Some Cards and News to Share

Hi all the first bit of news I would like to share with you is that I was chosen as one of the new DT at 

THE PAPER SHELTER

I was thrilled to pieces when I was told that I had been chosen, I am both so proud and honoured to  be part of the team and to get the chance to work with their beautiful images.

Some of you may have already noticed that I am also a new DT of the 

CRAFTY SENTIMENTS TEAM

I feel that I am truly blessed to have been given such a wonderful opportunity to work with both these challenge blogs, the wonderful ladies and beautiful images.  I hope that I will live up to all the expectations and create some projects which I hope will inspire you.

I have some cards to show you that I have been quietly making, the first is from Ooh La La and is one of their Plate images/decoupage.  My mum asked me to make a card for my sister's wedding anniversary and I know that she like this colour and I felt I wanted it to be a bit extra, hence the project below.

I did a lot of cutting out and really enjoyed it, For the plate I surrounded the edge with AB Crystals the scroll sentiment is also from an Ooh La La CD, on the prints there was also some scalloped circles which I cut out and used for the matching card, the corners are a stamp that I just bought from Clarity Stamps, the ticket is also a stamped sentiment from Crafts 4 You, the pack was on a special reduction. 

I would like to enter this project into the challenge at MAWTT-Blooming Marvellous

My next two cards are showcasing some recently released stamps from CRAFTY SENTIMENTS

the first one is called Kai, I coloured her with Copics, the papers are from Fancy Pants called Beach Bum, I used white card to mount the papers on then made a little lifeboat ring, the sentiment is from Cuddly Buddly I used Momento ink, the stars are from a X-Cut Star Shaped Die Cut, I also added some clear gems.

The next release is called 'He Loves Me' I used Copics to colour this little beauty, the papers I believe are Basic Grey but don't quote me on that' I have used a new corner Die Cut, Marianne Heart Die Cuts, stamped ticket sentiment, pearls, flowers and ribbon. 

Well that's it from me today on the posting front although I will be around to do some commenting later, I hope that you all have a lovely weekend, hugs to all.

Time for Tea Guest DT

Hi all I am rather late posting this first card, unfortunately the 24hr of feeling unwell has turned into something that has lasted alot longer, however, I wanted to show you two cards that I have made the first being a Guest DT at Digital Delights.  

I was over the moon when I was chosen as the winner of the top 3 from last weeks challenge, the reward was a free image and this weeks GDT.  The image I chose was 'Its Time For Tea Booboo', I love him to bits, I coloured him with Copics then cut him out and used silicone glue to mount him onto my card.  The papers are from Bearly Mine Simply Spots, I distressed the edges and then added Pearls, gems, flowers, butterflies, gold stickles, two shades of organza ribbon, pins, pearl hearts, heart doily and finally a sentiment. 

 I think the colours have helped give this a slight vintage/shabby chic look which I love so much, and always admire when I see it on my fellow crafters blogs.

If you would like to see my short bio and a real picture, albeit many years old, then please pop over to the Digital Delights Blog HERE.

My second card has taken me awhile to complete and I am not sure that I am happy with it, it didn't seem to turn out how I envisaged but wanted to post it anyway.

I have used one of my beloved Tilda stamps inked with Momento Black Tuxedo ink, then coloured with Copics. The papers are again from Bearly Mine Simply Dots set, I used my rectangle die cuts for Tilda, I added lace, gems, flowers, star, and pink organza ribbon and sentiment.

I have used papers and images from the Silhouette collection and have gone for a black and white theme.  The papers have been mounted onto black card stock, I have used the same card stock for the band which is topped with white ribbon and black gems, I punched some black butterflies and white leaves.  The leaves I have put behind the black flower which is from my stash, I added a sentiment and some more gems around the card.
