WINTER WONDERLAND

Hi all, this will probably be my last card posting for 2015, I have my mum coming to stay with me today until the New Year so I will be quite busy making sure she is comfortable and keeping her fed and watered, lol, seriously she is no problem at all, she tries to help out as much as she can but her favourite thing is to cuddle Jess and to eat my Christmas cake she is doing so good for a 96 year old youngster.

My card share today is a new digi image to me she is called Snowflake from Star Stampz on Esty 

I treated myself to a couple of these little beauties and decided to colour this one up first.

I have used both Graph It Markers and Spectrum Noirs as well as Copics, I added sparkle to the snowflakes and to her dress, the papers are LOTV both image and papers have been mounted onto silver mirri card, I added a couple of punched snowflakes and some blue beads in a bottle.

BUTTERFLY PRINCESS

 Hi all, I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas with lots of pressies from Santa and fun with the family.

I have been doing some crafting and this is one of the items I made, it is a 7" x 7" Kraft card using an image from Connie Fong called Butterfly Princess, I got her long before Sweet Pea Stamps closed their doors, fortunately Connie has decided to sell her images by way of Esty I believe the shop will open at the end of January but until then she does have a Facebook Challenge going, this information I got from Aussie Annie who I visit frequently her work is fantastic 

Anyway back to my card, I coloured the image with Copics and Spectrum Noirs (hair), I have added glitter and sparkle both to the image and the edge of the papers, the papers are Bearly Mine and I distressed the edges with my scissors and TH Vintage Photo Ink, I added some pink pearl flowers, double white organza bow, heart, butterflies and a stamped sentiment.

RAGGEDY DOLL-ADORABLY YOURS

Hi all, today I have a card to share with you a 'just because' card.

I have used an image that I got from 

MISS DAISY STAMPS

she is called

RAGGEDY DOLL - ADORABLY YOURS

I so love Rag Dolls and have one sitting in my living room she is called Jess and has her name embroidered on her dress.  I also love porcelain dolls and have a huge collection of about 50 that I have collected over the years, due to lack of space they are packed away in the attic carefully wrapped, a couple of them are about 3' tall, one is a bride, most of them I can even remember where I bought them from or who gave them to me as a birthday presents.

Anyway onto my card, I have gone for a red and white colour theme, I coloured the image with Graph It Markers and Copics then added some Spectrum Noir Overlay sparkle, I managed to get hold of a pack before they were all sold out, you may be able to see the sparkle on her dress........or not.

I cut her out, shaped her and adhered to the card with silicone glue, the papers are Bearly Mine and have been mounted onto white card stock the base card is a red 6" x 6" scalloped, I added a sentiment, sparkly red hearts, flower display and white Royal Lace heart doily.

You may have noticed my new watermark that I am so thrilled to have I have been looking for ages to get some new ones and where did I get it you may ask............at MISS DAISY STAMPS

she does several designs of watermarks they are brilliant.
