Litttle Miss Muffet DT - Away with the Faeries release

Hello Everyone! It's release day at Little Miss Muffet and we have six new Simply Sophia Faerie Digis for you to play with. I have used the lovely Alvina on my card without her little Friend. I made the card using My Mind's Eye papers from the Come Away with me pad.

I coloured the lovely Alvina using my Promarkers and added stickles to her wings before cutting her out and adding her to the card with my foam pads. I added lots of flowers from my stash and some vintage ribbon from The Ribbon Girl topped with a wooden button.
The DT have made some gorgeous samples with the new images and you can see them all on our blog here. And here is a little peek at all the new images.

They are all great fun and so lovely to colour in! I hope you have a lovely Thursday!

Delightful Delia!

Hello Everyone! It's my day for sharing a card on the Sugar Nellie blog today and  I have made a card with the adorable little Delia. Delia is one of my favourite Sugar Nellie stamps and I love colouring her in. I used various papers from My Mind's Eye on my card and coloured Delia in to match them using my Promarkers.

I sewed around the edges of all my layers and added a gorgeous pink ribbon which I topped with a spotty button. I added a stamped sentiment straight on to one of the patterned papers and embellished the card with lots of flowers, a wooden heart button and some punched butterflies topped with gems.

Here is a close up of my coloured image. I cut the image out leaving a small borde before sticking her to the card with foam pads and added stickles to her wand and to her headband as a finishing touch. I hope you have a lovely Wednesday!

Hello Everyone! I am kicking off a Paper Smooches inspiration week on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog! We love Paper Smooches at My Mum's Craft shop and myself and the DT cannot wait to share our Paper Smooches projects with you this week. I have a little card to show you today which I made using the Paper Smooches Perpetual Bliss stamp set. I used papers from the Echo Park Scoot pad and die cut a topper using some Scalloped oval and oval nestabilities and stamped the sentiment and the musical notes from the stamp set. 

I stamped and coloured the vintage juke box and cut it out and added it to the card using foam pads. The little star was die cut using a dienamics die and I added a little button from my stash on top.

Here is a little close up of my topper and coloured in image. I added some stick on pearls as a finishing touch, Make sure you join us for all of next week for some more Paper Smooches inspiration and all comments left on the blog will be entered into a draw to win some candy! Have a lovely Sunday!

Sugar Nellie DT - Bumblebee

 Hi Everyone! Yay!! It's Friday! I have been looking forward to today all week! I have a card to share with you today made with one of my favourite Gorgeous girls images which is available here from Funky Kits. I coloured her in with my Promarkers and paper pieced her dress with some older Glitz Design papers.

I used a Papermania die to frame the image and added stitching around the edges of all the layers. The gorgeous gingham ribbon is from the Ribbon Girl and I topped it with lovely little wooden heart button. I added a Papersmooches sentiment cut out with a Dienamics die and lots of flowers.

Here is a close up of the image. I added some colour to the hearts on the dress with a red Promarker and added some stickles glitter glue to her wings. I cut the image out leaving a small border and then added her to my card using foam pads. I finished with a couple of stick on heart pearls and finished with a couple of gold gems. I do love all the colours of the backing papers, I don't use a lot of yellow normally but I do think it looks rather nice with the navy and red! I am off to see Les Miserables tonight and have dinner and a couple of wines with my Best Friend Fiona. I can't wait! Have a lovely Friday!

The Ribbon Girl DT for the January Challenge - Ivory and Pink

Hello again! I am back with my DT card for this month's Ribbon Girl Challenge. We have a fabulous colour combination for you this month and a great inspiration photo to get you started. Our colour theme is Pink and Ivory, such a beautiful combination! I have used some gorgeous papers from My Mind's Eye on my card from the Sweetest thing Lavender pad. They are so beautiful and I love the soft pastel colours. I used a digital Fairy image from Some Odd Girl called the Forest Friend Fairy.

I coloured her in with my Promarkers and then added some glitter to her wings. I cut her out without leaving a border and added her to a die cut circle which I edged with some pom pom trim. I distressed the edges of all my paper layers with old paper ink and stamped a sentiment from a Paper Smooches set on a strip of paper before wrapping it with Ivory pleated ribbon and some pink zig zag lace. I decorated the card with lots of gorgeous flowers all from The Ribbon Girl Flower Shop.

Here is a close up of my coloured in image, I think she is so pretty and I love the way my colouring turned out. You can just see one of the gorgeous Chipboard butterflies I added which have been in my stash for ages. I added stick on gems and some lovely little stick on heart pearls as a finishing touch.
Here is our lovely inspiration photo and make sure you check out the Challenge blog for lots of lovely inspiration from the DT.

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Sweet Friend

Hello Everyone! It's my day for sharing a card on the My Mum's Craft shop blog today and I have been playing with some of my new and old stash this week! I received my gorgeous new Doodle Garden Sweet Friend stamp last week and couldn't wait to colour her in as soon as I opened the packet! I coloured my image with Promarkers to match these lovely papers from My Mind's Eye which are from the Come Away with me pad.

I kept my layout simple and stamped the sentiment straight on to one of the backing papers. I added a punched border and a strip of gingham ribbon and some paper flowers and finished with some little gems and a little wooden heart button.

Here is a close up of my coloured image. I love her striped tights and cute little shoes! It's so lovely to have new stash to play with but it was also great fun rediscovering an older paper pad, I just love the colours in this one! I hope you have a lovely Sunday.

Get Well Soon!

Hello Everyone! Just a quick post to share this card I was asked to make for a work colleague who has been seriously ill in hospital. I used an image by Mo Manning called 'Harry's Feeling ill'. It was such great fun to colour in. It took me ages but was very therapeutic.

I used a sentiment by Paper Smooches and the lovely checked paper is from October Afternoon and was layered on coordinating cardstock from K+CO. The ribbon is from Whiff of Joy.

Here is a close up of the coloured image. I had great fun colouring the patchwork quilt. All the colouring was done with Promarkers. I hope you have a lovely Wednesday.
