SquiggleFly's New Releases

Another lot of gorgeous images came out on Saturday over at Squigglefly. I have chosen this sweet image to work with, (it is actually 2 images for the price of one.)
Welcome Olga and Sasha, the 2 little Babooshka Dolls.

I have used both dolls here to creating 'nesting' sizes. They are coloured using Prismacolor Pencils, In shades of Pink, Light Blue and Light Green, which also happens to be Squigglefly's Color Challenge over on SNR card universe. (Anyone can play, but you must use Squigglefly images).

The card is made using Bazzill cardstock, the decorative paper is brand new from Imaginisce. It was embellished with co-ordinating pink and green flowers with pale blue brads. The ribbon was a great find as it is embroidered in white pink and pale green. (of course none of the hundreds of ribbons I had at home was the right one. LOL.

Until Next Time

Prize week at Annabelle Stamps Blog Challenge

Here is this week's Annabelle Stamps Sketch (scs keyword ABSC012).

Here is my card

I am so happy with the finished card. The flower used is from the Mix n Match set called 'Floral Stems'. I simply had to choose which flower and which stem I wanted and viola! Here you have it.

 

I stamped in Black Brilliance ink and coloured with Prismacolor Pencils. My ovals were cut using Nestabilities Petite Ovals in small and large.

The pink cardstock is Pretty in Pink from SU and the designer paper is from Basic Grey's 6" pad called 'Lemonade'

The gorgeous sprinkles are Blossom in 6mm and 4mm, The sprinkles on the stem are Lime 3mm

Here is a close up

SquiggleFly Challenge #33

Here is my card for this weeks challenge over on the Squigglefly Blog.
The theme this week was to create 'a summer card in January'
This theme was a super easy one for me since here in Australia it is summer, and it's hot (35 -40 c or 90-100 f ) unlike a lot of my fellow stampers who are cold and some are experiencing freezing temperatures and snow.
The image I chose is called Shared Friendship and it is by artist Tracey Malnofski.
I coloured this image with Prismacolor pencils blended with Odourless mineral spirits.
Isn't this designer paper perfect, ice creams everywhere. Yum! The cardstock in yellow and orange - yellow has a woodgrain texture and I have absolutely no idea where it came from. You see I have over 1000 sheets of plain coloured 12x12's and if it's not Bazzill then I really have no idea.  LOL!
The shapes are cut out with nestabilities Labels #8

Butterfly Fairy

I have discovered another fabulous blog site called Michelle Perkett Studio. (With a name like Michelle, she must be good. LOL)
I have fallen in love with Michelle's fantasy images. Here is the 'Butterfly Fairy' and I have decided to create a card for their 1st challenge on their new Blog.
I have coloured this gorgeous image using Copic Markers, this is only my 3rd try at these markers and I am pretty happy with the results. I can still see where it needs more work and a bit more practise but I am sure I will get there eventually.
The card is 6"  white square  layered with papers from SEI. The inside of the card also has a pink insert that you can see under the flower border.
The flower border punch is by fiskars.
The card was embellished with 'blush' coloured rhinestones, pink organza ribbon, and the butterflies on her dress and in her hair were given a little extra sparkle from Diamond Stickles.
Thanks for looking

SquiggleFly: New release and a challenge

Saturday means it's time to look at SquiggleFly's New Releases. There really is fabulous images to choose from.
This is the card I have made for today's new releases as well as for this weeks SquiggleFly Color Challenge over on SNR (scrapbook news and review) Card Universe.
The colours this week are Red, Black and Pale Yellow.

This image is absolutely gorgeous and she is called 'Birthday Gifter'. It is by a very talented artist called Cheryl Alger. I am very taken with her designs and will feature them quite a lot. Here is one from a couple of weeks ago.
They are just beautiful. The images have fine lines and I find them such a joy to colour.

I am having such a good day card making I thought I would show you another card. This is another of Cheryl's designs called 'Up in Arms'. It was released just last weekend

Until Next Time

Annabelle Stamps Blog Challenge

We are already up to week 11 in Annabelle Stamps Bling and Sketch Challenge (SCS keyword ABSC011). Another great sketch by the fabulous Andrea

Here is my card.

I have chosen stamps from 2 sets, the Flower is from 'Floral Stems' and the sentiment is from 'Flowers for You'.
I have stamped the flower 3 times on white card stock with Black Brilliance Ink. I then coloured with Copic Markers and added extra sparkle with Diamond stickles.
Happy Birthday (2 separate stamps,  great set to mix n' match words) was stamped in SU Certainly Celery. It is a bit pale for my liking but it does look better in real life.
The base card is made with Bazzill Bling cardstock, the coloured layers are scraps from my stamp desk, pinks and greens. The designer paper is from Basic Greys new 6" pad called 'Sugar Rush'.
The Bling of course is the gorgeous Sprinkles.
All stamps and sprinkles are available from Annabelle Stamps.  You really must check out the new range of colours, the are to die for.

Until Next Time
