Dotty!


Thought I would have a go at a different challenge today! So while I had the fairy stamp out I thought I'd make good use of her.
This challenge is called "Dotty!" from the "Allison's Suggestive Sunday Challenge"
I used Hero Arts dotty stamps to make all my backrounds then added a dotty ribbon with a dotty buckle. I then embossed some holographic mirri card with a dotty cuttlebug folder. Part of the challenge is to add dots with a gel pen so I made the fairy dotty too!
Another part of the challenge is to pierce a hole so I did and put a dotty brad in it.
I hope it is dotty enough!!!!!

Pretty Fairy


Another pretty card for today - yellow for a change though!
The stamped image is from rubber stampede. I stamped her in black versarine then coloured her in to make her sparkly with gelly roll pens and stickles.

Back to Basics!


Some very basic cards today but I need to build up my basic stock! For the images I used a page from my scrapbooking calendar - this page really caught my eye cause I thought it would be useful for boys and girls. The background papers are all from DCWV. some words have been cut with a quicktz revolution die.
Basic but very colourful!

Lesley's Birthday Box




Here is the box I made for Lesley's birthday. Well I suppose I didn't actually make it but I decorated it!




I started by colouring the box with dabbers in aqua - I then went round the edges with a copper dabber. Then I stamped the flourish which is a Heidi Grace stamp and covered parts of it in glossy accents. I added gems for a finishing touch. I want one now!! When I find time !


I also made a tiny clipboard which fitted into the box!

Pirates!!!



A birthday card for my husbands birthday next week. I didn't think I should do cowboy boots again so I made him a pirate instead Cool The pirate stamp is from Tanda. I finished it with a photocorner brad.

Day Dreamer!


A very purple card today! I embossed the background with a cutllebug embossing folder. Then I stamped the vellum with dare to dream using a purple stazon pad. The main image of the lady is by Rubberstamped. I matted all the pieces onto holographic mirri card and added a few embellishments.

***Sparkle***


My turn to chose of challenge theme this week for the "My Time to Craft Challenge" so I chose sparkle - well I would wouldn't I?? So I used my cricut to cut the word and the image of me!! Then I added lots of sparkle with gem jewellery. I mounted the girl on brown glitter card for added extra sparkle. Hey presto a really sparkly glittery shiny card !
If you are wondering why I made a card with my own name on it - well it's for my mum to give me on my birthday!!

Sunflower.


I love this stamp infact I love all my stamps that are designed by Linda! I have coloured this sunflower in with watercolour pencils but the colours don't show up very well on the photo! The background card was embossed with a cuttlebug folder and coloured with brown stazon. Of course I finished it off with my usual Smile

Old Father Time


I think I like these extra Sundays - more time to craft!! So with my spare time today I have done Leonie's "Fab Friday Challenge" which this week is "Time." I started by painting a bckgound piece of paper with distress crackle paint in shabby shutters - then I stamped this with the man image from PaperArtsy. I then stamped a pocketwatch and filled it in with crackle accents. The word time was written with brads and old father was written using a dymo letra tag machine. Then I finished it all off with a brad to match and edged the atc with a silver krylon pen.

Party on Down


This weeks "Sunday Stamper Challenge" is "Party Hats!" So seeing as today feels like sunday again I thought I would do the challenge. I started by colouring the whole tag with adirondack pool dabber - then I stamped the image which is from paperbag studios in blue stazon. I really think this boy looks like he could do with a good party! I then stamped the wotds on a seperate piece of card and cut it out and stuck it on. I then coloured his grungeboard party hat with the dabbers and put gold flakes and gems on it. I also put gold flakes down the edge. I finished the tag off with some glossy accents on the little circle at the bottom.

Linda_E's Birthday Book

Here is the little book I made for Linda_E's birthday. The ghost on the last tag was very cleverly designed by Linda_E Smile and I love him !!
