I am a Princess

This lovely digi stamp is 'I am a Princess' from A Day for Daisies. I made this card for a little girl who will be four tomorrow. She is coloured with a mixture of Copics and Pro-markers. The background was embossed using a clouds embossing folder and I've added a few butterflies and some sequins for a bit of princessy bling, April x

Bunny Love

Hello! Here is a very cute digi from a Day for Daisies of a girl and her gorgeous, cuddly bunny. I have coloured them with Pro-markers which was pretty therapeutic! The background was stencilled on a left-over piece of Whisper White cardstock, using a lovely stencil from Dear Lizzy/American Crafts and Color Box Rose Coral ink. Have a lovely weekend! April x

52 CCT Colour Challenge

Over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown this week, our hostess Louise has a great colour challenge for you.

 

I loved using these colours! I made the stars by first creating a background using Gelatos and water (Iced Chai, Cinnamon and Iced Coffee). I then stamped this with Deep Red's Doodle Borders and cut out stars with my Framelits. I used the same stamp on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock which I adhered to a piece of Baked Brown Sugar dsp. The sentiment is a magazine digi that I have sponged with Sahara Sand ink.

I do hope that you will visit us and be inspired by the design team's cards. We can't wait to see your coffee and cream festive creations! April x

Something Fishy...

A very cute mer-cat emerges from the depths of the sea. This gorgeous digi is from A Day for Daisies. It is going to be my daughter's birthday card, but I haven't put a sentiment on as I think it may end up in a frame. Much more sparkly in real life, this sea feline has been coloured with Pro-markers and Cosmic Shimmer. Sequins have been added for fish scales and water bubbles. The background is a mixture of Tumbled Glass Distress Stain and Coastal Cabana ink.

I would like to enter this kitty in A Day for Daisies Challenge - Add sequins.

Flower Fairy

I am breaking away from chocolate egg eating to post this fairy card! I'm certainly getting into colouring at the moment and I really love this fairy digi from A Day for Daisies. I coloured her with Pro-markers and added some Cosmic Shimmer to her wings. For the stamped background I used SU's retired Secret Garden and I've used Petite Petals for some extra blossoms.

52 CCT Sketch Challenge

Over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown this week, Louise has a fantastic sketch with lots of detail to get your crafting teeth into! It reminds me of patchwork and I made my card design up as I went along. I thought I was going to make quite a different card, but I ended up using lots of cool greys, blues and silvers. All my card was made from scraps - just like a real patchwork quilt!

I started off with some pieces of Eastern Elegance dsp and combined these with a panel of card embossed with the Northern Flurry embossing folder. I sponged the snowflakes with silver ink to highlight them. The stamped areas were created with Stampin' Up's Eye-catching Ikat set. I have also added silver Glimmer Paper and stars punched from scraps.

It was a really interesting sketch to work with and I'm looking forward to seeing all the different interpretations! Have a great weekend, April x

Easter Greetings

A card to wish you a Happy Easter! I made this using the very cute Reverse Confetti Cartoon Cuties stamp and die set. I love that egg box! I've used various scraps of dsp here - In-colour dsp (please don't go! I'm really going to miss these colours) and the retired Gingham Garden. I hope you have a lovely Easter, eat lots of chocolate and find bunnies hatching in your egg boxes! April x
