Club Anime Sketch DT card - and a Guest Designer Call!!

I am so bad for being late with this card! I had a CT scan on Monday followed by a Night Shift and was planning on staying up to finish the card Tuesday morning when I got home from work, but as my other half had gone out and Poppy was having a sleep over at her Grand Parents house I kinda went to bed!! It was a rough night!

But here I am now, and I am so sorry for being late!

This Months Sketch at Club Anime is

And here is my take on it, with a few extra photos for different views.

For this card I have used Christmas Tree Chick from In Style Stamps. I coloured her with Copics and added some Glamour Dust and some Glossy Accents for the baubles, canes, and the sentiment, ooo and also her little hair slides. 

I have taken this opportunity when making this card to make it a DT Card for Bearly Mine Designs too. Donna has been really busy working on her house and creating some gorgeous festive papers called - Christmas Frolics Digi Set! 

All for only £4! 

That's amazing value for 50 assorted papers and inserts! They are all Digital and can be saved to your PC. If you take a look here you will see a slide show and if you like what you see and want to buy - just send Donna an email.

This Sketch Challenge will run until Dec 26th and all who enter will be concidered for a Guest Designer Spot for Club Anime!

Good Luck!

Welcome to the InStyle Stamps November blog hop!

If you have arrived here from Mary's blog your on the right track!! If you've come from your Dashboard, or just fancied visiting me and wanna join in the hop - hurry on over to the In Style Stamp Blog :D


You've seen some gorgeous projects so far so I'd like to share mine with you. 

I've cheated a little with this one. I was meant to have three to show you, but two of the chocolate icicles have been eaten *blush*

I'm getting really excited as Christmas draws near! Only 28 days to go! Can you believe it!

Here I've used Kimi - isnt she just beautiful. Her sparkly wings are glamour dusted and her pale pink dress is a combination of three copic pens in the lightest pastel shades I had in my collection! 

The silver paper I found in my old craft box and used it to decorate an already packaged chocolate covered icicle (Not sure if thats what they are, but they are pointy and silver and reminded me of Icicles).

I wrapped some white funky fibre round the top to keep the paper in place, and then wrapped the whole icicle in a pale pink ribbon to make it more decorative.

I cut our the oval by hand and layered Kimi on top, leaving just her wings and halo on the bottom layer!

I hope you've had fun along the hop, only a couple more of us to see, and your next stop is Genevieve!

Club Anime - Colour Challenge!

Hello

Over at Club Anime there is a fabulous Colour Challenge

The colours are Salmon/Coral, Kiwi Green and Brown

I've used little Myron for this challenge, I was going to use Christmas Tree Chick, but I think Poppy wanted me to try something different as when I got home from work yesterday the half finished card was screwed up, shredded and half if it (mainly the embellishments) in the toilet - Oh Joy!

I've used Copics to colour this cute chappie in, and My Minds Eye paper. 

Sentiment and red gems are from Papermania!

If you would like the chance to win a $20 spending voucher to spend on InStyle Stamps, visit the Club Anime Blog and follow the full instructions. You will have a month to create something cute (20th December is the dead line)...

Have Fun!

Here is my take on the theme:

I've used Leang and Sei - they're having lots of fun sledding in the snow...

I've coloured them with Copics - paper from my stash.

Great excuse to use my Glamour Dust again J

Club Anime Sketch Challenge! DT Card

This months sketch for Club Anime is:

It was fun to work with, but I kept the card simple to show off Sandy from InStyle Stamps. I just think she is so sweet! Especially with her Glamour Dust on her hat, collar and cuffs!

A little close up!

Sandy has been coloured with Copics, sprinkled with Glamour Dust. I've added some flowers and ribbon with charm from my stash (which is getting bigger and bigger every day!)

Please check out the Club Anime Blog and play along!! The team have made some lovely cards.

Have fun

Exciting News!!

They say, that when one door closes, another opens!!

Well I would have to agree!

I've been picked to design for the fabulous In Style Stamps! I will be designing for Club Anime which is a learning curve for me - I've always liked the Anime Designs, but never took the plunge and made anything with them. The card below was my submission so I must have done something right - Was a real treat to do, and loved colouring her in! She's called Alyssa and can be found here!

I applied for this position a little while ago, after seeing a DT call out on SCS. After waiting patiently I received an email saying that the team would be in touch with the results - I never thought that the answer would be a YES! I am so excited!! I can not wait to get started!!

So... You can expect to see some fabulous cards and projects in the coming months using these gorgeous Anime stamps!

Please check out the website In Style Stamps and also the blogs for In Style Stamps and Club Anime!
