Stitch It Up At Incy Wincy

 This weeks challenge at Incy Wincy is Stitch It Up and we are sponsored by

 I've kept this card really simple,  the image which is called Umbrella Love is from Tiffany Doodles, I have coloured the hearts with a red promarker and glittered some of the hearts with Stickles and glossed some of them with Glossy Accents. The actual umbrella I have left plain apart from some Faux stitching around the panels. I have embossed the panel behind the image with a cuttlebug embossing folder  and matted it onto some red card, tied a piece of ribbon around the panel and stamped a sentiment straight onto the card blank.

A Tilda Card

This card was for one of Aimee's little friends who's party was this afternoon, I had my orders from Aimee it had to have a princess, be pink and sparkly what else do 6 year old girls want. So I pulled out my princess Tilda stamp and got started. I have used promarkers and flexmarkers to colour her I am loving the pastel shades of the flexmarkers. I've used lots of crystal stickles to give her some sparkle and added a couple of tiny gems on the buckles of her shoes. The papers are MME sorry can't remember which pad and the card blank is from Craftwork Cards as is the sentiment. The butterflies have been punched from MME paper for the bottom layer and then I have added a top layer puched from vellum, I used liguid pearls for their bodies and given them a trail of gems.

Christmas James

 Here's a quick christmas card I made before I was poorly, I used this cute James the Bear stamp from Lili of the Valley coloured of course with promarkers. I added some crystal stickles to his tinsel and glossy accents to the star and the baubles. I think I used a sakura stardust pen on the star under the glossy accents. The DP is from the free MME pack which came with a craft magazine. I punched the red paper with my fiskers border punch and added some little ribbon tags and a sentiment from craft work cards to finish it off.

Fancy Edges at Creative Craft Challenge

 This weeks challenge at Creative Craft Challenge is Fancy Edges and we are sponsored by

I have used a scalloped card blank from Craftwork Cards for the base of my card I have edged it with some glamour dust. I embossed some pearlesant white card with my swiss dots folder.

 The image is a Whiff of Joy stamp called Ice-beary Greetings which I have coloured with promarkers and used my snow writer for the snow. I've die cut the image with a marianne doily die and mounted it onto a circle of white pearlesant card.

Centre Step Card

 I've made this centre step card for my FIL birthday, I used these instructions to make the base, so easy you wouldn't believe. The DP is from a paper cellar pad.

 I've used this incredibly cute stamp set from Kanban this one is called Wooly Bears - Hamish. I've coloured him with promarkers and used a sakura silver pen on his buttons. This set comes with loads of accessorie stamps so I have used the thistle stamp to decorate the side panels, I stamped directly onto the DP and coloured them with my promarkers.

I have made a topper for a bag of halloween sweets. I have used a scallopped square cut from black card folded in half to make the topper which is then taped onto the back of sweets.

I've used this cute little witch from Digital Delights and coloured her with promarkers adding some black glitter to the bat in her hair. I then mounted her on some foam pads onto some circles cut with my nesties. I added some writing and faux stitching with a white gel pen.



Recycling at Incy Wincy

 Sorry my post is late I forgot all about writing it, my excuse is I'm not very well, I've got a nasty chest infection and suspected pleurisy so I'm feeling very sorry for myself at the moment. Anyway onto this weeks challenge at Incy Wincy which is Recycling and is sponsored by  Prairie Fairy. So, you can alter an item, or use something recycled on your project. Please say what has been recycled, so we can easily see it. I've made a desk calender from a CD Case. The papers are from Basic Grey and the calender tab is an Anitas one which I got from The Range.

 I have used this cute image from Prairie Fairy called Cowgirl Gilly who I have coloured with promarkers, I've added glossy accents to her glasses and used liquid pearls for her buttons.

I found this fantastic sentiment which I thought was perfect for a calender on this blog which i printed out onto some of the Basic Grey paper.

GDT at Whimsey Stamps Challenge Blog

I have been asked to be GDT at Whimsey Stamps this week where the challenge is Die Cuts & Punches. I have used this super cute image Christmas Cheer Deer which I have coloured using my promarkers, I have added glossy accents to his nose, antlers & hooves. I've used red flock on his bow so it looks velvety and added sparkle to the bell with a sakura pen. I've mounted him on to some green card cut with my nesties, which I embossed around the edge and again glittered with a sakura pen. The papers are MME 12 days of christmas, I have actually only used one sheet of paper just switched it round at the bottom. I've used a woodware border punch to hide the join in the papers and again glittered all the edges of green card with my sakura pen
