The Sugar Bowl - Marlene's Sketch

I thought I'd get back into submitting some blog challanges and I decided I'd start with The Sugar Bowl challange first. The very talented Marlene has set a Sketch for us to follow and the other instructions were Black, white & .... So I chose Green.

Here is my Card design

I have used some Docraft Patterened papers with black ornate patterns and matted them with white & Black card stock. The image is a Sugar Nellie Gorjuss Girl with her Cat (being a cat lover I couldn't resist using this stamp again). I have coloured with my Promarkers and added a Green flatbacked pearl on kitty's collar.

You can also join in the fun over at the Sugar Bowl by following this link

The Prize is a whole collection of 'Alice' stamps by Leanne Ellis & also a set of Spellbinders Scallop Square nesties.

Fingers crossed I need all of these items. Lets hope you like it girls!

Thanks

Special Occasions

This weekend was a big family weekend for us as we were at a Wedding and there are several birthdays coming up this week.

The first card I have to show you is the wedding card. As you might be able to see the Groom is a Aston Villa fan so I tried to incorporate that in the design as well as bare in mind that Sarah (Bride) who is a graphic designer so I wanted to add some design details and textures. Hope they like it.

Now this next card is for my nephew Zane who is 3 this week. He is a mad football fan but I wanted to do something different for him so I decided to do a Pirate theme instead. I used Magnolia Pirate Edwin and coloured him with Promarkers. I had a Pirate ship stamp which I then distressed with Distress Ink and Used a Chipboard letter to finish.

Happy Birthday Zane. xxx

And Happy Crafting Everybody

Here's some new Magnolia Toppers

Fairydust Tilda coloured in shades of Pink she looked so cute and I was working on Christmas toppers so i popped her onto a Christmas Magnolia scene that I had and layered with pink backing papers. To finish I used an old earring which I took the hook off and fixed with a jump ring and tied in with ribbon.

Here's Tilda holding a ladybird. I wanted to make this into a birthday topper so I used EK Success Cupcake border punch and themed the backing paper and embellishments from the colours I had used to colour Tilda in with.

I love the fairydust Tilda she is so cute I sold her on though( whoops) but stamped some images so I have to go sparingly but here's a new topper I have made. I have used glittery backing paper and my nesties to cut the circle out.

Hope you like them

Magnolia Christmas Tilda & Edwins

I had a delivery on Saturday and these lovely new release Tilda's and Edwin's were inside.

I have used these images with some Christmas circular snowflake patterned paper and finished with Card candy

This is also a new image from the Autumn range. I have tied various yellow ribbons and added a pearlised scallop tag.

Also I used my new Stampin up stamp.

See you all soon
