WOODLAND FAIRY-NOON

Hi all, today I have a card that I made and would like to enter into some challenges which are as follows:

SIMPLY CREATE TOO - USE YOUR STASH (papers, satin card)

I have used an 8 x8 scalloped card base, the papers and card used for mounting are from stash, I have used a digi image called Noon from Crafts and Me coloured with Copics then distressed around the edge with TH Vintage Photo ink, I added gold Viva Decor pearls, I used a dark brown raffia type ribbon, I stamped the sentiment then used a SU square scalloped punch to punch it out then distressed the edges, I used a punch for the butterflies and scalloped border under the raffia ribbon, finally I added two crochet flowers the top one is a coiled flower the one underneath is a 5 petal flower, I used Viva Decor Pearl liquid for the centre.

Many thanks for visiting I really do appreciate it.

PINK BOX WITH FLOWERS

Hi all, today I have a gift box to show you that I made at 2.30am this morning, Jess was unable to settle so I decided to get up and have a go at making a box, it took me over 2 hours but by 5.00am I had finished the box and lid with the papers all measured and stuck down, I got an hours kip then started on the rest of the decor which has taken me most of the day.

I had already crocheted two of the pink 'May Roses' so I crocheted a third one plus two leaves, I decided to add the display on the top of the box adhered to a doily, I also added some gold Viva Decor.

My second picture shows the top of the box looking down on the roses

My 3rd picture shows the yellow flowers that I crocheted a couple of nights ago, I did use a rose for the centre and added a punched butterfly.

My 4th picture shows one of my beloved Tilda images coloured with Spectrum Noirs, I distressed the edge of the oval with TH ink.

The 5th picture shows another of my Tilda images this time coloured with Copics.

My final picture shows a stamped butterfly that I got many years ago and is wood mounted, for the first time ever i used flitter glue and gilding flakes, my nails also turned out quite nice as well, lol.

Well that is the end of the pictures, it has been quite dull here today so I hope that you can see the detail of what I have done with my box.

DRESS UP MARCI

Hi all, I can't believe that I am actually posting for the second time today, if you would like to see my OLLDT card please scroll down.

I have been collecting some new rubber stamps over the last few months from the La La Land range, I fell in love with them some time ago and at first bought a couple of the digi images but I saved up and managed to get some new rubber ones from Bunny Zoe's.

For my card I chose to use 'Dress Up Marci' I got out my promarkers/flexmarkers and coloured her up in a Purple and Lemon colour combo, I then cut her out and mounted her to the card base with silicone glue. I have used Hunkydory card stock for the base card, the centre panel of card I mounted onto purple cardstock I added an extra bow to the bottom of the page, added a sentiment and flower gems, I have used Viva Decor for their centres. With the remainder of the card I also decorated the inside.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

EVERYBODY ART CHALLENGE - BLING

TOTALLY GORJUSS - SPRING SHADES

2 SISTERS CHALLENGE - HATS

DIVAS BY DESIGN - FLOWERS

WORD ART WEDNESDAY - ANYTHING GOES

PASSION FOR PROMARKERS - CUT OUT IMAGES

I do apologise for the colour of the card I took a photo of it in two different places but did not come out as I expected.

Many thanks for dropping by, I hope you like my card and please come back soon.
