How do you like my ride?...

Well happy Twisted Thursday to all you Outlawz members and crafty peeps alike!

It’s that time again, and we have a new twist for this week’s Anything Goes challenge for you.

It’s all about “Wheels”

Now I’ve had this little image kicking around in my stamped/printed stash that I’ve been waiting to use, and this challenge has given me the perfect opportunity to do so.

There is also one particular person that I have in mind to give it to as well. It is her rubber stamp that used and she just happens to be near and dear to my heart. I just want to remind her of that fact, therefore I have used one of my fav friendship sentiments. 

Now, it is a pretty basic card again this week as I didn’t have a lot of Copic colouring to do…I should do this more often cuz I am a lot faster at making them, LOL J

I simply used my cool grey collection to give the shaded areas a little more depth and then gave it a colour pop with the flowers in the basket. I followed up with some flocking and a dab here and there with various Spica twinkling pens.

Both the border punch and the flowers were made using Martha Stewart products. Add a little bit of ribbon and some Viva Décor Pearl pen dots in the corners and it  was finished. 

But to me it is what is inside that counts...

This is a little rubber stamp from LOTV that I found simply irresistible, a must have if you will.

It is the exact way I view my friendships. 

I couldn't have said it better myself, so I popped this inside the card and tomorrow it will be on it's way to my dear friend. 

Thanks for stopping by again this week, and I must say thank you again for all the wonderful and kind comments that you leave for me. Please know that each one is cherished and has warmed my heart, for I appreciate your time more than you will ever know. 

I hope to see you and your creations again this week. 

Take care :)S

Flowers & Rhinestones...

Hello there crafty peeps, it’s another Twisted Thursday Anything Goes Challenge over at the Outlawz!

Thanks to all of you who joined us last week for our

“Be an Angel” twist. We had some very lovely cards submitted during that particular challenge, and I really must mention that my fellow DT members rocked the challenge as well. Their cards not only were inspiration but simply put…works of art!!!

This week our twist is an easy peasey one…

“Flowers and Rhinestones”

Here is my card…

I bought some Bugaboo images recently, and learned that if you sign up to receive their newsletter they will provide you with a monthly freebie. This was the September freebie and I think it’s gorgeous and very appropriate for this challenge.

It didn’t require a lot of Copic colouring this time so I spent most of my time on the layout instead.

I used my swirl Cuttlebug embossing folder to create the background mattes and two different sized Spellbinder circle dies for the actual image.

 I mounted the smaller circle on top of the larger circle, and then used various embellishments; on the flowers I used MS Onyx glitter; diamond stickles here and there, clear mini round gems to define the smaller floating bubbles and then finally some rhinestones. The sentiment is from SU. 

I am looking forward to seeing your creations, so get yourselves into that crafty spirit and I'll see you over at the Outlawz.

Thanks for stopping by :)S

Be an Angel will ya?...

Well happy Thursday to all you crafty peeps!

We are back again for another Outlawz Twisted Thursday Anything Goes challenge, and this week our twist is; 

“Be an Angel”.

I must say I've been waiting to use this particular Mo's Digital Pencil image for a while, and I was pretty happy when I saw our twist this week. 

So, here I am typing up this post when I popped over to Mo’s web site to get the exact name of the image. Low and behold I discover this little cutie patootie is actually a fairy!  Birthday Fairy Lee to be exact...Oops! So, let’s pretend for this week that she is actually a ballerina with angel wings, ok?

I printed Birthday Fairy Lee, I mean Angel, onto Neenah card-stock and then coloured her with my Copic Markers.

As for the paper, well I've decided to recycle some of the many  cards that I have received from my crafty friends over the years. 

 While purging my craft/office/den space to accommodate my Nephew I decided to try and give some of these cards a new lease on life. 

I carefully disassembled one and redesigned it into this card. One of my faithful followers gave me this card a few years ago; do you know who you are????? 

The papers were too beautiful to be just sitting in my sample card file, so I just wanted to bring them into the limelight again. I hope you don't mind :)

     TUTU - BG 10, 11, 15

WINGS - BG 0000, 10

CUPCAKE - R81, 83, 85, 89 E71, 81

TIGHTS/SHOE - R81, 83, 20, 00

HAIR - E50, 51, 53, 55

SKIN - E21, 00,000, R20, R30

I used some stickles on the wings, my Martha Stewart punch for the flowers and then a touch of Viva Décor Cream Pearl pen for the flower centers.

So there you have it, this week's Angel twist. I am looking forward to seeing your Angel creations this week. 

Thanks for stopping by :)S
