Cute Daisy May

Here is one I made for the Cute Daisy May challenge this week using a sketch - yes, a sketch. I don't often do them so this is a change for me. The background papers and vellums are freebies from Making Cards magazine layered and torn onto a pink pearlised card. The main Daisy May image is a download from Helping Hands, printed out onto embossing paper and embossed with silver powder. I then coloured her in using some metallic pencils from Tesco, Permapaque Pens then covered her with some Tiom Holtz Distress Stickles - I love them. She is mounted onto rose pink mirri card on blue mirri card - the colours are for the Colour Create Rose and Duck Egg Blue challenge. I added a double blue and pink flower with a brad centre to complete the look.

'I say, that can't be our chick - it's the wrong colour!'

Sorry - I do seem to be in Easter mode tonight with another card made using the Front and Back stamps - back only this time and a little freebie chick emerging from the egg. Again stamped and coloured with watercolours and oversprayed with Sara's glitter spray. The baby chick is coloured with some metallic pencils I found at Tesco and some new Permapaque pens. That's it for tonight. Ooh - Lili of the Valley have an 'Easter' challenge too so this is for you girls. Happy Easter. Sunday Stampers have the 'Birds' challenge today so all the cards I made tonight qualify, I must have been psychic.

Helping Hands Cute Daisy May Designs are looking for team members so this is one especially for them.

Messy outside in the cold

This week the challenge from Stamp Something was 'Winter Wind' so here is Messy in his baggy jumper standing outside in the cold winter weather. Messy is part of a stamp collection by Joanna Sheen, stamped and coloured with Lyra pencils then decoupaged with some added Stickles glitter glue. The background is from Linnie's Helping Hands Scenes cd. The tree is also covered with glitter but does not show up well on the scan.

Messy meets Tilda in Linnie's Garden

Here is the card I made for my own challenge this week but it also applies to Tanda Teaser 'Tulips' challenge too. The garden is one of the backgrounds on 'Scenes to Decorate' from Helping Hands who are sponsoring my challenge site today. I stamped Messy with the tulip and Tilda and coloured them using Lyra colours and Cosmic Shimmers.
