Little Darlings GDT

Hello my lovely blogging buddies!  Hope you've all had a good week.  Aren't you glad it's Friday?  Won't be sorry to see the back end of this week tbh.  Excited to share with you my project as guest designer for Little Darlings Rubber Stamps.

As the dt set a challenge for shaped cards this month I decided to make a little wall hanging instead using the "Just Hangin' Out" rubber stamp coupled with one of their background stamps.  The dp I used is by Magnolia, I know you can bearly see it with all the embellies but it's there lol.  I used a postcard stamp by Maja designs and tucked it in under the corner of the image, the swirl is a doohickey die, the lace doily, ribbon, lace and tulle are from my stash and the flower was from Pop's whose candy I won a while back.  

As always I have coloured the image in with my Copics and looking at it now I think I possibly went a bit dark on the clouds hehe, looks like a storm is brewing in the background lol.  Everything has been matted onto Kraft cardstock.  Please do pop over to the Little Darlings blog and become a follower as you'll not wanna miss out on all the fabulous inspiration from their very talented design team.  Thanks for stopping by!  Here's wishing you a wonderful weekend.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

The Paper Shelter DT - Lotsa layers

Morning Folks!  Where does the time go?  I can't believe it's a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter already!  This week we're wanting to see you use loads of layers, fab don't you think?

For my card I have used the gorgeous new "Lullaby Moon".  Precious don't you think?  I so luv every single image that the Paper Shelter have and it's always so difficult choosing which one to use for the challenges lol. All the dps I have used are by Nitwits and I've layered onto Kraft cardstock.  The clock is a Tim Holtz die, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and pearls and ribbon from my stash.

Here is a close up of the little Sweetie.  Not too happy with her hair but hey ho just gotta keep practising eh?!  Thanks so much for stopping by and I do hope you'll find the time to join in the fun with us this week over at The Paper Shelter.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

Little Darling GDT - Shaped Card

Good Afternoon my lovely followers!  Hope you've all had a good week, aren't you glad it's Friday?  I know I am lol.  Today's card is my guest design team card for the awesome Little Darlings Rubber Stamps.  This month they are focussing on shaped cards, which I must say is not a forte of mine hehe so it's been quite a challenge but so much fun!

I have been lucky enough to to get one of the exclusive stamps by the gorgeous Krista called "Summer".  She was an absolute dream to colour and I loved every minute of it! 

The backing paper I chose to use is one I found in my stash and have no idea who it's by so sadly can't share that with you but it's so pretty, luv the soft colours and all the butterflies.  I have matted everything onto kraft cardstock.  The fence, swirl and butterfly are all Magnolia doohickey dies.  The ribbon is from my stash.

Here is a close up of the gorgeous stamp which I have coloured in with my trusted Copics.  I have used glossy accents on her eyes and on the strawberries but sadly it's not showing up in the pics.

And a sideways view.  I will be entering my card into the Saturated Canary Challenge who have a photo as inspiration.  Thanks so much for stopping by, here's wishing you a great weekend and hopefully fabulous weather to enjoy the bank holiday weekend for my friends here in the UK.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxxx

The Paper Shelter DT - Clean and simple

Morning Peeps!  Hope you're all having a good week  Hasn't the weather been lovely here in the UK?!  I've so been enjoying the summer holidays with no rushing around doing the school run hehe.  Anyhoo, onto today's card and it's a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter.  The theme this week is clean and simple and for me that's a challenge, hope I've done ok hehe.

For my card I have used the oh so sweet "License to frost".  The backing paper is one that comes with the image, isn't it fab?!  The pearls are from my stash and et voila one clean and simple card!

As usual I have coloured the image in with my Copics.  Hope you will take the time to join in the fun with us this week over at The Paper Shelter where you could win yourself some gorgeous images.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

My latest labour of love cake!

Afternoon my lovely friends!  Just a quick post from me to share with you my latest creation.  This is what has kept me occupied most of the week lol.

I have been dying to try my hand at a Topsy Turvy for a while now and I've finally done it!  This is very much a labour of love as it wasn't made for anybody in particular but I wanted to play hehe.  Everything is hand made and edible and I'm proud as punch of my achievement!! 

Hope you've enjoyed looking at work and thanks so much for stopping by.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

Little Darlings GDT - Shaped cards

Hello blogland!!  Apologies for having been so quiet but I'm sure you know how hectic things are around the house during the school holidays.  It is with much excitement that I write this post today as I am guest designing for Little Darling Rubber Stamps and I just luv every one of their stamps!

The dt's theme for the month is to make shaped cards, not square or rectangle.  The stamp I chose to use is called "Fresh Picked Flowers"  isn't she just a sweetheart?!  I've coupled her with "Bird Bath" stamp to create a little scene.  Added glossy accents to her eyes and the water in the bird bath and a bit of glamour dust to the flowers in her basket but sadly none of it is showing up in the pics.  The dps I have used are by First Edition Paper, the butterfly die is from Little Claires and the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

As always I have coloured in with my trusted Copics but am not entirely happy with the colouring on this one, seems my mojo took a runner on me hehe!  Must be the holiday feeling and heat that's getting to me!!  Well that's it for today folks, hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxx

The Paper Shelter DT - Glitz & Glimmer

Good Morning Folks!  WOW can you believe it's the 1st of August?!  Where has this year gone?  Anyway, onto today's card and it's for The Paper Shelter challenge which is "Glitz and Glimmer" this week.  Simples, don't ya think?

I have used the gorgeous "Bath Time".  The backing paper comes with the image, isn't that fab?!  The ribbon, lace and flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Image has been coloured in with my trusted Copics as always and for my glitz I just had to add some stickles stardust.  Hope you'll find the time to join us over at The Paper Shelter this week.  Thanks for stopping by.  Lotsa luv, hugs xxxxx
