ROSES IN BLOOM

Super quick card today, after all that craftiness yesterday! Just got home from work to finish this one off.

The image is from Delicious Doodles and I just wanted a quick and simple card. I've added the sentiment on my PC before printing, and coloured in the rose and butterfly. To really make the rose POP, I've added some Glossy Accents.
That's it! Job done!

DREAM A LITTLE DREAM

Last one for today, promise!
It's another Lacy Sunshine one; this little cutie is called "Anastasia with Poppies". I wanted to give her a dreamie look so I've blended my Promarkers really well to make her clothing look a bit "washed and well worn"!
I've used another die, which I love, because I can thread ribbon through it! There's also a die-cut swirly!
The backing paper is from Nitwits "Harvest Delights" collection and the DREAMy letters are Nitwits "Alphawits-Love Letters".
Flowers and pearls and all other loveliness is from my stash!
Hugs (and Night Night!)

OH HIPPY DAYS....

I know! Another post!
I have got the day off today...been crafting lots, with a teensy weensy bit of housework in between.
This card is made using Eleanor Hippie Chick from Lacy Sunshine. She is soooooo ME!
I've coloured her in with Promarkers and cut around the image with a die-cut (don't know what it's called because I threw away the packaging!).
I've layered up papers from Papermania, with some frayed burlap and a doily. The flowers, ribbon and pearls are from my stash.
I've made two other cards today....might be another post yet!
Hugs

POPPIES ON FIRE

Hi everyone!
I've got a bonus day off work today so I'm a happy crafting bunny!
I think my love of poppies has hit a new high! This digistamp is from the absolutely fantabulous Aurora Wings and she is called "Elf with poppy blooms". Isn't she gorgeous?
I spent most of last weekend in bed with man-flu but did manage to do some colouring. I spent about six hours on this beauty, and I love it! I am an avid fan of Alyce Keegan (THE QUEEN of colouring , in my opinion), you can find her blog here. I watched one of her many tutorials, and thought I'd have a go, venturing into new worlds of colouring. I've conquered a few of my colouring fears and also been a little adventurous with my colour combos (listed below).
I have made a very simple card with my little elf....I didn't want the image to be lost under lots of embellishments. She is simply layered up onto red and green card, wrapped in some twine, and a little poppy added.
Hope you like her!
Promarkers used:
Skin: Coral, Sunkissed Pink, Oatmeal and Blush
Hair: Walnut, Tan and Ivory
Green bits (inc eyes): Petrol Blue (yes, BLUE!), Olive Green, Pear Green and Pastel Beige
Poppies: Poppy, Burnt Orange, Honeycomb and Walnut (yes, WALNUT!)
Thanks for looking

GETTING SENTIMENTAL AT CRAFTING FOR ALL SEASONS

Hi everyone. Hope you are all well.
I'm here today with my DT make for  Crafting for all Seasons where the theme for the next fortnight is "sentiment as focus". So we want you to choose a sentiment and use that as the main focal point of your project.
I have used "Warm winter wishes" digi from Inky Impressions, our fabby sponsor for this challenge.
I printed the image onto white card, then measured the "square" it occupied. I then took a piece of double-sided patterned paper and cut a piece approximately 4cm bigger than the sentiment "square".
Next, I measured out the central square and centre point, and carefully cut back to each corner; this gives you the four triangular flaps to fold back and attach to the layered background. Hope that makes sense! It really is easy to do but hard to explain!
I finished the card of with some gem-centred snowflakes.
Now it's over to you....Let's get Sentimental!
Hugs
