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

Sweet Stampin - Christmas

Cuddly Buddly - pearls and petals - pearls in the flowers on her hair, also flowers on the velum

Totally Papercrafts - bling it up - glittered wings, charm, clear glitter pen used

Allsorts - free and easy

Copic Oz - hair

i-copic - skin tones
Secret Crafter - monochromatic

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,

Charlotte Goes Shopping

Here I am to share another card with you that I have made for my nieces upcoming 16th birthday.

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

Sketch n stash - the brilliant sketch, i found so easy to use.I used a new digi stamp bought especially for Charlotte

Cfreative Craft - layers 10 layers in fact.

Isn't she brilliant.  Shes coloured with copic's and some glossy accents on her boots.  The gingham paper is off my friend Marion and all others are from my scrap drawer.  The gems in the corners have been in my stash since I first started card making 18 months ago.

This card just needs the wording "Sweet 16th, Charlotte" as its for my brother and his wife to give her.

Craft Mojo has gone on its holidays

For some reason my craft mojo has decided to take a holiday, hence the lack of posts off me recently.

I think the main reason has been the amount of pain I've been in due a couple of falls recently.

So today I have a card to share with you all and although it is fairly simple, with few embellishments I hope you like it.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Cardmakers - spots and stripes

Craft your passion - anything goes

Papertake - Anything goes

Stamptacular - doubles (2 glitter squares)

Paper Sundaes - stitching

Do you stack up - squares (square card and glitter squares)

Copic Oz - copic coloured embellishments
Bugaboo - anything goes

Spoonful of sugar - sewing

Sketch n stash - sketch below plus new TGF stamp and old striped paper

And here's my card :

She is coloured with copic's, with a little white gel pen to do the shine on her shoes and the spots on her t-shirt and bow.  She has been fussy cut out and then mounted with foam pads onto the lemon card.

The faux stitching is done with black glaze pen for a change.

The pearls and spotty ribbon are coloured with copic's to match the colour theme going on.

The striped paper was bought when I first started crafting as was the lemon glitter card used for the squares.  And believe it or not but the teal card is actually a left over from my childhood.  My Dad used to drive for some paper companies and would bring me card home every now and then.  Wish he still did, I would save a fortune.

Hopefully I will be back later in the week with some more cards, but sitting at my desk is pretty painful right now so I will just have to see how I get on,

For my stop on the hop I have 2 cards to show you, one for the girls and one for the guys.

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  :

Hair : E11,13,17,18

Hairband/pants : YG 63,67

Bows/tops : YG 00,03

Skin : E00,11

I am entering this card into the following challenges :

A spoon full of sugar - ribbons and bows

Sketch and stash - sketch

Do it with digi's - monochromatic

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

Pants - W1,3,5

Skin - E00, 11
