White on White at Passion for #Promarkers

Sorry I'm running late with this one, will ramble about it on next post lol!  The theme this week over at Passion for Promarkers is white on white (except for image) only I didnt see the brackets bit so this is as close to white as I'll go!  We're sponsored by Digistamp Boutique who are offering a choice of 6 images as your prize. 


For this I used an anya and used baby pink and cool grey 1 and 2 on the clothes and used the blender pen to make it really pale.  I edged the die cute and the embossed card in pink brilliance ink and machine stiched around the edge adding white ribbon and embellishments.

A Royal Wedding

Its a ROYAL WEDDING over at Crafty Cardmakers with the choice of using a red, white & blue theme OR a wedding theme or you can go the whole hog and do a red, white & blue wedding theme!
For this I used a Tilda stamp coloured with promarkers and derwent coloursoft pencil and went with the first option of the red, white & blue theme.
Papers are by Bearly Mine Designs and the blg blue flowers I just got from QVC outlet.  One of the ladies at the craft group in warrington I've just started had a pack on her table so Sarah hot footed it up to QVC to get us the last 2 bags lol!
I've used a couple of tiny butterfly punch outs, one is covering the mistake I made colouring the sleeve in blue when I wanted it white.  Got a bit stuck after I'd put the bottom flowers on and the image so thought "What would Tracy Payne do?" and thought of a swirl so I added that and another couple of flowers and its balanced out OK.  The swirl is a Tim Holtz elegant flourish die cut which I glittered with stickles also glittering the flowers.

So hope you can join in over at Crafty Cardmakers this fortnight for a Royal Wedding!

Flashback Friday

I keep seeing this Flashback Friday challenge so thought I'd take the plunge as I hope I've improved a little since then ha!  This fortnight they want to see the first card you posted using stitching.  That was easy for me as it was on my first ever blogged card so *deep breaths*

Its a lovely Magnolia coloured with watercolour pencils and marvy brush pens - loooooong before I got promarkers!  The stitching is faux and I think the paper was out of a magazine!  I'm terribly sorry if I sent this to you in a swap haha! 

Just so you can ROFL a bit more heres another one from the same post...

These were originally posted on 31st Jan 2008 HERE  I hope you feel inspired you can improve now lol! x

Stargazer

Evening all! 

I'm taking a break from the dreaded week long spring clean but I did find a £20 note in my wardrobe before so don't feel too bad about it lol!
I wanted to show you this little beauty I recently got, she's called STARGAZER at Crafts & Me and is a digi stamp so you can get her today, no waiting! 
I'm a sucker for stars, love astronomy so the name really sold me plus she's a dream to colour.  I used promarkers and derwent coloursoft pencil then used a pastel blue in my letrajet airbrush going close to her then added some peel off stars and graduated out with the airbrush with shades of blue (pastel blue, sky blue, true blue, midnight blue and a bit of black)  I then removed the peel offs and matted on a really sparkly white card which has a multi-colour shimmer you cant really see.  I used that little group of 3 stars at the top as I wanted it to look like the fairy was commanding the stars :)
The sentiment is by funstamps and reads "Reach for the moon, if you don't make it you'll stll twnkle amongst the stars"  Lovely eh!

I've kept her simple as there is such a deep colour on the image she didn't need embellishment but she'd look lovely in lots of styles :)

Hope you like her as much as I do!

Inside Out at Bearly Mine

Its an Inside Out challenge at Bearly Mine this fortnight so we're looking at the inside of your cards.  I think they look ever so professional when done proper! 
For this I've finally used my new die by Go Kreate called Frilly 2 I bought a week or so ago and I've wanted for absolutely ages!  Not had any time past few days as we're reorganising the house, moving furniture about and doing a proper blitz clean, took all afternoon just to do half the kitchen!
I managed to make this in the middle of the night after I'd gone sleep then OH wasn't well and woke me up - dreaded power nap aaargh!  Got up for a while and fnished this off though :)

I've used an Anya by the greetings farm coloured with promarkers and derwent coloursoft, the bow I got in a pack at pound shop (had hearts, bows and other pearls in pack)  Added iridescent gems to flower centres and glitter on the flower.  Sentiment is by Stamping All Day
Bearly Mine papers used are Spring Surprise, Spring Mix and Floral Fantasy.  Inside panel is decorated with spring surprise and some white card coloured with distress inks in Broken China and Faded Denim and a stamp who's make I cant remember lol!  Card finished with some dazzling diamonds glimmer mist

Thanks for looking :)
