Sunkissed (pink)

Yea... finally got around to making some cards for me, been busy with cards for work.
I have used Elizabeth Bell's Cottage Cutie 'Sunkissed' again, but with a totally different colour scheme.

She is cut with Spellbinders Floral Ovals. (If anyone has any problems with these dies you need to get 'waxwrap' you place it over the image then put the die on top and cut.  It come out really easily then.)
Backing papers, ribbon, and lace are from my stash. Flower cluster and string of pearls are from WOC and the single flower I got in Florida. I also used a Whimsy corner die, Cheery Lynn butterfly and MS leaf punch.

She is coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and a little Prisma pencil. I used distress ink and added stickles to the flowers.


The inside matches the outside with the addition of another MS punch.
I am entering Passion for Promarkers challenge 'Pink, pearls and lace',  Bells and Whistles challenge 'Spring is in the air' and Wild Orchid challenge 'Spring is in the Air.
Thank you for looking.

Cinnamon Sugar

I have had these Papermania papers for quite a while and when I bought my latest Cottage Cutie I just saw her in turquoise green.


She is cut with Spellbinders labels 18 and classic ovals. The sentiment is a LOTV 'Greetings Postmark', Flowers as usual are from WOC.



Ribbon, pearls, brad, gems and beaded stickpin are from my stash.  Buttlerflies are a 'Joy Craft; die, and leaves are a MS punch.


thought I would show the inside for a change.


She is coloured with Promarkers and Prisma pencils with a little chalk added to the background.

I am entering her at Bell's and Whistle's challenge 'Butterflies'  (I did actually add some this time)
and at Promarkers challenge 'Bead it',

Hope you like her and thanks for looking

Picked Sweet

Again a change in colours today and a new stamp, again from Harrogate, lol, I did buy a few.
This one is 'Picked Sweet' by Elizabeth Bell. Spring is the theme and it definately is that here today.

My theme was lilac and lemon with touch of yellow thown in.

I used Spellbinders Grand Squares and Heart Squares. Paper and pearls from my stash. Flowers from WOC, leaves are a Crealies die.


She is colourd with Promarkers and Prisma pencils.  I added the background with chalks and a tiny little Stickles stardust to the butterfly.

I am entering her in the Joanna Sheen challenge 'Spring is in the air' and the Bells and Whistles challenge 'Butterflies' (I know there is only one tiny one on it, but it is there :))

Thank you for looking

Sun Kissed

This entering competitions is quite addictive, I can see why so many people enter so many, lol.  Well here I go again with an Elizabeth Bell stamp.  Must sort out my photography because she looks a little faded.

I used a backing paper, ribbon, lace and pearls and gems from my stash, Spellbinder die for the main image and butterfly, Marianne border. MS punch for leaves, flowers from WOC and my stash.
I coloured her with Promarkers and Copic pencils and added a little stickles to the butterfly.

I am entering this card in the 'Allsorts Challenge - 3 in a row' and 'Die-ing for a Challenge - brown and blue'.

Thank you for looking, any comments would be appreciated
