Under The Weather with Digital Delights

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all well.

There's a new challenge at Digital Delights by Louby Loo.

Here's my little bit of inspiration using the super cute Splish Splash Susie and the Feel Better Sentiment Set

I've used a cloud shaped die to cut out the sentiment (I think it's a memory box one). I've coloured her using copics, taking my colours from the backing paper, adding a handmade flower (made by my best friend Susie) as a finishing touch.  Hopefully this would make someone smile if they were feeling unwell.

Thanks for visiting, I hope to see you again soon.

Fairy Flower Power Daisy with Digital Delights

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all keeping well. 

There's a new challenge at Digital Delights by Louby Loo. As usual it's anything goes as long as it features a stamp (either digital or rubber). 

Here's my little bit of inspiration...

I've used the delightful Fairy Flower Power Daisy but I've coloured her flowers differently to show it doesn't have to just be a daisy. I've used copics and added some glitter magic glitter to the wings and around the heart shape (Tattered lace die). I used paper from the Dovecraft Back To Basics Bright Spark paper pack, which I bought from our local Asda. I chose 3 co-ordinating papers and used black card for the matting. To finish off I added a flower cut using a Sue Wilson die, with a candi in the centre and 3 adhesive pearls to the top corner to balance the flower. I haven't added a sentiment so this could be used for different purposes as it is or a sentiment added later. You can find lots of lovely images, papers and sentiments if you visit the shop HERE.

Anyway, I need to go and help my hubby now. He's been sorting the summerhouse and found a jigsaw which had spilled out of its box. There should be 1000 pieces. We've counted twice and got 1003 pieces!! Now we're gonna have to make the jigsaw to find out what doesn't belong and if we've got all the bits of the original one.

Happy crafting

Snowflakes with Sparkles

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all well.

There's a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenges

Our theme for the month is Snowflakes.

I made a card using my first attempt at a crocheted snowflake...

I've fastened the centre of the snowflake using a star shaped brad to a circle of silver shimmer card before gluing the rest of it. I've then set it on foam pads and added it to the striped backing paper from the Winter Wonderland collection by Crafts House. To finish off I added the Winter Wishes sentiment.

I embossed the front of the card blank using a mask which came free with Simply Cards & Papercraft at some point. I matted the image using Core'dinations Nostalgia Sandable card, adding some ribbon which came from The Hobby House, which is also where the charm came from. I finished off with a circadesign sentiment and a few pearls.
