Friday Sketchers Challenge 66

Carole has posted a lovely sketch over on Friday Sketchers ...
and it is my God daughters fifth birthday party tomorrow and I thought they would go perfectly together.

CC Designs Swiss Pixie Liesel is one of my Fav's at the moment. She is coloured using PMs.

The five is a download from the Funky Fairy shop the tulip is a magic motif with magic dust and the flowers and butterfly are Dovecraft. The string of flowers are Anita's. The papers are 'Butterflies and Blossoms' and Smirk. For texture i've coloured handmade paper and torn it in to pieces.

Thanks for looking. XXX

Create a Sketch Challenge #1

Had a quiet night so decided to have a go at Katie Jane's sketch over at the new Easy Craft Projects Forum. Had fun colouring up Joanna Sheen's Messy Rabbit and Flower Pot Extras with PMs. I've used Papermania cardstock and Paper Cellar Spring paper and some handmade paper coloured with PM for the grass. The sentiment is a G Studio one.

Thanks for looking. XXX

'Let's Get Stamping' Green Challenge

Sharon has set a great sketch for this week with beautiful DT cards for inspiration and the added twist of using green.

I used my other new CC design Swiss Pixie (want more already!!!) Gretal and decoupaged her after colouring with PMs (including Lime Green). Teamed her with 'Butterflies and Blossom' Stack papers and 'Spring' papers from Paper Cellar and K&Co sentiment and flower die cut.

I want to get some silicone glue next and have a go at the tutorial over at Just Magnolia as a different approach to 3D as I think the effects are stunning.

Thanks for looking. XXX

Hannah's Unusual candy!!!

Basically, Hannah will offer what YOU choose. Wait for it! You can choose one item which totals up to
£10 (GBP - no more but can be less, depends on what you want!) including any postage fees I will incur buying it for you and if you are the lucky winner I will get the goodies for you. Simple as that! Perhaps there is a stamp you have been hankering after, or maybe a stack of papers or maybe something from hobbycraft to avoid any postage costs to maximise the prize!

The Friendly Garden

I have had a lovely afternoon making this card for Brenda's 'In an English Garden' challenge over at Allsorts and the Just Magnolia 'Friendship' challenge (my first time of entering!).

I enjoyed colouring this Tilda (donated stamped image by Susie Sugar, thanks!) with my PMs. I matted her on to a Funky Fairy Matt which was stamped with a Messy Rabbit fence and a Smirk butterfly. The white card was stamped using a Studio G 'My Friend' stamp in pearlescent lavender (Dew Drop). It then had two papers put on top from the 'Blossoms and Butterflies' Stack and then the matt on top of these. Paper flowers from my stash were added and handmade paper coloured using PM Lime green was torn and added in layers for foreground texture. Lastly the tag was edged and stamped and the butterflies punched.

PMs used today.

Thanks for looking and any kind comments gratefully received.

Have a lovely week all. XXX
