Totally Gorjuss 205 - Wings & Things

Wow, another week has come and gone.  I can't believe how fast time is moving and getting closer to Christmas (darn it I said the 'C' word again !) as we speak.

So here it is another Totally Gorjuss  DT Challenge card - this week's theme is ANYTHING GOES with WINGS & THINGS.  So come on join in with the fun and enter your card or project.......you know you want to!

I decided to make a CAS card, and purely concentrate on the colouring of the digi image I used from Cuddly Buddly. Even though the image is a summer one, I decided to use my fav autumnal colours - because I can. LOL  ;)

The digi image was printed onto plain white card along with a butterfly poem. I coloured the little cutie in with my Prisma Pencils using some Sansdor to blend the colours.  Finally I added a tiny amount of glitter to the flowers and mounted it onto my punched border, then onto my base 8" x 6" base.

Here's what I used.
Digi Stamp: Cuddly Buddly 'Toby Tumble DS Special Friends'
Punch: Xcut 'Design not known'
Prisma Pencils: Various colours used
Other: Computer Generated Sentiment, Glitter, Gems

So why not come and visit our blog at Totally Gorjuss and check out what my team buddies have made for you. While you're there remember to enter your card/project into our weekly challenge - remember it's ANYTHING GOES with WINGS & THINGS. There's a prize up for grabs and this week's sponsors are Crafts Companion. 

I'm look forward to seeing what you make.

Spring is in the air

Well hopefully!!! At least the birds think it's spring judging by the dawn chorus that keeps waking me up. :(

Anyway here's my newest contribution - I made it just for me because I loved the image, with absolutely no-one in mind for a change.  I decided to go CAS, nothing too fussy.

Some New Cards

Afternoon everyone
I've just finished tweaking my header using Serif CraftArtist (which I love, love, love!), it now looks so much better.

Anyway here are a few cards I made recently as promised, I hope you like them.  Both cards were made using digi kits.

Buttercup Fairy



The cute little girl, embelishments and background paper is from a really old digi kit from Cuddly Buddly called 'Buttercup Fairy', no doubt you'll probably still be able to buy her.  I printed the image and text onto my white background base card. Then I printed another 4 of the images onto another piece of card and cut out different sections of them, so I could layer them up to give her dimension - she was so easy to cut out. I used pinflair glue to layer her up, and finally I added glitter. The background cbase ard was cut at the top and bottom using my Grand Calibur and a Edgeabilities die.

The Big Red Bus

Here's the next card, I made it for a little boy who just loves buses especially red ones.

Made from a great digi kit called 'Cool Britannia' from The Lilypad (.http://www.the-lilypad.com)
I used Serif's CraftArtist to create this card.  The background and bus banner was made from bits of other digi kits and a little digital drawing/writing from me. Again this was printed off a few times and cut out.  I add a piece of acetate behind the cut out windows (sorry my photo's not very good!) for a bit of realism.  I used foam pads this time for dimension (mainly because I hate using glue...because I make such a mess...lol).

Hope you like them.
