Sir Stampalot and Whoopsie Daisy Challenges for August

Hi all today is going to be exciting with some wonderful challenges starting with the first which  is

 Sir Stampalot and this month we want to see you Bring on the Bling.  The prize as always is awesome as shown in this picture below.  (Please ensure that the rules of the challenge are followed as any that do not meet our requirements will be deleted.) It was lovely to see all the beautiful entries last month the winner and top three will be announced late this month as Brenda is on holiday.

Ok now onto my DT card which I think shows quite a lot of bling.

For my card I have used my 'flower mask' stamp that I got from Stamp Addicts many moons ago but remains one of my favorites.  I decided on a Purple theme, the bp are Basic Grey Wisteria, I coloured the mask with Sakura Stardust pens and added stickles for extra shine.  I mounted the mask image with silicone onto silver mirror card to which I also added some crystal gems, the final touch was to added some purple and sliver card candy.  Below are two pictures showing closer detail.

I punched out some butterflies from the sliver mirror card and added again for extra bling.

Now onto my second DT card for this month's challenge at 

Whoopsie Daisy 

this month Pinky chose the theme of Blue's and Greens

Here is my card.

This is my first ever double pocket card I followed a tutorial at Crafty Ann's HERE and is really so easy it is a beautiful fold and you can add tags or maybe something a little more.

I have used an image from sheet 169 available HERE

The papers are SU I coloured the image with Copics I added a sentiment, gems, card candy and flowers I also made a tag to show the pockets.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my DT cards and I do hope that you will come join us at both challenges this month and for more inspiration please check out the other DT projects 

Sending big hugs to all but please check back later for another DT post.

One Stop Crafts Challenge #91

Hi all today is the start of a new challenge at One Stop Crafts this week Kathryn has chosen the theme Patterns.

There are so many to choose from for example, dots, checks, lines and so many more I chose to use Damask but if you would like more ideas and inspiration then please pop over and check out the DT cards they are brilliant.

Our sponsor this week is Wink, Wink, Wink

and here is my easel card

I have used a new stamped image from Bunny Zoe's  the Bildmalarna range and this is a new image called Little Mimosa Sorry.

I have stamped the image with SU Razzleberry ink and used my Prisma pencils and Sansodor. The papers are from Glenda Waterman's CD, Damask Delights, I managed to print these off before my ink ran out.

I used two sheets from the same design but in different colours I then used my scalloped Nestie to cut out the circles which I embossed with a similar folder.  The bottom nestie I cut two slits in enough to thread my ribbon through I have also added some flowers and Lilac liquid pearls.

Here are two more pictures that give a closer look.

Thank you so much for looking at my work and please come join us at One Stop Crafts Challenge this week.

Hugs to all.

Digital Tuesday Challenge #69 DT Card

Hi all today we have a new challenge at Digital Tuesday and this week our lovely Maria has chosen the theme Dazzle Me.

So what would you like to Dazzle us with gems, glitter, sunshine or just the beauty of your work the theme is open to your imagination and creativity which I know you all have.....I have seen it for myself.

Our sponsor this week is Digital Delights by Loubyloo the winner will receive a $10 gift voucher.

 I have used an image from them for my card it is a new release called Lili the Skunk and I love her to bits. So here is my card I actually made this while still unwell so I hope you like it.

I have used bp from Kaiser 6x6 pad the red is plain but the flower part is all glittered, I actually cut the big flower from the paper/card and have used 3mm foam to lift it from the card, I also did the same with the little purple and pink flowers.  I have added some gems to add even more 'dazzle'.

I took several photos to see if I could show the glitter and I think these two show it better.

I have coloured Lili with promarkers and added star dust stickles to the center of the little flowers and butterfly.

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who joined in my Happy Birthday Challenge last week I was thrilled that we had so many entries.  Please check back later to see who the winner is.
