HIGH HOPES HOLLY THE WINTER FAIRY

My next card has been made for The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge No. 4 - Sketch from Donna. Once again this is a new stamp I have just received from High Hopes called "Holly the Winter Fairy". I thought she was so cute, and I could not resist buying her. She has been coloured in with my WC Brushes, and cut, and layered on pearlescent green cardstock. I had to improvise a little in getting scallops at the bottom, so I used my scalloped Rectangle Nesty, and then cut three of the sides straight, and left the fourth side with the scallops to fit in with the Sketch. For a little added interest, I have glittered the fur, and holly berries too! The main stripey backing paper has been printed from a download off a CD that came with the Crafts Beautiful magazine a couple of years ago. The plaid backing paper is from HOTP.

SARAH KAY TREAT YOURSELF

This is a rather late posting for me for Sarah Kay's Challenge - Week 16 "Treat Yourself". My treat to myself is probably like everyone else "Chocolate". I bought two of my favoutite chocolates, and just took their top wrappers off. I then used the wrappers as templates, and cut two different backing papers to re-cover the Choccies, and tied ribbons around them. I then used two Sarah Kay images, coloured them in with my WC brushes, and cut and layered them, using my Oval and Scalloped Oval Nesties. I punched brads through the tops. and tied them up with Organza ribbon, and made bows on each.

SUGAR NELLIES DRESS UP MAGGIE

This next card has been made for Cutie Sunday Challenge - Sketch No. 15. I have chosen Sugar Nellies "Dress Up Maggie" stamp, and she has been coloured with Art-Kure WC Brushes, and Sukura Metallic Gell pens. I do not have any templates that would give me the "8-sided" shape, so I went back to my school days, and pulled out the good old-fashioned compass, and the best I could do was this "6-sided" shape. Pretty close to the requirement on the Sketch. I am really rubbish at doing things like this freehand, I can never get the lines even enough.... The backing paper was printed from a Funky Hand Paper Collection CD, and finally added three paper flowers with brads through the centres to complete the Sketch.

ROCK STAR

This card has been made for Kaboodle Doodles Challenge No. 8 - "Rock 'n Roll/Song Title". I had just finished colouring this image to use for another Challenge, but decided at the last minute to change what I was going to use. I then saw the Challenge for Kaboodle, and thought it would be put to better use. This was a stamp I bought at the Big Stamp Show in Sept 2008 at Alexandra Palace, and it is from a company called Dimension Fourth. The stamp did not have a name on it, so I will give it a nick-name of "Rock Star" fitting in perfectly with this Challenge. I have coloured the image with WC Brushes and Sukura Gel pens, and cut down to size. The image has then been layered on black pearlescent cardstock, and again on a Shocking Pink cardstock. The backing paper was printed from Kaboodle Doodles download called "All Stars", and this has also been layered on the shocking pink cardstock. The sentiment has been made on my PC, and layered the same as the image. For the final touch.... a paper flower, with a pearl brad through the centre.

ELZYBELLS ICE SKATER

Just a quick posting from me tonight, and this card was made for The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Challenge 2 "Sketch". I have used an Elzybells stamp called "Ice Skater", and have used my Art-Kure WC Brushes to colour the image in. This was pretty easy, as there was only one colour. I have cut the corners of my main image using a circle punch, but only putting the corner of the card in the punch. This was purely done by guess work, so my corners may not all match!! The image was then layered on pale green pearlescent cardstock. I had a piece of the green spotty paper left from another project, and have used this as my main background. I have stamped the sentiment, and also layered this on green cardstock.
