We are celebrating  our 1st birthday & would love to see you celebrate with us. Our next challenge is ''Pretty Things'', so lets see your lace, ribbons, flowers & bling.

Robyns Fetish $15 voucher

Phew, now thats done, I can show you what I made by using an image by Lil Diva called Plant Pot, unfortunately she is no longer in the store.

I altered a tin, I covered it with paper, glittered top & bottom & added flowers all around the side with a couple of ribbons. On the top I once more covered with paper, glittered around the edge & mounted a contrasting circle on which to place the image.

I coloured with Prisma pencils & blended with Sansador & decoupaged the image to bring it to life. I also glittered the leaves & some of the flowers.

The DT have done some amazing projects also, so go over to the challenge blog & visit them all, some have blog candy on their blogs to celebrate & some don't, so you need them all to see what you could win.
I have no blog candy this time as I have a big birthday coming up in April & wil be giving away a big blog candy then to celebrate, so stay tuned & you could win that in April.

Spring has sprung, well at least in this house anyway!

Spent last evening colouring in this Tilda & Fence with Promarkers. I followed the sketch over at Just Magnolia & mounted it up with various card & papers from stash. The flowers, ribbon and dew drops are all from my Crafty Feeling monthly subscription which arrived yesterday Happy Birthday was a freebie from Dimension Fourth at the stamping show I went to last Sunday. Cant remember who the leaf punch is by, I punched loads out with my friends punch ages ago. Nesties Labels 2 used for mount.

Japanese Red

On Sunday I went to Stamperama with friends & bought some new new bits & pieces. I bought a Dimension Fourth flower making stamp set, which makes scrummy roses, this Lavinia Stamps leaf stamp. A Little Claire stamp called ''A Place in the Sun'', some Glossy Accents & a Sissix flourish set of dies. I also got some candy & a small punch, again for my flowers. I also bought a load of charms, but cannot remember whose stall they were on.
This card uses the Lavinia leaf stamp, which makes perfect oriental style me thinks. The vine punch is from my local stantioners again, a bargain at £6.00, apparently he gets QVC returns, which is why we are able to get so much craft stuff at great prices.
Japanese Tilda coloured with Promarkers. Top flowers are from Crafty Feeling monthly subscription & the bottom flowers I have made myself. Pearls & charm from stash.

Elephant Edwin

Yesterday I had a friend around for lunch & we spent all day colouring, crafting & eating!!! Fab day. We also went into our local stationers & bought more Promarkers @50p each. I think I can safely say that I have all the colours that they have now & I have around 70 pens. Can't believe my luck, I have waited so long to get any at all, now have loads. Anyway I coloured these in yesterday, Jungle Edwin & Elephant with the Promarkers. The background I created with my alcohol inks & made an evening sky with land on which I placed a template from a CD that people on UKScrappers had created for the Robo several years ago, which I had bought. So cut it out on black card to create a silhouette. Punched the edge with a Martha Stewart punch & added a black ribbon, kept it plain as it is a guys card. I think its made quite an effective background to the card.

Xmas card In February!!!

Yes I know I am mad making Xmas cards at this time of year, but seeing as I am still short of inspiration, I just picked an image from Just Inklined I wanted to colour, called Maude Merry Christmas & went from there. I bought some more Promarkers today at 50p each, so I have about 50 now & all bought at 50p each!!!! It is different colouring with them rather than my pencils, but I am watching the tutorials & will get better hopefully. If not, back to the pencils! There is more shading on the card than can be seen in this photo & you will have to take my word on that..lol. Mind you her boobs look horrid in the camera light, so def more practice needed.
BP used are Bearly Mine and are from the Christmas Sparkle range. I would go so far as to say overall, Donnas papers are the best on the internet & she has some new sets out today, one of which I have on my wish list. I used MCS to print a card using the same colour as in the BP, from which I printed the sentiment, which was a freebie & I also ran the card through the Cuttlebug with a Tim Holtz music folder & distressed it using an emery board. Glittered around the edges with glitter glue. Flowers from Crafty Feeling subscription kit. Doily I chalked around the edges with a pink to tie in with the rest of the card. Martha Stewart punch used embossing snowflake & snowflake punch (maker unknown)
