Things With Wings at Passion For Markers

 Hi Crafters,

My apologies, it's been a while since I was here and also to visit your blogs but hubby has been in hospital again so things have been a little strange here, thankfully he is home now and feeling a little better. I'd like to thank you for all the lovely comments recently and I will come and visit you soon.

My appearance today is to showcase my DT card for our current challenge at Passion For Markers.

#679 - THINGS WITH WINGS

I have used this lovely, but sadly discontinued image, from Sugar Nellie. Their images are so lovely it is a shame not to use them just because they are no longer available. I'm sure many of you have lots of their stamps in your crafty stash.

Going Places

Hi Crafters,
It's quite bright and sunny here today which certainly lifts the spirits, although it is also quite cold. We have been very fortunate and missed all the snow that lots of you have been getting, I'm thankful for that. I can't wait for spring to arrive and this leads me on to todays card. I fancied a change from Christmas and wintry scenes so I made this colourful card with a new stamp that arrived yesterday (oops I had a little spend) it was a bargain along with a few others for just a £1 each at Funky Kits.

 Recipe

Wired green organza ribbon - (Something old, from a bouquet)

Netting Trim

K&Co layered sentiment sticker

WOC and Ribbon Girl flowers

Sentiment - Waltzingmouse Stamps

 

She looks like she's having great fun doesn't she? I'm quite happy with how this turned out except for the hair and the camera isn't doing it any favours either, it seems to have picked out tones in the markers that aren't there on the actual card. Never mind, just concentrate on the flowers mmm.

I decorated the inside too to match the layout on the front.

Sugar Nellie GDT

Hi Crafters,
I was so excited to be asked to do a Guest Design Spot for Sugar Nellie after entering their Competition in August. Each of the entrants will get to do a Guest spot and today is my turn.
I have made two projects using Sugar Nellie images for you today, here is 'Geisha', she is new and will be in the Funky Kits shop soon.

 Recipe

7" x 7" card blank

Geisha image provided by Sugar Nellie

Promarkers

Digital paper

Papermania Oriental Stamps

Beads and findings from stash

 

I matted the image on several layers of coloured card to match the matting on the background and tie it all together. The Oriental symbols are from a Papermania stamp set that I have stamped and embossed with black embossing powder and made a type of scroll by rolling up the two ends and placing a hanging bead arrangement from it to match the decoration in the Geisha’s hair.

 

I'd like to enter this in to these challenges:
Papertake Weekly - Sooo Girlie
Creative Fingers - #57 Anything Goes
 

My second project to share today is using 'Love Letters' and it's an altered box.
Isn't she gorgeous? She is from the Simply Sassy range.

 

Recipe

Kraft box

Image - Love Letters

Promarkers

My Minds Eye papers - Adventure

SB Floral Ovals

La, La Land Crafts - Filigree corner die

Sue Wilson - Faux Quilled Leaf die

WOC and Prima flowers

Recollections kraft foam letters

Wooden 'Memories' Buckle

Gemstone brad

White Satin Ribbon

 

The image gave me the idea to make a keepsake box, for precious memories and letters.

The papers have been inked around the edges and layered up to make panels for the box sides and top. I mounted the image on to the floral ovals die cut, love this die cut it's so useful and pretty. Added the filigree corners and ribbon with the gemstone brad to cover the knot and arranged the flowers. Lastly I added the kraft letters to the side. This image was so much fun to colour and quick too. 

Challenges:

Not Just Cards - #6 Anything Goes

 



I'd like to say a big thank you to Karen and the Design Team for inviting me to play today.

Thank you all for joining me.

Furry Friends

Hi Everyone,
These new digital stamps from Sugar Nellie are so cute and I couldn't resist getting a few. They have a competition over on the blog and this is my entry...there's a great prize so fingers crossed.

This little cutie is called 'Highflyer' and is so sweet. I coloured him with my Promarkers and stamped a sentiment in the banner from a Scrapberry set. The papers were oddments that I had in my scraps box and the sentiment inside the Stampin' Up oval punch was from LOTV.
I followed a sketch for this card so would like to enter it in the Papertake Weekly challenge also.
