Goldie Locks

I have used one of the Elisabeth Bell stamps for today’s card, this is Goldie Locks – too cute!  I have also used the delish Lace Doily 1 border die again, it’s my favourite border die and cuts like a dream too.  And the darling umbrella sentiment is from the Singing in the Rain set.  The accompanying Umbrella Die is also from this release.

The paper is from the Prima Divine paper pad.

A Lil' Bit of Gorjuss!!!

Morning All, have a Gorjuss Girl card to share with you all this morning...
Michelle shared this sketch with the DT, and we were going to use it on next months challenge...but now that we have decided to stop doing our monthly challenges be prepared to see cards from all of us with this sketch....we all loved it...

So I have used one of the Kling Mounted Gorjuss Girls (she is called The White Rabbit) which I have stamped onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and coloured with Copics. The papers are all Teresa Collins Now & Then layered with some black Bazzill Cardstock. I added a little Bakers Twine a clock face charm and a Craftwork Cards sentiment.

It's been a while since I coloured one of these girls, but I think I will have to pull another out and get colouring....they are so nice to colour...and people seem to love to receive cards with them on....I know I do!

I have then added paper from the Echo Park Hello Summer Collection to the card base. The sentiment is from the MFT Doodle Garden Springtime Garden stamp set and this has been stamped on to the larger circle. The card panel has then been added on top. Finished off with rhinestones.

Chloe Stem

Hello there, Michelle here. For my card today I have used the ever so pretty Chloe Stem from Memory Box. I have cut it from Bazzill Raven CS and mounted to the base with glue. The base has been made by making a mask using one of the circles from the MFT Die-Namics Circle Stax collection. I have then inked the centre using Tim Holtz Concord Crush Distress Ink before peeling the mask away to show a prefect circle of ink. The sentiment is from the Whimsy Stamp Everyday Sentiments set and has been stamped in the bottom corner.

Lovey Dovey :)

Stamp- TGF Lovey Dovey .


Morning Peeps!!!

Its Lou in with a post for you today and I just had to get my TGF thang on this weekend!! I absolutely adore them and they are so nice to colour up.

I did some paper piecing on this one because the Basic Grey Lucille 6x6 pad is just way to delicious to put away once you get it out so I kept finding myself excuses to squeeze a little more of it onto my card!! he he he!!!

I also had to add a few pale peach pearls, I love these!! A little glossy accents is just perfect for sticking them down too as it dries so quickly!

Have an awesome monday!!
