Time to get all Tiddly Inky

It seem's such a long time since I entered a Tiddly Inks challenge and I thought it was time I put things right.

So today see's me entering a Tiddly Ink card into the following challenges :

Tiddly Inks - book inspired

Totally gorjuss - sketch used

Card making mamas - digi stamping

The crafty pad - blue and brown

Charisma cardz - anything goes

Stamp something - digi day

Prairie fairy - books

Simon says stamp - anything goes

I have used a mixture of two Tiddly Inks images.  I used Bloom Q and the books that were a freebie a while ago.  She is coloured with copic's and sakura blue and clear stardust pens.  The heart border was cut on my cricut using a cut file I found in the make the cut gallery.  The sentiment is computer generated.

I followed the sketch from Totally gorjuss and turned it on it's side.

I hope you like my card today and I will be back tomorrow morning with my Magical Monday DT challenge card.

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,

Hugs

Do you like my ticket?  If so then  save the tickets just below this card discription by clicking on it then left click and save as.

The image I have coloured with copic's is called Steampunk Luca.  The backing paper I found in my digi paper section, and I added steampunk corners from Delicious doodles.  The clock is a Tim Holtz sizzix die as is the cog in the top right corner.  The cog is covered in gilding flakes.  I used antique paper distress stain on both the edge of the image and the BP.  I then went round all the edges of the papers with my paper distresser.

Hope you like my card that's a little different from my normal style,

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,

Two posts in one day!!!

I've decided to give in and start on my Christmas cards.  

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

Sketch n stash - sketch used - new image used and velum bought in the january sales

Pixie Dust - monochromatic/ favourite colour - has to be sepia

Totally Gorjuss - Christmas

My time to craft - coffee colours

Copic Oz - hair

i-copic - skin tones

So where do I start? Well the image is called Winter Fairy and is by Wee Stamps.

I began firstly by colouring her in with my copics.  I then added glamour dust for her wings, latte glitter flock for her cuffs on her coat, white flower soft on the floor, pearls in her hair and on her wand and finally clear glitter pen on her headband and the holly berries.  The image is then finished by adding a metallic brown dotted border.

The poinsettia velum on the upper half of the card is by papermania and is called "A Christmas Carol pack"  Gorgeous stuff and highly reflective.

The lower PP is by dovecraft from the let it snow stack.  Both ribbons are from my stash.  The charm is actually silver, I just coloured it with my copics.

So there you have it. I hope you like it,

Hugs
