CUTE AS A BUTTON PEACE OF GOD

This beautiful image comes with an equally beautiful sentiment, which I've decided not to use on my card.  The image is called Peace of God, and I have coloured it with Copics.  She reminds me of my daughter a few years back.

My papers are from the Craft & You Design Bellissima Rosa paper pack.  I've used a Bo Bunny die for the doily, which I cut in half to use in the two spots.  The swirly heart is a Poppy Crafts die cut.  The negatives from the swirls were so pretty, that I decided to add them as well.  

My flowers are Prima and I Am Roses.

DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS NIXIE MERMAID

This gorgeous image is called Nixie Mermaid.  I have coloured the image with Copics, and then used Distress Ink and a Creative Expressions stencil to create the sun rays through the water.

I've used a Craft Emotions scalloped rectangle die to frame the image.

My paper is from the Studio Light Jenine's Mindful Art Collection.  It's such a pity so much of it is covered up, because it's SO pretty!

I've added a sheer ribbon and tied off a bow; KaiserCraft and Green Tara flowers; and KaiserCraft wood ebllishments, which I've sprayed with while Gesso. I've also wrapped the image with a string of pearls and  added a few pearl swirls.

PAPER NEST DOLLS BEDTIME EMMA

 

This was a quick, simple card for me.  

This sweet image from Paper Nest Dolls, is called Bedtime Emma.  I have coloured the image with Copics.  I used a resist technique on her gown and on teddy.

My papers are from the Heartfelt Creations Climbing Clematis Collection.  I loved the paper so much, that I didn't want to add anything to cover it.  All I've added is a giant bow in sheer ribbon, which I've threaded through with eyelets, and a sentiment stamped from a freebie set that came with a craft magazine.

You can find more of these cuties in the Paper Nest Dolls Store.

STRETCHY OSTRICH

The ostrich is a common bird in certain parts of South Africa, and so I thought this image would make for a fun card for my brother-in-law in South Africa.

The image is by Crissy Armstrong and is called Stretchy Ostrich.

I have coloured the image with Copics.

I began putting this card together with green papers, and then slowly swapped each one out with black and white, until they were all gone.  I'm pretty happy with the end result, because the image pops out now.

My papers are from an old Bo Bunny paper pack called Enchanted, and the sentiments are from a set of magazine freebie stamps.  I've added some bamboo string.

Good Morning crafty friends!

We have a fun new challenge on the go at Passion for Markers, and our lovely Karen has chosen your theme.  This week we'd like to see your

FAVOURITE COLOURS

Up for grabs this week is a $6 store voucher from

Now I have to admit, my favourite colours and colour combos changes quite often, but right now, I'm going with pink & brown.  Actually, I love anything with brown.

I've used a Krista Smith image called Secret, and coloured the image with Copics.  

My papers are from the First Edition Love Letters paper pack.  I've used two Creative Dies wonky stitches  dies for the two tags.

The strip of burlap and lace is actually a recycled band that was around a vase.  The cupcake is a Dovecraft sticker and the glittery hearts are Jolee's.  The sentiment is a Make it Crafty laser cut, and the pretty corners are Celebr8 laser cuts.  I've coloured them all with a marker.  Lastly, I've added three little pearls, just to tie in the blue.

The girls have put together a wonderful set of inspiration this week, so be sure to pop over to the challenge blog to have a look.

Thanks for popping in to see mine!

CUTE AS A BUTTON CHALLENGE #71: ANYTHING GOES + POLKA DOTS AND/OR STRIPES

Good Morning crafters!

Our new challenge has kicked off on the Cute As A Button Challenge Blog, and this month, the team have the theme of POLKA DOTS AND/OR STRIPES.  You are welcome to follow the theme along with us, but it is optional, so don't let it hold you back from entering the challenge.

I've used Cuddly Busty Buttons - Beach Lounging on my card.  I so love these busty girls, because they're so 'real'.  I know I have a few curves in places that should be flat!

I've coloured the image with Copics and added in a beachy background for her.  I've framed the image with a Spellbinders die cut.  

My dotty paper is from the Crafter's Companion Little Angel paper pack.  Along the bottom edge, I used a Find It Trading wave die to add to the beachy feeling.  

The doily was cut using a Crafter's Companion Die'sire die.  My flowers are Prima and I am Roses.  I've also added a strip of webbed ribbon and a few seashells.

Pop into the Cute As A Button store to see more of these gorgeous images.

DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS CHALLENGE #41 YOUR FAVOURITE SEASON/TIME OF YEAR

Our new challenge for August has kicked off on the challenge blog, and it's going to be a fun one this month.  The theme for the month is:

YOUR FAVOURITE SEASON/TIME OF YEAR

My favourite time of year is definitely Winter! I don't do well with heat.  

Now for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere, that means Christmas time, but for me, Winter happens mid-year, so I've gone with a birthday card, rather than a Christmas card, using Ivy's Christmas Shopping Spree.  I've coloured the image with Copics and then used a Creative Dies wonky stitches die to cut it out.  

I've chosen papers from an older paper pack: First Edition Love Letters.

The sentiment is a Crafti Potential stamp and die set, and I've used a Tim Holtz tag die for it too.  The doily is a Crafter's Companion Desire die cut.  

I've added a strip each of Simplicity lace and ribbon, and a few pearls.  My flowers are Green Tara.
