Eleanor Circus Clown

Hi everyone here is my entry for this weeks inspirational post at Fat-Tastic Tuesday Challenges here http://fattastictuesday.blogspot.co.uk/ .  This is lovely Eleanor the Clown and she is a Lucy Sunshine image. She is colored with Prisma Colored pencils and OMS.  I used a spellbinders die cut to cut her out.  This is known as a Fat Page and is 4x4 only.  I cut a small oval to mount the sentiment on.  The ribbon is from a prize I won at DigiDarlas Christmas 12 day giveaway.  The flower is a star flower from my homemade stash.  The back ground paper is some I bought at a garage sale so don't know who made it.  It has glitter dots on it so I glittered the balloons and the flower on her shirt.  Also added some to the flower for bling.  Plus the gem in the corner of the image.  I sure hope you will come down and join our challenge we have some great prizes and you get to meet the design team for this new site.  Looking forward to seeing your great works of art.  Happy Crafting everyone.

Fairy Lady

Hi all today I am showing my card as Guest Designer for the Outlawz color challenge for May 21st.
You can find the blog here.http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/colorchallenge.  This week we are doing Pink, Green and Yellow and the twist is anything with Wings.  I have chosen this image from Anna Stillwell from Cuddlebug Cuties.  Anna is another very talented artist and she has some of the most adorable images http://cuddlebugcuties.blogspot.com/  so go check her out.  She does a freebie now and then and I do believe this pretty fairy was a freebie.  I colored her with prisma color pencils and oms.  I fussy cut her and added the music tag for fun.  The background dp is from colorbox and the base card is the green.  I added the pink strip and put some glittery ribbon on it.  The butterflies are from stampin up die cut.  I hope you like my pretty lady.  Thanks for coming by to look at her.  Happy Crafting all.

Madeline

Hi everyone,  I want to introduce you to Madeline.  She thinks she is HOT! And I do believe she is.  The Challenge at Created With Love Challenges this week is Ribbons and Lace. So Madeline has both on the card with her.  I colored her with Prisma Color pencils and OMS.  I added the lace with a new Stamp set that I bought from Gina K. Designs that looks like lace.  I embossed it with white embossing powder and  I really think it does look like lace.  The ribbon I got last Christmas at Tuesday Morning while I was Christmas shopping (so did some for me too)  I got like 4 packages for $2.99 and was so happy.  I added the pearls to the bottom for some bling. Can't have enough bling if you ask me.  I hope you will all come down to Created With Love Challenges here www.createdwithlovechallenges.blogspot.com and join in the fun.  Lots of good prizes to be won as well as seeing what everyone else is posting.  Hope to see you there.

New Art

Hi all I wanted to show you my newest piece of art.  This is a Rick St. Dennis Image that was a freebie on his site but I missed the challenge that it went into, so decided to make it into this. I colored her with Prisma Color pencils and OMS.  I cut her out with a spellbinders die cut and the blue holographic paper behind her as well.  The flower on the bottom right is a spellbinders die as well a the corner cuts.  Some of the flowers are homemade and the small roses and some of the others are from Crafty City site.  The lace flower is some lace I got from a garage sale and just made a flower out of it. The blue and brown one is cut from a different die cut from Heartfelt Creations.  I added some gems and flourishes for bling.  Hope you like this piece.  I will enter it into "Anything goes" at Scrapbook Stamp Society Challege site here. http://scrapbookstampsocietychallengeblog.blogspot.nl/
It would be nice to see you all come down and enter it as well.  Love those anything goes and Sherri Baldy has some fantastic images.  They are also giving away a freebie if you want to use it to join the challenge.  Happy Crafting all.

Stars

Good Morning to you all.  Today I am showcasing my card  as a guest designer for the Color Challenge at the Outlawz
http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/colorchallenge.  I got this image as a prize for winning the monthly color challenge for March.  It is from Rick St. Dennis and she is a wonderful image to work with.  I love his images.  You should go over and check out his site he is very talented.  http://sparkleandglitterwithrick.blogspot.com/.  I colored her with water colored markers from Tombow and Stampin up.  I added her to the gold background card and mounted it with tacky glue.  The two swirls on here are brads that I found at Hobby Lobby.  They are glittery as well.  The black border was added and then I added some crystals to the border.  The stars are the twist for this week but there are also stars in her dress.  I just think she is the cutest fairy I have seen in a very long time.  Thanks to the Outlawz that I have her.  I hope you will come over and check out the color challenge.  The Outlawz have a different challenge each day and they run for a week.  The only one that is two weeks is the freebie challenge but you get two free images to work with.  The ladies on this site are all so generous and friendly. Come on you know you want to come see, so see you there.  Happy Crafting. 

