Die-ing for a Challenge...

This months Die-ing for a Challenge theme over on Dies to Die For is "Anything Goes". One lucky winner will win a £25 voucher to spend in their online store.

I have made a card using one of the Stamping Bella Uptown Girls called Vienna and her Vespa which I have coloured with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - E23/E25
Clothing - BG70/BG72/BG75/W9
Vespa - R37/R39/W0/W2/W5/W7/Y21/R30
The papers are all Glitz Design Cashmere Dame which I have layered with some Craftwork Cards shimmer cardstock. The sentiment comes with the stamp and I have added the flower by rolling and gluing some tutu trim ribbon.

Dies to Die For September Challenge...

This month over on the Dies to Die For Blog our challenge is Spots &/or Stripes. For my card I have used one of the new The Greeting Farm stamps called Anya Treats. These stamps are a little larger than the regular Anya & Miss Anya stamps and are limited editions...so grab them while you can. I have coloured her with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - 100/C3
Clothing - R81/R83/R85/C0/C1/C2/C3/C5/C9
The papers are all The Paper Company Girlfriends, and I have layered them with some Craftwork Cards Shimmer Cardstock. I added the doily that was given to me in a RAK from the lovely and super talented Damaris. I used the sentiment from the stamp set plus a Craftwork Cards die-cut one. The "love" flair button is by American Crafts and the clip is a really really old (2005) Lil' Davis one and has the word "adore" on it. I thought it appropriate to do a card with Cupcakes on as it is National Cupcake Week (according to posts I keep seeing on Facebook).

For my card I have used the My Minds Eye Union Square which I have layered with some red cardstock and black cardstock...then I simply added some jet black bling. The "LOVE" was cut from one of the papers. I really is a simple card from me, but I know a couple of people who prefer cards without characters on.

Flutter Heart...

As it was my 23rd Wedding Anniversary this weekend just gone, I made a card for my lovely Hubby. I decided that I would do something a little different and use a stamp that didn't require me to colour (although I added a touch of red).
The stamps I used were The Greeting Farm Flutter Heart clear set which I stamped onto Bazzill Kraft cardstock using a black Versafine inkpad. The papers are all My Minds Eye Paris & Co and I have layered them with some Bazzill Kraft cardstock. To cut the postage stamp layer under the main image I have used a Nestabilities Postage Label die, currently out of stock. I have embellished with some pearl bling and tulle to finish off my card.
