Posh Girl :)

 

Hi sweet peeps and hope you are all OK today :)
I've got 2 card to share today, so firstly, it’s time to nip across the pond and join our friends over at the Simon Says Stamp challenge and this week our theme is

Anything Goes

The DT are showcasing AVERY ELLE and MAMA ELEPHANT products this week -  you don't have to use them of course, but if you have them we would love to see them  :-)

As always, our lovely Heidi is giving away a fabulous …

… for one lucky winner to spend …

… right here :)

So ….

 

.. here's the old card and it's a bright one (IRL it would take yer eyes out at 50 paces!!)

The stamp set I used is Avery Elle Hipster Hippopotamus -and it's a  verry popular choice.

 

It's a really versatile set I think because you could do a boy or girl hippo. I went for a girl hippo and I chopped her tail off and gave her a bow. I also over-stamped the specs and then glittered them in the style of ......

... the fabulous Dame Edna.

Hello possums :))))

I think they make our lil hippo look very posh indeedy!!

The papers are from a Doodlebug LOVEBIRDS 6 x 6 Paper Pad and the borders were punched using a Martha Stewart Punch DOILY LACE TRIM Deep Edge Edger punch.

 

 

So that's what I did and now it's time for you to let your creative thing do its stuff.
I'll be back soon as soon with some more cardage but till then have a fab day and huggiest of hugs to all xxx

Ohhhh So Trendy :)

Hi lovely peeps and hope you are all OK today.

I’m still sniffing and snotting like nobody's business (ugh, too much info there possibly!!) but I think that perhaps the achy limbs are not as bad today even if the old throat is still quite painful!!! Before we get to the card, just to let you know that my winner from last week’s Put A Stamp On It challenge will be announced later so please do keep checking. The winner of the $100 voucher will be announced on the challenge blog as well.

So time to head across the water and catch up with our friends over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge and this week our challenge is ….

We're So TRENDY …

as this week we are using designs that are very much on trend at the moment…

 

      NEON                                                  HEXAGON                                           CHEVRON

....  so you just need to include these in your projects this week :)

As always, our lovely Heidi is giving away a fabulous …

… for one lucky winner to spend …

…right here.

So …..

 

… this is what I did and this is just about as different as you could get for me, but I’m quite pleased with how it turned out :)

I’ll put linky pics at the end with all the stuff I used so you just need to click the pic and it should take you straight to the correct place in the shop.

I used chevrons and hexagons (no neon sadly) and the both are included in the DP. Not sure if I am stretching it a bit here but the stitching is also chevron shaped.

It is isn't it????

The star of the show – this lovely bloom.

I used 4 of the Prima Craftable blooms to maje it. I used one as a base and the other 3 I scrunched up and glued to the base flower before adding some Diamond Stickles.

I added a decorative brad and popped it onto a Kaiser White Flower Crochet Doily (these add a nice but of texture).

  

You can see the patterns on the DP in this pic :)

Here’s the shopping list …..

                                          

                         

So that’s me done for now and I’ll be back soon with my winner.

I’ll also be back tomorrow with something a little bit lilacy and a little bit minty. No sneakie peekie though cos I haven’t done the pics yet!!

Have the fabbiest of days and huggiest of hugs to all xxxx

Pink, Pretty & Pearly :)

     

Hi there sweet peeps and a very Happy Sunday to you xxx

I am a tad late with my card today because I have had techie probs again,  caused by a geriatric router but at least that is easy to sort now we know what it is and my new one is on the way.

But not only that, we have had something electrical ‘go’ and the fuse box tripped which caused  my oven to blow a fuse. This in turn caused me to blow a fuse because this is the second time this has happened and getting it fixed means that I have to call out Rangemaster which a) take ages  and b) causes them to whinge and whine that they cannot move it cos the stoopid tiler tiled around it so that it has to literally be lifted out. So our electrics have been on and off more times than a strippers g string today - grrrr!!! Why is it that stuff like this happens on a Sunday when Sparky McSpark isn’t working and my Richard is and I am by myself here!!!!

It’s been one of those days from the minute my eyes opened today.

But anyhoos, enough of my tales of woe – it’s time for the second …

 

We have our regular prize of a £10 voucher to spend in the Ribbon Girl online shop

as well as a stamp of your choice from the very generous Laila and Lisa at Lili Of The Valley

Our challenge this month is to create a girlie card ….

… and this is what I did.

Sweet Princess Tilda was coloured with these Copics -

Skin – E000, E00, E11, E21, R00, R02

Hair – E43, E50, E81

The rest -  R85, RV0000, RV000, RV00, Y21, Y28

The papers are all from the FQB Garden Fairies from Nitwits

So with all the pretties on sale in the Ribbon Girl shop, I was spoilt for choice what to use to be honest so here’s what I decided on in the end …

… a diamante heart stick pin, and this is pure beautimous for sure !!!

The blooms are -

pink carnations, pink two tone pretty blossoms and rose leaves.

 

Here’s a close up of that pin :)

I don’t want to part with it and Kyla’s eyes were on stalks when she saw it.

The bow was made using pink blush velvet ribbon and you can just see the 4mm pearl string that I edged the image panel with.

So that’s the old card done  and now I am off to have a lie down in a dark room, so  please excuse the shortie today. I am typing this so quickly in case the power goes again. Hopefully we will get it all fixed tomoz and normal service will be resumed.

Or whatever passes for normal in this house!!!

Enjoy your evening and huggiest of hugst to all xxx
