Fantasy Stampers - All About the Girl

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

The weekend is here. There is so much to do. Our daughter's rabbits are coming to stay next week and we need to clear the room they will be staying in.  There is a lot of stuff in the room it is going to be a bit of a job to sort it all out and to find places for all the things to go.

The new challenge starts today on the Fantasy Stampers Challenge blog and the theme is All About the Girl.

The stamp I used was a large one it is Gorjuss - the Runaway by Docrafts. 

I stamped the image with black archival onto watercolour card. Then I coloured it with my Spectrum Noir sparkle pens. I keep choosing images that are good to use with the pens as I love using them so much. The sentiment came from the Birthday Blooms stamp set.  I made the frame with some of Sue Wilson's Noble dies. 

I cut one of the Sue Wilson border dies from the French collection and place it under the image. The backing paper was from my stash. 

If you check back on the Fantasy Stampers Challenge blog tomorrow the winners of the last challenge will be announced. 

I hope that  you have a wonderful weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Delightful Digi's - Bear Hugs at Christmas

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How has your week been so far? I was on a trip yesterday our school is having art week and I was on a trip so that the children could sketch trees and water. The rain that had been forecast held off. We went to Holly Hill Woodland Park near Fareham. It is a lovely place to visit.

I have another Christmas card for you. That is three I have made so far,  there are lots more I would like to make. I used two images from Delightful Digi's Christmas collection and a backing paper.

The card started with an 8" x 8" card blank . I used Bear Hugs and the Rectangular Frame from the Christmas collection. On the computer using Publisher I put the teddies inside the frame and I printed  the result onto 160 gsm card. The backing paper I used  is Poinsettia paper in red. 

The image was coloured with Promarkers. I added some gold PVA dots to the center of the poinsettia's on the frame. I do like my traditional Christmas colours. I did also make the teddies into Southampton supporters, red and white for Saints. I know just who to give this card she and her husband have season tickets. 

The sentiment was cut with a Signature Die in red and gold so that I could have a drop shadow effect. 

I hope the rest of the week is kind to you. I will be back some time to let you know how I get on with the Brushos.

Happy Crafting

Delightful Digi's Baby Blue Teddy Bear

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

How has your week been so far? Yesterday I was on a school trip to our local hands on science centre. It is an amazing place to go and nowhere does it say "don't touch". I do always get very tired after a trip,  a nice cup of tea usually sorts it out.

This is my latest card for  Delightful Digi's using the O-Sew- Sweet collection.

Click on the logo to visit the blog to buy the images you see.

I used the Ted image and the quilt background in blue. 

I printed the image twice. I kept one as a background and coloured Ted with Promarkers and the cushion with some Spectrum Noir pencils. Then I coloured the feet and the head on another image and cut them out and I used some gel glue to hold them away from the main image. The heart I cut out and covered with Flower Soft to give it some texture. 

I think this would make a nice card for a birth announcement that is why I choose the sentiment "With Love" also available from Delightful Digi's

I hope the rest of the week is kind to you. 

Happy Crafting
