I love all paper crafts including mixed media, journaling and cards. I also dabble in papermaking, photography, fibre art, and altered books.

Have a Ball




Time for another challenge at Come and Get It and the theme this week is to make your own embellishments. I have used   an image from Scrapper's Delight, one of our great sponsors for my card called  Lady Jane . She is a lovely image to colour with my Copics. 



I used a very old rubber stamp (1996) for the background from Hero Arts called Bursting Fireworks for the background of my card.  I thought it worked well with the theme of the card. My embellishment I made with a die cut which I added a star to to continue with the theme.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.

Add Stitching, Real or Faux


The challenge at Come and Get It this week to create a card or project and add stitching, real or faux.  I have used a image from one of our sponsors Scrappers Delight for my card. The image is called Pixie Pan.  The sentiment is also part of the set. 



I coloured my card's image with Copics, stitched the cards layered papers and then added some music and a sentiment.  

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a creative day.

This is my DT card for the current challenge at Come and Get It Challenges.  The theme of the challenge is Fairies.   I made this card with an image from one of this weeks sponsors, Scrapper's Delight.  The cute fairy's name is Hazel Pixie.  

I coloured my image with Copics and added some mushrooms that I stamped from an old rubber stamp set from Stampin Up. To complete the card I added a die cut butterfly  and sentiment. Thank you for stopping by to take a look and have a creative day.

321 Challenge at Come and Get It Challenges



Come and Get It Challenges this week has a 321 Challenge 3 embellishments, 2 papers, 1 image. Scrapper’s Delight is one of the sponsors and I fell in love with this  Harlequin 1 Digi.  I think she is beautiful. 

I coloured the image before I made my total plan for the card.  Once I had coloured her I realized that I did not have any patter paper in my stash to go with the colours I had chosen so I decided to make my own pattern paper for the card. I used a diamond stencil for the background and blue acrylic paint.  My second paper was from my stash but did not quite fit my plan so I outlined the diamonds and edges with a blue pen to make them stand out and tie the papers together.  My three embellishments are the stars dye cut out of foil sliver paper. 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you pop over to the Come and Get It Challenges blog to see the cards the other designers created to inspire you.
