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.

Mojo Monday meets Colour Create

Hi folks!

Here is my crafty offering for tonight. Two challenges have been covered by this card. I followed the fab sketch on the Mojo Monday Challenge blog and the colour combination over on Colour Create. Pink and grey are the flavour of the week with the option of cute and cuddly. Well I don't think you can get much cuter than this teddy with his armful of flowers.

The designer papers are DCWV and the pink cardstock is co-ordinations. I adhered a contrasting white strip of paper behind the pink panel under the bear; stamped the grey swirls on; folded it back and held it securely with the five little grey brads. The square and scalloped layer are die cut with my Nestabilities. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss. I coloured the teddy with my Prismacolour pencils, Sanasodor and paper stumps. The flowers I painted with my twinkling H2O's and cosmic shimmers. Not sure if you can see or not but I did some feather cutting with a pair of sharp scissors all the way round the furry edges of the teddy.

Must get some sleep now, my twins were up at 5:30 this morning (technically yesterday) if they do the same today... I've only got a few hours sleepy time before they get up. Eeeek!

Nite folks!

Sketch Saturday #34

Hello folks!
It's Saturday......it's Sketch Saturday Challenge time again. Jo has come up with another fun Sketch, all those lovely layers to work with. 'Fun' is what I had in mind when I stamped the gorgeous Primrose. 'Aint she a beauty!! Be sure to check out all the wonderful designs my fellow DT have come up with.
My fun card has been made with DCWV papers and card. I think the eyelets came with my Big Bite. I used the Cuttlebug to emboss the circle layer and my Nestabilities to cut out the circles and scallop circles. I coloured in Primrose (from the Kadoodle range) using Derwent coloursoft pencils for her skin (didn't come out too well in the photos... I think my photography is getting worse not better... help!) I used a mixture of twinkling H2O's and cosmic shimmer watercolours for here attire and I finished off with cream pearlidoodles for the ice-cream.
I hope Primrose brings a little Sunshine to your day.
Please join me in saying farewell to Emma who is stepping down from Sketch Saturday DT. I am sure you will agree that her work is truly inspirational. It was great working with you Emma and I hope that you will have more time in the future to enjoy your craft again. Miss you!
Hugs
Sandra xx
** I forgot to add that I die cut the letters using Go Kreate dies, London alphabet. I used some fab stuff. Do you remember 'sticky backed plastic'? Well this is 'sticky back velour' lovely stuff. It's like the cheats version of flocking. (I got mine at Hobbycraft)**
