Wee Stamps - Winter Friends

Happy Sunday everyone!  It's time for a new challenge at the Ribbon Girls, it's a Use Any Image -Anything Goes challenge, so you can make whatever you like, but it must have an image on it.

Luckily I made my card a couple of weeks ago, as I've been full of the sniffles this weekend, runny noses are not really very good when you're trying to colour and craft!

I used the super adorable Winter Friends from Sylvia Zet of Wee Stamps. You can buy the digi here or if you prefer rubber Whimsy has the same stamp in a rubber version here.

I coloured the sweet image with my distress ink markers to match this lovely paper from Lili of the Valley,

I used a variety of gorgeous embellishments from the Ribbon Girl (links below) and popped some Winter Branches cut with a La-La Land die behind the flowers and cones.

I decorated the inside to complement the outside to finish off.

Elisabeth Bell - Pati's Kisses

Hiya! Oh my, you won't believe the problems I've had posting recently.  I've had some major issues with my PC, and having to do all kinds of downloads and re-installs and so I couldn't edit and upload my pics. The original problem is still there unfortunately, which may mean a new Graphics card or worse, but at least for now I can still post.

For today's card for the Digi Bells I used Pati's Kisses, isn't she just the sweetest? Love those chubby cheeks and I just had to colour them in a way that emphasised that because they were way too cute to lose. I thought I'd do her little bear in blue for a change.

The papers are from Maja design's Summer Crush collection, I used a mix of the 12 x 12 and 6 x 6 papers.

The little Victorian Frame she's mounted on is from Memory Box, and I just shaded though the cut outs while it was still in the die , with a DI marker in Tattered Rose, to highlight the embossing.

I added some beautiful ribbon, flowers and embellishments and she was done.

I kept the inside pretty simple, just some coordinating paper and the same frame.

Well that's all from me, have a lovely day. :) xx

Saturated Canary - Neeve

Hi everyone! I hope you had a lovely weekend, I'm back today with my card for
Deep Ocean Challenge Blog and the theme this time is 

Tea, Coffee, Chocolate - use one.

I plumped for coffee....well it is my favourite thing, though chocolate does run pretty close lol.

It actually gave me the opportunity to use up these papers in my stash from the Maja collection - Coffee in the Arbour. I practically never use brown on my cards unless it's Kraft, but I actually really like this, though to give it a little lift I added in some purple from the Fika collection.

I decided on this digital stamp from Saturated Canary, she's called Neeve and comes in a bunch of 9 digis Another Bunch of Digis at a fabulous price, and since she's holding a coffee cup she was perfect to fit the theme.  I thought I would match her hair to the papers, I really couldn't be happier with how her hair turned out. It's a mix of Wilted Violet and Seedless Preserves to give a lovely pink toned violet colour.

I finished off with some gorgeous Ribbon Girl goodies.

Cheesecloth
32 mm Clementine Ivory Tulle Lace
Ivory White Magnolia Flower
Lilac 30 mm Wild Roses
Brown 2 tone 30 mm Wild Roses
10 mm Square Ivory Pearl Trim FB
11 mm Ivory Pearl Flat Backs
8 mm Pearl Ivory Flat Backs

The rest of the flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts from my stash.

That's all from me today, but I do hope you can join in with the fun :) xx
