Hi Everyone

A little summery card to share with you today and this is my card for the July Spectrum Noir blog challenge, which is Summer.  And you only have today and tomorrow left to enter....... July is coming to an end............

So I have used my Spectrum Noir markers and Spectrum Noir Pencils with a beautiful Skipping  image from Lily of the valley, as it reminds me of summer with her pretty summery dress on too.  My base card is Kraft card and I've matted with nitwit papers, promises and promises solids.  I bought the frame a while ago but not found a card I wanted to use them on as they are so special, so thought this was perfect and centered it over a sentiment stamped in dusty concord distress ink.  I've used white Frantage on the main image and added a few pearls and lace ribbon and finished with a very small flower die  and added a little bit of bling from Chloe.


colours used

FS1, FS3, FS4, TN2, TN3, TN4, EB1, EB3, EB8, LV1, LV2 blender, cr3, pencils 81, 89, 96 with blending solution and paper stumps

Hope you like it.

Hi Everyone

Today's card is one of the new magnolia stamps (well new to me) i purchased recently (although i really really don't need any more stamps).  However i have been seeing this lovely image on loads of cards recently and just couldn't resist.

This is my second DT card for Glitter Geeks and this week you need to design a card which will depict 'Spring is in the Air'.  I really love lemon at the minute and soft subtle tones so i picked some lovely nitwits papers to match and also used my memory box tulip border for the very first time.  I bought it at the NEC last November and i still hadn't used it.  I've also added a LOTV sentiment which i think fits the card perfectly and used one of my little butterfly dies. Coloured with my speccies as usual.  I really must start and try to remember adding the colours i have used.


Remember get your entry sorted and added to the the glitter geeks blog challenge and you will have the chance to win a voucher from Bugaboo Digi STamps Where there are a whole range of lovely digis for all sorts of styles of cards, girly, boys, scenes, flowers, silhouettes etc.  i could go on and on.

I'm not sure who has won the song title challenge from last week as yet but to each and  everyone of you that entered a card or project i must say i have loved viewing them and sending you comments.  They were all fab.


Hope you like it.

Hi Everyone

Well today i have some exciting news, Steph from the Glitter Geeks Blog Challenge kindly asked me to join her DT and contribute to the weekly challenges that are published every Friday.  I'm chuft to bits!  I even get to contribute in choosing a winner...  yeah.............  (i think)

Every Friday new challenges are posted at 9am and stay open until 18:00 the following Thursday so for this challenge you have until 18:00 on 8th March.  The sponsor is Di's Digi's and i can tell you i would have no problems spending a voucher there as i have bought quite a few images now and know i would like some more.......

So the first challenge i am contributing to is Song Title, so a project you have made linked to a song title and i have chosen Mirror Mirror by Dollar, which i think was around in 1981 if i remember correctly.  I was 17 years old and when i look back i didn't have a clue.............  Oh happy days................

The stamp is so cute and it is from LOTV and is called positively pampered.  I have coloured her with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Pens and glittered her wings with some Glamour Dust, because of course it is the glitter geeks.    I've matted her onto some nitwit papers and plain cream card then a little decoration with ribbon, die cut flowers and leaves and a few pearls.
So get your thinking caps on and go on have a go, what have you got to lose?

I have just been looking around to see which challenges i can enter this card in too and am going to take part in the following:

Lilies Little Fairies - Peaches and Cream
The Pixie Cottage challenge - anything goes
Creative Inspirations - anything goes
Simon Says Stamp Challenge anything goes

Hope you like it.
