Your favourite movie for Sweet Stampin'

Hi everybody

Here comes my second post for Sweet Stampin' and Carrie chose the theme of Favourite Movie.  This week we are sponsored by Fairy Dust Crafts, and our monthly sponsor is Pollycraft Digi Stamps.

This was something of a struggle for me - I am not really a movie buff - I don't often go to the cinema - and most often wait until something comes on TV - usually pay per view, or whatever it is called, and I know there are a couple scheduled for the end of this month. 

One thing I did decide that it was not going to be cute this time around, so out came my Tim Holtz stamps, and something from B Line Designs.

My background is a variety of Distress Inks on to Ranger Manilla Card.  It was so easy to blend on this card - the first time I have used it and very impressed.  I stamped the Umbrella Man - such a favourite of mine - and then masked him to stamp the Tower Bridge in the background.  The stippling  represents the rain falling.  My sentiment refers to 'dancing in the rain' - well Gene Kelly did dance in the rain, as well as 'Singing in the Rain'.  I attached an Ideology fragment with a piece of calendar behind it and  black/grey thread pulled through it.

I am entering this for the following challenges:

Digital Delights - Bumble Bee Larry

Hi Everybody

It's time for more new creations from the team at at Digital Delights!

As it is coming up to Valentine's Day, I decided to have two little bumble bees, but I really could not colour one of them differently, but just image that one is a little girlie bee!

I have coloured with copics, and highlighted the edges of the wings and the little feelers on the top of their heads with gold Stickles.  My papers are from Nitwits (I just love their papers).  I have edged the gold star paper with Distres Inks in Scattered Straw and Walnut.  I have used a Martha Stewart punch to create a flowery border, and added some black lace.  The two heart circular pieces are Nesties.  The sentiment is computer generated.

It's a Sassy Christmas at One Stop Card Crafts

Hi everybody

Post number 2 for me today, and it's a Sassy Christmas at One Stop Card Crafts.

For my card I have used a lovely image from Mo's Digital Pencil called Christmas Fairy - Holly.  I think she is really cute, and I love her big flouncy dress - so girly.  I have coloured with Copics, and added Stickles Diamond Glitter to her dress, and the edges of her holly wings.  My papers are from last year, and I cannot be sure what they are.  My flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts and the Snowflake is a Cuttlebug Die, which I have dipped in Twinklets and glitter.

Mojo Monday meets .........

Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there.

Another day, another card.  I have followed the sketch from Mojo Monday for this. 

This card is something I have not done for a while, and even though I say so myself , I am quite pleased with it.  The images are from two Elusive Images plates - Eastern Grasses and Fresh Florals, both available from Graphicus.  I love the delicacy of the grasses, and the floral images are so life like.  This was a lucky mistake, because I stamped with Versafine, and was going to watercolour, and not concentrating properly picked up my Copics and started colouring!  Normally I would not use Versafine with Copics - however no smudges from the black ink at all.

The sentiment is computer generated, with some gems from stash.  The papers are Stampin' Up.

I am entering this for the following challenges:

Mojo Monday #143 - following the sketch provided
Creative Card Crew #52 - Thank you
Papertake Weekly Challenge - Ice Cream Flavours - well my favourite of all time is Blackcurrant, which I remember from a holiday in France, so these colours represent that.  Second comes Raspberry.  Yummy!!  However,  you could put one of every flavour possible in front of me and I would eat the lot .....

Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate your comments
