Bunny Zoe's Crafts Guest DT for Jan!

Good Morning!

I was lucky enough last month to be asked to be a Guest Designer over at BUNNY ZOE'S CRAFTS CHALLENGE BLOG for the month of January!

I was so chuffed to be asked and I actually got on with my card right away!

The theme for this month is Valentines!

To make the most of my ideas that I had for this card I decided to make an Easel Card.

I will warn you now this post has a lot of pictures lol

This card also fits the Challenges at:

PAPERTAKE WEEKLY - ANYTHING GOES

TOTALLY TILDA - RIBBON & ROSES

I positioned Tilda so she looked like she was shooting Edwin with her arrow.

Here is a close-up of some of the Flowers covered in Twinklets and Stickles.

I have used a variety of Magnolia Stamps.

On this part I have used 'Right Through The Heart Tilda' & 'Sitting Edwin'.

The corner stamp is from the Magnolia Winter Kit 2010 and the sentiment is from the Summer Kit 2009.

If you look closely you can see that I have added stickles to her Bow and Arrow along with Edwin's Wings.

Here I have used both the Mini Tilda & Sentiment from the Winter Kit 2010.

This card took me quite a while to do so I do hope you all like it!

RECIPE:

Variety of Magnolia Stamps

Magnolia Christmas Paper

Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' Emobssing Folder

Heart Doily

Magnolia Flowers & Roses from Wild Orchid Crafts

Red Dew Drops, Twinklets + Stickles & Ribbon from Stash

PBSC - New Beginnings!

Good Morning!

It seems like it has been ages since our last Penny Black Challenge! Time to get back into the groove today though finally!

This week at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE we have the theme of New Beginnings! For example we'd love to see your work along the themes of New Baby / New House / New Job etc ...

Also instead of having just 1 winner for this Challenge we will have 3! So even more of a reason to join in the fun.

This card also fits the Challenges at:

PAPERTAKE WEEKLY - ANYTHING GOES

SIMON SAYS STAMP - NEW BEGINNINGS

I decided to go along with the New Baby theme, I don't tend to make Baby cards that often so I was lucky to find this Image in my stash! My fellow teamie JOEY has also used this Stamp but she has done a Boy version :)

Yet again I have added Twinklets to my flowers, I think this will now become a permanent fixture in my card-making if you haven't already guessed lol

I have used some Flower Soft on the image petals ... I haven't used this before but I received some in my SC&P Prize so decided to give it a try! I like the finished effect.

RECIPE:

Penny Black Stamp

Sentiment from LOTV

Basic Grey Papers

Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts

Ribbon & Dew Drops from stash

Before I go I'd just like to quickly mention to those fellow crafters who use Dew Drops on their work. I came across THIS SELLER on ebay who is selling them for a brilliant price which I think is a bargain! So of course I had to get one of each ... you get approx 100 gems in each pack. With combined P+P this lot only came to about £8!

I'm not a connection just a very happy customer!

Thanks for Popping By!

Happy Crafting!
