TOTALLY GORJUSS - CHALLENGE 174 - FOR MUM

Happy Saturday Everyone!

Me - again - I know - three times this week!!

It's Saturday already which means it's challenge time over at Totally Gorjuss.

Our theme this week is "For Mum" and our generous sponsor is Crafter's Companion so to be in with a chance to win £10 to spend on their on-line store make sure you get your creations posted over at Totally Gorjuss. Don't forget to check out the wonderful work the DT girlies have made to whet your appetite.

Here is the card I have made for the challenge:

Now I must apologise for the poor quality and somewhat squiffy picture. I made this card a couple of years ago, (before I had a blog), for a friend who wanted me to make a card for his two little boys to give to their Mummy. As you can tell from the picture I knew absolutely nothing about taking good quality photographs or editing them etc - I did say in an earlier post that it was a blast from the past for me, but I just wanted to share this card with you as I just absolutely adore the image.

The recipe for the card is:

Digi Image: 'Brothers' - Mo's Digital Pencil

Papers: 'Land Ho' - Nitwit

The image was coloured with Copics:

Skin: E11 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)

Blond Hair: E55 E53 E51 E50

Brown Hair: E37 E35 E34 E33

Large Boy's Jumper: BG02 BG01 BG000 / B26 B24

Large Boy's Trouers: E55 E53 E51 E50

Large Boy's Shoes: W4 B23

Small Boy's Jumper: E18 E17 E15

Small Boy's Trousers: B26 B24 B23

Small Boy's Shoes: W4

Rabbit: C3 C2 C1 C0

Teddy Bear: E27 E356 E34 E33

And that's that as they say.

I hope you didn't mind the poor picture.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Here is the card I have made:

I love Mo Manning's fairy images, they are just amazing. I promise you there is oodles and oodles of glitter on this card; I'm afraid I'm a bit rubbish when it comes to taking pictures, I can just never get a good shot of glitter - any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

Totally Gorjuss - Challenge 157 - Pastel Christmas

Hello Everyone

I hope you are all well and have had a good week.

It's Saturday again, so it's challenge time over at Totally Gorjuss and this week we would like to see some lovely pastel Christmas themes.

Our generous sponsor for the challenge is Crafter's Companion so to be in with a chance to win a voucher to spend in their store make sure you get your entry in. As always, don't forget to see what the lovely Gorjussetts' have made over at the Totally Gorjuss site.

So, here is my little creation for you:

What do you think? I am so loving this little Winter Fairy Halla from Mo Manning - she is just the cutest and easy peasy to colour too!

The recipe for the card is as follows:

Digi Stamp: Mo Manning - Winter Fairy Halla

Papers: My Minds Eye - All is Bright - from Dies to Die For

Snowflake Die: Memory Box - Bianca Snowflake - from Dies to Die For

Heart Tag: Magnolia Doohickey - So Wrapped Lovely - from Dies to Die For

Banner Die: Die-Namics - Mix and Match Banner Set - from Dies to Die For

Sentiment Stamp: Lili of the Valley - Grunge Christmas Postmarks

The image has been coloured with Copics as follows:

Skin: E21 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)

Hair: E55 E53 E51 E50

Headband & Clothes: BG11 BG10 BG000 / C0 (shading)

I have outlined the image and the papers with Iced Spruce Distress Ink

The little bit of gauze on the heart tag and behind the image is sterile gauze swabs from Boots - cool eh! ;o)

I have used Glamour Dust everywhere on the card - on the image, snowflakes and heart tag, but it never really shows up on the photographs really well - here is a close up for you:

If anyone could give me any tips on how to get a good picture of glitter I would appreciate it. I use Crafter's Companion Stick & Spray on the die cuts before covering it liberally with Glamour Dust as it gives a great finish.

I am going to enter this card in the Christmas Stamping All Year Round challenge blog, where the challenge this week is 'Anything Goes'.

And that's it. I hope you like it and I wish you all a fantastic weekend.

Thank you for all your lovely comments.

Totally Gorjuss - Challenge 157 - Pastel Christmas

Hello Everyone

I hope you are all well and have had a good week.

It's Saturday again, so it's challenge time over at Totally Gorjuss and this week we would like to see some lovely pastel Christmas themes.

So, here is my little creation for you:

What do you think? I am so loving this little Winter Fairy Halla from Mo Manning - she is just the cutest and easy peasy to colour too!

The recipe for the card is as follows:

Digi Stamp: Mo Manning - Winter Fairy Halla

Papers: My Minds Eye - All is Bright - from Dies to Die For

Snowflake Die: Memory Box - Bianca Snowflake - from Dies to Die For

Heart Tag: Magnolia Doohickey - So Wrapped Lovely - from Dies to Die For

Banner Die: Die-Namics - Mix and Match Banner Set - from Dies to Die For

Sentiment Stamp: Lili of the Valley - Grunge Christmas Postmarks

The image has been coloured with Copics as follows:

Skin: E21 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)

Hair: E55 E53 E51 E50

Headband & Clothes: BG11 BG10 BG000 / C0 (shading)

I have outlined the image and the papers with Iced Spruce Distress Ink

The little bit of gauze on the heart tag and behind the image is sterile gauze swabs from Boots - cool eh! ;o)

I have used Glamour Dust everywhere on the card - on the image, snowflakes and heart tag, but it never really shows up on the photographs really well - here is a close up for you:

And that's it. I hope you like it and I wish you all a fantastic weekend.

Thank you for all your lovely comments.
