loving' and the other 'butterfly kisses'. Rosabella Wish is one of my Digi Stamps available here. I have coloured her using Copics, Koi watercolours and glitter.

Friday Sketchers & Cute Card Thursday Challenges

Hi folks!

Here is another of my images, this time 'Rosabella Wish'. For this card I have followed the sketch over on Friday Sketchers. Had a bit of a struggle threading the ribbon through and attaching it to the back... I went all a bit fingers and thumbs as I used sheer ribbon with ric rac layered on top. I didn't let it beat me and am glad with the result. The papers are the same as those on my previous post. I think they suit little Rosabella really well. I've had the metal coil on my stash for ages and the leaves and flowers are from my Storybook Cricut cartridge. I have coloured Rosabella with my prismas and glittered her delicate wings. They are much more sparkly in real life.

Any tips on photographing my card would be gratefully received. I am also entering this card into the Cute Card Thursday challenge which is to create a scene. Do hope you like my card.
Hugs
