FREE Download - Perfectly Defined...

As we no longer have our weekly challenges on our digi blog we do "other things" during the week. Wednesday is my day and I have decided to create a series of FREE word definitions for our visitors. Today the word is "cherish". A word that has so many meanings and is appropriate for a multitude of occasions. Click on the Perfectly Defined pack below to be taken to our digi world and find out how you can get it (and yes, it is FREE).

You get it in pink, in white, a simple version and the full version.

I used the pink version in my card below:

My Charmed image is one of our gorgeous Deletable stamps: Annie Sitting Pretty. I coloured her using Copic markers.

I was also test driving the new Flower Soft Gold and it's GORGEOUS!! I totally recommend it! It's unlike anything you have used, it has the texture of the Polar White and an amazing luxurious sparkle to it. Unfortunately it is not showing up on my pictures but take my word for it, it is LUSH!!

The paper is Prima Fairy Flora - I am so in love with this range, it's totally me! I stitched around the edges and roughened the edges with a Tim Holtz paper distresser.

I also used one of our new Nestabilites sets, it's just fab!



Pearls are Prima. Velvet ribbon is Dovecraft value ribbon and the scalloped ribbon is from an Imaginisce set.



I do hope you enjoy the new Perfectly Defined range xx

Charming!

It's the last regular Dottie's World challenge for a while. Our lovely Gunn set this challenge and she wanted to see two charms and one brad on our cards, along with a Charmed Downloads. I didn't use a download but one of our Delectable Annie stamps instead.

I am entering this into a couple of other challenges:
Copic Creations - Shading
Christmas Cards


I used the new Basic Grey Jovial papers for the main patterned paper and the circles. I also used one of the new Nestabilities.

I used two Christmas tree charms and a Basic Grey Jovial Glazed Brad as the required elements. The flowers is a heavily glittered Prima rose...

Annie was coloured using my Copic markers. You can see better on the next picture where I glittered Annie's socks, cardigan and hairbands, as well as Teddy's bow...

I decorated the inside too....

The circle border was added here also...

You can see better how the circles align when the card is closed on the next picture...

Birthday Annie

Gawd, you know when you sit there and faff and faff, then faff a little more but nothing you do makes you happy? This card was like that. I wanted to chuck it in the bin and start again several times but that image took me a long time to create and colour in so I persevered. So this was a real time consumer but you would never think so by looking at it,;I just hope the recipient appreciates it LOL

I modified Purrfect Annie and Kitty by removing the kitten and replacing with balloons, cakes and a present. I posted a masking technique on the Delectable blog the other day showing how to combine several images if you are unsure how to do this. Tried to do the hair differently this time but it ended up looking rather grey - a little old lady she looks here LOL

Quite a copious use of glitter on there but as it's for a 40th I thought I would give it a little sparkle. I used Basic Grey papers, Rub-ons and elements, All My Memories rub-ons, K&CO Que Sera SEra Gold pearls, K&Co Wild Raspberry Floral Accent. Annie was coloured in with Copics.

Thanks for visiting. Have a lovely day ♥

Copic Colour Challenge

Tis Wednesday and time for another Copic Colour Challenge. I almost didn't make it as the realisation that it was due today didn't hit me until about 11pm last night; when I was thinking about going to bed! That's the Bank Holiday for you, puts everything one day in front, and as you get older that easily confuses. If you look closely you may spot evidence of my late effort, so try not to look too closely please LOL

The colours this week are very Victorian; they are perhaps a little austere, but I love them together:

I thought them perfect for Annie sitting oh so pretty on her stool.

I decided to make this card for a dear friend who lost her husband this week two years ago. It is perfect as a remembrance card I think.

Here is my little card recipe:

• Stamps: Delectable Annie Sitting Pretty and Stool, coloured in with Copics.
• Papers: K&Co Que Sera Sera. I coloured in the bottom strip with Cardinal red Copics.
• Embellishments: K&Co various: "Thinking of you" is Que Sera Sera. Flowers, Chipboard and Pearls are Ancestry. Butterfly Rub-on is AB Lotus.
• Tools: Nestabilities and Martha Stewart Edge Punch

Update 29 May: Just added the stitching I didn't have time for. I didn't have an appropriate colour thread so used a yellow one and coloured it with a Copic marker. Result is colours exactly to match the background.

I hope you will join us in the challenge this week on the Copic blog. Pop over and see what lovely projects the design team members have created to inspire you.

Copic Colour Challenge

It's Wednesday and that means Copic Colour Challenge. I had to use one of the new Charmed Delectable stamps, in fact two of the stamps: Annie sitting Pretty and the Accessory stamp Tree Stump with Bluebells.


Here are the Copic colours we had to use this week:

I layered K&Co papers and edged with a K&Co border (Cut 'n Paste). Pearls were coloured with a green marker pen. Branches are cut with two McGill punches.




Pop over to the Copic Challenge blog and see what amazing creations the other DT members have come up with.

Key to my heart...

What a gloomy Saturday it is, absolutely perfect weather for staying indoors and getting inked up :-) Our new stamps should be arriving next week, and it will be absolutely thrilling to see them in the flesh. In the meantime Louise Brigden and I have been showcasing the stamps on our new blog "Charmed Delectable Stamps" to whet the appetite. Here is a card using the adorable Annie & Ted stamp.

I love these metal keys by K&Co. They are from the new Life's Journey collection (as opposed to the old from from about 5 years ago) and just like antique real keys. The flower is Prima.

I used K&Co Que Sera Sera paper for the background, and a Que Sera Sera notepad sheet for the centre. The butterfly is also Que Sera Sera and I decorated it with a few pearls. Ribbon is We are Memory Keepers. Annie and Ted were coloured in with Copic markers.
I really hope we are going to be seeing our Annie stamps as part of glorious projects all over the Web. :-)
