Something a little different....

Morning all!

I've been very busy the past few days organising thinigs into coloured drawers buttons, flowers, brads etc i've had no chance to blog! oopsie!

I'm here this morning to show you a card that i've made that is totally out of my comfort zone and is so not me! haha!

My friend shannon makes the most wonderful gothy punky rock chic style cards i've seen for ages and she's really inspired me to have ago! hmm... tho this card did originally start off black and white it got pink (of course) and purple added into it lol!!

I've dug out my fav bo bunny papers for this card and finally got around to using more of my doodlebug sentiment chips i love these!

 

 Now i know it's a bit random but i love these sparkly snowflakes and thought them different to add to my card... i think its compleatly naff but hey that's because it's not my style and totally out of my comfort zone... what do you think?

I'd like to enter my card to the following challenges:

Last Christmas... I Gave you my heart...

Hey all!

Yep you read the title correct!

I'm not one for making christmas cards on the best of days before the big red man comes down our chimneys! Let alone in APRIL!!! But!!! I wanted to give a different approch on one of my favourite stamps right now! (I know it's not a maggie don't die of shock! They're still my babys!!) haha!

Infact it's the lovely lil lolita Valentine lilith I first saw her months ago and has been on my wish list for yonks! well i finally purchased her in Rubbah!! and this is the second time i've inked her in so many weeks! :-) looooove these tickled pink stamps they're so fresh and funky, really quirky and stylish!

I coloured her.... get me! lol with promarkers and blended with a copic blender (i find these much better than the promarker blender), As i'd used the beautiful blue papers from Prima's Moulin Rouge collection i wanted to keep with the theme of blue and grey, so for anyone who's wondering i used Midnight blue, Denim blue & cool Grey 1-5 on my image!

The sweet Merry Christmas Sentiment is from Stampin' Up! I inked this up with Denim Blue distress ink (forgot the name), i love this sentiment because of the style quite elegant lettering!

OOooo look.... there's the organza ribbon!! I have nearly run out of my stocks on all colours so a trip to watson & thornton is a must real soon!

Tho i thought i'd really go big with the huge beautiful baby blue satin bow! just something different than your average christmas card!

I've also dug out one of my favourite Cuttlebug snowflake dies and cut in a compleatly different sparkly blue paper the flakes, the paper i used was from doodlebug! (luuuusssh!!!)

My added little touch of Christmas is these tiny lil jingle bells i brought absolutly ages ago! Naturally you must of guessed by now i made this card to fit with the christmas challenge 'JINGLE BELLS' over at Tickled pink stamps!

I love these lil jingle bells there so dainty and sweet and really do jingle!!!

If There Were No Butterflies...

Heya all!

Well the suns been shining this afternoon here in sunny shropshire! Though i woke up this morning it was icy cold! Wish the weatherman would make up his mind!

My project today is for the Tickled Pink Guest Pink Challenge Girl DT Call!! lol that's a mouth full!

I saw this call the other day and sooooo wanted to play as they have a fabulous sketch up!! and i knew just what to use!

I'm quite new to Tickled Pink Stamps but i've fell totally in love with them!!!

My card today i've used the lovely lil lolita Lilith!! She reminds me of me at the moment (a lil fed up!!) haha!!

I brought these papers which are the DCWV Garden Party stack from my local range store last week 50% off as they're closing down boooo!! but yayyyyy for the bargain!! i absolutly adore this butterfly paper (only got one sheet left, ya know what that means!) hehe, so anyways... i thought i would use a butterfly theme for lilith today! as she's feeling quite down in the dumps I knew the perfect sentiment too!!

''If nothing ever changed there would be no butterflies...''

How perfect that fitted with the theme of my card!!! it's from a current UK Stampin' Up stamp set called Flight of the butterfly (one of my currently neglected sets!!!) :-(

I was acutally quite suprised how easy i put this card together the colour combo is like a bright but not too bright pink with brown, pearly creamy colours! I made the ribbon bundle bow myself (quite fiddly!!!) but i love the results and i actually found a matching colour brad for a change... that was until i realised the ribbon i used was american crafts and so was the brad!!! lol.... I used the MS large butterfly punch to matt behind the ribbon (just something a lil different).

I didn't want to over crowd my card because of the gorjuss glittery paper so i used lots of lil punched flutterbys and pearls just to add to it!

Here's my finished card!!
