Inky Chicks - Fairies and/or Angels

Good evening everyone!

I know it's a strange time for me to post, but this is my first Design Team card for Inky Chicks. I was asked by the lovely Lisa if I would join their lovely team - and of course I said YES.

Inky Chick's challenges run every fortnight (starting on a Tuesday evening at 7pm) and always have a fab prize up for grabs. I'll be posting a card/project once a month for them --- so watch this space!

So here's my make for this month -- the theme is Fairies and/or Angels.

Here's What I did
I made my own circular card base using my grand scallop circle dies. I also die cut a green circle mat, and a larger scalloped circle using some LOTV patterned paper. I then printed out this gorgeous little fairy called Maya onto Neenah CS, which I die cut it into a circle. I coloured the image flat with my Copic Pens using the colours in the paper so everything co-ordinated together. To finish off I punched out some butterflies and added a touch of glitter to her wings.

Here's everything I used:

Digi Stamp:  Maya by Wee Stamps

Paper/Cardstock (CS): LOTV 'Bonnents & Bowties', Papermania CS, Neenah CS

Copics (C) / Flexmarkers (F): Skin - Ivory , Blush Dusky Pink (FM), Cheeks - R30 (C), wings - BG000, YG11, YG03 (C) / Flower, Jacket & Dress - BG000, BG01, BG05, B000, B05 (C) / Leaves & Stem - YG11, YG03, YG09, G07 (C) / Grass - YG01, YG011, G07 (C)

Sweet Stampin' Challenge - A Little Bird Told Me..

Hello everyone, here's my last Design Team card for Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog. for 2013. The theme this week is A Little Bird Told Me... (or have a bird on it). Remember your card/project must have a stamped element on it. We hold a weekly challenge with a fantastic prize plus a monthly prize draw for everyone who enters a card/project throughout the month. 

Isn't she a cutie pie! She was such a dream to colour in and for this card I used my Prisma pencils and some solvent. I stamped her 3 times and coloured certain sections of her in, then I cut these sections out and layered them up. To draw your eye in I used my pan pastels to sweep colour around the edge to frame the image. Finally I matted her onto coordinating card stock and added my die cut flowers and banner.

Here's what I used:

Digi Stamps: Wee Stamps 'Peggy'

Cardstock: White card base, Green & Blue Cs, Blue Glitter CS, First Edition 'Up Up & Away'

Dies: Tattered Lace 'Embellishment Dies', Britannia Dies 'Small Multi Flower', Medium 'Multi Flower', Signature Dies 'Bunting'

Pretty In Pink

Made for my lovely niece...not sure if I've gone a bit heavy on the pink!!!  You know what it's like, you get an idea and you've just got to run with it.  This was terrible to photograph, I find it so difficult to take a good shot of an easel cards...this was the best I could do. Although it wasn't planned I've decided to put into 'Passion for Promarkers' challenge (153) this week - the theme is 'lots of layers'...handy eh!  I've also just entered Bunny Zoe's Craft Challenge 25 - Girls;, Girls, Girls.
Wish me luck!
I used 'Wee Stamps' Silver Fairy digi stamp and coloured her in with markers twice, cut bits out and layered her up.  I just love her, she's so pretty and a joy to colour in.

Stuff I used:
Grand Calibur, Circle Scissor, Glitter, Inkdusters, MS Leaves Punch, Distressed Ink, Pro & Flexmarkers
Dies: Spellbinder Grand Scallop Circle, Perisan Accents & Edgeabilities, Marianne Designs - LR0120 Swirl & LR0162 Swirly Roses, Cheery Lyn Designs - Small Exotic Butterfly
Stamps: Silver Fairy digi stamp - Wee Stamps, Sentiment Circles - Lili of the Valley

Thanks for looking, I hope you like it.
