Teddy Bo and Teddy Bea are getting married

As soon as I saw the Teddy Bo image "Hatched, matched and dispatched" I wanted to colour it.  Though to be honest I want to colour ALL the Teddy Bo images.  I'm seriously addicted to the furry guy n his girl.

This card is for my Brother and Sister-in-laws 19th wedding anniversary on the 22nd of this month.  I hope they like Teddy Bo as all three cards I need to make for them with be featuring Teddy Bo and Bea.

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

Mad for markers - use spica glitter pens - the back lights of the car are coloured with clear glitter pen

icopic - fur

Anything goes - celebration - wedding anniversary

Teddy Bo - love is in the air

Cute card thursday - clean and simple - only embellishment used are the tin cans

Sentimental Sundays - shaped cards

Craft us crazy - anything goes

Creative craft - summer - summer is also wedding season

So what do you think??  This card took me quite a long time, but it was a labour of love.  The card measures 14x13cm so quite a large area to colour.  It is coloured as always with my wonderful copic pens.  I used burgundy as my accent colour for this card as that was the colour of the bridesmaids dresses when they got married.  The number plate is their surname.

I imported the digi stamp into make the cut programme to create the shaped card base, in grey and black.

I have added glamour dust glitter to Bea's veil and clear sakura glitter pen to the back lights of the car and the wheel hubs.  Which look great when you move it around in the light as the car lights look like they go on and off.

The"cans" are attached with bakers devine twine and are covered in tin foil. 

Thanks for dropping on by today and I hope you come back again soon,

I won, I won!!

Yes once again I got to do the happy dance.  I won over at Here Come The Boys

And I came top 3 at Mad for markers.

I will be back later with lots of new cards to share.  Don't tell anyone but I'll be glad when I have all my card orders done.  I know I need the money for some new copic's and a couple of blades for my trimmer but I could so do with a rest,

Happy Sweet 16 Charlotte

You know you're getting old with your neice's and nephews starting hitting those special birthdays.  In the space of 12 days my 2 nieces turn 16 and 21, and my nephew turns 11.  So expect plenty of  of special birthday cards in the next few weeks.

Todays card is for Charlotte who turns 16 on the first of August.

I am entering my card into the following challenges :

Mad for markers - Pink and yellow

Sketch Saturday - for using the sketch below

Digital Tuesdays - using dies (die cut butterflies)

Pixie Dust - girly

Do it with digis - spots or stripes (stripy paper used)

Tickled Pink - cute with a butterfly

Totally Papercrafts - girly

Allsorts - free and easy

Icopic - birthdays

Craft your passion - just for you

So what do you think?

The image I have used is Lil Lolita Kellita and as its digi week you can get her as a digi stamp.  She is coloured with my copic's.  I have added a little white dot on her eyes so that they look like they are shining and I also coloured her pupil in with black glaze pen to add to the shine.

The image, sentiment (computer generated) and striped and yellow card stock are all been given a edge of distress ink in spun sugar.

The butterflies were die cut, glued along the body to add dimension and then given an edging of glamour dust glitter. 

So until next time,

Hugs

Gotta love a red head

This is my first attempt at a red head and I'm quite pleased with how she has come out.

I am entering this card into the following challenges :

Mad for markers - red heads

Colour me creative - folds, pleats and ruffles

Emerald Fairy Garden - all things girly

Do it with digi's - monochromatic (except hair and skin)
Tickled Pink stamps - flowers

Pink Gem challenge - the sketch below

And here's my card :

Just realised I forgot to put gems in the corners of my image, will do it now and you will just have to imagine them.

My image is Lil Victorian Steampunk Lolita Evie and she's available from Tickled Pink Stamps, as a digi at the moment and also as rubber.

She is coloured with copics.  The flowers in the corner of the image are from a necklace Mum got me from our local supermarket for 50 pence and which I pulled to pieces.  The ribbon is organza with silver thread running up each side and is from my stash.

The papers are from my scraps drawer.  I am trying to use scraps rather than cut into anything new.  Doing well so far.

Thanks for dropping in today and I hope you came back soon.  I also wanted to say a huge thankyou to all of you who kindly leave me such wonderful comments, they mean alot and I can't thank you enough.

I am getting closer and closer to getting 100 followers.  When I get to 100 I will be holding a blog candy as a thankyou.

Here's my The Greeting Farm card :

I'm guessing that some of you won't recognise this cutie, well she's actually a mix of two different TGF stamps.  I got the idea from this post on the Greeting Farms blog, I just used photoshop as they were digi stamps.

The two different girls are called Wild Sprout Audrey and Cupcake Anya.

She is of course coloured with my trusty copics and has clear gems on her bunches in her hair that have been coloured with copics to match the colour scheme, as has the ribbon running across the card and the gems in the left hand side corners.

The papers are from my straps files.

I used the following copics  :

And now onto my second card :

The image used this time is a Spesch stamps and is called Max.

He is of course colled with my beloved copics.

The papers are freebies from a magazine, the ribbbon and square gems are coloured with copics to match his pants and the border punch used is a fiskars bracket punch.

The stars were cut from a DCWV Rockstar 12x12 stack.  I then cut out the black sections and replaced them with the grey of the card.  The sentiment is computer generated.

The copics used are :

Hair - E55,57,59

T-shirt - R14,35,37,Boo,o2,05

Totally loving Tickled Pink Stamps

This post is my final one as a  Fiskarette, my three months are up and it's time for some new designers.

Tomorrow I will go through all I've learnt about Fiskars products, my favourites pieces and what I now can't live without.  

The card I'm sharing with you all today features one of Tickled Pink Stamps Lil Victorian Steampunk images called Victorian Steampunk Lad Luca.  I really struggled choosing which one to have as I bought quite a few of the digis in the last week as a pick me up after having stupid amounts of pain with my back.  Ok more than quite a few, I bought 8.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

TotallyPaperCrafts - punches and die cuts

Bugaboo - its a mans world

Suzanne Deans copic Challenge - brown hair

Mad for Markers - brown hair

Tickled Pink Stamps - the sketch below

And here's my card :

Luca is coloured with my copics, and he is edged with vintage photo distress ink.

The BP has been edged with the same distress ink, as has the circle.  The papers are from my stash pile, the kraft cardstock has been embossed with Fiskars squares texture plate and then spritzed with perfect copper perfect pearls mist as has the circle.  The ribbon was from a set from TK Maxx.  The punched spotty strip is done with my fiskars bracket border punch.  The ticket was made by the every talented Marion.

Thanks for dropping on over,
