GUEST DESIGNERS

Edwina

 I am using a Sweet Pea Stamps Digi called “Coni Fong’s Buttercup.”
The digi is colored with Copics. The feathers are by Creatology. The  background is embossed with a Darice Embossing Folder called Woodgrain. I thought it looked like a feather design. The ribbon butterfly I made myself with a piece of floral wire, 2 pieces of ribbon 3” long and a crystal gem.  The flowers are by Wild Orchid Crafts. The card is 5” x 6 ½”.

Margreet

Margreet used Sandra Caudwell's Glamour Chick from Sweet Pea, with real feathers and a lovely colour combination. Nice one Margreet.
Ledia

My project is to use a cloud embossing folder where you use white ink to give depth to the clouds and use the beautiful digi Birthday Bird Trio from Bugaboo, I love my card. (We love it too Ledia).

You'll Walk Not Alone

 "You'll Never Walk Alone"


When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark


Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

When you walk...

Walk on....

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk, you'll never walk alone

Hi everyone! Today I want to honor the Ladies Magicians, curious women who have aroused great interest in magic and illusion. 

 

  They break rules with their beauty and grace. They take the work to us dream.For my project I used the beautiful digi from our generous sponsor Stitch Bear's.  The wonderful

BB Mad Hatter.

This project is coloured with acuarelable pencil and I used Distress Ink. 

CAZZY

Is not well, so running late. Will be here later.

I'm still not well, just a virus picked up from my little grandson, but I've manged to complete my card. I used Tiny Bubbles, she has pretty wings. Do you like the punk cat? I have added a little glitter to her wings, and she is coloured with Promarkers. I'm still in Christmas mode so she is on a Christmas card.

DORIS

My first one for this reminder is a bendy card, and I used the Roxanne from Hope Jacare Underwater girls, provider for our amazing sponsor StichyBear's Digi Stamps. And as like the las week, I used the same technique, and some additional cutting files from Silhouette.

 

My second one, a card I made for a special friend. I painted the beautiful Who Me image using Faber Castell water pencil. By the way, this adorable image is also from StichyBear's Digi Stamps. 

MONICA

This is a sad myth:

According to the Greek myths Ariadne was the daughter of the Cretan king, Minos.

She fell in love with the Athenian hero Theseus, who was coming to Crete to kill the Minotaur and to rescue the Athenian youth. Thus Ariadne helped Theseus by promising her to take her to Athens as his wife. She gave him two special gifts -- a sword and a clue of thread -- to find a way back from the Labyrinth after killing the Minotaur.

As promised, she left Crete with Theseus and with the Athenian youth and they stopped on the island of Naxos. While Ariadne was asleep, Theseus deserted her in Naxos.

My card represents this myth. 

Ariadne - or Arianna- digi provided by Stitchy Bear, was color with Spectrum Noir pens.

LYN 

Well, silly me used a lovely steampunk fairy, but one  StichyBear's Digi Stamps no longer has on their books, so of course I can't show it here, instead here's last weeks creation, which I only managed to add on Friday to last weeks post, using Fairy Moon printed over some PinkPetticoat snowflakes paper, with silver eyelash wool, silver corner diecuts, which I thought went well with the stars on the digi, plus lace, tiny punched out snow flakes and die cut sentiments.

For my project I used Stitcher Fae stamp from our sponsor Stitchy Bear. I did a Spool of Thread for my scissors and others things!!

DESIGN TEAM

MONICA

The Muses are the Greek Mythology nine goddesses of the inspiration of literature, arts and sciences.

This stunning Muse digi is from Ike´s Art and it was provided by our generous sponsor Stitchy Bear.

I printed the digi on tissue paper and colored with Spectrum Noir pens, and then add it with a heat gun to the candle. This is the first time I try out this technique and I love the result. Hope you like it too. 

KEMLY 

Hi people!  For this project I used the beautiful digi Butterfly Love from our generous sponsor. I made a box card. The fairies are mystics and magics bringing love to the World. They are in a child's mind forever. In the fantasy stories, the fairy is present like a companion to play.

DORIS

Hello everyone, for today´s new challenge, I made an easel card using the Hope Jacare Underwater girls, this time I used Octavia, and this beauty ladies are from StichyBear's Digi Stamps. I printed the images in a diferent papers, cut and paste it. The paper collection I used: By The Sea from Graphic 45. See you soon!!!

Cazzy

Sorry I'm late, I did leave a note but it seems to have vanished! When I started colouring Yddris Yddris by Alipeeps I didn't know what I was going to do with her. She ended up with decoupaged hair because I coloured the first one with green skin and didn't like it, this one has a green tinge instead. Suddenly she turned into a Christmas card! She reminds me of Lord of the Rings (I know - that was the last challenge lol).

Lyn will be along soon.

Here's my card at last! (Thursday/Friday!!) I've printed this fairy image by Floppy Latte Designs called Fairy Moon over some snowflakes by PinkPetticoat. Disdressed and inked all the edges  and layered it up, (there's about seven or eight layers)  added loads of Stickles glitters glue, sticky lace, eyelash wool and die-cut corners, which I thought matched the stars around the moon quite well!
