Morning all
its time for a new challenger at Glitter n sparkle...the theme this week is Anything but a card.. so you can go for anything you like, a scrap page an altered piece just have fun...

for my first project i went for a box, but i will confess to you all now that the finished item isn't a box LOL it started life as a box but the bottom kept falling off and i got so frustrated with it i just decided to turn it into a wall hanging! which I'm quite pleased i did because she looks lovely hanging in my craft area...

the image is Lingerie Sassy from Sassy studio, i have coloured her with coloured pencils to give a soft effect to her sexy undies, i have teamed her with a lovely pinky red backing paper  some fussy cut roses which i covered in glossy accents, i trimmed the edge with a lovely variegated lace i had in my stash, and finished it off with 2 little tickets.

my second project i really wasn't sure what to do with hes such a cute little teddy from crafty sentiments, with his lovely patchwork balloons, i did think of a few things but rejected them all, then while i was shopping , inspiration in the shape of a yummy cupcake! of course i just had to go with it :)

so here he is, proudly sitting on the cupcake!

i coloured him with pro markers, added a cut down BBQ skewer a pretty ribbon around the cake and a matching ticket saying love you...

so this weeks sponsors are Sassy studio offering 4 images from the store next we have Stitchy Bear Digital Stamp offering a $10 gift voucher and Crafty sentiments who are offering  a Doctor Toby image.

so what are you waiting for get your thinking caps on and lets see all your fab makes.

Hello everyone,
Well today is my first ever design team post for Sincerely yours creations I'm so excited to share this new challenge blog with you all, we will have fortnightly challenges on alternate Thursdays, we will have great sponsors with fab prizes, so i hope you will come play along.
our first challenge is Valentine, and our wonderful sponsors helping to kick us off are Delicious Doodles, and Kenny K, 2 of my most fave digi company's.

So my first card for  Delicious doodles is Gothic faerie...

I went for purple for her hair ( love purple!) and teamed it with lush green for the background, she is coloured with a combination of pro markers and coloured pencils, i took a black 8 x 8 base card, covered in in a pale purple paper from do crafts capsule collection. added another panel of black card, and covered that with pale green paper in the same pattern as the backing paper, and wound some black ribbon around the centre, finishing it off with a bow to one side, i mounted the image on black card and added with sticky pads to raise it slightly, then i took some more of the purple backing paper and made some roses, i finished these with leaves cut from the green backing paper so it all coordinates nicely, then to complete the look i added some small white roses and some small variegated purple flowers. 

Next up is my image for Kenny k.. this is called Bow Adult shes a sexy little thing ..

I again started with a 8 x 8 black card base, i layered some soft pink rose pattern paper from my stash, i teamed this with another richer red paper that has a very faint pattern again matt on black and layered i then cut a fancy shape in black and matt with the safe soft pink rose pattern paper, i popped the image onto sticky pads and centred her in the fancy panel, i added a bow ( of course) and some bling , a large red rose, and some smaller tonal brown roses to finish.

I really enjoyed doing these, and the other design team members have done some amazing cards for you to be inspired by  so pop over and have a look, get busy and lets see all your lovely creations xx

Our sponsors are   Jelly Park offering 5 images of your choice next is Bugaboo digi stamps offering 7 images of your choice and finally Floppy Latte who are offering a $6 voucher to spend in their store.
Here is my card for this week
                                 

I thought she looked quite sweet with her little pram, and so went with a new baby card, i chose some lovely spring colours and printed out the papers from my craft studio, i then made a tab saying new baby , coloured her with pro markers, and matt each paper onto a nice pale green card which actually looks grey in this pic :/ 

for the base card i found a digital punch in my craft studio and printed it out in black, then cut it out and lay it along the edge of my base card, drew around it then cut it out with a scalpel , flipped it and repeated on the other side.
i finished it off with some pretty pale green ribbon .
hope you like it and come join us at Glitter n Sparkle challenge this week.

visible Image Launch Jake & Katie

hi everyone,
hope your all well, my post today is to launch another 2 super cute characters for Visible Image Stamps...first up we have the lovely Katie she is just adorable, and she is surrounded by beautiful butterfly's and who doesn't love butterfly's?

i coloured her with pro markers as usual, then i chose a butterfly backing paper, (not that you can see much of it lol) and printed it out in blue and lemon, i then chose a blue mirri card, in a complimentary blue, and matt this onto a white card blank, popped on the blue backing paper , then cut a fancy shape out of gold mirri and then a gain slightly smaller out of the lemon backing paper, i wound ribbon round the middle of these layers and added a final fancy shape layer in blue mirri.

i had used 2 shades of blue ribbon, to compliment the mirri card and the blue of her skirt, so i tied 2 bows and added a silver butterfly charm and glued to one side, then added some fancy swirls, i finished by adding Katie on the blue mirri matt and her little butterfly's  of course :)

so next up is Jake

how cute is his face! a right little dude...

this time i used papers from do crafts paper mania chronology in a lovely green, and matted onto black, Jake is coloured in with a combination of pro markers and coloured pencils added some stars and a label, then popped Jake on using sticky pads to add a bit of height .

think you will have to agree they are both fab little characters, pop over to the Visible Image blog for more inspiration from the team, then head on over to the Website to get your hands on these cuties .

Hi Everyone Me again lol
today's make is for the Glitter n Sparkle weekly challenge, this week the theme is valentines / Love
or fabby sponsors are as follows , first up with 3 images of your choice is Daisy Doodles, next with 5 images of your choice is Digi Darla and finally we have Sandi's Samples offering 4 images of your choice.
ok so onto my offering lol

I loved this green paper, and thought it would go nice with pink, so i decided on the card layout, and printed the backing paper and stuck to the front of the card, i then printed it again, but i had faded it out a bit in My Craft Studio, and put the digi on top also faded out, i also printed the digi normally, once i had cut out the faded panel i used it to draw around don't he front of the card and cut the panel out to give an aperture, i then stuck the panel inside lining it up with the cut out front. Next i coloured the digi and cut each bit out and layered on the inner panel, ( those little hearts where tricky lol). 

to finish i punched a butterfly and coloured to match, and made some roses ( never made these ones before so they are a little rough) and finished of with the little bling to bring it all together.

hope you like it and come play with us at Glitter n sparkle.

hi everyone

Happy Saturday hope your all having a good weekend, I'm freezing! lol still at least its not snowing...

today i have another character tag for you from the fantastic Visible Image stamps...and up today is Molly, i love Molly shes such a cutie...

I started with a plain white base tag, covered it in pretty paper that was a yummy pink with tiny flowers all over... i inked the edges in fired brick distress ink, then went all over randomly in black memento ink using the skull stamp from the teen extras set. then went all over again in fired brick with the retro dots background stamp.

I stamped Molly and cut her out in a circle, and coloured with pro markers, then added black lace around the edge, stuck it down on sticky pads to add height.

next i added ribbon pleating it as i stuck it down, and then stuck a strip of black gems across the centre.

to finish it off i coloured some flowers with cranberry and liquorice inkadinks water based inks, stuck in place and added black gems in a flourish....  

and here she is
