The Stamping Chef.

Good afternoon blogland, I hope today sees you all well. Just a little post from me to show

you my latest make.
I used a fabby image from 

The Stamping Chef

The image was a Facebook Challenge freebie but you can find her (& tons more beautiful images) for sale in the store.

So here is my card

 Isn't she a little beauty. I designed my paper for the topper in Craft artist & layered it onto some more digi papers that I recoloured to suit, I love being able to do that in Craft Artist. I cut out some fish tail banners in matching paper & added those too.

The sentiment box was also designed in Craft Artist, cut out & mounted on foam pads.

I coloured her with promarkers & cut her out. I then decided to foil the band of the ring & glittered the diamond & tiara.
The only colour I used on the dress was Ice Grey 2 & I then used the blender pen to soften it. 

Thanks so much for stopping by

& I would like to enter my card in the following challenges.

Simply B Stamps

has a facebook challenge, we get an image to play with & create a project for the challenge.

This month we got Witch Mercedes (you will now be able to find her in the store)

& here is my make

I designed my backing paper in Craft Artist, adding a big moon with some bats & a bare tree. I layered this onto a gold pearl paper & added a die cut doily (cut from black glitter paper)

I then added my image, a little bow & some black pearls.

She's been coloured up in purples & her gorgeous hair has been done in green. I glittered her belt, shoes & the band of her hat.

I hope you like her.

You'll find my entry over here.

Creative Fingers Challenges - #1 Delicious Doodles

Good morning everyone, I hope you've all had a great week. It's been a busy one here as my wee man started school & I finally got the cast off my leg, it'll still be a long road but I'm getting there

& now to top it off it's time for a fab new challenge from

Creative Fingers Challenges

It's a double challenge with both teams joining in

& we are sponsored by the fabby 

Delicious Doodles

& there is of course a prize for the winner of this challenge, you get 4 digis 

So our theme for our first challenge is

Anything Goes

& here is my make

I got to use Butterfly Bliss I just love how feminine she is

For my topper I stamped some butterflies & a foral corner stamp with versamark, heat set it & then inked over it using dye inks. I haven't got a cameo (sob, sob) so I drew a dress form, cut it out & then inked it with distress ink. I then ran it through an embossing folder before sanding back the raised edges (your own homemade coredinations) I added some off  cut of glitter paper & a little embellishment to act as a corsage. & then added my coloured image. 

For the card base itself I used a 6"x9" piece of card stock & scored it at 6". I then covered the base with glitter paper (adding a punched edge) I over hung the topper & then embellished with some gems.

I used my beloved promarkers to colour the image 

& there you have it. I hope you like it & please do stop by all the other girls' blogs to see their fantastic makes.

Just Inspirational Challenges, Beccy's Place.

Good morning fellow bloggers, it's time for a new challenge from 

Just Inspirational Challenges

& this week it's the turn of 

Team B

Our fabby team co-ordinators have been thinking of ways to make the challenges more appealing  to try entice more of you to enter.

So, it  was decided that instead of having an inspirational photo for each challenge, we would sometimes use one & other times have a photo of something you must use in your creation, for example, this weeks photo is of ribbon so you must include ribbon in your make. 

We hope you like the changes.

So, now , onto the challenge.
This week we have been sponsored by the lovely folk at 

Beccy's Place

& the prize for the lucky winner is either 3 digis or 1 set

So here is your inspirational photo, & remember you must use ribbons 

.

For my project I used one of the TONS of freebies available over at Beccy's Place

Grab a cuppa before you go over, cos you'll be there for ages.

Isn't she a cutey, I choose her because she was so cute, but also because she had ribbons :)

I embossed the back panel & inked with distress inks before mounting on a larger panel. 

I added a doily, lots of die cut butterflies & I made some little roses.

I then tied a little bow from white satin ribbon

& there you have it.

I coloured her in promarkers & really tried to add depth to her fur, not my strongest point, but it didn't turn out too bad. I finished her off with a touch of glitter on her tutu.

I hope you like my make & thanks in advance for your comments

in

 

Through The Purple Haze Challenges

This week our wonderful sponsor is the talented 

Delicious Doodles

& of course there is a prize for the lucky winner- 4 digis of your choice.

Our theme this week is

Use Your Dies

I got to use Friends Forever for my project & you can find it in the store.

So here is my make

The papers are all from a digi kit called - At The Horse Races (but I'm afraid I can't remember where I bought it from) I matted & layered the base card & before matting the 2nd paper I ran it through my cuttlebug in an embossing folder & inked it with distress ink. I think it kinda looks like a fence, but that was just a happy accident lol. 

I then die cut the stars & threaded them onto string & cut & embossed a flourish.

I put the card together & finished the card off with some stamped tickets & a large button.

I was quite nervous colouring this one up as animals wouldn't be things I colour everyday, but I was happy with how the horse turned out in the end, phew.

As always I used my promarkers to colour, I'd be lost without them.

So there ya have it, I hope you like my card & thanks in advance for all your comments.

Her dress & eye makeup have been done in Cyan, Duck Egg & Cool Aqua. I added some faux stitching & rounded the corners before mounting her on the card.
