Party Girl

Grrrrr... Scheduled this post and it doesn't post, so here I am... better late then never 😂

So.... Hello! 👋👋

It's been a while.... life sometimes just throws a wobbly at you and you end up AWOL. 

But I'm back and here to show my DT card for My Time To Craft - Link is HERE

The challenge for this fortnight is " Krafty" So use kraft card on your project. 

I've gone for an image by All Dressed Up which is printed onto kraft card and coloured with Marco Rafine Pencils. 

First try with these again, I'm getting better..... I think 🙈 

Image used is part of the  "Party Season" - Link is HERE

The kraft card I cut on the curve and added it to the striped and spotty paper. 

Added a few flowers, twirly things, a trim and a sentiment to finish the card off. 

I'm pretty pleased with it. Need a bit more practise with the pencils tho! 😉 

Enjoy the challenge and please remeber to follow the rules..

Jasmine Texting

 Hello! 

It's been a while since I've played along with any challenges but thought I'd enter a few. 

You know when you have that card to make for a difficult teenager that's never off their phone... 

Well, there's a perfect image for this!

It's by Lili of the Valley and is called Jasmine Phone - Link is HERE

The papers I've used are a download from Etsy from HuckleberryHearts - Link is HERE

Wanted to make the card girly as well as bright and bold. All three papers are out of the download paper pack. I love how they complement each other. 

The image I've coloured using Spectrum Noir Pens. The paperclips are from IKEA. I love them! I love how they add more detail to the card. The three roses are made out of foam. And I've also added spiral staimen. These I've been looking for for like forever! I finally found them!! YAY! 

I will be selling these from my Etsy shop once I've listed them if anyone is interested. 

Here's a few close ups of the details and a shot that shows layers....

 Thanks for popping by. 

I hope you like my creation :) 

I'm entering the following challenges with my creation: 

1) Lili of the Valley FB - Feature A Female

2)   Crafty Catz - Anything Goes with an optional twist 

3) Addicted To Stamps - Make your Mark

MTTC - Sketch

Good Morning! 

Another Saturday and time for another challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE

This fortnight's challenge is a sketch! By meeeee..... :) 

Here's what I'm come up with... 

I used a Faery Ink girl on this card ;) 

She has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens in greens and pinks. 

Originally, her hair was going to be green but I changed my mind. I like the pink. 

The "awesome" is wooden wording. 

Added the pearls & ribbon for a finishing touch :) 

 

Hope you enjoy the sketch! 

 jo ;)

DTBST DT - Anything Goes

Good Morning Sassy Fans! 

I'm back on the Dare To Be Sassy Thursday DT this time round - Link is HERE

Our theme is "Anything Goes" 

I've used Showgirl - Link is HERE

I've gone with a purple/pink colour combo.

The image is coloured with Spectrum Noir Pens. It's also been cut out by hand. 

I've added the flowers, spray and bow for added detail. 

I had to get the button and twine on the card too ;) 

I had fun making this! 

Such a bright colourful, bold card. I loved making it :) 

Thanks for popping by :) 

 

SSD Sponsorship - Anything Goes

Good Morning! 

I've a couple of cards to show you today for the Sassy Studio Sponsorship. 

First up is an image I coloured ages ago! I loved her as soon as I seen her. 

And I thought the sentiment was perfect :) 

This is for sponsor of blog A Beautiful Mess - Link is HERE

The papers are a digital download from Etsy, the sentiment is printed from the pc and Catwomen has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens. She has also been completely cut out. Had to get a bit of glitter and ribbon in there ;) 

Next up is a super fun card for Crafting with Friends - Link is HERE

I used Mad Hatter Buttercream Babe, again, I'd had her coloured up for ages. 

I went with a little bit of an outside the lines idea with this. 

I like it tho! LOL 

She's been coloured up using promarkers in mad hatter ish colours. 

The papers matched perfectly I think, then I am biased as I love this card! 

The little wooden wording sets the whole lot off I think :) :) 

Thanks for popping by, we hope you'll enjoy the challenges and inspiration from the DT

I got use to super cute Breena Fairy - Link is HERE 

I went quite CAS with this card as I wanted her to stand out. The silver strips down the side is actually glitter sellotape form IKEA. A great use for it I thought :)

Good Morning! 

Welcome to a new challenge over at Creative Fingers - Link is HERE 

As always the theme is 

"Anything Goes" 

This week we are sponsored by the awesome Oddball Art Co. - Link is HERE

I got to use the super cute and super creepy "Big Eye Creepy Cute Fairy Girl" - Link is HERE

I wasn't going to do her in pinks originally but I like her! The papers I found in my stash. 

Pretty perfect for this card I think. I had to add some spider web card just for the little dude hanging off the moon lol. Paperclips are from IKEA. 

Hope to see you all playing along! 

MTTC - Friendship/Friends

Good Morning! 

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year. 

Mine was very quiet, just a nice relax. 

So, with the start of 2016, we have a new challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

And the challenge is 

"Friendship/Friends" 

I've used an image from Faery Ink. I'd love to tell you what it's called but I can't remember! 

Both girls have been coloured using Promarkers and I've cut round the image to zone in on the two girls. I did struggle with the background as I'd coloured the image before doing the card. I had to get some blue in there! Added the gems, flowers & washi tape for extra details. Sentiment has been printed off the pc. Here's a few more pics: 

Enjoy the challenge! 

Back with a bang :) 

CWWC DT - Distress it

Morning! 

Super quick post from me as it's my Nephew's Christening today! Eeeek! 

So a brand new challenge over at Crafting When We Can today - Link is HERE 

We are sponsored by the awesome Oddball Art Co. - Link to store is HERE 

And our challenge is "Distress it!" 

