Crafty Creations ... cakes and cream!

This is the last card that I will be doing for my guest DT stint at Crafty Creations...thanks for inviting me Shelly!

 This week's challenge is to make a card featuring cakes or ice cream.  Claire at Stitchy Bear Stamps very kindly let me use this gorgeous cupcake and hearts from Magical Fairy Birthday.  Come and play along with the challenge HERE ... you could win four digi images from Stitchy bear stamps!

Sorry for the dark photo, but its a horrible damp dark evening here, in fact its rained almost all day (...but hey, it saves me having to water the garden!)

It doesn't really show in the pic but the hearts are all popped up on dimensionals, and the cupcake wrapper is sort of popped up too (I stuck the bottom of the wrapper with DST and then popped the top bit up on dimensionals ... does that make sense???)  Coloured with copic markers and Glossy Accents and Dazzling Diamonds added to the cupcake frosting.

Sketch from Sketch Saturday #109

Supplies:

Image: Magical Fairy Birthday from Stitchy Bears; sentiment is stamp from Simon Says

Paper: Papermania 'Sweet Nothings'

Accessories: Pink Gems; dimensionals; copic markers; Glossy Accents

Crafty Creations ... We want to see you shine!

This week's challenge at Crafty Creations is to bling it up!  I used this fun owl from Fresh Brewed Designs and popped his sombrero up on dimensionals.  For my shine I added LOADS of Diamond Glamour Dust to the owl and to the brad in the flower and then blinged it up with some little gems in pink, white and pale blue.  There's also a lovely shimmer off the DP.  

If you'd like to play along, pop over to Crafty Creations - the more the merrier!  (We're being sponsored by Fresh Brewed Designs this week and the winner of the challenge will get to choose three images of their choice.)

Crafty Creations ... add some stitching

This week's challenge over at Crafty Creations is to add some stitching (real or faux) and as Guest Designer for June I was lucky enough to get to play with this cute cow pic from Whimsey Stamps - dont'ya just love the expression on the Mummy cow's face!

There was very little effort required to colour the image - just scribbled in some grass, sponged some clouds for the sky, coloured the hooves and added a little grey for a bit of shadowing on the cow.  Embossed a little side panel, doodled round the edges and added a bit of faux stitching and ... Ta Da, Done! Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!  So if you have 20 minutes to spare why not play along with the Crafty Creations challenge too!

Its Child's Play!

Crafty Creations challenge this week has the theme of Child's Play and as Guest Designer for June I got to play with this cutie from Meljen's Designs.  Isn't she just the sweetest dolly ever!  I coloured her with copic markers and hand doodled a border to match the 'stitching' in the image.

I took my sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp #29 and used a bow instead of a sentiment so that this could be an 'any occastion' card.

Colour theme of baby pink and pastel blue from Colour Create #46

Footballing Dude

If you've been over to the Crafty Creations Challenge blog, the eagle-eyed among you might have noticed that I'm their guest designer for June ... how cool is that!  I hope you'll play along with us - there's some really fab challenges this month.

This week's challenge is to use Black and White with a splash of red.  I usually find black and white cards so difficult to make but I'd just received this little footballer and thought he'd be perfect for the challenge.  He's supposed to be in this season's Manchester United colours, though their shorts are white with a red stripe and they just didn't look right, so I just re-designed their kit for them!
