Aimee's Rainbow card

Aimee who is 4 wanted to make a card for our friend who often brings her eggs from his chickens, she saw me colouring this image for my card the other day and wanted to make a card with it. She is into using the computer to colour pictures at the moment so this is what she has done for this card. She added some glitter to the gold and the cloud .She picked and stuck down all the papers and embellishment herself the only thing I helped with was cutting the paper.  Hope you like her card she is very proud of it.
I would lie to enter her card into One Stitch At A Time challenge this week which is Rainbows.

Autumn colours

I seen a few challenges for Autumn colors on cards so thought I'd give it a go. The papers on this card are a free digi download from Shabby Princess called Vintage Floral. I have distress the edges with scissors and then inked them with distress ink. The green border at the bottom is paper lace that has been coloured with promarkers you can't see in the photo but I have added a tiny gold gem in the centre of the flowers.

The image is one Rusty kindly sent me I believe she is from Ladybug Crafts, I have coloured her with promarkers and then chalked around her.

Tooth Fairy Doorhanger

Aimee got her first wobbly teeth this week, I say teeth as she had not one but two which is typical Aimee style she does everything earlier she's only 4. I thought I would make her a little box to put under her pillow for the tooth Fairy, whilst searching the net for ideas I came across the idea of a box on a door hanger. This is my version of it.

I cut out a rectangle of chipboard and then rounded the corners with my corner chomper and cut a circle out with my nesties. On Aimee's orders everything had to be sparkly and pink so I have used papers from MME Penny Lane stack as they are all lovely and glittery.I found a colouring in picture of the tooth fairy and scaled it down to size and coloured it with my promarkers, I added some stickles to her wing and the pattern on her dress. I then added some pale pink gems to the pattern. The tooth has a coat of 3d gloss on it . The poem I found on the net again and printed it out on some white card and then cut to shape with my nesties labels and then added a border of stickles around the edge.

This little box is an origami box made following these instructions, to decorate I have the punched a circle from the DP and added a pretty brad  to use as a handle and put some pink gems in the corners.
Just in case you were wondering one of Aimee's teeth fell out on Tuesday and the tooth fairy found it very easy to use this door hanger and Aimee now has some shiny pennies to spend.

Old Car

Here's a card that I made for an order, I was asked for a card with an old car on. Straight away I thought of this fab digi stamp, Dodge Tourer 1914, from Stamping Dragon Designs which you can get here. I have coloured the car with promarkers and then added a coat of 3d gloss to make the paint work all shiny.

The papers are a free digi download from Digital Diva Designs I have distressed them and then inked them with weathered wood ink. The letters were cut on my cuttlebug out of some of the paper.

Meet Draggy

Meet Draggy how cute is he, I found him whilst blog hopping and had to buy him straight away as most of you know I'm a sucker for cute little dragons. He is by a company I hadn't heard of before called Spesch Designer Stamps. I have used Basic Grey Lemonade papers for this card, the two smaller buttons are from my stash and the larger one was from Rainmac. The sentiment was stamped on to a piece of basic grey paper and punched with my circle punch and then I have added some doodles around the edge.

Draggy has been couloured with promarkers as usual and I have added some ice grey 1 around the edge of him to make him pop off the page a little.

We are sponsored by Wink Wink Ink who have some fab digi stamps the winner will get their choice of 3 stamps from them. The DT were lucky enough to be given a stamp each to play with. I choose Moon Baby. I decided to make a tent card as I thought this image was just shouting at me to be hung in an aperture, which I cut with my nesties and then added some stickles around the edge. The papers are form Dovecrafts Back to Basics pack, the sentiment was cut on my cuttlebug out of bazill  and covered with stickles. I printed the image twice and coloured them both with promarkers and then stuck them back to back with some cotton stuck between them I've the pushed to cotton through the card base with a needle and tied a small knot at the back. Finally I added a large blue bow out of some ribbon from my stash and some card candy in different shades of blue.

Soft shades of vintage

I saw the challenge Soft shades of vintage on Die Cut Dreams this week and decided to make a card for it. The Dp on this card is from Dovecraft Eastern Promise which you can get from Donna Den here don't forget she is closing down and everthing has 30% off. I afraid the photo really doesn't do the paper justice but this is the best I could get, its a lovely soft green colour and there is soft pink on the flowers. The border is cut from a woodware borde punch and the spotty ribbon is from crafty ribbons. The pins were in my stash from Rainmac this month.

The Tilda image was stamped and sent to me by a friend sorry I can't remember which of you lovely ladies sent it to me. I have as usual coloured her with promarkers and mounted her onto an oval cut from another sheet of paper fromn the same pack.

I have made this flower from some more of the paper cut into scolloped circles with my nesties then I have cut every 4 or 5 scollops to make petal shapes, then I scrunched the paper the make it look shabby. The pearl brad in the centre is from my stash and the metal part is partof another brad that I took apart.
