Little Angel at the Ball.

Good morning all.

First of all I must apologise for the photograph of my card today, Even though I photographed it in daylight it has been so dark here in the West Midlands I still needed flash.

We start a new challenge at Crafty Girls Creations today.

Our theme is the usual 'Always Anything Goes'

Our sponsor is

 Lacy Sunshine Stamps

I have used a lovely digi stamp from our sponsor and coloured her in using colouring pencils from spectrum noir. 

All the dies I have used are from creative expressions. The embossing folder is a tattered lace one and I have finished it off using tonic nuvo drops.

Petrinka from Rick St Dennis

Hi folks.  Hope you all have a good day today.

Wednesday is my working day so I will be busy but so wishing I could craft instead.  Still working helps fund my crafting so that's not too bad.

We start a new challenge at our Crafty Girlz Creations challenge.

Our theme is 'Anything Goes'.

Our sponsor for this challenge is

Rick St Dennis.

I have used a lovely digi stamp from our sponsor called 'Petrinka'

I have used an 8x8 white base card followed by some purple card.

I then used some of the lovely little stamps Leonie Pujol has recently released and made my own background embossing with cosmic shimmer purple shimmer embossing powder.  I then finished it off by embossing it with twinkling stars A4 embossing folder from creative expressions.

I coloured Petrinka using copic sketch markers and I glittered her jacket and hat with white glitter.

My sentiment is embossed with cosmic shimmer gold glitter embossing powder and the stamp is from John Lockwood.

I made my flower using a stamp from Dreamees, gold glitter embossing powder and parchment.  The leaves were die cut from a die by creative expressions.  All finished off with a little bit of tonic nuvo drops in purple.

Thanks so much for visiting and I hope to see you again soon.

Mels Cell from Aliciabel

Good morning.  My 2nd post of the day to tell you its our 2nd blogaversary at Get Creative Challenge.

Challenge 52 theme is 'Birthday'.

Our sponsors for this challenge are 

AliciaBel

AND 

Dr Digi

I have used a digi stamp from AliciaBel called Mels Cell.

She is gorgeous and so useful especially in this day and age when so many people have phones surgically attached to their hand or ear - hee hee.  You've have probably guessed I really don't do phones other than in an emergency.

Anyway, on with crafting - I have coloured 'Mel' using copic marker pens.  The fussy cut her out plus a mat using my BSC on the direct to cut function.

My background is made with Pixie Powders.  Yes I have discovered them and I LOVE THEM.

I enjoy making my own backgrounds anyway and the pixie powders are just wonderful to work with and you can do so much with them.  I use John Lockwoods method and do one using watercolour card, then do 2nd generation plain card followed by 3rd generation parchment and finally clean it all up with kitchen roll which I leave screwed up until the following day.

Then I was watching Phil Martin on Hochanda and he showed yet another way of using pixie powders, Roll on my hols over Christmas when I can have a really good play now I have most of them.  Definitely worth the money. Must check out Julie Watts you tube as she has even more ways of using them.  oooo roll on Christmas.

I die cut the frames using double pierced rectangle dies.  My flowers were stamped using Phils old gold embossing powder and stamps from Dreamees onto parchment.  The leaves are new dies from Sue Wilson which I have double embossed again using old gold embossing powder.  I finished off my card by stamped two tags using Phil Martins new Daisy stamps and old gold embossing powder.

I have to admit to being really proud of this card and I know exactly who I shall be giving it to for her birthday next year.

Snowglobe from Art by Barb

Good morning fellow crafter's and followers.

I do hope you all had a good weekend?

I must admit I did have a lovely afternoon on Saturday crafting, some 'me' time.

We have a lovely new challenge starting at Crafting from the Heart today.

Theme is the usual 'Always Anything Goes'

Our sponsor for this challenge is

Art by Barb

I must admit I hadn't heard of this company before but having worked with the lovely digi stamp called 'Snowglobe' I shall certainly be checking out her blog.

This image was pure delight to colour.  

I have used a mixture of copic marker pens for her face and sakura pens for her hat and dress.  I have also glittered the fur around her hat and pom pom.  Hopefully you can see that.

Some matting and layering using white base card and some blue card.  I have used a creative expressions embossing folder called 'icicles' and made the flower using a stamp from Chloes Creative Cards, parchment and cosmic shimmer denim sparkle embossing powder.

I then finished it off with some tonic nuvo pearl drops and a sentiment also stamped in the denim sparkle embossing powder.

Christmas Poisenttias

Good morning all.

We have a new challenge starting this morning at Crafty Girls Creations.

Challenge 29 is 'always anything goes'.

Our sponsor is

A Day for Daisies

I have used a lovely christmas image called 'Christmas Poinsettia'.

After printing out my image I coloured it in using sakura pens. I coloured two, fussy cut one out using my BSC and then cut the other one by hand so I could do some decoupage.

I have made a 7x7 cream card with matting and layering of red and cream card.  I then embossed my cream card using a poinsettia embossing folder from creative expressions.

I die cut frames using red and cream card with creative expressions double pierced square dies.

My sentiment was one from Phil Martins snowflake collection.
