Citrus

I love this card, although I say it myself, the image is from M&M Designz which I have coloured with Prisma pencils & Sansador.
Flower is Sugar Blooms by Prima & the leaves are a Nellie Snellen punch.
Added ribbon, pearls & button, with sentiment from a K & CO kit from QVC, which is coloured with acrylic paint as is the edges of the image.
I have entered this into 3 challenges
Cute Card Thursday Had to use ribbon
DareU2digistamp Had to use pearls
Cupcake Crafts Had to show friendship or friends on the card

Anything Goes

This was to be my entry for the Digital-Ink challenge "Anything Goes" on Monday. the stamp is by Stitchy Stamps.

I cut a diagonal from the right hand side of the card & then stuck it to the front to give a different card opening.

Various backing papers from stash, mat & layered into silver mirri card, added Prima flowers & sentiment made in Word.

Coloured with Prisma pencils & Sansador.

Digital-Ink Co

Well sadly Digital-Ink have closed their doors today due to circumstances beyond their control, and are unable to carry on at present.

I wish her & her family well for the future.

Dragonfly

This is an image by Daisy Doodles which can be bought at Digital-Ink Co which is glittered with Art Glitter Monochromatic Black & Glamour Dust (difficult to see in photo). Mat & layering is using white card & Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder with Dovecraft Charcoal print paper. Threaded pearls onto wire & draped around topper. Sentiment is Cuttlebug strip inked with Stazon to give a distressed look.

I have entered this card into 4 challenges Daisy Doodles where the challenge is to use black & white. Lexi creations where "Anything goes". Papertake Weekly where you have to follow a sketch and lastly A Spoonful Of Sugar where you had to use distressed inks if you have them, glitter & pearls.

Yellow Bee

This afternoon I was stuck in as we had snow, so was playing around & got out my Cuttlebug folders. I started with the flowers & swirls folder & ran a black ink pad over the embossing to distress it, then glittered some the flowers to give accent.

Used a second Cuttlebug folder in black & glittered the petals using Art Glitter "Lemone" & used the same backing paper (from stash) to accent the middle of flower.

Image is coloured again from Prismas & Sansador & is available from Digital-Inkco and is by Stitchy Stamps. The yellow band is cut using Martha Stewart Around the Page "Rings"

I have entered this into The Pink Elephant challenge where you must follow the sketch.

Digital-Ink Co Challenge 17 "All about peace"

Can you believe another 2 weeks have passed & here we are with another challenge running from 22nd February to 1stMarch, (yes its weekly from now on). this time all about peace. It could be a play on words or anything that gives you peace for example, so get your thinking caps on & click the link in my side bar & go on over & take part. The prizes are well worth winning as you can see.
For my example, I started out by Googling "peace" quotations & came up with this one from Mother Theresa & thought I could make it fit this stamp by Beary Dust which is available at Digital-Inkco and costs $2.00.
I looked on Greetings Card Factory & found this image of doves which I printed directly onto card & decoupaged the ribbon & also glittered in appropiate places. I then cut out a square from the front of the card & glittered around the edge to make a frame & stuck acetate into the opening.
Image coloured with Prismas & Sansador & placed as if she is leaning out of the window. She has a smile a bit like the Mona Lisa, hardly there at all, but just enough to make the point.
Now do you want to see more of these stamps? Then subscribe to the Digital-Ink weekly newsletter, where you will get to see new releases, get a free stamp each week & get to hear of the sales & offers in the store.
