At last................

a post. It has been a while, but I think my crafty spare time is back (for a while), although I am on a crafting spending diet........... Since deciding to get married, its been all systems go. In a week we decided on a date, church & venue, all are now booked, and to top it off I brought the second dress I tried on! Aahhh. So now all there is to do is: lose a few pounds, tone up (use the gym membership) and arrange a few other bits and pieces - if anything is awkward or difficult it is not meant to be & I will find an alternative - happy days!!!!!!!

Anyway, I have been wanting to do this challenge since I saw it published, over at Elzybells the challenge was PINK, GREEN & BLUE. Here is what I came up with, I used a gorgeous Elzybells image, colours her with pro markers, added glamour dust to the wings (compulsory gorgeousness bling) the stars were cut using a sizzix die, backing paper is papermania, and the sentiment (Elzybells) is a brilliance dew drop pad, pink card is bazzil.

Stamp Something Challenge

Here is my card for this weeks Stamp Something Challenge, the theme is

SOMETHING NEW.

http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/

I used my new to me Riley stamp (I won about 6 on EBay just before Christmas) and I coloured him with my new Peerless Transparent Water Colours, which are just brilliant fun to play with.

I didnt need to add much to this card, as the backing paper is gorgeous and sparkly. I have decided to go back to my original way of stating which bits & pieces I used to create each card (below the card).

Coloured her with pro markers and paper pieced her with coordinating Pink Petticoat, which are so so yummy when printed out onto silk paper.
