Glitter it Teal at the Colour Crazy Craft Challenge

This week at the Colour Crazy Craft Challenge we are sponsored by the fabulous Oddball Art  and they are offering 3 images to the lucky winner!

The theme we are working with is "Glitter it Teal" and we have two colour palettes to chose from. 

I went with the one of the right, I love these colours, teal is right up there with my favourites right now and with sparkly glitter it's a winning combo!

The image I was given to work with is Evie n Bunni and can be found here.

I found the perfect DP's to go with the theme too and added loads of stickles to make it all sparkly!

I hope you like it!

The Pencil Cases Challenge - V= Varicoloured

Happy Saturday lovelies!

Today is the start of a new challenge over at the Pencil Cases blog and this week we would like to see you use ANY colouring medium and follow the theme of Varicoloured .... so just used lots of colours ... Simple!

This week we are sponsored by the fabulous Nikky Hall and Polkadoodles so you could be winning some fabby Polkadoodles prizes in addition to the awesome Lyra prizes up for grabs too!

 I used the super cute and brand new Winnie in Wonderland digital image, she is available on her own here or as part of a full stunning collection here.  Now in my mind this was going to come out a lot more colourful .. I used pink, purple, green and blue but blue and purple seem to overwhelm everything :)

I like to outline all of my images with a fine liner when I have coloured with pencils as I am a little heavy handed and tend to cover up the original lines with pencil, I also added loads of shabby white embossing powder and distress ink for a distressed look.

As you can tell I had a lot more time to spend on this card than usual so my embellishing is totally over the top ha ha!  I used loads of flowers from WOC, Die cut leaves and stickles!!

The sentiment is also from the collection, don't you just love it .... I think it is perfect for a totally over embellished card!

I hope you like my creation!  Don't forget to head over to the blog for some more fabulous inspiration!

Have a great weekend!

Polkadoodles New TV launch - Stamp Me Samples

Hi everyone I hope you are enjoying your weekend, the weather is not too good here, its very rainy but still sweaty ..not good for getting the washing dry at all!

Today  i'm sharing the samples I made for Nikky's latest release on Create and Craft ... the fabulous concept that is "Stamp Me".

If you haven't seen them there are two sets, Daisy Days and Summer time and the sets comprise of a stamp sheet and a CDrom.

I didn't get very much time at all to make samples due to having so much on at home so I kept the ones I did very simple ... in fact I only used the stamps and one sheet of backing paper from the CD to make 3 cards!!

The first on is my favourite, using the Daisy Days stamps.  I used my MISTI to create a floral burst on my card and then coloured it in with my Zig Clean colour markers, I finished of with my Wink of Stella pen and did some simple matting and layering.

I used the Daisy days again for the next card and stamped onto vellum and embossed with white detail powder.  I used distress ink to colour the background and then used my Zig clean colour markers again for the flowers, finishing of with some wink of stella and stickles.

For my final card I again stamped onto vellum (I used the Summer time stamps) and embossed with White powder, I then used this to create a shaker card.  I used paper from the CD to go inside the shaker and then filled it with pretty sequins, I also added a few onto the front of the card for some sparkle!

I hope you like them, I had great fun making them.

Sweet As Candy at the Colour Crazy Craft Challenge

Hello again my lovelies, i'm finally back in the land of blog again and trying to recoup my DT commitments!

Today I am sharing my card for the Colour Crazy Challenge Blog and this week we want to see your Sweet as Candy makes, we the DT were given 2 colour palettes to chose from but you can use whatever matches the theme ... remember you can also use whatever colour medium you choose!

This week we are sponsored by the fabulous Molly Harrison and one lovely winner could walk away with some stunning images to play with.

I used the stunning image Worry, I love her.  I  but used a bit of artistic licence with the colour theme and chose to darken the candy colours  and teamed them with black to darken the overall look of the card.

Such an amazing image to colour, I used my Graph'it Markers of course and added some white gel pen for the details in her hair and facial features.

I layered everything up on black card and added flowers from WOC and a sentiment die from Simon Says Stamp.

I hope you like it.
