Pom Pom all in Purple!

Hi, This is a flying visit today as i have the doctors soon. I wanted to post my LOV challenge card before i forget. This week the challenge was a sketch by Bev and as usual it was a really nice one.

I used the little Pom Pom fairy image and coloured her with Promarkers. Her wings are covered in Crackle Accents to make it look like veins in the wings. I decided to go without DP's this time and just embossed the white layers . The border punch is a MS one. The flowers are cut from my cuttlebug and then i have layered a flower from my Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge and gave them the glossy accents and Glamour dust treatment that i seem to have a thing about at the moment!!

The sentiment is also from LOTV from the pack of calender/date stamps. Some of the white is inked up using Dusky Concord Distress Inks. The ribbon, trim, gems and charm are just from my stash...had to dig to find a different charm than usual!

The challenges i am entering this card into are;

Glittering Tilda for I love promarkers Birthday!

Hi, Thank god its Friday! What a week, its been so busy and i have not been feeling that great with my kidney pain etc so i am looking forward to having a nice weekend and thats the kids off school for 10 days. At least i can get up and ready without having to rush to get to school on time!

Onto my card. This was made for for the Magnolia Stamp Lovers challenge which is Glitter this time. My Tilda was coloured in with Promarkers and i have edged her all dress in Glossy Accents and glamour dust. This week at I love Promarkers they are celebrating their 1st Birthday!! They have a Birthday blog hop and a Birthday card challenge going on. The papers are the Pink Petticoat Vintage Rose ones that came free wiht my magazine. I made the white frame from a cut from my Cricut Wild Card Cartridge and i embossed it with a floral embossing folder. The larger flower is a home made one and the others are from Papermania. The green vines are from my Potpourri Basket Cartridge and have 

also been given the Glossy Accent and glitter treatment! The charm and chain, buttons, pins and lace were from my stash and the sentiment was from a pack of clear stamps i have and inked with the pink ink.

Heres the challenges i would like to enter with this card;

Lace & Pearls Sprinkled with Sugar!

Hi, Heres my last card of 2010! I soon as i saw The Sugar Bowls sketch for this weeks challenge i got straight to it! Loved this sketch and its one i will definitely use again. The optional extra is embossing so i have used my Cuttlebug and embossing folder to emboss the base layer. The paper i used is from a new pack that i bought in the Hobbycraft sale. Its the from the "Slice" range and i got the 12x12 pack for £1.99!! I have also used new lace, and pins/beads and the brad is new too. This all fits with My Time to Craft Challenge which is "Brand Spanking New!" The image is coloured with Promarkers and i have used the old faithful glossy accents on her tights. Not sure what i would do without that little bottle! Paper Sundaes challenge is "cut it out" so I have cut the image out and used 3d pads to make her stand out more. The other challenge that i playing along with is Charisma Cardz which is Pearls and Lace. I have also added my little butterfly on chain to to ribbon.

Here all the links to the challenges;

Transport the Baby!!

Hi, Hope your having a lovely weekend. The weather here is not too bad, suns out bit the wind is quite cold. 

Here a card i made last night for a few differerent challenges. The image is one of my fav from LOTV , she is just so cute! I am hoping that a pram passes as a form of transport for the I love Promarkers challenge and also the Crafty Creations challenge too. Its all doodlebug papers on this card and the border is one cut from my cricut Storybook Cartridge. I use this cart so much, would be lost without it to be honest! The flowers are hand made as usual and the leaf is again from my storybook cartridge. The colour scheme was to fit with the challenge at Flutterby Wednesday where they are looking for pink along side the usual butterfly, fairy or angel.     I have used a few gems to give to some bling!

I loved the layout of this card, this was from the Papertake Weekly Challenge.

I am a big ribbon fan so use it on most cards but i refrained this time for a change, i think the border works great instead. I added my old favourite Glossy Accents to little areas on the image and to the border, flowers and butterfly but it doesnt show up in the photo which is a shame cos she has got little glossy boots and bow!

Heres the link to the challenges i have played along with;
