dolls house

https://www.facebook.com/groups/951431751563289/

this little ragdoll was drawn and coloured by me first time I have used her. I felt she was ideal for a dolls house card.
The fairy pad is a digi amd the f;ower pot with the birds hous is a rubber stamp from my stash all were coloured with spectrum noir and fussy cut
the fairy pad is adhered with glue to the green background
the rag doll and the flower pot were then adhered to this with foam dots to lift them a little from the page the ribbon and the birds were just taken from my stash. I kindy glitzed everything probably went overboard again
the ribbon and green card were adhered with double sided tape to a card blank.
hope you like my little cutie

christmas beauty

https://www.facebook.com/groups/951431751563289/

this gorgeous stamp from my besties is coloured with Spectrum noir pens. the white fleece was done with TB1&2 and then I used the blender pen to get the paper nice and wet. I then added Pitt Big brush pen in white to cover the areas. Gives an effect of textured white (you have to see it in real to appreciate this)

The white card was trimmed with a scallop blade and the edges inked with lipstick. there is a chalked background of snowflakes but hard to see in a photo

the green card was embossed with my cuttlebug both green and white cards are adhered in opposite angles to the red cardstock on my card blank, the sentiment is also from a die run through my cuttlebug. hope you like her

woodland Nymphs

woodland nymphs

This is a double page from the adult colouring book Enchanted Forest usually I wouldnt enter a colouring page but this really fit this competitions theme.

It is coloured with Faber castell polychromos pencilss with a little help from Rembrandt Lyra polycolour pencils.

the background was done with crayons Texta twistables and Fabercastll erasables.

I then burnished the crayon by scraping excess off the top

not sure what I will use this colouring for but I really like it so even if it doesnt get used for anything it was worth the time taken to colour it

lacy sunshine


https://www.facebook.com/groups/951431751563289/

This card was made using a Julia Spiri design.
My card blank was covered with a deep green card
The lace (my something old) has been in my stash for seven years It was quite wide so I doubled it over itself and attached with double sided tape
The ribbon was attached over the top of this with double sided tape
Next I cut three squares of different colour greens and different sizes from nesting dies in my cuttlebug
After the edges were inked I attached them in a random arrangement on the front of the card
They were next stamped with green ink with a stamp of gum leaves
After the image was coloured with Spectrum Noir I close cropped and inked the edges with green ink and added the grass stamp and the bicycle stamps
The image was chalked with blue and green chalk (eye shadow) before attaching it to the card and the diamantes and clear pebbles were attached to the corners
I then trimmed the whole lot to size

another cutie


This little cutie is from the My Besties range of digistamps https://www.facebook.com/groups/951431751563289/

She was coloured with Tim Holtz distress markers and watercolor pencils. The background was coloured by using a cheap make up sponge and a very old lipstick palette (over 10 years old) too old to use as makeup but perfect for use with stencils.
she was then coloured with glitter chalk and mounted on a border of washi tape.