Poppy Flower Pot Pretty

Good Morning everyone. I am so happy that you have come to visit my little corner of the world.  This is our second Challenge for the new webiste  http://fattastictuesday.blogspot.co.uk/.  This is the sketch we will be following for this week and my DT fat page that I made with an image from the Lucy Sunshine Shop.  Her name is Poppy Flower Pot Pretty.  She is one in a series of images drawn by Heather Valentin.  http://lacysunshine.blogspot.com.  I colored here in Prisma color pencils and OMS.  My base card is a 4x4 piece of paint chip and the top designer paper is a single sheet from Joannes and I don't know the maker of it.  The flower is a die cut from spellbinders and the butterfly is a sizzix die cut from stampin up. The sentiment is from Doodle Pantry.  I added the ribbon and I won that in a challenge at Digi Darla's 12 days of Christmas.  I hope you like my card.  Come down and join in the fun and you could be the winner of some nice digi stamps.  Hope to see you all there.

Birthday Bling it Up

Hi everyone hope you all have had a wonderful day so far.  I have and have been in my craft room all day getting caught up on all my card obligations today.  Let me tell you this card was a tough one for me for some reason, just couldn't get it the way I wanted it till I got some new paper from "Craft City" and then it all fell into place.  Strange how that works isn't it?  I love this paper it is a 6x6 pack and has some wonderful paper in it.  I got it yesterday and used it today.  Well I colored the image from Gingerloft designs with prisma color pencils.  I wanted her face to look a bit washes out so this is hopefully what it looks like to you all.  I added the butterflies and the jewels for the bling.  The image was added with pop dots to give it a bit of demention.  I hope you like it.  This is for the Challenge over at Created With Love Challenges here,www.createdwithlovechallenges.blogspot.com, so I am hoping you will come over an join in the fun with us.  The Theme is Birthday with bling!!  I know all of you love Bling so come play with us.  See you there.

This is my card as a guest designer for the first week in the month of May for the Color Challenge at the outlaws. http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/colorchallenge/forum/topics/may-7-color-challenge.  I colored the image with Prisma Color Pencils and OMS.  I cut the die cuts behind them with a spellbinders die cut and the paper is holographic silver paper. The Hearts at the top are from Hobby Lobby and the lace at the bottom is from Joannes and I had that in my stash.  I got the sentiment free off the internet.  The colors are Toque white, Domino black and Veiled Silver with a twist of Lace.  I hope you like my creation.  Happy Crafting.

Poppies

This is my second card for the challenge at the Outlawz freebie challenge CFC 05513. http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/cfc I colored it with prisma color pencils and OMS.  I cut it out with a spellbinder die cut and use the next largest to it for the back ground.  I used the coordinating paper for the card base and embossed the work enjoy on the base card.  It looked to plain to me so I added the green feathers and the hearts at the top and bottom of the card.  I hope you like it. It was a simple and quick card to do.  Thanks for looking.  Happy Crafting. I hope you will come by and see what fun we have at the Outlawz.

Altered Art Ice Tea Canister

This is the freebie image I got at the Outlawz for their freebie challenge here   http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/cfc  Tag CFC05513.  This is my second attempt at Altered Art.  It is a canister that I get with Instant Tea in for my hubby.  I will be putting Candy in it for my grandkids.  I think they they will like it.  The background paper is from a wall paper book and is pretty textured.  I fussy cut the image and colored it with prisma colored pencils and OMS.  I also die cut a variety of leaves from spellbinders and sissix dies.  the butterfly is a stampin up sissix die cut.  I added two jewels for bling.  I used the ribbon on top and bottom and down the back to hide where the paper didn't reach.  There are leaves all around the can.

And this is the back of the can so you can see what I have done to hide the seam as well.  I hope you all like my art. I want to thank you for stopping by to see it.  Happy Crafting. 

