I Need YOUR Help!!!!!!

Pretty please :) x

A few weeks ago I saw a post on Heartfelt Creations FB page with a shout for a new DT.  I thought about it...thought again...and then thought ...unless I entered I wouldn't stand a chance! So off to my craft room I went!
Wellllllll......yesterday was THE day when they released the names of the semi finalists....and I'm on the list!! Yayyyy!!! :) 

Now, I'm not usually one to shout about things...what will be will be...BUT...there is a voting system in place...and I would like  'need' your votes!!! :) 

One of my old (back in time not age! LOL) team mates from another DT  - Enfys - has also made it through  along with Liz - also from the UK...and as you need to pick 5 semifinalists to complete your vote, I'm sure they would appreciate an extra tick in the box :) 
Sooo...if you have a couple of minutes to spare while you drink your coffee and dunk your biccies, I'd very much appreciate your vote...which you can do over HERE...
Oh...and you will also have a chance of winning a $50 Heartfelt Creation gift certificate!! :)

This is one of the projects I submitted  ...the Hearts and Lace white card (a couple of posts down) was another xx

Thanking you very much...cheekily...and in advance *Mwah* xxxx

Rags for Ryan x

I've been wanting to have a play with Rags since he arrived here in the week...and tonight I got the perfect reason!! A birthday ATC for the 5th birthday of a friends' son.

Here he is...I have wiped Chrome Yellow and Deep Turquoise ink, from Nick Bantock ink pads , along with Fired Brick from Tim Holtz, randomly over a blank ATC...then wiped TH's Old Paper distress ink over the whole thing. I flicked water sparingly, and then dried it off.
The image of Rags...has been stamped on using Jet Black Stazon, as has Happy Birthday (from Stamping Bella) ...and a few of his hearts and patches coloured with Sakura Gelly Roll pens. I have spritzed all over the ATC with Scarab Beetle Glimmer Mist...added a doodled on border and his name in epoxy lettering.
There we have it...the first of many encounters with Rags the adorable teddy from Funky Fairy's Papercrafts!

xxxx HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN xxxx

Winter

This weeks 'Florrie's ATC Challenge' on Craftswap was on the theme of Winter.

Here's mine...


The background is Nick Bantocks Turquoise smudged around with water and a spray of Oyster Glimmer Mist. The image was sent to me by Shaz from Funky Fairy's...and is 'snowbunnybella' from Stamping Bella. She has been coloured in with Sakura Souffle pens and glittered with Stickles (although I don't think you can see that very well)...Winter has been printed and the fluffy white wool wound round to blend with the fluff on her coat and boots ^.^

The new challenge starts tomorrow...or actually as it is now...today!!!

Royalty

Last weeks...Eeek, late again!!...Florrie's ATC challenge on Craftswap had the theme of 'Royalty'!
My one ickle brain cell struggled to think of something for this...until I found a crown!! Then all I had to do was find a head for it to fit on!

Anyway...here is my finished effort...For the background I have used Rose Madder, Chrome Yellow and Deep Turquoise ink pads from Nick Bantock...then lightly rubbed Tim Holtz Tattered Rose over the top. Onto that I have stamped the gorgeous little girl image from Crafty Individuals and then spritzed with 'Solar Gold' Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels.

The gold ribbon is held on using my 'Microstitch' tag machine. The crown (which has since had gems added) was placed gently on her head and the word 'Princess' added to finish.

Gratitude...

...Is the theme for week 87/88 of Florrie's ATC challenge on Craftswap forum. There is a new one for this week, which is week 89. I'm just late as usual!

I have dabbed ink from a Tim Holtz distress pad lightly over an ATC, then stamped it with one of the stamps from an Autumn Leaves 'Flourish' set. It has then been spritzed with Solar Gold Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels and left to dry before going round the edge with a Gold Krylon pen.
The wording 'Count Your Blessings' is from a K&CO 'To Go' box (Yes...I've used one - Yippee!!) coated with a pearlescent beige Brilliance pad and again edged with Krylon pen. I used ribbons and a brad to finish it.

Apologies as the picture doesn't do it any favours really... you can't see the glimmer or the writing very well x
