Crafts 4 Etermity All that Glitters

Hi peeps, this is my second entry as GDT for Crafts 4 Eternity.  The  theme is All that Glitters using sketch S#105.  To make this card I used a LOTV stamp from  set #1 'Oh So Girlie'  I love these stamps they are so cute and a joy to work with.  I've coloured the fairy with Pro markers and glittered the edges of the skirt and wings.  I've layered Nestabilities half scallops to the outer edges of the circular card and further decorated the scallops with button discs.  Prima flowers and ribbon complete this card.

I will enter this card into the following challenges.

Pretty in Pink Tilda

It's been a  funny few days, I went to a craft show at the weekend stocked up on a few bits and pieces which added up to more than I had intended to spend, nothing unusual there,except to say the show was uninspiring and heavens above boring, since then I've had no inclination to do any crafting or painting in fact I felt like giving everything away and never doing anything creative again, pretty scary for someone who likes to create on a daily basis, today I decided to tidy up the craft table and clear out any Gremlins that might just have been lurking and found the old mojo hidden in my Promarker drawer.  Oh joy!  I'm back to crafting. 

For this card I've used this months CLP challenge sketch, I've used Promarkers to colour the images, the background garden scene is a digital stamp from Squiggle Fly, which I layered over a sky background which I've coloured with various inks.  Flowers, lace, glitter and gems  complete the card.

Wacky Weather -Crafts 4 Eternity Challenge Recipe 53

I was thrilled to have won the GDT position for October with Crafts 4 Eternity.  As always happens when  working to a deadline something always happens that puts a screw in the works and this morning for some reason I was unable to up load my picture it took a few attempts before windows stopped closing my connection. 
 The theme this week is Wacky Weather using a sketch recipe #53 For this card I've used a stamp from Lili of the Valley set#1 'Oh so Girlie which I've coloured with Promarkers.  For the background I've used various inks and handmade masks to create the landscape and as the theme is Wacky Weather I decided to try and create the feeling of a warm balmy day . I've used various pattern papers, lace, ribbon and flowers to complete  the card.

Totally Papercrafts - Challenge #36 The Great Outdoors

Fairy Tilda Card

This card was so much fun to make, I started by weaving part of the background paper adding gold stripes to some of the edges.  The lace edge is made from parchment paper cut with a Martha Stewart border punch, I then further embellished the lace with simple embossing, next I cut and punched a strip of pink card to match  the parchment.  After experimenting with the parchment lace border I decided to try cutting the centre circle with a nestabilities scallop circle and decorated the edges again with simple embossing, only this time I decided to use a needle tool to further enhance the decoration.  See the picture below for a close up.

I made the heart from various sized punches cut from scrap card and paper decorated with gem and glitter.  Ribbon and beige/brown roses complete the card.  Tilda was coloured with Promarkers with glitter added to the wings and dress.  I had forgotten how relaxing it is to work with parchment, I think I will have to work on more :-)  Hope you like and thank you in advance for stopping by and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

It was decision time this morning, do the housework or craft, crafting won the day but I can't ignore the dust forever especially now that the dining table is full of crafty mess. 

I bought Woodland Fairy last week and have been itching to play with it so decided to enter the Sugar Bowl Challenge using Lilians Sketch.  I've coloured the image with Pro Markers, I made the flowers last week and these are the last of my batch, a link to make them is in my previous post, I must get on and make some more. Sorry this is a rushed post.
Thank you in advance for visiting I appreciate you kind interest and comments.

One of those days

Ever had one of those where you were given the run a round, passed from pillar to post, wrong department, try this one, sorry you need to speak to so and so etc etc !!  Well that was my day so what do you do when you've pulled enough hair to create wig you bring out the stamps browse through the challenge blogs and stamp, stamp, stamp the frustration away.  Thank goodness I can loose myself in paper and bling.  I've now resurfaced feeling calm and at peace with the world, that is until tomorrow.

Usually I only create a card that fits maybe one or two challenges, but I've excelled by myself to day and I think this card will qualify for a few, that is if I don't get my links all messed up!!.

For this card I've used the sketch from Midnight Madness Challenge MMSC 72 this will be the first time  I've entered one of their challenges. The Girlie stamp is from set #1 ' Oh so Girlie' by lili of the Valley I've coloured the image with Pro Markers and made the flowers from ordinary cartridge paper  coloured with inks with beads added to the centres, lace ribbon and charm complete the card. Ooops forgot to mention glitter added here and there on the image.  I followed a lovely tutorial by Valita to make the flowers which can be found here

Hope you like and a big thank you for all your interest and comments
