Mand's Teddy Bo card

So as you can see from the title the card I have to share with you today is by my best and maddest mate Mand.  She doesn't have a blog and so I told her I would enter it into challenges from my blog.

Mand originally came round for a bit of a copic class but when she saw my Teddy Bo cards for the past few days she wanted to try and colour a Teddy Bo.  After searching my vast Teddy Bo collection she chose one.  I said if she coloured black, white and one other colour she could enter the Teddy Bo challenge.  She got very excited and straight after colouring the card you are about to see she ran straight to the Teddy Bo shop and bought her first 6 images.  So wanna see Mad Mandy's card ??

Mandy would like to enter her card into the following challenges :

Teddy Bo - black white and one other colour

Pink Gem - sketch used

Pile it on - girls

Totally Gorjuss - as you like it

Bearly-mine - flowers

My time to craft - flowers

I would love it if you could leave Mand some of your lovely comments and then she might want to enter our blogging world,

Hello and welcome to a new challenge over at Magical Monday's.  For the next two week's we want to see you using our very own Heidi's sketch.  And please don't forget to use a magical image on your project. 

 As Christmas approaches don't forget that the main man Father Christmas and his sidekick Rudolf are magical characters, along with their ever so helpful elves.

This is the sketch that Heidi has designed for us all to work with.

And here is my take on the sketch :

Poor Teddy Bo, I don't think his Christmas job is exactly what he had planned.  This Bo is called Sugar Plum Fairy and he doesn't come with wings I added those in adobe elements.

No only is Bo in a skirt he's also been blinged up to his eyeballs.  Sorry Bo.

Bo is coloured with copic's and I then added glamour dust to his wings, blue ultra fine glitter to his stars and 2 coats of crystal ice stickles.

I used tumbled glass distress ink on the circle and the fancy tag.

The paper's are from the DCWV winter wonder stack.  The gems are fizzy moon and the ribbon is from my stash.

The sentiment was created by my very talented friend Marion.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges :

Totally Papercrafts - Christmas

Bunny Zoe - easel cards

Bearly-mine - bling

Cards for men - anything goes

Totally Gorjuss - cute and cuddly

Crafts 4 eternity - flags, tickets, tags (I used a fancy tag as a stopper)

Thanks to my great friend Marion I can share with you the word art she made me for this card.

Good luck everyone entering our challenge,

It's raining hearts on Teddy Bo and Bea

The other day I mentioned to my MIL that I wanted to do a shaker card and as soon as she saw Love Showers Teddy Bo digi stamp she said that I should get that and make it into the shaker card.  So as any good daughter-in-law would do I did as I was told and went to the shop and added love showers to my basket.  As I was there another couple of digi's fell in the basket and then I saw that Gayle had released the first lot of their new goodies, a new 8x8" patterned papers book so that fell in too.  Well it would be rude not to wouldn't it??

The papers arrived this morning and I'm regretting only buying 1 lot of papers.  They are gorgeous and printed on the best quality paper I've ever found.  I had planned on using them on this card but just couldn't take my scissor's to them. 

I am entering this card into the following challenge :

Bunny Zoe's - easel cards

Cute card thursday - weddings

Craft us crazy - anything goes

Teddy Bo - love is in the air

Anything goes - celebrations

Bearly mine - bling

Critter sketch - wedding

Stamptacular - fancy folds

Totally gorjuss - going round in circles

I began by colouring in Teddy Bo and Bea in sepia tones to match the gold sequin hearts.  The actual shaker piece is the plastic covering for the red thin super sticky tape.  I them went onto the gallery on Make the cut and found this gorgeous frame.  I needed to fiddle with it a bit to get it the perfect fit for my shaker.I them cut it out of punch tape and covered it in gilding flakes.  Next came the time consuming job of brushing off all the excess flakes, which wasn't easy due to the frame having so many fiddly bits.  I finally cut a shadow mat and glued everything together.  The front is finished with card candi by craftwork cards.

The inside was made to repeat the front, only making smaller frames to fit the wedding sentiment on.  The cream spotty paper is Bo Bunny double dot.

I think that just about covers it all,

My Daddy is Number 1

I'm not talking about my Daddy.  Well yes I am coz he is simply THE BEST, but this card is actually for another Daddy.  Ethan is sending his Daddy his very first birthday card and as Ethan is only 8 months old he asked me to help with it.

I would like to enter Ethan's card into the following challenges :

Sunday sketch n stamp - the sketch was mad for this image - new digi stamp, old glitter pen

Bearly-mine - bling

Anything goes - happy birthday

A spoonful of sugar - happy birthday

icopic - orange/blue colour scheme

Pollycraft - distressing

Cards for men - anything goes

Card making mamas - birthday cards

Craft us crazy - anything goes

On the sketch the image stands on a rectangle the holds the sentiment but I thought I would be nicer for the little boy on a podium as if he's won a prize of having the best Dad.  The little boy is by Mami Doodles and is called Daddy's boy.  He's coloured with copic's and has white gel pen as high lights on his shoe's and cheeks, and I have gone over the writing with a clear glitter pen to add some subtle bling.  The stars were cut on my cricut and are outlined in glamour dust glitter.  The gingham paper (that is edged in distress ink) is from my best bloggy friend Marion. Thank you ducky, I just can't get enough of gingham at the mo.  The devine twine has has some distress ink run over them to make them match the colour scheme better.

I just want to say a big thank you to all those of you who have become a follower.  As I have now made it into 3 figures I thought it was about time I had some blog candy so hopefully I will get the photos taken and get a blog post done tomorrow.

Big hugs
