Colour Crazy -Week 35

Good morning, here's my Guest Designer  card for this week's challenge at Colour Crazy. AS always the theme is 'anything goes' so long as it has a hand colouring.
This week the sponsor is Moonflower and I chose to use the beautiful Lilly Ice Skating image,  as usual coloured with my Copics. She’s a lovely image to colour! I used the Copics to create an icy lake for her to skate on with snowy banks and die cut pine trees, I added Wink of Stella to the ‘ice’ and some white Frantage to the sky. Lilly was fussy cut and placed on top. I placed the little scene in a glittery die cut frame, matted onto a large ‘all over’ snowflake diecut (unsure of the make). The glittery die cut skates and  stamped sentiment are attached with a snowflake brad.

There is some wonderful inspiration to be enjoyed over at Colour Crazy Challenges, so please hop over and take a peek!

Thanks for visiting today

Have a great weekend

Good morning, it's New Release Day at Bugaboo, this week's digi is a fun and versatile set of cute and quirky space monsters. I love these block stamps, they're so versatile and great value as they can be used just as they are, cut up and arranged in various ways or enlarged and used as individual images. I needed a quick card for my friend's grandson so this time I used the stamp just as it printed, coloured  it with my trusty copics and a white gel pen with glossy accents on the eyes. I mounted it onto dark blue cardstock and added punched stars for a quick and simple make. I'll certainly be using this image again!

For more ideas using this cute image hop over to Catch the Bug there's loads to see there!

Thanks for visiting,have a good day

Fussy and Fancy Friday- anything goes

Good morning, the weekend is upon us and I'm really happy to share this card with you! I was invited to Guest Design for Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenges (thank you!) . The theme is 'Anything goes'  This is the card I made for my youngest granddaughter's birthday.

Emily loves pink, glitter, princesses and unicorns - just like most 4 year old girls :) The image is from LOTV coloured with copics, I placed her on an easel card, decorated with die cut hearts, bows, bling and glittery die cut sentiments...she loved it!

Thanks for visiting, please take the time to hop over to Fussy and Fancy to see what the super-talented DT have created for you to enjoy- hope you'll be inspired to play along.

Have a fabulous weekend... a nice long one in the UK as it's a bank holiday on Monday!

Smile

Good morning. The theme for our new challenge at Fab 'n' Funky is 'babies', chosen for you by our lovely Susan, there are no sponsors or prizes this week, we're playing just for fun. I chose to use this little sweetie from Mo Manning, just looking at her makes me smile! I coloured her up with copics, paper piecing her romper and parts of her hat (fiddly cutting for the romper but I like the result!) I used  the same papers for my background design, matting them onto red cardstock. The 'smile' blocks were cut from the same paper pad, covered with glossy accents and popped up on foam pads. The little tag diecuts are Sizzix (love these!) The little red hearts are made with Nuvo Crystal Drops (quite proud of these as they all look the same size!)

Hope you find the time to play along with us this week, if you're stuck for inspiration hop over here to see what my fabulous teamies have made.

Good morning, time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin' , this time our theme is 'sport'. I don't have many sports themed stamps...a few football and golf ones, so I was wracking my brain for ideas when I remembered this fun cat stamp, part of a set by Penny Black. The sentiment is part of the same set. 

Please hop over to Sweet Stampin' for more inspiration from the Sweeties, it would be great if you choose to play along this week.

Have a fabulous weekend.
