#2016BestNine

I love the Best Nine Website that finds the nine most liked Instagram pictures from the last year. Mine was a lovely look back and contained equal numbers of some of my favourite digi artists - KennyK Stamps. Make it Crafty, Saturated Canary & Noxine Stamps. 

After a three month long spell of complete lack of Mojo I'm hoping I'll be crafting again soon. I've never gone this long without colouring.

Here's to a Happy and Healthy 2017 xxx

Happy Birthday Jasmine of Noxine Stamps

It's my lovely friend Jasmine's birthday today. She's the creator of Noxine Stamps so I just had to create her a card using one of her own digis. We've entered the first really cold snap of winter here in the UK so I decided to colour Autumn Dance Aviva in a winter colour theme. I know she's meant to be autumnal, but those leaves sort of reminded me of falling snow or ice.

The light is bad in here today so the photos look a little washed out. I did stick to far lighter colours than I normally use though.

I used the sparkles technique that Zoe of Make it Crafty uses to give her dress some sparkle.

Happy Birthday Jasmine. I really hope you like her.

Princess Aviva from Noxine Stamps

I've used the beautiful Princess Aviva from Noxine Stamps and cropped her to make her the focus of the card

The sentiment was a freebie from Create with TLC. I think the sentiment is so true and something we all need to live by.

Here's a close up of  Princess Aviva. Look at all those gorgeous folds!

It's difficult to see on camera but I added Wink of Stella to her dress so it's like a beautiful shimmery evening dress. 

I really hope you like her and would love to see what you create with Princess Aviva very soon x

Autumn Dance Aviva from Noxine Stamps

Hi Everyone - it's Lucy here and I'm very excited to have been asked to be GDT for Noxine Stamps for the month of October! I've been crafty friends with Jasmine for a while now & love that she's started creating her own stamps - especially as they've turned out so beautifully.

It's definitely turned cooler here in the UK and there's a feel of autumn in the air so for my first creation I used Autumn Dance Aviva. I think she's so beautiful and I had lots of fun playing with the autumnal colours.

Here's a close up of Autumn Dance Aviva. I tried to colour her dress to represent the changing colours of the autumn leaves. It took a few attempts, but I think I got it close in the end.

I added some shimmer to her wings with Wink of Stella and Sakura Stardust pens.

Here's a close up of the swirling leaves. The sentiment was a freebie from Create with TLC.
