Bearly Mine Designs Card and Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - #7 Pink, Green and Brown

I can not believe that Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog is up to Challenge 7 already! The past few weeks have certainly flown by! The theme this week is Pink, Green and Brown. Here is my take on it! I've used Sugar Nellie 'reflection' and coloured her in using Copics.

The fabulous papers are from Bearly Mine Designs - 'Designer Extreme Vol II CD' - There is so much to choose from, I has great difficulty choosing as they are all favorites!!!

Here's a close up of her, she is sooo sweet, I wonder what she is thinking ?

The charm I added from my shop - Poppy Petal Designs Shop, I've had a play around with the prices now, for clarity - if you would like to have a look and have time, go visit my shop. You can order through eMail, pay through PayPal and the postage for UK buyers is free!

I kept the card simple, becuase the friend this will be going to is not keen on lots of embellies, esp as she is a fellow card maker!

Thanks for popping by!

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - #5 - Mums, the word.

Over at the Stamptacular Challenge Blog the theme for today is 'Mums, the word!' As it is nearing Mother's Day over in the states (already been and gone here in the UK in March) people are planning and making Mother's Day cards to give.

Soooo... I made a card for my mum - but without it being a 'mother's day' card.
I have used Tilda here holding a flower basket, she is sooo sweet!


I coloured using Copics, and highlighted again with Inkssentials opaque pen.
The papers are a freebie from Donna at Bearly Mine Crafts - as a preview for the new release disks Designer Inserts Extreme and Designer Extreme Vol II out on May 5th


The script paper is from Designer Extreme Vol I and thought that it fitted in nicely with the colour scheme.

The flowes are from a Flora Doodle set that I bought the other week. The Brad and Dangling Charm are both from my stash. The Sentiment is from the free stamps with the new creativity magazine out now for Docrafts.

Thanks for looking!

Something a bit new to me! - Stamptactular Challenge Number 3

Over at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge Blog- the challenge was Black and White + ONE other colour! SOoooooo I chose Yellow. I had a canvas lying around (I think its 20x8 inches). I got my trusty old Acrylic paints out, splashed a blob of black on a plate and covered the lot. Not the plate that is, the canvas I covered hehe...I printed off some photos of my baby girl Poppy who will be 8months at the end of the month, and layered her onto black glitter card and plain white card both from my stash...

I then set about stamping out these cute little fellas - Elvin, Egbert and Trump. These cute chaps can be found at Bearly Mine Designs Shop - But you have to be quick. Donna put a post on there and she only as 10 sets left. When they're gone, they're gone!




So I inked up the Elves from Lumas Thorn (there is a really good story unravelling over at the Lumas Thorn Blog too if you're interested!) using my Memento Black Tuxedo Ink.

Egbert

Trump

Elvin

Coloured them using my copics.


I got out my bead kit and used some silver wire and twisted it around a pen and then attatched this silver star charm I bought on e-bay

I coloured my Papermania white flowers Black and Yellow and using Brads from my stash secured them on to the canvas.

The gem hanging from this flower was also from E-bay, the chain was an old fashion necklace I had lying around.

The smaller flowers are from my punches, half pearls from stash

In all this project took me about 3 hours to do and most of that was drying time of paint and glue.
