Quick Cutie

Just a little quickie to pass the time! Lilac card blank from stash, patterned Paper from Pink Petticoat, Little Swirls and a little floral embellishment from Artoz. I added a little sentiment stamp by See Dees and used my corner punch from Carla Crafts for a little detail. Nice.

Altered Box

A little change from the norm tonight. After spending a lot of time de-cluttering my daughters' bedrooms last week, I came across a few boxes and couldn't resist another excuse to play with my paper! This little box came with perfume gifts inside and it was a lovely shade of blue. After browsing my downloads collection I fell for the Little Swirls Collection from Pink Petticoat. I used the blue, which was "Pebble" and the brown which was "Mocha" and I really think it has turned out lovely. I used a Sizzix flower die, though I think the brown one may be a little big, but I can live with that. The ribbon was off a box of chocs and the little gems are from Papermania. I punched a little tag with my new Carla Craft border punch and stamped a little sentiment with black Stazon ink. I finished with a little silver Stickles glue. Not sure what to use it for just yet, though I am going to paint my little craft room soon, when I manage to claim it back from storage!

Dare you to digi stamp......

Created this little card especially for the Dare You to Digi Stamp challenge number 5, over at http://dareu2digistamp.blogspot.com/ there was an adorable sketch provided and this is my take on it. I must admit I enjoyed this as I just love the simplicity of digi stamps. I used backing paper from http://www.shabbyprincess.com/ from their "Happy go Lucky" pack. The pink circles are from card stock and the little image is from my ever favourite Pink Petticoat. Its from the "Lola'sBoudoir" collection. I created a little ribbon affect using flowers and gems from papermania and a little punched border using a Carla Craft punch. Finished off with a little Stickles glue.

Pink Lady.

I haven't blogged in so long, my creativity has been stifled somewhat of late. Life. It has a tendency to take over sometimes and finds plenty of "stuff" to occupy us physically and mentally. Anyhoo, here is a little addition made using a little digi stamp from Pink Petticoat. It's Lola Rose of course and she showing off a sparkler! Teamed this up with some free papers from a magazine which I just adore, lots of pinks and patterns. Nice little card and cost practically nought!!!!

Full of Joy!

Meet this little lady who has been hiding within my computer for ages and I had forgotten all about her! I downloaded this little set of images from http://grab-a-doodle-do.blogspot.com/ This is Lilly, I had a feeling that I had invited her to play some time ago but I must have lost her. After some searching of my hard drive I came across her again so I decided to put her to some good use. I just love how this has turned out. This is the same freebie set of papers I mentioned earlier. I stamped Lilly and coloured her with my Whisper pens and Faber Castell pencils. I used my Carla Crafts punch to add some detail and the stamp is from Daisy Bucket. The little butterflies are actually beads that I have had in my kit for ages, I attached them using some glue dots. I added some ric rac ribbon which is green velvet, it also was a freebie with Papercraft Inspirations last issue. I added a little paper flower from Prima and finished with a little twinkly gem from Doodlebug Designs. Oh yes and my ever predictable Stickles glue!! That's me finished for this evening, going to have a glass of wine before bed.

Bouquet.

Went to the supermarket this morning for some necessities and picked up a copy of Simply Cards and Papercraft. It was accompanied by a little book of assorted designer papers which are just adorable. I was instantly attracted to this turquoise and pink combo and decided to team it up with some floral stamps from Clear Expressions. The papers are truly lovely but unfortunately I'm unaware of the designer, so I can't give credit where it's due. I coloured the image using my Whispers pens and Faber Castell watercolour pencils. Punched a little butterfly for a little added effect. I cut a little tag from the same book of papers and used a little run on from Crate Paper, I got so much value out of those rub ons, so versatile! I finished with a little Stickles glue and added a little gem from Papermania. This is especially for a friend who I really should try to see more off, I think we all make those promises but life has a way of keeping us from fulfilling them.
