Snow White

Hello :)

Before I share today's card with you I just want to say Thank you to all of you who voted for my Easter projects over at InStyle Stamps blog because I was the lucky DT member who won :) Be sure to check out the post here to see if you are the lucky winner of the Labels 10 nesties ;0)

Right today's card is a sneak peek of the upcoming release from Pixie Dust Studios 'Princess Parade' and they are stunning. Snow White was always a favourite of mine so I decided to use this fab image.

 I really wanted to be bright and bold with this one with the colors being primary and strong. Can you believe I didn't use any DP just plain card?? Well I think it worked to really focus on the image rather than the paper and I am so pleased with the outcome. The button started out white but I covered it with navy blue embossing powder and heat embossed it a couple of times to get it to match perfectly.

  Check out the DT blogs to see more wonderful sneak peeks and the release day is 1st April ;0)

InStyle Stamps Chipboard Challenge

Hi Guys,

Firstly I apologize for not visiting your blogs recently but Harvey was unwell last week with a virus and this week we have builders in for a few weeks knocking out 1 of the bedrooms which we have never used and one of our toilets upstairs into 1 big room and also another bedroom which as ended up turning into a much bigger job than what we anticipated. We was just wanting the old picture rail and skirting boards taken off and re-skimming but the whole wall came tumbling down! We are really in a mess! Our bedroom is now shared with 2 little monkeys at the moment so a lot of snoring going on! lol

Anyways today it's time for a challenge over at the InStyle Stamps Blog and this Wednesday's challenge was set by Linda and she want's to see 'chipboard' on your creations.

 I have used Ava here for my card and and used my new MS punch around the page punch. Currently a few of the collections including Ava's are being retired........but only in digis as they are being made in rubber so you can grab yourself a fab bargain :0)

I have added a DCWV chipboard sentiment and added stickles to the tip of Ava's wings and the icing.

Linda has created a beautiful project over at ISS which you can check out here.

This weeks prize is 3 digital stamps of your choice ;0)

All you have to do is leave your direct project link via Mr. Linky by no later than 11:59 pm PST on Tuesday, March 30th. The winner will be announced on Wednesday.

Good Luck ;0)

InStyle CAS #7

Well It's time again for this months sketch with Club Anime by InStyle Stamps. I really enjoy a sketch and find it really helps me make my card quicker than usual because I'm following a layout. Are you guys the same or do you prefer to just go with the flow?

 For my card I have used a brand new stamp called 'Eula' who will be available to purchase on the 5th of March. I adore this image and really enjoyed colouring the balloon which I also think would look  great paper pierced. To receive your 5% discount from any InStyle Purchase be sure to use the InStyle Links on my blog ;0) I made the sentiment myself using AI and cut it out using my new favourite set of nesties 'Trio Tags' these are so handy.

 Here is the sketch for you to follow if you wish to join us and give yourself a chance of winning goodies. It's a nice and easy one too this month and we would love you to enter. For all the details please check the Club Anime blog.

Easter Lily

Good Evening Guys,

Firstly I  haven't been around since last Thursday because my keyboard died on me for my Apple imac :0( I only received my replacement yesterday so I have lot's to share with you over the next few days.

Here is a card I made for InStyle Stamps with a brand new release from the Anime images on Friday. 

 This cutie is called Lily and she was a dream to colour. I knew immediately which paper I wanted to use and it is from an old set from a few years ago by Papermania. InStyle stamps have released quite a few new images not only in the Anime range but also the Retro  and they are all gorgeous. 

 Please be sure to use any of the InStyle links in this post to receive a 5% discount off any purchase from the store.

Goodnight from me ;0)

InStyle OTHBCGA - St.Patricks

Good Evening,

This is my second post of the day and this time I am sharing my creation for this month's Over the hump blog candy give away at InStyle stamps blog. The theme this month is St.Patrick's and at first I was really unsure what to create. After looking through my InStyle collection I decided to use the adorable  'Ava leaning' whom I love to colour. 

