Another Card with a Pink Gem Image

Good Morning Crafters, do you know its been a really hectic few days for me, as I decided to clear out a load of my unmounted stamps that I had been hoarding for at least 8 years, I bought them in 2005 mounted them cut them out and never used most of them, and do you know the buyers went mad it was like the January Sales in Oxford Street, in the end yesterday I was making so many mistakes and one very bad one that I decided to take a break for a few days, and also I think Ive now exhausted my store of the though I do still have a load of wooden mounted ones that I must look through sometime, but not sure if they will go as easily as the unmounted ones.
Anyway Im getting of the subject, this image is one of the gorgeous Pink Gem ones and this is "Chloe with a Balloon" and you will find her here, I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, I cut her out with a circle Nestabilitie die and the Butterfly one for the mount. The sentiment is one of the Papercraft die sets.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card, the papers I have used are from Sweetshoppes "Party Poppers" digi paper set, I have used three of the papers and the second I have used a butterfly border punch from Tonic. And to add dimension I have lifted the wings of the Butterflies to make them look as if they are moving.
I have mounted the papers as follows a pink one for the first layer a polka dot one for the second and the third is a purple one, on top I have placed my mounted image and across the top left hand corner I have used a La La Land heart banner and down the right side is the sentiment.

Happy New Year to All

Good Morning All, and a Very Happy New Year to you I hope your Christmas was wonderful, ours was very quiet as both of us were suffering with a chest infection and didnt think it would be fair to pass it on to any of the family, though it was one of them that past it onto us. Anyway Missy enjoyed opening her present and we both had a few between us to open and Ive a feeling she thought she should have opened them to.
I made this card just before the New Year and posted it on the Facebook Sundays with Santa Challenge page, its a page were each week some of us start to collect our cards for Christmas and its a good way of getting ahead of all those that we need these days. This is a Funky Kits image and I have printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens, I then cut her out with the new Tonic layering dies, and after I had cut her out I used glitter on her wings and some of the other things like the bobbles on her coat and the want.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first layer of blue card, the papers are from Nitwits "A Merry Christmouse" and as theres a mouse in the image I thought it was quite appropriate for this card. I have used four papers and layered them as shown. The mounted image was then placed towards the left, and the sentiment which is from my stash and cut out with one of the labels Nestabilitie Dies down in the right hand corner.
To finish of I have punched out some snowflakes with my Martha Stewart punches and then glittered them with German Glass glitter and latered them up and then placed them three at the top on the right and one at the bottom on the left.

Yet another card for this weeks Sundays with Santa Challenge

Good Evening Crafters well the sun is out but the sky is rather dark in places so I suspect its going to turn to rain, it just doesnt seem to want to last. Well this weeks theme over on Sundays with Santa Challenge over on Facebook is "Shades of Blue" though someone originally thought it might be "Shades of Grey" I wonder if shes hoping? Oh well I decided to use the new Tonic 4 day deal over on Create and Craft, though they are beautiful dies I must admit the punches arnt exactly as good as I expected, the one I have used on this pearlescent card jammed up when I tried to use it around the edge of the card, so I had to accept it didnt like it and then just use it on the corners.
I have used white pearlescent for the base card then used the Tonic dies for the top layer, Ive used two different ones and have placed a piece of pale blue card behind the smaller cut out, though its not to easy to see.
I also cut out the sentiment with the Cheery Lynn dies and placed them across the middle of the card, and to finish of I have used three blue poinsetta's and two fancy white flowers, I then placed them in the bottom left hand corner sticking them to the card with silicone glue on top of some punches out holly leaves.
