Hi Lovely Blogging Buddies... (and you ARE, you know..)

Today it's another fabulous new challenge at In The Pink...  this time our theme is PINK AND PEARLIE!

I'd fallen in love with this gorgeous fairy from A Day for Daisies when I spotted her a little while back... so I knew she's be perfect for my card this time...  She's definitely as I said in my title, BOOT-A-LICIOUS!   Don't you just love the song 'All about the Bass..' by Meghan Trainor... (listen to the words..) well... this fairy is definitely 'all about the bass!!'  

I did love shading her wonderful shape... and those fabulous wings!  But do you think she is TOO pink?  IS there such a thing???

Hi Blogging Friends...

You're going to get tired of me this week, so I'll keep this one short and sweet!  Here's my Sugar Nellie Inspiration card for you using one of the new Scrapberry Stamps - this one is Strawberry (for obvious reasons if you look closely!)  I used some dotty pink paper I had in stock to create the frame and added some glitter stickles around the edge.  I raised the frame up with some 3D foam tape.

"Abby Birthday"

Hi Blogging Buddies...

Hope you're all well in this chilly weather!

It's my turn to bring you a card for Whimsie Doodles - this time I chose to use one of this month's new releases - this is Birthday Abby and can be found HERE.  Isn't she just such a cutie?  I was also tempted to use a colour that I don't normally go for as you know... yellow...  but it seemed to suit her personality!  OK, I confess...  every image I colour takes on a personality and gives me hints on which colours to use...!!  Will you send for the men in white coats now?? LOL!

Hugs and Kisses....

Hi Lovely Blogging Friends....

I seem to be on a colouring roll at the moment...  you know when you can't wait to get in your craft room and colour ANOTHER image??  That's kinda how it is with me! Unfortunately, the dreaded (shhhhhhhhh) housework is suffering...  but hey... the dust will still be there tomorrow - so I'll actually be saving myself time... yes??  Well that's my logic!

I was having a Tiddlyinks moment... I have seen some beautiful Tiddlyinks Creations recently, so dug into my bulging computer files and saw amongst all my other Tiddlyinks images,  this gorgeous little fairy..... Fairy Tenderhearted...  oooh she's just soooo cute - and she flew out at me, whispering about a lovely new die that's (ahem...) landed in my stash recently and saying that she'd like to be placed sitting above said die... so who was I to argue??

I nearly left it a bit too late - but have made it by the skin of my teeth!

Soo...  that's me done for today... but I'll be back soon!

All of my Heart....

Hi Peeps....

Hope you're all well and that you've stayed safe with the awful weather over the last couple of days..  I do hate the wind more than any other weather.... it's the noise that gets to me!

OK, I'm here with a CAS card to show you today.  Recently my attention was drawn to images from Art By Mi Ran - and how on earth I hadn't seen them before, I have no idea!  ANYWAY...  I had to rectify the fact that I hadn't used one..  so here you go!  This one is 'All of My Heart' - available HERE.

Again, I didn't think she needed more than I gave her in the way of embellishments so she's CAS...  and please note, there is NO PINK on this card... apart from the blush on her cheeks! (Her shoes are 'light red LOL!)  I did glossy accent the hearts..  but like always, difficult to get them to show on the photo... you'll have to use your imagination!

Colours Used

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Hair: E23, E25, E29

Coat and Bag: G21, G82, then changed my mind and went for W5, W7 over top

Shading: B0000, B000

Hope you like what I did with her!

Big Hugs..

Sweet Stamping - Girly but no Pink

A little cutie at In The Pink...

Hi Lovely Blogging Friends...

Today it's time for another challenge at In The Pink - and it's an ANYTHING GOES challenge so nice and easy!

I chose to use yet another little cute image (think I'm falling in love and finally finding my 'thing'!)  This little lady is from CC Designs Pollycraft - and is called Sugar...  hmmm, I think that title is self-explanatory as she's soooooo sweet!

Now I decided to do a shaker card... but wanted the aperture to be totally see- through instead of the usual white background - and I've tried to take some photographs to show what I've done.  There are two layers of acetate, but without the usual foam pads so it doesn't have too much depth - just enough depth for the sequins and stars to float around in!  The first layer of acetate was added behind the pink layer - and the second on to the front of the card (after the circle aperture was diecut through both the pink and white together - to ensure it being in the right place!)  Then I added some thin double sided tape around the aperture to keep the sequins inside!

And because the aperture is see through, you can't just print or write a sentiment on the inside of the card as it can be seen!

So... I printed out the inside sentiment and made another little plain folded card shape... that lifts up to show the sentiment! Does all that make sense??  Hope so!