 I thought she would work perfectly with the new 'Huge circle sentiment set' from The Cutting Cafe'. After removing the background from Ava I merged her on top of the circle sentiment and she looks like she was made to sit there! lol. I then cut the shaped card using my scalloped circle nesties.

I love this New leaf copic color green it is so fresh and vibrant and perfect for a St.Patrick theme and I managed to find some card in an almost perfect match. Again the spots on Ava's dress were created using my blender pen.

Pink Flamingo - Sneak peek

Hi All,

I am so excited to share this card with you today because it is a sneak Peek of Thursday's New release 'Paradise' from Pixie Dust Studio.

 The images are all fab and you can have so much fun colouring them in. I decided to use this Flamingo to start with because I thought you could really go to town with nice bright colours and sparkle. I just wanted to share that the white spots you see a lot of on my creations isn't paper piercing it is just my copics blender pen. I just dot around on certain parts of my image and it removes ink from that spot. I am a bit obsessed if you haven't noticed lol. It really does look like paper piercing though.

I have also used my new fashion buckles nesties which I have had for a while but never used. Again the flower is from flower creations and I just added a button after clipping off the back to make it nice and flat.

 Do check out the other Pixies blogs because we are all doing sneak peeks and you will get a chance to see more of the fab images.

Tori also makes them for her gorgeous creations which you can find here. I love this set because you can just place 1 sheet of paper on the die and it will cut out all the pieces in one go. I then sponged ink on the embossed parts of the flower.

Mo's Digital Pencil - Patience

Today I want to share a card I've made using a new image I have purchased from Mo's Digital Pencil.

I was browsing through some of my favourite blogs for a little inspiration and this is where I found a link to Mo's store.

As soon as I started browsing through the beautiful images I knew I would be purchasing quite a few and this one is one of them called 'Patience'. I love this sweet little image and couldn't wait to colour it in. For a change I decided to use my neglected Derwent Coloursoft Pencils because  thought they would work well this image. I followed this sketch from A Spoonful of Sugar. I will be sharing more creations made using these fabulously adorable images.

The sentiment is from a set over at The Cutting Cafe' called 'Valentine Family and Friends'.

Double Sweetness Club Anime Sketch

Good Afternoon Guys,

Here is my card for this month's sketch over at Club Anime.   I was so excited to use this adorably sweet image of 'Sally and her kitten'. If you use this link you will receive a 5% discount off any of your purchases ;0) Here is the sketch for you to follow which I think is a nice and simple one. Please check the Club Anime for all the details.

 

It was so nice to colour in but I did make a boo boo when I decided to colour the kitten in using the slate coloured Copic! Oh dear what a mess I made :0/ Anyway in the end I decided to print out the image again and cut out the kitty and stick it on my original image.

After I used the blender pen to push some of the colour back in the line I thought it looked OK. Well I definitely need some practice with the darker colours after that experience but that's the great thing about Copics and the blender pen you can rectify any small mistakes ;0)The sweet little sentiment is from a new set over at The Cutting Cafe' called 'Twins' but I thought this sentiment worked for this image too making the set very versatile.

I have also entered this card into the following challenges:

InStyle Blog Hop

Hi Guys,

Today it's time for the InStyle Blog Hop and if you have arrived here from the wonderful Cyndi's blog then you are on the right track. The theme this month is 'Hearts' and with Valentine's day being so close it's the perfect time to start making those projects for someone special ;0)

I have used a new release called 'Kristina' and she is adorable. You can buy her here and  also receive a 5% discount by using this link making it a real bargain ;0)

I decided to make a memo holder which I originally found a tutorial here for and I'm really please with the outcome. I just cut x2 pieces of chipboard and covered them with DP and then added x2 pieces of ribbon to attach the 2 pieces together. A very simple but effective project.

 We would love you to play along with us and you could win a super prize so please check the InStyle blog here for full details. 

I would also really appreciate your vote if you like my project ;0)
