Bella Brides....

Over at Colour Create this weeks challenge is Pink & Grey, well I have done it, but kept them both to a minimum!!!

I used a fun Stampin Bella image, coloured it with copics & a blossom pro marker, added stickles to the flowers (every girl has to sparkle on her big day) cut out with nestabilities, mounted onto plain card which was embossed with cuttlebug swiss dots folder, and ribbon from my stash added to the side.

Not forgetting the sentiment, which is Studio G

stamped with brilliance ink.

Double Challenge

Here is a card, which was for three challenges........... But I missed the date on one!!!! Oh well, never mind.

It is for this weeks Friday Sketcher which was a great fun sketch, and for Daring Cardmakers who's theme was to use a Frog or Fish.

Aaaahhhhhhhhh....... The background green card is not looking as fresh and vibrant as it dose IRL, and the yellow is looking bolder & brighter than it does IRL!!!!! Oh well hay ho.... Another yummy stickeroo, cut out using nesties, mounted onto green bazzil, then onto green/yellow bazzil, sentiment is from Elzybells, stamped in blue ink, sparkly gems from my stash, stickles added to the centre f the flower to give extra bling!

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Here is my card for this weeks Penny Black Saturday challenge.....

I love atickeroos, I think I NEED this stamp! I nounted it onto pale green bazzil, then white card. The large piece of green card, I stamped little flowers all over it using Hero Arts shadow ink - but it does not show in the pic, it looks nice & I defo will be doing it more often, it gives a kind of water mark effect...... The ribbon and gems are from my stash and the sentiment is craft work cards. For extra bling I added stickles to the middle of the flowers. x

Double Challenge

This card is for two challenges: Papertake Weekly which is a great little sketch and Cute Card Thursday

where the theme is Signs of Spring which is so much fun, as the weather is still dull, I love bright fun pretty colours.

To make I used a Penny Black image, coloured it with Marvy markers, mounted onto bazzil card stock, and papers from my stash. The sentiment is craftwork cards, and the centre of the flowers had dabs of stickles.
