A little bit Bewitching :)


Morning everyone!! Lou here with a bit of a Bewitching kinda card!!! he he he he!!!

I love love love Tiddly Inks and I love halloween so when these fabulous Bo Bunny papers came I knew just what I wanted to do with them.

I also fancied another go at colouring on Kraft cardstock and a witch seemed a good thing to pop onto that so I used my memento tuxedo black to stamp her on and then got colouring!!! I added a few dots here and there of white gel pen around her just to ping her out a bit.

Thank you for popping in on us!!

SB - Uptown Girl - Opal the Optimist...

This week I am sharing another of the Stamping Bella Uptown Girls, this one is called Opal the Optimist and I have stamped her using Memento Ink in Summer Sky onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock. I have kept this card very simple just using three small scraps of paper and a small scrap of cardstock. The papers are all by Echo Park Birthday Girl Mini Theme Kit. The banner was cut from one of the pieces of paper in the collection and I added a couple of sentiment stamps the main one being by Inkadinkado from their quote stamp range, and the fabulous one is be Hero Arts. I also created a cocktail glass out of bling to finish off.

I hope you are all waking up to a gorgeously sunny monday like me, I love waking up to sunshine!

Todays share is a little TGF stamp.I absolutely love these Blush girls, they are so sweet. 

I coloured her up with my promarkers and thenhad a good search in the gorgeous 12x12 papers bundle that I bought last week from the shop. If you are like me and you love surprises this pack is just perfect for you! I ooohed and ahhhhhhhd for about 10 mins when it came!!! and luckily there were a couple of Bildmalarna papers in there that just looked as if they knew I was making this card!! they are stunning.

Its sooo easy to make a really cute card with the Dienamics Blueprints 3 set, this card was done in around 30 mins!! that little bow dies is too cute and fitted perfect on my scraps of card! love it!!!

So have an awesome day peeps! Thank you for popping in on us!

Stamping Bella - Uptown Girls...

Don't know about you, but I love these girls....if I could I would own them ALL....

So here is a card I made with one of them...
So I have used Faith the Fairy, and again I wanted to try the "no lines" colouring as I wanted to see if it worked better with different stamps...I stamped her onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock with Memento Ink in Summer Sky and coloured her with Copics... I think I prefer how this one came out compared to last weeks Magnolia image...and the only thing I did differently was to use a pen to make the eyes stand out again..

So the papers on this card are all My Minds Eye Find Your Wings and Fly - Up & Away paper pad. I have added some MME Washi Tape and also some stickers...all from the same range. The "hold fast to your dreams" bit was cut from one of the sheets of paper in the pad, and I finished off with a doily, some twine, a Craftwork Cards tag sentiment and used the sentiment that comes with the image.

Be sure to pop back tomorrow to see what we have to share with you...

I have a little wee stamps make to share with you all this morning, isn't she wonderful. I have to say I absolutely adored colouring her up last week.
