Fancy

Fancy - I was asked by my daughter to make a Fancy Nancy card for a little girl who was having Fancy Nancy themed party. Fancy Nancy is a story book character who is quite popular with little girls right now.

I googled Fancy Nancy images and found this coloring book page image to use. She is colored with Copics and I added a lot of Stickles to her dress. A full colored illustration of this image had a tiara and butterflies in her hair, but that was missing from the coloring image, so I made my own tiara with rhinestones. I used Perfect Pearls to make the streamers on the image.

The challenge sponsored by Crafty Emmas at Craft Your Days Away is to use doilies and lace. My friend bought this doily diecut recently and cut some for me. I don't know which company made the die.

My DP is an old stack kaleidoscope by MME. The flower is Petaloo.

I love the lace; as it has very pale pink sequins on it.

Bloomin Blue

Bloomin Blue - I am thrilled to be Mays' guest designer for Corrosive Challenges. Corrosive Challenges is sponsored this month by Tickled Pink Stamps. Come back in 2 weeks and see what I did with one of their fabulous images!

The challenge this fortnight is Flowers, Bling and Doilies. Perfect for Mother's Day! I want to wish all the Mother's out there a big Happy Mothers! Blue is my mother's favorite color! I know she will love this card.

For my card I used Hot Off the Press's Sapphire DP. I have cherished this little paper pad. The papeers are all blue in different shades. The paper is really pretty and as it is only blues, it is so easy to use.

My image is Designed to Delight. This image was a homework assignment for my Copic's class. We were learning how to color copper. I like how real it looks. The trick is a high contrast as metals are shiny.

I cut the image and scalloped circle with a SB and added little gemstones to the center of the flowers for my bling. My doilie is from the cake decorating area of Walmart.
