I decided to do an easel pink and girly easel card

 

 

The image is Tiny Dancer - isn't she just adorable :) I have colored her using Spectrum Noir markers and used a die to cut her into a circle. The card is a Craftwork cards pre shaped card blank with the scalloped cut-out. I have matted pink card onto this and used Lili of the Valley backing paper. The die-cuts were made using the same pink card and a die which was a freebie in a magazine. I typed the sentiment on my PC and printed it in pink ink. Again matting this onto the pink card.

A simple but adorable card!

I love making CAS cards - so was in my element making today's design team showcase:

 

 

The gorgeous image is called Say a Prayer, I have colored her with my Spectrum Noir pens and added some glitter to her wings.

 

Once colored I added the sentiment using my PC, this is a new font I have added called A Gentle Touch and I think it will be one I use a lot!!

Once finished I matted the image onto some pink and blue card to coordinate with the colors I used on this darling little angel. I added pink pearls to balance the card nothing else was needed as the image is the main focus!

I've used my favorite Wags and Whiskers stamp Snuggle Love

 

 

I have colored her with Spectrum Noir markers except for her skin which I colored with copics.

I have then chosen a fine blue polka dot and a larger white polkadot paper from my stash to mat the image on, using a Tonic Trellis die for the frame around the image. I have then added blue dotted card candi to the corners of the card. Keeping the card clean and simple whilst making sure you are seeing spots

I have used a pretty fairy stamp for my design team showcase:

 

 

Meet Laila! She is stunning. I have colored her with my Spectrum Noir Markers and added glitter to the patterns in her wings and on the butterfly she is holding. I chose to color her in the aqua and lavender to match in with the gorgeous papers from Lili of the Valley they are from one of their 8x8 paper pads called Promises. I matted the papers onto lavender card and once colored die cut my image in an oval so you could see the layers beneath her. A few skittles just to embellish the image was all that was needed.

Onto my Design team make for this challenge:

 

 

I have used Gemma and Bella's Spring fun stamp they have been colored with  my Spectrum Noir markers. I have then used a spellbinder die to cut the image out and a distress ink to tint the card.

I used a scalloped card blank folded into an easel shape and glued the image to this. The backing paper is from Lili of the Valley and I have matted this and my sentiment onto lilac card. The sentiment, which is a stamp from my stash, acts as a stopper for the easel.

Now onto this challenge my first make for the design team:

 

 

The theme is use buttons. I have used Snuzzle Love for my image. She has been colored using Spectrum Noir pens and fussy cut. I have to honor the design of my card to Pinterest - not sure where it originated from though. I used Lili of the Valley backing papers matted onto some pink card. I printed the sentiment on some checked paper from the same collection using my pc and glued this to the base paper. I then cut the frame using spellbinder dies, I fixed acetate to this and foam tape to seal the edges. Yellow and pink buttons were placed on top of the checked paper and the frame placed over them making the shaker element. I used a pink fine tip pen for the faux stitching and placed the image on the card. I then used 4 square pink buttons with bakers twine threaded through them for further embellishments.

Mollie has already claimed the card as she says the girl looks just like her - and she's not wrong!!
