Daisy In Monochrome

Good evening Crafters I made this card yesterday and for the first time ever I challenged myself to colour the image in onl black and greys and guess what nothing went in the bin woohoo and for a first attempt I think I am quite pleased with it.The challenge on Sugar Nellies facebook page was to use Black and I think there is plenty here lol.I have used papers from Pink Paisley,promarkers to colour,black pearls from Wild Orchid Craft,Spellbinders fancy tags and a little organza ribbon for the bow.I have followed the sketch from The Sugar Bowl Challenge.Oops almost forgot I used Stickles glitter glue for the flowers and her jean pockets and a random greeting from my stash.

I hope you have all had a great weekend and like my latest creation.

Faith Is The Bird That Feels The Light

Evening everyone a bit of a different type of card for me to share tonight I finally got this stunning Bird cage die and it arrived a few days ago and of course I was so excited when it arrived especially as it was a prize i chose from my Sir Stampalot voucher from Brenda at Floral Fantasies thanks huni.

Well I am sorry to say I am unsure of the papers as these also were a prize from the lovely Elaine thanks huni I love them so much.

I have distressed the bird with Antique Linen ink and added a small gem for his eye,gems were also used to decorate the birdcage.The sentiment is from a Sheena Douglas set that I also won lol.which has been stamped in vintage photo and distressed with Antique Linen.

omg the flowers and ribbon were also prizes wow this was the cheapest card I ever made the only thing i paid for was the card base wow.The leaves (I paid for the punch) have also been distressed with Antique Linen.

I would love to know what you all think.

A Different Style For Me

Evening everyone I hope you have had a great day I have just had a lazy sunday playing with my stamps and made two cards today.This one is quite different for me look no papers.The top swirly stamp is from personal Impressions I coloured the little leafy parts with promarkers and for sparkle i added clear glitter all over the swirls,I then used a spellbinders die from Heartfelt creations and randomly placed them around then topped them with a gem.Oops I lied I have used papers but only for the flowers lol you know what I mean no matting with paper.

The frame and Thank you sentiment are from an Inkadinkadoo set.I have also glittered this frame and sentiment too,the flowers on the frame are made with a mini xcut punch.

Wow My 3rd Entry

Evening all or should I say Morning its like 2am what am I doing lol.Can you believe that this is my 3rd entry for the sugar bowl and something else that is shameful is this is my only simply sassy stamp and i won this one on Fiona's blog i have some serious catching up to do to collect them all I think i need to buy even more lottery tickets.

I have tried to keep this one quite clean looking as I don't usually colour hair in these crazy colours so wanted the image to be the main focus so i hope i have achieved that.Just noticed her legs look pale in this piccie she needs to go on a hot vacation me thinks.

She has been coloured with promarkers and instead of the usal grey or pastel blue i have gone around the image in lavender as i thought it would look much better what with the purple on the card.I have left the sentiment off until I know who is to recieve this one.

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

The sugar bowl-Kiki's sketch

Crafters companion-Glitter/Glitz

Anything goes-Flowers

Bunny Zoes-Fun in the sun

A Shaped Magnolia Card

Evening everyone I hope you are all well and having a good week.Today I decided to make a simple shaped card and to have a practice at darker coloured skin and i think this magnolia image is perfect for this.

I have coloured her with promarkers and added stickles to the flower, gift and the collar on her dress.The shaped card is from Die cut dreams but you could easily use spellbinders label 7 for this style too.

The greeting is from an inkadinkadoo set which i have stamped onto a circle die and matted onto a scallopped circle die.Glitter was then added to the inner circle around the edge.To finish off i have added some purple rhinestones.

I hope you like it.

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

Make it colourful-Dark skin tones
