Something New



This cute little fairy card was made for Party Time Tuesdays challenge this week.  The theme of this PTT #49 challenge is "something new".  Come and join the fun. 
The inspiration for this card was the background paper that I managed to nearly cover with my design.  The fairy digi is from the collection of Pollycraft Digi Stamps.  Bling, ribbon and glitter give the card some sparkle and the way she is fastened to the card I think gives her some life. 

Thanks for looking.

Pollycraft's Anything Goes Challenge #117


Pollycraft this week's challenge is Anything Goes and I am trying to getting my Christmas cards made so I chose to use Star Chester for this card. I think he is so cute. The card is very simple with some glitter, Christmas pattern paper, sentiment and ribbon and he is ready to go.
Well I am heading back to my craft room for some more crafting.

Sketch Frenzy Friday (SFF091611) - Bearing Gifts


Today’s card was created for Sketch Frenzy Friday. I used this cute Christmas digi by Pollycraft called Kiki Gifts as my inspiration. I layered pattern paper from my stash, embossed complimentary paper, coloured the image with my Copics, added Ric Rac and a sentiment stamp by A Muse ArtStamps. This is the first card I have made for this year's Christmas cards.

Baby Love Challenge by Pollycraft


“Baby Love” is the theme of this card I created for the Pollycraft challenge. The digi I used is by Pollycraft and it is called “Moon Lullaby” from their Little Star collection. I used my Copic markers to colour the image along with my silver Martha Stewart metallic marker. I gave the card more interest by adding some stars in different die cut patterns, glitter, ribbon, sweet baby sentiment and more patterned paper. The card is ready to give someone who is having a baby.

The creative quote for today is by Julia Cameron. “In a sense, as we are creative beings, our lives become our work of art.”

Have a creative day.

You Make My heart Flutter - PollycraftsDigi Stamps Recyling Challenge


Pollycrafts’ Monday challenge this week is recycling. I chose to use their “Sonny Butterflies” digi stamp from their collection for this project then went digging in my paper scraps and other boxes where I keep my bling, discarded stamped images, ribbons and other odds and ends. I coloured the cute digi image my Copics. The additional stamps I used for this project were:

You make My heart Flutter - Inkadinkado
Flourishes - Stampin Up
Butterfly - unknown

Once I had the card constructed I gave the butterfly some antennas and added some bling and glitter to complete the card. This was a fun challenge.

Well back to the craft room to clean up.
Have a crafty day every one.
