My Favourite Colour.....well this week!

Hi, Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. At last i finished painting the stairs and hall way, it took me weeks cos i started it then just have not felt well enough to finish it but i had to do it today...was really annoying me half done!

My card tonight is for the LOTV challenge which is "My Favourite Colours". I decided to go with my old faithful colour..pink.  The image is one of my favourites and have coloured her with promarkers. To add shine to her wings i have added glossy accents and glamour dust. My papers are doodlebug and Slice. The slice paper is full of glitter and shine and very slightly embossed. My flowers are Wild Orchid and Papermania and the leaves are a cricut cut from the pot pourri basket cartridge. I have also added a few stems with crystals on at each side of the flowers. To add a bit more shine i added gems and a hat pin. The ribbon was found at the bottom of my ribbon box...think its a never ending box and the ribbon seems to multiply every time i open it!!

Heres the link to all the challenges i would like to enter;

Chocolate box!!

Good morning, i have bee trying to post this since last night...not sure if there was something up with blogger but it kept saying i couldnt upload photos because i needed the proper licence or something??

Anyway here all fine now. I decided to make a box to hold chocolates for the kids to give to my mum.

Its actually a slider box and the whole sleeve slides of and leaves the plain pink box. Worked out great and just as i planned.

The image is one of the hAnglar stamps i found trailing the net. She is lovely, i love these stamps so i am on a mission to get a lot more...so hard to get though. I coloured her in with Promarkers. On her heart i used glossy accents and glitter, as well as on her bows in her hair etc.

The flowers are handmade and the leaves/vines are from the potpourri cartridge. I have not used that cut before but its quite nice with the swirls on there too. 

The paper is a Bo Bunny one i think, dont quote me on that one! The ribbons down each side has been pleated by used a run of double sided tape and then just folded it in as i went. To be honest i thought it would be quicker than sewing it the gathering it up but it wasnt! The edges are punched with my MS punch.

Heres is a front on view.

The sentiment was a free one from Birds Cards. I just found this blog the other day and its fab, she has cutting files on there too! Lots of great stuff!

Hi, At long last i have had time to make a card!! Where does all the time go??

The sketch i followed is from Mojo Monday. My image is from TGF and i coloured her in with Pormarkers. The papers are My Minds Eye. I had got free papers like these with a magazine a while back and used them so bought more 12x12's this week in the sales!  The sentiment was cut from my Cricut Wild Card Cartridge and fits with the challenges running from Papertake Weekly and Cute Card Thursday. I am also playing along with the Corrosive Challenge which is to "Bling It On"! I have used plenty of bling on this card so i am sure that this will count! The flowers i made myself from Scalloped edge srips and a quilling tool! The leaves are cut from my Cricut. I have added glossy accents with glamour dust to the sentiment and leaves just to add a bit of sparkle.

Here is the links to the challenge blogs i am playing along with today;