I would also like to enter this into the anything goes challenge at the Through The Craft Room Door challenge this week.  http://www.craftdoormagazine.com/2013/03/ttcrd-challenge-march-5-11-2013.html

For My Mother

Hi everyone hope you were all having a great day. This is for the challenge at Created With Love Challenges.  I hope you will stop over and see us and join in the fun.  www.createdwithlovechallenges.blogspot.com 

 Today I have a sweet card the image from "Cedar Chest Designs". http://www.cedarchestdesigns.com/ 

I colored the image with prisma colored pencils and OMS.  It was a great image to color.  The background paper is from a 8x8 pad that I was given by a friend. I thought it was appropriate for the holiday.  I chose red because it seemed to be the right color. I made the flower from a die cut from Spellbinders. The leaves were cut from the spellbinders die as well.  I inked the edges with red chalk ink.  I added a small ribbon rose to the center of it.  I added the gems to it for some bling.  I hope you like my creation. 

I would like to enter this into the It's a Bestie  Blog Hop challenge. http://www.bestieschallenge.blogspot.com/ Theme Happy Mothers Day.

Flower Altered Art Piece

This is my Flower Altered Art Piece,  I had this in mind but a bit different till I saw a utube video on doing that butterfly and knew I had to put that on this piece.  It is a stencil with the Dreamweaver paste and iridescence embossing power from Stampin up.  My girlfriend gave me the Dreamweaver paste and a lot of stencils and I never knew what I would do with it but wow I love this technique it is easy and so rewarding when you see the finished product.  The paper is from Craft City (which is absolutely wonderful paper and perfect for doing this type of project.  Some of the flower are from there as well and the yellow rose at the bottom is my creation.  the others are lace flowers that I made from lace I bought at a yard sale. I got tons of things from that sale for $5.00 and can't beat that. The top flower has a butterfly brad on it and the bottom is a hear bead I found in my stash. The leaves are die cuts from spellbinders and stampin up die cutes.  The line of beads is another thing I got from the garage sale.  I added the butterfly charm from my stash and the butterfly on the middle pink flower is a die cut from stampin up.  I really enjoyed doing this and my friend Archana from Facebook is so right it is addicting and I do love it so there will be more as soon as the brain comes up with a plan.  I hope you enjoy this and I do think I am going to put this one on my website www.scrapbookstampshop.com  for sale in the next few days.  I have some updating and adding to do to it but will be putting this and other items on there for sale.  Take care everyone and hope to see you around.  Happy Crafting.   

Happy Day

.

Hello all my crafting Peeps.  This is a Fat-Tastic Day here in blog land.  We are starting a new challenge blog and I am excite to be part of the new design team for this new challenge.  It is Called Fat-tastic Tuesday.  You can find it here http://fattastictuesday.blogspot.co.uk/
We will be doing what they call Fat Pages.  The are 4x4 cards or just a flat page that you layer your items on just like a card.  We will be doing the 4x4 cards and some altered art that is 4x4.  For the challenge you will be doing that as well.  I hope you will join us in all the fun I know we are going to have.  Ok now on to the card.  She is a Happy birthday girl.  I colored her with prisma pencils and OMS.  I layered her onto  two different designer papers.  The triangle is also two different designer papers as well. The base card is a 4x4 piece of designer two sided card stock.  The opposite side of it is behind the girl and is stripped. I added the little resin flowers and I thought they matched the flowers she is holding farily well.  I outlined the whole card with faux stitching. And used a sukura glitter pen on the stems and centers of the flowers.   We had to follow the sketch above.   I sure hope you will come join the fun

Ballon Girl Amelia's Birthday

Good morning everyone, I hope your having a great day.  Today is the premier day for FAT-TASTIC TUESDAY CHALLENGES. http://fattastictuesday.blogspot.co.uk/
 And I am excited to say that I am a on the new Design team for this new challenge site.  We will be doing a 4x4 card or fat page or some altered art at times.  They are fun, quick and easy cards to do and we have a sketch to follow.  I think once I colored my image it took me a whole 15 minutes to put the card together.  This one is a Fat page.  The backing paper is actually a paint chip from home depot that was 4x4 so it was perfect and the color worked great with my designer papers.  Can't get easier then that.  With Fat page you just keep layering on what you want but it is only 4x4.  You have fun with it and enjoy the process.  I hope you will all come see the new site and join in the fun.  This is groundbreaking news ladies.  The image was colored with Prisma colored pencils and OMS.  I added two different designer paper behind her and two on the triangle.  Then made some flowers with a Fiskars punch and the leaves are a stampin up punch.  I added the crystal and the heart crystals on the side and she was finished. Yep Quick and Easy. Please come down to the new site and join the fun.  Hope to see you there and in the mean time Happy Crafting.
