Ribbon Girl - GDT - April Use any Image Challenge



Hope you are all having a good Sunday rest, I have lots of photos for you today and I apologise now for the quality, I have decided I am not very good at photographing Boxes.  When I first started blogging again I ordered lots of goodies from Mary and Andrea at Ribbon Girl, and was over the moon to get an e-mail from Mary asking if I would be a Guest Designer for this months Any Image Challenge, as you can imagine I took zero seconds to think about it, I almost flew up North I was in such a hurry to say yes.  I cannot imagine a better Company to GDT for with all the lovely Ribbons, Laces and Flowers they sell I didn't have to stint on my embellies its like being in seventh heaven for me.  Don't forget to pop over to the Ribbon Girl Blog  and check out the fabulous prizes and join in the Challenge



Anyway, lets get on to my project for the Challenge, I have made a 4 Drawer Box, I really like making these and Lucys loves them to keep all her precious things in, (if you would like to make a box yourself I have a tutorial on my Tutorial Blog here is the Link 4 drawer box tutorial in case you cannot find it.


I have used a cute Wee Stamp by Whimsy - Flower Fairies there are 2 fairies and sentiments on the stamp sheet, so expect another card using the other fairy soon.



Thought you might like a close up of the flowers, all details and Links of flowers dies etc used on the card can be found below.



A final not very good picture giving a more idea of the drawers for you, obviously there is one on each side of the Box,



Thank you once again Andrea and Mary for asking me I have really enjoyed myself playing with this.

Morning All, where has the sun gone, really dull and dingy here this morning.  At the weekend I bought myself a Nutribullet to make smoothies as I wasn't eating enough fresh fruit & veg, I have been having one smoothie a day since Sunday and I must admit I feel a lot brighter, the thought of  adding spinach & carrots to fruit didn't seem very appertising but you don't taste them at all.

It's a Boy






Morning, this will be a quick post, yesterday I decided to catalogue my Lili of the Valley stamps, being as I almost have every stamp every released from the first original Jasmine & Oliver Stamps to the newest release its taking rather a long time, but I am sure it will be worth it in the end. 




 I came across this image, "Cosy Pram", which I don't think has ever seen Ink, so had a break from sorting out to make a quick card.  What with the fabulous Lemoncraft Paper Pad "Tiny Miracles", and the sweet image I didn't think this needed to much embellishment, just a bit of Lace, Ribbon and a few pearls, with a couple of diecuts, well for me thats not much embellishment.


I have coloured the image with Copics, and added some Polychromos Pencils on the Pram, Teddy and Blanket.  I used the Joy Craft Cutting & Embossing Butterfly Border Die which has been cut twice once in white card and once in paper from the Lemoncraft Pad,  I then cut it down into individual butterflies and arranged them around the image, I have also cut 2 Doo Hickey Labels and tucked them behind the image.
  


Material Used






Copics Used:

Skin E11, E21, E51, E53
Blues: B02, B00, B0000  + Light Pathalo Blue PC Pencil
Browns: E53, E51, E50, + Burnt Siena PC Pencil

Well back to cataloguing who knows what other forgotten stamps I may find.

Have a good day all

Feeling A Tad Grumpy Today



Morning Peeps, before I start I must tell you its not me who is grumpy its the little fairy who is throwing a strop.  This is a Digital Image from Paper Shelter -  A Little Bit Grumpy, she reminds me of Lucy when things don't go her way, I bet you all know a little girl like that.  The sentiment is a wooden Stamp I bought ages ago and I'm not sure where I got it from, I have a few more like this with really brilliant kids saying.


 As you can see this weeks obsession is coloured hair, might try Aqua next.  Have managed to use a few more of my enormous stash of Magnolia Papers 

Copics were used again to colour her with a touch of Polychromos pencils here and there, think I am getting the hang of Copics again, I must admit I nearly threw in the towel when I first started but glad I persevered. 


Lots of embellies and a couple of dies used, I also tucked some, pink tulle, that I found in my ribbon box, behind the image.  The Butterflies  and sentiment were edged with Green Copic pen using the chisel end.




Material Used:


Magnolia Papers from Stash
Sentiment Stamp from Stash
Green Flat Back Pearls from Stash





Copics:
Skin: E11, E21, E51, E50, R20
Hair: R85, R83, R81
Dress: YG17, YG03, G20, R83, R01, RV0000
Wings: BV02,BV01,BV00, BV000



That your lot folks, have a good day

Rowan Fairy


Hello Peeps, Hope you are all having a good weekend.    Another  Whimsy Wee Stamp today this one is Rowan Fairy, I don't know what has happened with the colours on this photo, her hair and the papers are much more of a pinky mauve than they appear here. 



Once again I have used papers from Nitwits Collections this one is called Lilac Blossom. I fancied giving her colourful hair and am quite pleased with the results, its a bit out of my comfort zone.



Rowan has been coloured with Copics colours below, and I sprinkled Frantage over the image, and used lots of flowers.  I love the Little Melissa Frances Picture Frames that are available from Live & Love Crafts, its has been used to frame a sentiment from Lili of the Valley Set 100 Teenage Girl Sentiment Stamps, which fits the frame beautifully.



Loving the new flowers & Berrys  I bought from Live & Love Crafts this week,couldn't wait to use them.

Lovely Lavender


A bit late with my post today, couldn't waste the lovely sunshine and have been working in the garden.  I also managed to get my washing hanging out and it has come in dry, cannot remember the last time that happened.



I am still struggling on with  practising getting the vintage look, I have had some welcome help with this card from the very talented Tracy from Noor Designs UK, I e-mailed her yesterday to ask if I could use her layout for a beautiful card she had blogged this week, here is the link to the card on her blog Scent of Lavender, I am sure you will agree it is stunning.  She kindly agreed to let me use her layout, thanks so much Tracy mwah xxxx.

 Tracy runs courses in Houghton Bedfordshire and I have already looked up trains and times to see if I can attend the May class, pleased to find out it is only 1 change and takes about two and a half hours, so as soon as possible I will, putting my name down.

 The Papers are by Pion Designs Scent of Lavender 12"x12" complete collection, this collection includes a sheet of Tags (2 are popped behind the image) 2 pages of Borders including Butterflies I have cut the smallest butterfly to add to the peg, it also includes a beautiful sheet of vintage Photos, it is a fabulous collection.





 This is a Little Darlings Stamp called All Dressed Up, available from Noor Designs UK , she has been coloured with Copics.


Gesso has been added to the flowers, Butterfly and Peg and around the edges of the card.  Adding the gesso has been a real trial, but I have added it with a wet brush which seems to have watered it down and made it easier to apply, not sure it shows up in  the photos but I was quite pleased with how it turned out.
