Hey!

Here's a card made with my new stamp from Whimsy Stamps. It's soooo gorgeous and amazing to colour!

The card is cut by hand, inspired by Debbie's stunning shaped cards. I used Tim Holtz paper with hand stitching around the edge, tissue paper flowers, gems and lots of stickles and glitz it glitter glue. The image is coloured with promarkers:

Cool grey 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 + blender

I decorated the inside with my new Viva stamp set. This is the first time i've used these stamps, and i love them so much already!

Pumpkin carving - me and my sister...

...ok so a slightly demented version, but here is a photo of me and my sister carved into a pumpkin :) I had to do it half carved, rather than all the way through, because the dark bits weren't connected so it wouldn't have worked otherwise.

It's a fairly old picture from last year, but i couldn't find another one so it'll have to do :)
I look reaaaallly wierd hehehehe

Original photo (same as the one thats been in my sidebar for ages!)
Ooooo by the way, i'm on the left!
Thanks for looking, and don't forget to check out my candy!

A sprinkling of fairydust...

Hiya :)

Here's a card i started the other day and just finished off. I used the gorgeous 'Christmas Fairy Holly' from Mo's Digital Pencil, and coloured her with promarkers then attacked with stickles. The paper is by k&co, and the embossing is the Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots folder, inked with antque linen. Then i added some stitching, ribbon, pearls and distressed the edges with scissors.

Isn't she cute?!

I've coloured her with promarkers;

Skin - pastel pink, dusky pink, satin & ivory

Hair - apricot, sandstone & satin + blender

Dress and shoes- cool grey 3, cornflower & pastel blue + blender

Holly wings and undercoat thingy - cool grey 2, sandstone & satin + blender

Outline - Aqua + blender

Best Wishes...simples!

Hey :)
Oh Mr Blogger, you do annoy me sometimes! I've been trying since last Sunday to upload this card, but silly Mr Blogger obviously doesn't like it lol

Anyways...here it is :)

I embossed it with 2 cuttlebug embossing folders, and inked with antique linen distress ink. Then I made some flowers from tissue paper and papermania brads, and added a printed sentiment and a couple of pearls. Simples!
