Mand's Teddy Bo card

So as you can see from the title the card I have to share with you today is by my best and maddest mate Mand.  She doesn't have a blog and so I told her I would enter it into challenges from my blog.

Mand originally came round for a bit of a copic class but when she saw my Teddy Bo cards for the past few days she wanted to try and colour a Teddy Bo.  After searching my vast Teddy Bo collection she chose one.  I said if she coloured black, white and one other colour she could enter the Teddy Bo challenge.  She got very excited and straight after colouring the card you are about to see she ran straight to the Teddy Bo shop and bought her first 6 images.  So wanna see Mad Mandy's card ??

Mandy would like to enter her card into the following challenges :

Teddy Bo - black white and one other colour

Pink Gem - sketch used

Pile it on - girls

Totally Gorjuss - as you like it

Bearly-mine - flowers

My time to craft - flowers

I would love it if you could leave Mand some of your lovely comments and then she might want to enter our blogging world,

Teddy Bea is all girly and pink

I was trying to think today if I had ever coloured Teddy Bea in girly pink.  I couldn't remember one so thought I'd give it a go.

I would like to enter my girly pink Bea card into the following challenge :

Simon says stamp - brilliant sketch used

Pile it on - girls just wanna have fun

Stamptacular - diva with attitude or style (Bea is THE most stylish bear around)

Emerald Fairy - birthday

Card making mamas - birthdays

Charisma cardz - glitter

A spoonful of sugar - birthday

My time to craft - here come the girls

Digital Tuesdays - cute and girly

I began by colouring Teddy Bea with my copic's.  I changed the orientation of parts of the sketch to fit in with embossing folder.I wanted my hearts to go top to bottom.  I then die cut the swirl and flower from the cricut cart accent essentials.  The white panels are embossed with a country companions hearts embossing folder.  The double loop punch is a Martha Stewart favourite.

I hope you like my card and come back again some time.

Craft Your Passion Challenge 72 - They said what?!?!?

Welcome to another week at Craft your passion and our theme this week is "They said what!?!?!

I got to work with one of  Bugaboo's great images.

Wanna see??

I began by colouring my Grandma with copic's and I then added her white spots to get dress with a white gel pen and glossy accents to her glasses.  I then went overboard in the old matting and layering stages.

The corrugated card along the bottom has bakers twine wrapped around it.  I embossed a piece of white card with my sizzix big spots embossing folder and I added a piece of stripy red ribbon along the top.

To follow the sketch perfectly I did need to add another panel but when I did it looked too much so I removed it again.

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

My time to craft - G for .... Grandma

Sketch Saturday - great sketch used

Craft Your Passion Challenge 71 - Anything But A Card

Hi and welcome to Craft your passion's 71st challenge.

This week we want to see anything but a card.  Yes that's right, no cards please.

For my ABC I have chosen to do an easel drawer box.  I found the idea here on Split Coast Stampers.

The image is coloured with copic's.  I have added glamour dust glitter to the Tiddly Inks Fairy Fae's wings, fun flock to the dandelion clocks and clear glitter pens to the tops of the mushroom.  Isn't the mushroom great?  Its by Pixie Cottage Stamps.  The tattered rose is handmade from a hand torn circle of card.  The leaves are from a woodware grass punch.

*This card would also qualify for the Magical Monday's challenge.  It's banner or pennants plus glitter.  It must also include a magical image, such as fairies, elves, wizards.*

I would like to enter my easel drawer into the following challenges :

Top Tip Tuesday - all straight lines

My time to craft - fairy tales

Creative craft - summertime

Papertake - make your own flowers

Anything goes - birthdays

A spoonful of sugar - birthdays

Moving along with the times - fantasy

Card making mamas - birthdays

Allsorts - anything but a card

Craft us crazy - anything goes

Thanks for dropping on by and I hope to see you again soon,

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,

Hugs
