More Exciting News!!!

I have been chosen to join Nikky Hall from PolkaDoodles and her team over at Digi Choosday as part of their design team!!! I get to use all the lovely digi-stamps, images and sentiments on the Digi-world website and Nikky's PolkaDoodle CDs which are all available on the PolkaDoodles website

The first Challenge I'm designing for goes live now and you can enter on the blog here.

 Each challenge has a new theme and this weeks is not a square card

 

 

As this is my first challenge I thought I would honor Nikky by using the Nikky digi-stamp bundle. The image - Nikky has been coloured with Spectrum Noirs with glossy accents used on her glasses. The card is a Silhouette template cut on my machine. The papers are from the bundle and the sentiment has been taken from the candy words section of Candy Doodles Collectors edition CD.

Good morning everyone
Today's the start of challenge 21 over at Scribble and Scrap. As always it's anything goes so why not pop by and enter. The rules are here and you could win yourself a £20 voucher to spend in the store.

On to my design card for the challenge

 

 

The image is a topper from Lili of the valley which I have cut using spellbinder dies and inked the edges. 

The backing papers and flowers are made from the lovely vintage collection of papers over in the Scribble and Scrap Store. They have some beautiful papers, although it doesn't show too well in the photo these have a beautiful tonal lace effect and are also complimented with some plain colours for matting and layering. The flowers and leaves were cut from a memory box die and I've added pearls from my stash to finish them off.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you look should you choose to enter the challenge.

 



pop up box

I have been admiring pop up boxes shown on other people's blogs and Facebook for some time now so thought I would have a go and make one.

 

 

As I had been asked to do a card for a garden fan and I had these sweet little stamps from Little Claire I thought this was the perfect opportunity

 

 

I followed instructions for constructing the box on the project section of Joanna Sheen's website

I used some patterned card from my stash and some paper from Lili of the valley's Promises 8x8 paper pad. Once made I then stamped and coloured the bits to pop out using my spectrum Noir pens. The stamps were a club set last year but some parts are still available as dinkies. I then cut some foliage using various dies and added a die cut fence. I stamped a happy birthday sentiment onto another die-cut and glued this on front of the box. There is a matching blank one on the back for a greeting to be added.
