Oldies but Goodies Thursday

It's 'oldies but goodies' Thursday over on Bugaboo's 'Catch the Bug Challenge'Blog.
Now as for me I'm very new to the Bugaboo range so none of these are oldies to me, I love 'em all so that makes them goodies.
Here is my card  for the challenge she is simply 'girl turtle'

I have coloured her with Prismacolor pencils.
Before colouring I chose the Bella Rose designer paper from Stampin Up and it's matching cardstock.
I always choose my papers first, you get a better idea on how to colour your image.
I see way too many people colour then try and find paper to match and they can't do it. They then wonder why their card is as good as it could be.
As the image and paper are just so adorable, I wanted to keep the embellishments to a minimum. I used just a small piece of miniature lime green gingham ribbon, and a rhinestone on the flower.
I hope you like her as much as I do. You can find her HERE

Until Next Time

Bugaboo New Release Tuesday.

Time for a new Bugaboo Stamps image release, I have decided to share Red Hat Stella with you all.
She is just fabulous.

I have printed then coloured with Prismacolor Pencils blended with odourless mineral spirits
The card stock is from Copix and core-dinations, the purple is just perfect.

What do you think of the red hat brad. It was just one of those things I saw and thought "I must have that, one day I will need it" I am sure we all have moments like that.
You will find this great image and many more over at Bugaboo Stamps

Until Next Time

Bugaboo Stamps Freebie Friday

It's Freebie Friday time over at Bugaboo Stamps and there are 2 great images up for grabs. I have decided to showcase this great image. It's from the AKV (a Kids View) range.

The image has been coloured using Prismacolor Color pencils on white cardstock, When I colour I really like to have good depth and not be too 'wishy washy'. The designer printed paper is from Basic Grey, It was great to use because of all it's bold colours.
The coloured layers are just some scraps I had on my table (boy do I have a lot of those, I really must clean it up one day)
For the fianl embellishment I added the five orange brads. I'm not sure if I will use the card for a boy or girl so I decided not to go to fussy with embellishments.
Don't forget to go and see what other great creations this new design team has come up with. All members can be found on the right hand side bar.

Until Next Time

Happy Easter and Exciting News

Happy Easter, It is only a couple of days away now.
I thought I would share this little card with you. The images are from Bugaboo Stamps. 
Bugaboo Stamps is an on line Digi company with some the cutest and some of the most hilarious images I have ever seen. I fell in love with them instantly.
To make it even better I have been invited to join their Design Team. Wish me luck as I embark on another exciting journey.

Until Next Time

Over the Hill

I thought I would introduce you to Stella from Bugaboo Digi  images. She's just fabulous. This is the first card I've made and have a couple more different images on the go. I love them, they are just hilarious.

The base card is Kiwi Kiss cardstock from Stampin Up, the brown and yellow are both Bazzill and the designer printed paper is from Basic Grey's 'Origins' 6x6" paper pad. I wasn't sure if the colours in the pad were 'me', but after doing this card I love it. It's good to step out of the box every now and then.
Stella and the sentiment are 2 separate digi images so you can make them what ever size you like. I coloured Stella with my Prismacolor pencils and blended with odourless mineral spirits. The colours I have used co-ordinate with the paper.
The card was embellished with a gorgeous green and brown ribbon, the top right hand corner was punched using a ticket corner punch and a Lemon coloured SPRINKLE (bling) was added

Image and Sentiment available from Bugaboo
Sprinkles from Annabelle Stamps

Until Next Time
