Sprinkles!

This little card was created using a stamp I bought from Pink Gem Designs her name is Fairy Sprinkles. This is the second Sprinkles I've purchased, I think she's a sweetie. I used some scrap paper left over, its from Daisy Bucket I think and then mounted up some lilac card which I ran through the cuttlebug using the swiss dots folder. I then mounted up Sprinkles, which I coloured with my Faber Castell pencils with some foam pads. Added a little sticky border which came free with Papercraft Inspirations and added a little "thank you" sticker to match, finished with a little butterfly sticker and some Stickles glue. Nice.

First in a while.

Well it has to be said. This is the first card I've made in around 2 months and I have to say it's good to be back! I just lost it for a while. Life can throw up some situations which force hobbies and nice things onto the back burner, pity though. OK this little creation is one of the stunning Gorjuss Girls, I just adore these stamps and have done for a while from afar, so I decided to purchase to see if I could kick start the creative juices again. I just love the little face and her gorjuss hair. The image was coloured using Faber Castell watercolour pencils and mounted up on some freebie papers, they are actually Christmas papers! The little butterfly is also a freebie from a crafting mag, can't remember which though! I like this, think I may go for another one this evening.

Gem of a girl!

First addition in a while as I have been busy nursing my youngest back to health again, she's doing well now! This stamp was purchased a few weeks ago but only getting around to using it now. It's Fairy Sprinkles from http://www.pinkgemdesigns.co.uk I think she is toooo cute. I was using up some scraps as I do seem to have quite a few bits and pieces lying around so I thought the blue, brown, pink and lime green were a good combination. The images was coloured using Faber Castell pencils, the die cut flowers I got from E-Bay, the brad is from Papermania as is the little sentiment. I finished with come Stickles glue. The little frame cam free with a magazine. Enjoyed this one and really like the colours.

Looking after my wee one

Have'nt had a change to create anything new of late as I have been looking after my daughter who had a nasty fall from her horse and shattered her elbow and humerous, resulting in extensive surgery and a long rehabilitation period. So i'm rather tied up trying to make life a little easier for her at the moment. May take her out for a drive tomorrow and that may include a trip to the new craft shop in town, so I may be tempted to conjure up something new later in the week.

Friendship Flowers

These papers are my most recent digital purchase. The are from www.primahybrid.com, from their Beautiful Day selection. They are just lovely, very feminine, just what I like! The stamped sentiment is from See Dee's, stamped with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Tea Dye. A little ribbon from salvaged from a wedding invitation with pearls added. Understated, I like this one.

Birthday Sparkle

That last addition for the Dare you to Digi Stamp challenge has put me in the mood!! Loved the Pink Petticoat's "Lola's Rose" paper so I thought I'd use it here too, just in a different colour. The striped paper is from the same collection "Lola's Boudoir" as is the little stamp, the crown has been glittered using my ever faithful Stickles glue, love it!! Added some flowers from Prima and Green Tara and a little heart shaped brad from Papermania. The border was cut using my Carla Craft punch. Think this has turned out well!
