Cute Card Thursday - Glitter Me Silly!

This week over on the Cute Card Thursday Challenge Blog our theme is "Glitter Me Silly"....we want to see your creations with loads of sparkle... Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp and we are also joined again by Jenn, our Guest DT.

For my card I have used a couple of stamps by CC Designs coloured with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - E50/E51/E53
Boots - BG18
Clothes -R59/R85
Tree - YG95/E57
The papers are all My Minds Eye "Winter Wonderland" and I have layered them with some Bazzil & Bazzill Bling cardstock. I have used my Nesties to create a background for my image to sit on, and it has been embossed with my new Cuttlebug Kars Snow Embossing Folder. I have also used a couple of Martha Stewart punches, one for the snowflake and one to create the double scallop. Finally I have added some bling and ribbon from my stash and a sentiment by Craftwork Cards. Also as you can see from the side shot below the papers are all glittered and I have added glitter to the Flowersoft I used on the image, some Doodlebug glitter on the bauble, DecoArt Glamour Dust to the snowflakes and some Sakura clear glitter gel pen to the wings on the main image...so it really dones sparkle.
I have also used the sketch over on Sketch Saturday, which I have rotated through 90 degrees.

On a happy note today, I won last weeks challenge over on the All That Scraps Challenge Blog....so I got to choose FOUR CC Designs stamps, so I chose the new Sweet November stamps.

Tilda & Co Challenge 34 "Emboss This"

A little late, but this weeks challenge over on the Tilda & Co Challenge Blog is "Emboss This". So what better excuse did I need tio get my new Cuttlebug out.

For this card I have used Forest Tilda (I think that was her name) coloured with my ProMarkers with a sentiment stamp by Hero Arts and a swirl by Autumn Leaves. All the papers are by My Minds Eye and are from the September ScrapaGoGo kit (I am using the pieces I didn't use in my designs this month). The flowers are by Prima with Flora Doodle brads by Petaloo (they are foam on the top with oodles of glitter on them...but you can't see that and were in the September kit too). The spacers are some I got in an old kit....not sure who from. I have used my new Nestabilities for the circle and scallop...yay first time I have used them.

Friday Sketchers - Sketch 13

This weeks sketch over on Friday Sketchers has been provided by Kimmie from Canada.
While in Hobby Craft on Thursday morning I picked up a pack of Letraset Promarkers, and this is my first ever card with them. I only have 10 colours....but have some skin tones and 6 colours on the way. I am impressed, they are easy to use, and I think the results are fab. Not sure how they compare to the well loved Copics...I thought they were way to expensive. At £1.80 per pen (http://www.sillymonkeycrafts.co.uk/) which is the cheapest I have found...even cheaper than buying from the Letraset website. I also used my fabby new Cuttlebug.....yes I succumbed and bought one. CraftsULove (http://www.craftsulove.co.uk/) had a promotion...£49.99...so even though I was going to wait until after our holiday...it was too good an offer to miss. Obviously I couldn't just buy the bug....I needed some embossing folders.....and after my holiday I want to get some Nestabilities.

Anyway, for the card I have used Basic Grey "Cupcake" papers with Bazzill cardstock embossed with the "Spots & Dots" folder. All images are Magnolia and the sentiment is by Hero Arts. The final touch was some button brads by Karen Foster which were part of an old ScrapaGoGo kit.

So all in all....I am loving the new Letraset Promarkers, and cannot wait to build my collection of colours.
