Something I've not done in ages - A card just for fun!

Morning Folks!  Just a quick post from me this morning as I wanted to share with you a card that I made last night just for fun!  My health hasn't been too grand and I've stepped down from most of my dts which has also given me the chance to create for fun again.

 I've used one of Mo's gorgeous new little fairies.  The dps are by Bo Bunny, the ribbon and sentiment are from my stash and the blooms from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I used Tim Holtz di around all the edges although it's not showing up too well in the pic.

  As always I have coloured the image in with my trusted Copics and used some glossy accents on the ladybird and Crafters Companion spray & sparkle on her wings.  I will be entering my card into the DP2 challenge as this week they're wanting to see your favourite colour combo and this is one of many that I've used.  Thanks for stopping by.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

Morning Folks!  Hope your week has been good so far.  Just a quick post from me today to share with you my DT card for The Paper Shelter and this week we have a great photo as our inspiration so please do pop by the challenge blog to check it out.

I have used one of the new April digis called "A little bit grumpy".  Isn't she just the cutest little grump you've ever seen lol?!  The backing paper used is one that comes with her and fitted in perfectly with our photo inspiration.  The ticket sentiment is from Whimsy stamps, the felt butterfly is from my stash and the flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts.

As per usual I have coloured the image in with my trusted Copics - E00, E11, R00, R20, R85, R83, R81, G85, G82, G40, BV08, BV04, BV02, G09, G00.  I'll be entering my card into the following challenges:

Crafts and Me Challenge DT - Vintage

Morning Luvlies! Sorry I'm still so quiet but Mr Mojo has left the building and I'm still not feeling myself just yet. Getting there slowly though. Anyhoo onto today's card and it's for another fabby challenge over at Crafts & Me and this week we're wanting to see your vintage creations. Not one of my strong points so I hope I've done ok. I used the gorgeous Midnight Warrior digi and some Pion dps. I then distressed all the edges and inked them with some brushed corduroy. The ribbon and pearls are from my stash and the huge butterfly is a Marianne die.
As always the image has been coloured in with my Copics and I've used a Sakura gold gel pen around the mask for some bling but sadly it's not showing up too well in the pic. Thanks for stopping by today and I do hope you'll join in the challenge with us over at Crafts and Me this week. Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

Morning Folks! WOW, where does the time go? Can't believe another fortnight has passed and it's time for a new challenge theme over at The Paper Shelter. This week we'd like to see buttons & bows on your creations.I decided to use the adorable "Acrobat Little Doll" for my card. The backing paper is the one that comes with the image.

Polka Doodles DT - Big Birthdays

Morning all my crafty buddies!! Happy Easter! Hope you've had a good week and will have an even better long weekend lol! Today's card is for the fabby Polka Doodles Challenge and this week we want to see a number/s on a birthday card.All the elements that I've used on my card are from the gorgeous brand new cd rom called Sugarplum Daisy. Think this has to be my all time fave cd from Nikky.
I printed the image onto some tissue paper and then melted it into the candle which I thought would be a lovely gift to go with the card.
I merged a couple of images from the cd in my graphics programme and then printed off the two little bees, the bunny on the flower and the sentiment seperately and popped them all onto some glue gel to add a bit of dimension. I'll be entering this into the following challenges :

Crafts and Me Challenge DT - Butterflies & Bows

Morning Peeps! Hope you're all well. First I must apologize for my lack of posts and visits to your blogs but I've really been having a rough time with my health to put it bluntly and my mojo just took a runner on top of it all. I'm slowly starting to feel a lot better but still not hundreds so please be patient with me.

Todays card is for the fabby Crafts & Me Challenge and this week is my turn to host so I chose the theme of butterflies & bows.
I chose to use the gorgeous July Digital Stamp available in store here. The dps I have used are by Pion designs, aren't their papers just to die for?! All I did with them was use a little distress ink around the edges. The ribbon is from my stash. The butterfly is a die from Little Clare and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I've coloured my image in with Copics and used a Marianne die "out the box" technique. Thanks for stopping by. Hope you'll join in the fun with us this week over at Crafts & Me as the winner gets to choose 3 digis of their choice. Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx
