Favourite Colour

This is the challenge theme at Secret Crafter this week. I have gone with Navy as I just love it ♥
It's quite plain as it's for one of my daughters' school friends who doesn't like fuss or girly!
I have used my Stampin' Up! So Swirly wheel to make the background paper.

Blooming Gorgeous Birthday!

This weeks Papertake challenge is 'Blooming Gorgeous'...and as the title suggests had to include floral embellishments.
I left it until now to put it on my blog because this was also for a friends birthday today...so hopefully she's now got it!



Happy Blooming Birthday Denize!!! ^.^




The little girl is Lola, a Sugar Nellie stamped image, which I've coloured with Sakura pens, then mounted on two layers of Bazill cardstock. The base card was white but has been covered with Cranberry and Denim Adirondack ink pad colours. I stuck down the layers and added a piece of ribbon and a couple of Prima flowers to finish.

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!!!

Flower Power!

Don't you just love these ickle Funky Fairy's????


This one has been coloured using Sakura Souffle pens. The flowers have been made with 2 sizes of daisy punch...and the top layer is plain vellum, which I smudged lime chalk ink over.

Roses are Red....

I thought I'd have a go at the Papertake challenge this week...it is this..........
This weeks challenge, 'Roses are Red..' is to use red on your card! Any shade or shades of red that you like from bright pillar box to deep burgandy!!

This is my effort...which I am going to donate to Linda_E for her charity. I know how much Valentine's day meant to little Tia ...this is for her xxxx

The backing papers I've used are from Raspberry Road. The 'Love' stamped image is from the 'doodles for daniel' range, and has been coloured with a red Sakura gelly roll pen and Fired Brick Distress ink. I have then used my Versamark pad and embossed it with a frost embossing powder (I'm not sure where from).
Maggie, has been coloured using watercolour pencils and her balloon is a heart shaped brad. Two red snaps have been put down in the bottom left to balance it a bit and red ribbon tied round two of the letters.

The Lady In The Cape...

This is a card I have made for a friend starting a new job soon...not your average 'Good Luck' looking card but it's very 'her'

I've made this using an image from Tanda Stamps http://www.tandastamps.co.uk/ and filled in with Glaze pens, Gelly roll glitter pen and Marvy le Plumes. I have then cut it out and mounted it on black card dusted with a green lustre...eyeshadow!!!

The very best of luck in your new job Linda x x x
