Ribbon Girl DT for the Ribbon Girl Colour Challenge - Aqua

Hello Everyone! It's been a while since I have shared a card with you on my blog. I am still incredibly busy and have not had much time to craft but took some time out this week to make a little hanging plaque as my DT piece for this month's Ribbon Girl Colour Challenge. Our  colour theme this month is Aqua, one of my favourite colours! I used some gorgeous papers from an old Glitz designs pad and the house I used as a centrepiece is a wooden shape from a pack of Christmas decorations I bought in a sale at M&S years ago.

I used lots of gorgeous Ribbon Girl goodies, including a white pearl and crystal branch, a wooden heart button, aqua ruffle edge sheer, aqua/silver glitter organza, Prima Treasure resin frame, aqua s/a gems, and my favourite mini cream vintage blooms. I used tea dye distress inks to age all the papers and the edges of the wooden shapes. 

I am having so much fun with Instagram these days I have decided to trial using Instgram photos on my blog. I love all the different effects you can create and the frames and the fact that it is so quick and easy to use. I hope you will be able to join in with our Challenge. We are sponsored by Lisa and Laila at LOTV and also The Ribbon Girl who are offering one randomly chosen winner two prizes of: 

Enjoy the rest of your Weekend!

My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Flowers week

Hello Everyone! It's my day for sharing a card on the My Mum's Craft Shop blog today I am kicking off a Floral themed week. I have made a card using one of the gorgeous new Inklylicious stamps called 'Blowing Bubbles'. Unfortunately, it has sold out but there are loads of other fabulous Inkylicious shadow stamps in stock which would also look great on a card like this. 

In keeping with the floral theme, I used a gorgeous backing paper from the Glitz Designs 'Uncharted Waters' pad. I stamped the image straight onto one of the backing papers and cut it out before I added it to a stamp edged die cut. The little words are from a Tim Holtz Chit Chat stickers pad.

I also added some Jute mesh, some paper flowers and a heart pin and finished with a couple of tiny buttons and some stick on pearls. Make sure you join us all next week on the blog for some fabulous floral inspiration from the My Mum's Craft Shop DT! Have a lovely Sunday!

Sugar Nellie DT - Fifi goes Walkies

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a good week so far. I have a card to share with you today which I made using the adorable Sugar Nellie stamp called 'Fifi goes walkies' which is available here from Funky Kits. She is so lovely to colour in and I gave her gorgeous glittery wings ! I coloured her to match the Glitz Designs 'Love you Madly' papers I used on my card.

I added some pretty pink satin ribbon and lots of paper flowers from my stash as well as a resin rose I bought from Katy's Deco Den. I cut my image panel using a Spellbinders die and added a Lili of the Valley stamped sentiment to the top right corner. I finished with some stick on pearls and gems.

Sugar Nellie DT - Bags of Fashion Mia

 Hello Everyone! It's my day for sharing a card on the Sugar Nellie blog. I have been playing with my gorgeous new 'Bags of Fashion' stamps this week. It's so lovely to have new rubber to play with and I love all the Bags of Fashion girls. I have used Mia on my card and coloured her in with my Promarkers before cutting her out leaving a small border.

I used Spellbinders dies to cut a card base and to cut the layers for my card using Glitz Design papers from the Uncharted waters pad.  I distressed the edges of all the layers and tucked a die cut doily behind my sentiment strip which I topped with a pearl swirl.

Here is a close up of my image. I love her outfit and her cool boots! I added her to card using foam pads and finished with a wooden butterfly and a paper flower. I hope you have a lovely Wednesday!

Sugar Nellie DT - Sent with Love

Good Morning Everyone! It's my day for posting on the Sugar Nellie blog today and I have a card to share with you which I made with one of my favourite Gorgeous Girls images called 'Sent with Love' which is available here from Funky Kits. I have coloured her to match these beautiful Autumnal papers from the 'Yours Truly' Glitz Design paper pad which came in my latest DT pack from My Mum's Craft Shop.

I have used one of my favourite layouts, layering all the papers onto kraft and stitching around the edges. I threaded the little tag with red lace and tied it with twine. The sentiment is an older stamp which I have had in my stash for a long time and I die cut it into a heart with a Spellbinders die.

My image was coloured with Promarkers and I added a little gem to her dress. I finished with some paper and a resin flower and more little gems. I hope you have a lovely Wednesday!
