Baby Bunny

This is another little image I received in a swap ages ago, and when I 'found' him I thought I would colour him to match my DP. (Looks a better match in real life) Coloured bunny with watercolour pencils and popped up on dimensionals.

Birthday Birdies

I've been 'rediscovering' my old stamps, so I've made a couple of cards with this cute birdie stamp. Couldn't get it to photograph right though, the red has come out very dark in the pic, even after I've adjusted the exposure.

The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #47 is flights of fancy - I have my birdies and butterflies


And Die Cut Dreams challenge #12 is summer - I've used yet again my lovely summery 'Butterflies and Blooms' paper.

Happy Birthday Karen

Stamptacular Sunday's challenge #22 is Scallop Mania. I used my nestabilities for the scallops on the main image and my martha stewart punch for the bottom of the pink panel. Added black stickles to birdies eyes, a few dew drops and a silver peel off greeting. Birdies coloured with Copic markers.

BOO...?

How not scary is this little witch! Received her ages ago in a swap - used my copic markers to colour her, even though I had a fair idea the colours wouldn't really blend right on the card, but it looks OK.
Used my cuttlebug spiders web embossing folder on the purple c/s and the zippy line is a little edge embossing folder that I've NEVER used before (naughty me!)

Do you like my spider? It's just a big black button with googly eyes and black stickles for legs! So not scary as well!

Just Magnolia #20 is buttons and bows

Xmas Napkin holders

I made these little napkin holders for this week's challenge over at Winter Wonderland #14 - Setting the Table.
Its just a simple strip of white cardstock, used my drippy goo punch along one side, added a strip of coloured paper with Merry Christmas stamped on it, and then stapled the edges together. Simples!

The little sheep is a Penny Black stamp and the others are Stampin Up. Added loads of stickles to images for some bling.

Penny Black Saturday challenge #64 is also Christmas.

And Pile it on challenge #13 is round.

Birthday chick

Stamptacular Sunday's challenge #21 this week is 3-D

I popped my balloon up on dimensionals and embossed my background for loads of texture. Stamp from whipper Snapper and button from my stash.

C is for Circles

I was asked to make a card for a guy who likes fishing and this is what I ended up with! I do have a fisherman decoupage sheet somewhere but could I find it! Of course it will turn up now when I'm not looking for it! Some day I'll get my stash properly organised.

ABC challenge this week is C for Circles - I embossed circles on my background - the paper is a silvery blue sparkly colour but it doesn't really show in photo. Fishies from Stampin Up Fishy Friends

My Auntie Minnie's Aunt Lucy's Birthday Card!

I received this Magnolia image in a swap a while ago - thought she'd be perfect for the Copic Buzz challenge #11 - inspired by nature - I have used flowers and butterflies as my nature theme. I love the DP from DCWV Blossoms and Blooms, but managed to cover most of it up with my main image .. duh!
Coloured with copic markers and sparkly butterfly from my stash.

Happy Anniversary

Made this for my sister's wedding anniversary. My other half was in no less than 3 craft shops in Belfast, bless him, looking for 'happy anniversary' peel offs and there's not one to be had in the city!

Christmas in August

Made this for the Simon Says Challenge which this week is Christmas in August. And I {LOVE} how it turned out! I've used my new favourite toy, the drippy goo punch - I've fancied one for ages and justified it as BunnyZoe's shop had it 10% off (any excuse, eh?)

I had been blog hopping last night and found a tutorial on how to make a ribbon flower, but of course I didn't keep the link. Anyway, you make a running stitch along the bottom edge of your ribbon and then pull it tight, but I think I should have used a longer length of ribbon.

Papers are oldies from last year's stash, and the little christmas sheepy (Penny Black) has stickles added to his hat and the mistletoe (though come to think of it mistletoe has white berries doesn't it!) Sheep's head 3-D'd and coloured with watercolour pencils.

Also for the ABC challenge which is B for Buttons

The Creative Card Crew #24 also had Christmas in August as its theme.
