IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.....DU2DS & PENNY BLACK CHALLENGES..

Well it's been a long time since i posted last and since i did any crafting....Christmas is almost here and i need to do some cards,i will have to buy some this year but will try to do afew simple ones of my own.
Decided to join in on DU2DS challenge,this week the dare is "GLITTER" and Penny Black where this week the challenge is "WINTER WONDERLAND".
I've used a free digi image from Fred She Said and glittered it using ultra fine glitters,each layer,5 in all have been mounted onto dimensional foam pads.
Fleur De Lis,Spellbinders pendant die as been used to create the base of the Doodledallion.I've added a snowflake and adhesive gem from stash to the center.
The sentiment is from a Penny Black T For Transparent set " Banner Of Joy".


Just a close up of the Doodledallion....love these easel cards,first one i've made and i'm really happy with the way it's turned out.
Well that's about it for now,hope it won't be so long for my next post....

STAMP WITH FUN & CUTE DAISY MAY.....

Hi....it's Monday again so that mean's i have two DT cards to share with you,firstly Stamp With Fun where this week we have "At The Sea" theme for you.

For my card i've used this fun Kadoodle stamp "Bikini Babe" by the very talented Sandra Dry,it can be purchased from The Craft Barn (great service).I've coloured the image using Promarkers and Prisma's,and then added some glamour dust to her bikini.

The scene was printed from Cute Companions "Summer Stories".

The textured card and sand effect paper are DCWV.ribbon and flip flops from stash.

The second DT card i've got to share with you is for Cute Daisy May.....we have a colour theme of "BLUE & GREEN",must say one of my favourite colour combo's.
This gorgeous fairy image of Linnie's is from "SHEET No 41" and as been coloured using Promarkers and Prisma's,the sentiment was computer generated and added to the image before printing out.
The paper is a Funky Fairy download "Funky Christmas".The flowers are Flora Doodles and ribbon from stash.I've added glamour dust to her wings....every fairy needs alittle sparkle!.

Well all that's left to say is thanks to all who joined us last week and hope to see you all again this week.

STAMPAVIE AND MORE.....BUTTONS,BLUE & BROWN

Well it's Wednesday once again!,and that means it's time for a new challenge over at Stampavie and More,this week the theme is "BUTTONS,BLUE & BROWN".

For my DT card i decided to use a stamp i had awhile back "Dress Up" by Paperbag Studio's,i love this image,what little colouring i've done is with Prisma Pencils and Sansador.
The flower i've punched using Ek Success Retro flower punches finished in the centre with a tiny brown pearl.To create the edge i've used a Fiskar's "Threading Water" border punch and threaded some fancy wool through.Buttons from stash.

A very plain and simple card but i'm really pleased with it!

I would like to thank everyone who joined in the challenge last week and hope you will join us again this week....look forward to seeing your creations.

Well thats all for now,

Take care
