Teddy Bea is all girly and pink

I was trying to think today if I had ever coloured Teddy Bea in girly pink.  I couldn't remember one so thought I'd give it a go.

I would like to enter my girly pink Bea card into the following challenge :

Simon says stamp - brilliant sketch used

Pile it on - girls just wanna have fun

Stamptacular - diva with attitude or style (Bea is THE most stylish bear around)

Emerald Fairy - birthday

Card making mamas - birthdays

Charisma cardz - glitter

A spoonful of sugar - birthday

My time to craft - here come the girls

Digital Tuesdays - cute and girly

I began by colouring Teddy Bea with my copic's.  I changed the orientation of parts of the sketch to fit in with embossing folder.I wanted my hearts to go top to bottom.  I then die cut the swirl and flower from the cricut cart accent essentials.  The white panels are embossed with a country companions hearts embossing folder.  The double loop punch is a Martha Stewart favourite.

I hope you like my card and come back again some time.

It feels like a Magical Monday

Hello and welcome to another Magical Monday.  Here I am to share my card that I've made for this weeks challenge.  What's the challenge??  Well this time we have gone for a colour theme of

RED and TEAL.

I've never used this combo before, but I'm quite pleased with how its turned out.

Now if you colour your images with copic's you need to check out Suzanne Deans Color me creative challenge as she has also chosen the same colour combo of red and teal, but she has also included white. 

So why not pop on over to Magical Mondays and see what great cards the design team and guest designers have got for you.

Don't forget to use a Magical image such as a dragon, wizard or fairy.  Cards entered without a magical image will be removed from the challenge.

So enough of me waffling on, here's my card :

Isn't she just so adorable.  I used a Wee stamps image for the last magical monday card but I loved the designs so much I decided to use a different one.

She is coloured with copic's.  She has clear glitter pen in the centre's of each flower and on the bells at the bottom of her pants.  The wings were coloured and covered in glamour dust, or stripper dust as my friends husband called it.

The iridescent teal paper came from my local craft stall  when she was closing down.

The ribbon is from my vast collection of ribbons.  The red gem flower on the bow was bought from Every Crafts A Pound.   And finally the charm hanging below the bow is from a necklace I pulled to pieces.

So what are you waiting for??  Go and grab your magical images and get creative.

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

Pixie Dust Studio's - for the great sketch used

Do it with digi's - summer fun

Do you stack up - wings

Cuddly Buddly - add a charm

Stamp Something - favourite embellishments - glitter and ribbon

Colour me creative - red, teal and white
The outlaws - things with wings

Cuddly Buddly Crafts first challenge

When they say something has been a labour of love I think they had this card in mind.

This card has taken me all day to do today, in-between stupid printers and severe back pain came this card.

I am entering this card into the following challenges :

Cuddly Buddly Crafts - something new (this challenge, the ribbon and the digi stamp)

Creative Crafts challenge - flowers

Emerald Fairy Challenge - all things girly

Stamp Something- use a digi

Sunday Sketch and stamp - the sketch below

And here is my card :

This cute girl is called Sweet Blossom and she's a digi stamp available from Cuddly Buddly Crafts.

The clouds background was done using a stipple brush, tumbled glass distress ink pad and a cloud template.  Sweet blossom has been coloured as usual with my copics.  She has gems in the centre of her flowers and glamour dust glitter on the green swirls, butterflies and the buttons on her top and her headband.

The sentiment is computer generated and then printed onto the panel cut on my cricut.  I continued the cloud effect on the sentiment panel aswell.

The pink BP is just from my stash and the beautiful ribbon has come from my great friend Marion.

I hope you have enjoyed your stop here and please consider returning and maybe becoming a follower,

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.

It must be a Magical Monday

Today marks the first day on the Magical Monday design team.  Our challenges last for 2 weeks and so that gives you plenty of time to dig out your magical stamps.

Our next challenge has a theme of Punches and Embossing.  Don't forget to use a Magical image in order to be in a chance of winning our prize which is your choice of 3 sheets of Decoupage from The 

Crafty Purple Frog.

Here is my card for the challenge :

I made a twisted easel card. 

Here is a close-up of the beautiful fairy 

And here you can see how I trimmed her out and popped her up on foam pads 

For this card I chose to use my trusty Martha Stewart double loops punch to fit in with the current magical monday's challenge.

Here's how I made my card. 

I chose the gorgeous Ally and beeble from the Australian company Emerald Fairy Garden.  She has some of the best fairies around and I struggled picking just one.  I them coloured with my copics and added glamour dust to het wings and sakura clear stardust pen to the ladybugs spots.  I then very carefully cut her out.

The green and blue panel behind Ally was made by blending crushed olives, faded jeans and bundled sage.  I then sprayed my perfect pearls mist to give it some extra sparkle.

The plain blue and green cardstock is american crafts.  I don't know the make of the stripy paper I'm afraid but the strip on the base of the card has got glamour dust across each colour change.

I am entering this card into the following challenges :

Papertake weekly- anything goes

Emerald Fairy Garden - lots of bling

A spoonful of sugar - summer
Paper Sundae's - Girly

The Sweet Stop - for the sketch I changed the flower for the strip of punched loops

The design team have once again outdone themselves and are well worth having that closer look.

I hope you come and join us over at Magical Monday's.

Hugs
