Girls card

I've had a little play again with the new Funky Fairy girls papers. I decided it was time to air my cows Penny Black stamp again. I've not used it for almost 2 years! I've used watercolour pencils to colour the image in and added a hand written sentiment and a Lakeland bloom.

DCM challenge - butterflies

The new challenge is butterflies - anywhere on your card. A tricky one for me as I don't actually have that much in the way of winged things in my stash. However after a hunt around I came up with a quick and simple card.


A small butterfly stamped directly onto the card, framed with a frame stamp on patterned paper (crate paper I think). I also stamped a floral border up the left hand side of the card. Used watercolour pencils for the colouring and added some glitter glue. Only took 20 mins.

Another card & matching bookmark

I enjoyed making the challenge one so much that I made another! This was for my good friend Lydia's birthday.


Again I used Pinkie Pops papers, doodling and the my friend stamp, but I also used some new stamps - Mindy's flowers by Autumn Leaves. I lurve them! Have used watercolour pencils to colour them in and also added some sparkle with glitter glue.

DCM challenge - pins & needles

I bought the latest download from Funky Hand today. What delicious papers they are! You can find them here. I used them when making this weeks DCM challenge "pins & needles" - design a card using pins or needles of some sort.

















I made a brown square card blank & covered with one of the papers from paper blossom at Funky Hand. I then cut a strip of stripy paper (again paper blossom) and adhered it 2 thirds of the way down the card. I stamped Lola (Sugar Nellie) onto white card and coloured her with watercolour pencils, then partially cut her out and mounted her on more paper (paper blossom again) and then onto brown card. I doodled stitches around Lola. Next I cut out one of the patterned flowers and a "Happy Birthday" sentiment and mounted lower right. I edged the flower with glitter glue and attached some DCWV ribbon with a safety pin to the lower right of the card. Lastly a velvet Prima flower and jewel brad in the top right corner.

My time to craft challenge

This week the challenge is sparkle - use shiny card, gems or glitter.

I needed to make a 3rd birthday card as my girls are going to a birthday party tomorrow so I made this my challenge card.

































I used a white deckle edged A6 card, free papers from a past issue of Papercraft Essentials, black card, fairy stamp from Dimension fourth Ltd, chipboard number 3 from Craftwork Cards triple embossed with pink ultra thick embossing powder by Blonde Moments, watercolour pencils, buttons, Woodware sentiment stamps and pink glitter (on the fairy wings).

Cute rabbit

I love this Sugar Nellie stamp. For this card I used a lemon pearlescent card blank, glitter matt stack paper by DCWV, watercolour pencils, glitter glue, hot pink card, doodling and a sentiment flower by Craftwork Cards.

My time to craft challenge

This week the challenge is quotes & sayings. I used paper by fancy pants designs, a die cut saying, doodling and a Sugar Nellie stamp.

Monkeh/scrummystash cafe challenge

What can I say other than I love my monkeh! I have had fun playing with him tonight. The challenge at Scrummystash cafe is to add decorative borders/edges to your project. I've used Pirate Monkey - from Sugar Nellie, Flower & stem die cut by Craftwork Cards, watercolour pencils and inking/doodling a border around the flower die cut and the card itself. For the card below I also used stamps by paperartsy. Ooh and glitter glue on both.

Funky Fairy's challenge - bling!

It's Han's turn to set the dare this week and she wants us to bling up our cards.
















I played with my new monkeh!! He is from the new little cotton rabbits range at Sugar Nellie. He is soooo cute (although today he is a girl as he's in pink & purple!). I coloured him with watercolour pencils. The card is a lilac square blank. I've used a freebie download paper for the backing (available here http://funkyfairyinspirations.blogspot.com/) and made a frame using lilac lush paper available from Funky Fairy's papercrafts. The bling came in several forms - glitter glue on monkeh's jumper, shiny bead wire wrapped round the frame and jewels in each corner of the card and the centre of the prima flower. Monkeh is suspended upside down - the cheeky devil!
:-)

Easter gift bags finished

All done now. And they fit in with the mid week challenge from the daring cardmakers too. I have used Pinkie pops pp by Funky Fairys and images by Pink Petticoat. Unfortunately I'm tired tonight so the cards & bookmarks I made to go with the bags are a bit slap dash. The bags are filled with yummy chocolate goodies from Hotel Chocolat! I kinda want to keep them!

Funky Fairy's Challenge 12

This weeks challenge is set by lovely Lydia and it is to "cut up your cards" - anyway you want to as long as it has been cut.

This is my effort!















I cut an aperture into my card and placed an image (Pink Petticoat) behind the aperture using 3d foam. The image was coloured with watercolour pencils. I used colourful daze paper available at Funk Fairy's papercrafts. I doodled a frame to go round the aperture, then added a huge bloom to the card.

Girly card/My Time To Craft Challenge

This was my last make of the day and it fits in nicely with the My Time To Craft Challenge which is "Tickled Pink". Hot pink card blank embossed with the cuttlebug friends folder. I also ran over the raised bit with a white ink pad. I stamped Lola image onto white card and watercoloured her in. I 3d foam mounted her on to the card, then made a flower with pink ribbon and attached with a pearl brad. Finally I edged the entire card in black. I do so like making girly cards :-)
