A Card for the Sugar Bowl and Sugary Sunday Challenges

Good Morning Crafters, well I dont know about you but it seems this weather is never going to improve all day yesterday we had heavy rainfalls though I must say it was a lot warmer than its been for awhile, I just wish it would improve so we can see the trees starting to leaf up at the moment there doesnt seem to be much growth at all on them. I did treat myself to some polyanthus and pansy's yesterday and popped them into the pots on my patio and they are giving us some colour for a change so maybe it might encourage the rest of the garden to cheer up, you never know.
Anyway todays card has been created for this weeks Sugar Bowl "Anything Goes" Challenge and the Sugary Sundays "Favourite Colours" one, Ive used this sweet Funky Kits fairy image for my card.

I know that pink is not the easiest of colour to use so I took the bull by the horn and then used it to colour my image, its one of my favourite colour choice as is purple and I did use a little of that on the lollipops. I then used Nestabilitie Die No.8 to cut it out and a decorative one for the mount.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card the papers I have used are from My Minds Eye "Memorable" paper pad, the first a pretty pink background with white spot on, and for my second I have used a flower pattern on a cream background along the edge I have used a deep edged punch down the edge, then placed it onto the base mount and then took another piece of white card and ran it through my ebosser with a embossing folder and placed it along the top of the same piece of pretty paper.
The mounted image was then placed in the middle and then I cut a piece of pink card and used a label die for the sentiment and which was also cut with a oval die and placed on the label die and stuck at the bottom on the right hand side. The final flourish is the four gems in the top two corners.

Good Afternoon Crafters, well the sun is out again but its extremely cold here in Gloucestershire and weve actually been promised a warmer spell next week but its still something you can hardly think about as it changes so quickly, we are going to have a summer arnt we? Anyway to cheer you up todays card has been created for yet again the Sugar Bowls "Anything Goes" and Sugary Sundays "Dies and Doodles" Challenges and I have used this little cutie for my card, its one from Funky Kits.
I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used a Nestabilite Die No.11 to cut her out, then doodled all around the edge. I used the same die to draw around to create the mount for her, and the sentiment was one from my stash.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card, the papers are all from My Minds Eye "Memorial" Paper Pad, I have used a pink patterned one for the first mount then used another piece of the pink card and a Marianne border die I cut it out and placed it along the bottom of the card.
I then used another of the papers from the pad and cut a strip and a border punch from Martha Stewart and punched it out on both of the edges then placed it on top of the pink card.
The mounted image was then placed in the middle with the sentiment below on the right, to finish of I have  used a piece of the left over pink card a Whimsey Swirl die I have cut out two pieces and placed then around the top of the image.

"Sundays with Santa" - shaped Card

Good Afternoon Everyone, well its been a busy day so far for us, we went to Chepstow to do our monthly shop and that took us 3 hours so you can well understand why everything is a bit behind. Anyway Ive just posted this on facebook as this is where the Challenge is and this week its Shaped Card. The card will be but away for a special friend of mine, I wont disclose her name as it wouldnt be a surprise would it.  Ive used this gorgeous Penny Black image which Ive had in my stash for quite a long time the stamp itself is over a year old, and coloured it with my copic and tria pens, then used my rotatrim to cut it out. The base card is 6"x 11" which has been folded to create this shape and Ive used one pattern paper from the My Minds Eye paper pack that I got from one of my Craft magazine it was a freebie this month.
I then put my image in the centre and used a sentiment ribbon across the bottom underneath, to finish of I used two of my poinsettas as embellishments with some stickles on the petals.
