Baby love

I just love these cute Babies from the amazing Mo Manning. I have coloured her with promarkers and then used crumb cake stampin' up marker to ink round the torn edges and to do the faux stitching all around the edges. The dotty back ground I did using blushing bride ink and a stamp from the timeless textures set. The sentiment is from another stampin' up stamp set called suite sayings. The gems pearl hearts and pink card were from my stash.

If you want any of the stampin' up goodies you can grab them in the link bellow. If you want to order but live somewhere they don't ship to just get in touch as I can help to work it out :)

I hope you have all been well and are enjoying the summer holidays. I couldn't resist this little Mo Manning cutie. So had to colour him up. You can get him as a digi form from HERE or as a clear stamp from the penny black Fairy sweet stamp set. I coloured him with the following pro markers:

Skin: Vanilla, Ivory and pastel pink

Hair: Umber, Khaki and Almond

Ladybird: Gold, canary and primrose

Nappy: Pine, green and pastel green

Wings: Soft aqua

I also added some star dust stickles and mint green liquid pearls. The paper is an old one I have so many papers and am making it my new mission to try and use what I have got before I get anymore........that may not last that long but I'm going to try :)

Kraftin' Kimmie's sketch challenge

I really really do still have a massive Kraftin' Kimmie addiction so couldn't resist colouring this beauty up. It has taken me ages to finaly use her but I think she is so pretty.

This weeks challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie is a great sketch....

 

I have coloured Rose with promarkers andthen cut her out using spellbinders lables die. The papers have a fabric texture to them and are from First Editions Floral Pavilion pack, the sentiment is from Whimsy's Ticket notes set and the gems and ribbon is from my stash.

I am back!! :D

Well I have fallen off the blogging planet for ages but I think I am now back. 

I want to say a massive thank you to all the incredibly talented ladies that came to the crafty weekends the last 2 weekends. I had such a great time and feel all inspired. We made a record number of creations and I hope you all had as much fun as I did.

Here is the first of my creations a boys card. It is time for another Natalie and Amy challenge and we want you to make something for a man or boy. I just couldn't resist these adorable stamps and I coloured them up with my promarkers...

I have used the following goodies from the shop Kraftin' Kimmie's Cute-a-saurus stamps, Whimsy fun life tickets 2, 5 x 5 card blank, First editions blank canvas papers.

I thought I would go for a different shape of card for a change as well so chopped the corner off my 5x5 card.

 Now onto this months challenge we want you to create something in mono :D I LOVE my colours so this is always a challenge for me.

For my card this time I have used 6 x 6 Kraft card, Spellbinders resplendent rectangles, Hansa Yellow pan pastel  that are all available in our shop. The main image is from Local King Rubber stamps and there were a few happy acciendts involved in the making of this card. First I stamped my image and die cut him then put the lid from the ink pad on him so got a mark at the side :( Not to be defeated I then made some more similar marks all the way round and added the panpastel to give it a more worn effect. Trouble is then I went to seal the pastel with hair spray but grabbed the spray and sparkle but accident so they endded up sparkley! Despite all of that I quite like this card and I even like the sparkle lol.
