Christmas Robins

 

Hi Lovely Blogging Friends..

I'm here with probably my last make before Christmas (I say probably!! hehe)..  using one of the new images from All Dressed Up.  This image is called Christmas Robins (for obvious reasons), and is one of four fabbie new images from Wendy.  It's a really easy image to use, with very little colouring.

Quinn ready for her Winter Walk...

 

Hi Lovelies...

How're you all doing?  All ready for what's nearly here??? LOL!

Our theme this week for this week's Bellarific Friday was Winter White...  well this spoke only one stamp to me...  so out came one of the Uptown Girls Quinn and Her Boots..  she's just about ready for her winter walk I think - all wrapped up and ready to go!

I decided to stamp her in light grey so it looks a bit 'no lines' but not quite!  And then I also decided to go with the colours on the pack..  well, why change what looks so good??  A bit of embossing and a few white layers, and I had my card...

Card Info:

Image and Sentiment - Stamping Bella Quinn and Her Boots

Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug

Colouring - Copics

Reds: R27/46/39

Greens: YG95, G82/89

Skirt: T2/5/7

Snow - B60

Shading - N0/1/2/3

Glitter

I did the sentiment AFTER I'd finished the colouring and stuck the card together...  I took a VERY deep breath, got out my MISTI - and went for it! Phew... it worked!

Hope you like - and that you'll join in the Bellarific Friday fun.  For our theme next week, we have the above photo inspiration - use it any way you like...  then either link your card on the Stamping Bella blog, or email it directly to emily@stampingbella.com - she'd love to see it!

Sad news at In The Pink...

Hi Lovely Bloggers...

Today it's the turn of In The Pink for a new challenge... and I have some very sad news..  this is to be our last challenge as we're closing up the doors of the Pink Palace.

Such sad news for me as I started up this challenge more than five years ago now  - it's been my (pink) baby - and I've loved every minute of sharing my passion for all things pink . I've had some fabulous Pink Ladies join me along the way too and have made some life long friends.  But the time has come, as we've been getting fewer and fewer entrants, and sometimes our winners don't even claim their prize!  So with a very heavy heart, I took the decision that it was time to call it a day.

To go out with something special - I chose to use this Sugar Nellie image which has features heavily in my Christmas makes over the last few years..  I adore this gorgeous little Elf from Sugar Nellie.

Card Info:

Image - Sugar Nellie Elf Made Magic (no longer available)

Die - Lil' Inkers Stitched Rectangle

Sentiment - Paper Smooches Christmas Sampler

Paper - Scrap from Stash

Colouring - Copics

Skin - E000/00/11, R20

Hair - E23

Pinks - RV00/52/63/55

Greens - YG23/63

Wings - B60

Shading - B60, C0/1

Sequins and Glitter

I printed out a second image and fussy cut a spare set of wings (I hate doing that to a fairy!), and made them 3D on my image - so it really does look like the fairy is ready to fly off the page!

Hope you'll join in with our last challenge if you can... we'd like to go out with a BANG!!!  Click on the link above to go straight to the challenge.

OK, now I'm off to blow my nose and sit with a tissue all day!

Big hugs
