Garden of Wishes Fairy

Bingo on the The Stamping Boutique blog this week.

I have chosen the top line Flowers, Bling, Image and Sentiment.  My bling is glitter on her wings.

The fairy is from Lili of the Valley and coloured with Copic's.  I think the backing paper is from one of the Crafter's Companion CD's not sure which one as I have loads that I printed of over the years and I am trying hard to use them all up before I print more.

I have used another of the digi stamps from Wee stamps, this one is called Silver Fairy.

I have coloured her with my new Copics.  The little dragonflies are made from a Quickutz die, I cut them in white pearlescent card and coloured the body of the dragonflies with a black pen.  I brought three more digi stamps from Wee Stamps  today, they are so cute so you will be seeing them soon.

Summer in my Garden

Click here to take you to my blog giveaway

I have been playing with my new Copics and I love them.  I coloured this Sarah Kay image and I am very pleased with the way the jeans have turned out.

Actually I am pleased with most of it but especially the jeans.

Here is the completed card

I am going to enter this into the following challenges

Cute Card Thursday  Here Comes Summer

Raise the Bar   There challenge is Summer


The sun was shining in my garden today although you would not know it was Summer, the wind was blowing a gale and it was cold.  I did have a visitor today, it's not often I see butterflies these days but one came in today, I think he was sheltering from the wind and he stayed still long enough for me to get my camera and take a photo.

Color Me Copic  and  Crafty Creations Challenge

both have the same theme Babies

I have used a Popcorn the bear stamp coloured with ProMarkers and the sky was created using a blue ink pad.  Not sure where I got the flowers from I think they are Kanban.  I have also used Spellbinder dies, a cuttlebug folder and a leaf punch.  The flowers have a gem in the centre to finish them off and a heart shaped gem for the pram.

Been playing with my new Copic's and loving them.  Just going to finsh colouring a Sarah Kay image so maybe using it for my next card.

Hello Mr. Frog

One for the boys challenge on Delightful Challenges 

When you look at the challenge blog make sure you pop into their shop, there is so much there.  I am new digi stamps and only have a few at the moment but I will be buying some from there, so many to choose from.  Not only do they not take up crafty space but you can re-size them to fit your project.  I really must get more of them.

My card today is not made from a digi stamp but one from Artstamps, it was one of the first stamps I brought and I have used it many times.  The branch stamp is separate and is from Carolines.

It is coloured with ProMarkers and made into an easel card.

Punch Drunk

Cute Card Thursday  blog has 'punch drunk' as the challenge this week.
You can either use punches or drink (punch) inspired card.
I have used some daisy punches and a stamen punch on this card with a cute stamp from Sheena's A little bit sketchy range.

The main card is cut using a Spellbinders Grand labels One die and I have coloured the little girl with ProMarkers and I think the backing paper is from one of Joanna Sheen's Cd's.  I have loads of paper that I have printed from Cd's that I am trying to use them up before I print more.  I also used some cloud backing paper that I had printed to make the daisies and used some pearlescent card the same as the base card for the stamens and mat for the stamped image.  A Lili of the Valley sentiment stamp finishes the card.

Another card coloured with ProMarkers.  I was pleased with the blending on her but I think I still prefer the Copic's and I brought some more today, slowly getting more of the Copics.

Friends

I never knew there were so many challenge blogs out there, it's fun looking at them all and seeing all the wonderful cards made by everyone.

Freshly Bewed have an Anything goes challenge this week. 

This cute little stamp is from Joanna Sheen's Giordano range.  I thinkthe paper is also from one of Joanna Sheen's CD's, it was in my scrap box but the flowers on it were the wrong colour so I changed them using the same ProMarkers I used for the flower on the stamped image.

Let it Snow

Looking around at all the challenge blogs I came across this one that is just for Christmas cards and projects.  All I can hear singing in my head now are the words 'Let is snow, let it snow, let it snow'.  So of course I had to enter a card into the challenge.

The challenge blog is called  ABC Christmas Challenge   and the challenge this time is 'L is for Lyrics'

This cute little bear is from Lili of the Valley and called James Bear - In the Snow.  I coloured him with ProMarkers.

I found a new digi stamp company, well new to me Wee Stamps  the stamps are very cute and of course I had to buy some and I know I will be buying more of them very soon.  I also found a new challenge blog     

 

 J and C Creations

 

Their first challenge is 'All that Glitters' and as I was just finishing this card I just had to enter.  Her wings and the flower centre's have glitter on them.

Battery has gone in my camera and the scanner did not want to scan this card properly as the base card is white so I had to put my A4 cutting mat behind it.  Never mind it's finally scanned.

I coloured the image with Copics and wanted to give the clothing a frabricy (is that a word LOL) look so once I had coloured it I covered the outfit with the blender pen and it does make a difference although it is not really noticeable in the scan and neither is the glitter   : (      Lots of different Spellbinder dies, a Marianne die and some punches.

Another lovely challenge from Lili of the Valley, their stamps are some of my most used.  

This week the challenge on Lili's little Fairies is One for the Boys.

This one is called Milk and Biscuits and I have used it several times on cards as it reminds me of my youngest two boys when they were small.

It was coloured with Promarkers and the sky was made using a watercolour pencil.

You and Me

Anything Goes on   Bunny Zoe's Crafts   Challenge blog this month

I love the Morehead children and would love to get more of the stamps but I have only managed to get hold of this one and this one took a long time to find here is the UK.  I have coloured it with Promarkers and used a Spellbinders Labels Thirteen die to make the topper.  I used two different flower punches and two different papers to make the flowers, I added a tiny gem to the centre of each flower and some larger gems to finish it off.

A ribbon challenge for The Crafty Pad   this week

You have to have a piece of ribbon somewhere on your card.

I have used this Lili of the Valley many times and also the Go-Kreate die, it is my most used large die for card bases.  I have coloured it with promarkers.  The backing paper is from Pink Petticoat and I also stamped part of the image on the same paper and cut out the present.  The butterfly is made from a punch and the body of the butterfly is made from a Quickutz die.

Remember When

A lovely simple card made with the Faye Whittaker CD from Joanna Sheen.  I am going to enter this into the Remember When challenge on the    Joanna Sheen blog.

The 3D decoupage is from the CD although I cut if off the background and used some backing paper from the same CD as the backing.  The frame is made using the Spellbinders Curved Rectangles die, I also used the Spellbinders Grand Large labels die to cut the backing paper.

Happy Birthday Tom

Today's card is for an X-Box fans.  It is going to be entered into the Lexi's Creations Challenge # 66   

 The challenge is 'For the man/boy in your life'.

As you can see from today's card it was specially made for Tom

I wanted an unusual shape to the card so just cut it at an angle along the bottom.  The digi stamp is from Mo's digital pencil and is called  'Game On'. I coloured it with Copic's still not 100% sure if I like Copic's or Sprtrum Noir pen's best yet.  I think the paper is from a Joanna Sheen CD but I cannot remember which one.
