Elisabeth Bell - Cinnamon Sugar

Hi everyone! I'm here with a little inspiration today for the Digi Bells and we have a new challenge over on the challenge blog. We'd love for you to join in the fun with us.

This week the theme is
'Button it Up'

I used one of Elisabeth's Little Cottage Cuties, rubber stamps from Whimsy.

She's called Cinnamon Sugar, isn't she gorgeous? You can purchase her here.

I coloured her with my distress ink markers and matched her to these Pion papers from the Siri's Kitchen collection, I thought they were perfect for this stamp. I cut the little sentiment at the bottom from one of the border strips. The flower is just covering it in the picture, but it says 'Sugar and spice and all things nice'.

I finished off with lots of Ribbon Girl goodies which I've linked below.

Isn't this rustic ribbon perfect for this card?! For my button I used one of these lovely wooden heart ones.

Cheesecloth
10 mm Denim Blue/Cream Rustic Gingham Ribbon
Dusky Blue Button Twine
Wooden Heart Button
28 mm Gloria Ivory Fine Cotton Lace
Ivory White Magnolia Flower
20 mm Cream Open Rose
Apple Blossom Mixed Pastels
Beaded Stamen Blue/White
Cupcake Charm Large Silver

I do hope you can join in with our challenge, and don't forget to check out the rest of the gorgeous makes from the rest of the girls here!

Take care! :) xx

Wee Stamps - Polly

Evening crafters! I'm here with my card for Deep Ocean Challenge Blog. We have a new contest for you and the theme is

White and one other colour

Well as you can tell my other colour is red. A bit unusual for me as I don't use red that often, but it does look striking used with just white.

I chose some papers from Maja Design, these are actually Christmas papers but as long as you avoid the actual Christmas prints you can use them at any time.

The super cute image is Polly from Wee Stamps, I have a whole folder of these cuties just waiting for me to colour up, so I'm really looking forward to having the time to do so.

I added some spotty buttons as embellishments as a cute change from pearls or gems, I think they really went well with the style.

I used some more of the patterned paper to decorate the inside and added a blank space for a message, although you can't see that in this photo.

Elisabeth Bell - Little Friends

Hello everyone. It's my turn to post on the Digi Bells Blog and today I'm using Little Friends, isn't she just a sweetie with her little bird friend?
Apologies that the pics are not too marvelous, but I ended up taking this quite late in the evening and in a bit of a rush!

I had this lovely Vintage Garden paper from Pion Designs that had similar little birds on it and I thought that it would be a perfect match for this image, so I coloured her very delicately with my distress ink markers to co-ordinate with the papers. I used mostly the 6 x 6 papers, but the background she's mounted on is cut from the 12 x 12 paper.
