Cupcake

Hi Everyone, I have been entering a challenge for a few months and felt quite guilty I hadn't yet. so got an image, Cupcake Bakery 1 and set to colouring it, in PS of course, not anywhere near doing it by hand yet. I went searching amongst my files for digi paper suitable and yep! I had a set. I designed it in PS then printed and layered. added a swirl die, 3D'd the image, one card made. The sentiment I got off the web, sorry I forgot where.

Reading around the blogs, I notice that a few are lacking in mojo, I have decided that there is a mojo convention and they are there, hope it doesn't last long and they will be back home soon.

Trying to be Arty?

The Stamping Boutique has a flower digi for it's challenge on Facebook, I have just received my winning magazine  so had to have a go at "trying" to be arty as there were wonderful examples in the magazine.

This is my attempt, using 21 layers and blending options in PS. I know the professionals use a lot more, but I thought this was enough for me to start with, although sometimes I use a great deal more layers for my cards.  It's a start anyway, hope to carry on doing a bit more "arty", although I haven't a clue what it means LOL. Hubby thinks I should have used different colour for the flowers what do you think? Let me know.

Here is my card for the challenge. Quite a bit different!

Something a bit different for me

Hi Everyone, my "something different" is using my new Tonic circle dies and using layers with them, do you remember this? it was "all the rage" a while ago, me? I'm always way after the fashion, so here she is, my layered circles Octopus Mom and Baby by Stamping Boutique. I try and enter the Facebook challenge and this month it has to be Green. I have had this image a long while, and decided it was about time I used it. The DP paper is by ScrapitDesigns, with a second sheet given an overlay of shells by Gina Jane, I embossed the top layer with another new toy, Bubbles folder by Scruffy Little Cat. The shells were fussy cut, both also by Gina Jane. Hair and baby glittered and a scalloped circle cut with my Cricut. The cut border is by Birds Cards. Here she is at last -

Owl Love You

Hi Everyone, here's a little owl with a different shape card. Inspiration for this is from Dizzy Designs.

I used Photoshop shapes to make the template and "clipped" papers to the shape, then printed it all out and layered them on to white card. Quite a different colour combo don't you think, I love it.

I coloured the owl in PS and layered and added it to the centre and then added Stickles to the flowers and 3D gloss to the flower in her hair! also to the beak and eyes.  Then added Papermania 3D Pearl effect. This will be for my lovely patient hubby.

The Dp's are from Pixel Scrappers Blog Hop Feb 2014.

Sparkle

Hi Everyone hope your Monday has been sunny and great, we had to go out today and while waiting for our Son, we walked around the Swansea Marina, the sun was shining and warm and it felt like we were on holiday aaaaaahhhhhh!


Now to today's offering, I followed the The Stamping Boutique FB October sketch and went back to some DP's I had years ago. I have decided to revisit old items and use them.  I printed and cut all Dp's and image frame to add to the card and decided to have a 3 fold ribbon, I'm so glad I did I really like it. AND some lovely Glamour dust.

Sorry for the wonky photo.