I've used Big Eye Eve Has Something To Say - Link is HERE 

And I tried to stick to the red, blue and black colour combo, which is reflected in the buttons and colours used on the image itself. The sentiment has been printed off the pc. To distress my card, I roughed up the edges of the paper and cards. You can use various tools, I like to use a craft knife tho.

As I say, Super quick from me. Hope you enjoy your Sunday and look forward to seeing your creations on the blog! :) 

MTTC DT - Inspired by The Beatles

Good Morning! 

Another fun filled challenge over at My Time To Craft this fortnight!! - Link is HERE 

Our challenge is 

"Inspired by The Beatles" 

It's up to you how you interpret the theme. 

I went for something a little quirky and used and SBS image - Link to store is HERE 

I mainly wanted to stick to a couple of colours and the red and blue sits well together. I've used 3 different types of patterned papers to add layers. The buttons and twine are added to the chevron strip with the greeting being printed off the pc. The image I've used is ASH from Jude and the Rockers range by Rachel Sharp. I do love these images! I've got the whole set so there maybe more cards made in the same colour schemes :) 

Looking forward to see how everyone makes something with the theme :)

I've used Sally Honey - Link is HERE 

And I've coloured her in black and orange - something completely different to her usual look of blueish skin and red hair! EEEKKK!!! 

I'm actually really pleased with the way this card turned out, especially only using 2/3 colours. I had to colour her up again tho after in correct colours. She may make an appearance next week along with Jack, who know's ;) 

She's been coloured completely with Promarkers.
The silver spider web card I've had for ages and never used it! Least it's come in handy :)

MTTC DT - Alice In Wonderland

Good Morning! 

An awesome challenge theme for you over at My Time To Craft this fortnight with the theme of 

"Alice In Wonderland" - Link is HERE 

I have to confess that I'm a little to blame for some of the DT buying extra Alice themed images... I was only being helpful! :-D :-D

Anyhows, I've used a couple of images from Some Odd Girl - Link to store is HERE 

I've had them coloured up for a while and planned to do two cards with them until my lovely friend stepped in and said "how am I going to make a wedding card based on Alice in Wonderland using cadbury purple?" Leave it with me! So here's what I got... 

Even the font is Alice themed Font! it's from DaFont.com I think. 

The images used are Alice Mae - Link is HERE

and Mad Hatter Kody - Link is HERE

Safe to say that both my friend and customer loved it! 

Can not wait to see all your Alice creations! 

 

SSD - Sponsorship

Good Afternoon! 

I hope everyone is well :) And enjoying the sun

Some of my posts seem to be floating in outer cyber space cuz they aren't on my blog! 

Anyhow's, here's two more cards for a couple of SSD sponsorships. 

First up we have Suzy Bee's - theme is "Toys"  - Link is HERE

I thougth outside the box with this a bit. Sally herself is a Rag Doll and she is toying with a spider ;) 

Sally image - Link is HERE 

And Secondly is a  card for Our Crafty Corner - Theme is "Autumn Colours" - Link is HERE

I thought about using sally again but went with Showgirl and did something bright! I went with the yellows, oranges & reds when the leaves start to turn. I do love this time of year :) 

Showgirl image - Link is HERE

Some completely different colours for me but I like them together. 

Be sure to stop by the blog for another FBF image and some more sponorship creations :) 

CF DT - Nikki Burnette

Good Morning! 

Another Friday so another challenge over at Creative Fingers - Link is HERE

This challenge we are sponsored by the awesome Nikki Burnette! - Link to Etsy Store HERE

I had the chance to play with the awesome Telsa who is Steampunk - Link to image is HERE

 

I decided to go with a different colour than I've used before, teal. I do really like the teal and brown together. Would never have really thought about it either. The image itself is coloured with Spectrum Noir pens and I've used 3 different patterned papers, 3 different coloured star buttons, 3 different coloured twines and 3 different coloured card candi. And yes, I know I've used 4 buttons but 2 are the same colour LOL! 

I think I shall be using this image again! 

MTTC DT - Easel Card

Good Morning! 

I hope everyone is enjoying the dry weather. 

I'm back on time with the new challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE

The new challenge is "Easel Cards" 

I do love making these!! 

The image is from Saturated Canary and I've had her cropped and coloured up for ages! So decided to use her. I think, if I remember, She's been coloured up using promarkers. I do the black and white look with a hint of colour too tho. 

It's quite a shallow easel tho as I'd folded the card wrong but hey! It still works! :) 

Hope to see you over at the blog :) 

CWWC DT - Sketch challenge

Good Morning! 

I'm now on day my 6th day of working in a row. I do not mind doing it but I neeeeed to craft! LOL 

This weeks challenge over at Crafting When We Can is a sketch! My favourite! 

- Link is HERE.

 

This week we are sponsored by Inky Impressions and I've had the image "Angelica's Yummy's" to play with - Link to image HERE

I went with a christmas theme as I wanted to use the gingerbread couple on the backing tray. I love gingerbread men especially the one out of Shrek. He cracks me up! the image itself was colouring using Tombow pens and Copics. The paper is out of a vintage paper stack that I've had for ages! Always the way. 

Anyhoo's, enough rambling. Do stop by the blog and play along with the sketch :) 

FBF - Buttercream Babe

Good Morning! 

The last installment of the buttercream babes! 

This one is awesome! 

This one... Ariel! loved it! Added the gems to look like water bubbles. She was coloured using copics and promarkers. 

So... now I can finally show you the big project I used these for....

I've not decided what to do with the photo frame yet. I've now got the clips as I lost them all too! Typical me that! Think I've had the frame for like 3 years LOL 

Anyhows, I hope you've enjoyed the Buttercream Babes! Be sure to check out the new release as well ;)
