Tottie Breezy Fae

Good afternoon - well after a cold spell its started warming up here at last! We had a great week away last week staying on the beach at the side of  Lake Michigan 

I'm here today with another new release from Faery Ink and what a cutie she is

Meet Tottie Breezy Fae, a little daisy flower with flowing hair.

As it's Spring I decided to use fresh spring like colors on the card

Just look how her hair is blowing in the breeze!

I colored her with alcohol markers, keeping with greens and yellows. i then used the same colors on the card.

using a scalloped card blank I matted it with yellow card and a cute daisy printed sheet from my stash. I rounded 2 corners on my image and matted this with yellow card again rounding 2 opposing corners. I added some yellow ombre ribbon and making a chocolate box bow and adding the cute green flower button 

Tottie can be found in the newest digistamp section in the Faery Ink online store. For more inspiration on using her and all the Faery Ink digital stamps pop across to the Faery Ink Facebook page. The challenge over there this month is flowers and Tottie would be a perfect image to use for this.

Good afternoon! Well we have had a real mixture of weather over the last week! Snow sun, rain and now it's starting to warm up!

Today is my showcase over at Scrapoholic Candy Shop and I have a really cute image to share with you. She comes as part of a set and has a Hippo Snuggle Pal:

Yes I've colored up this cute snake and made her rather girly

She is colored with alcohol markers and I used a white gel pen to highlight her. The sentiment was typed on my PC and added after I had colored the image.

I then used a bright pink cardstock for matting and a sheet of double sided design paper to mat the card and make the smaller accent mat.

A few coordinating pearls just balanced the image.

You can find her and all her friends in the Snuggle Palz section of the Scrapoholic Candy Shop

A flower a Day

Good afternoon, well we are almost mid way through April and the weather is cold here in Michigan 

I'm back today with my second Guest Design Team showcase card for 2 Paper Divas. I am using the same stamp sets as my last post for them but in a different way to show how versatile these stamps are.

I have colored the sunflowers with alcohol markers and used a stitched edged die to cut it out. I stamped the sentiment and used the same set of dies for this just a smaller version. I then matted my card base with some orange cardstock, I placed a patterned ribbon around some coordinating design paper and adhered this to my card.

I then used the stitched die to cut 2 more coordinating cardstock mats and positioned these under my image on the left side of the card. Positioning my sentiment on the right I used small enamel dots to look like pins holding it in place. I then added a few dots to my image.

Ingredients used:

2 Paper Divas - Delightful Sunflowers

2 Paper Divas - Bloom Wildly Sentiments

Spectrum Noir Markers 

ColorBok - Signature Beach House papers

Gina Marie Designs - Stitched Rectangle Dies

Lawn Fawn - Enamel Dew Drops

Golden haired cutie

Good afternoon, It's hard to believe we are already 4 months into 2016 time is just flying by!

As it's Wednesday I'm here again with my Showcase for The Scrapoholic Candy Store, continuing with my princess babies meet Tangles

What a cutie and Mollie's all time favorite princess. her tower comes as a separate image so you can use her alone if you wish.

I colored her up using alcohol markers she is just adorable

Her green eyes are just stunning and draw you in to the image.

I then decided I was going to use the tower so colored this up. I planned to do a side stepper card with the tower on the largest part of the card but when I pulled the images together that was just not going to work so I switched it around slightly and it looked perfect

I used patterned card from my stash in coordinating colors using the lilac to mat my pink stepper card. The cardstock came with strips of mirrored card and I used one of these for the 'ribbon' along the bottom edge of my card I then adhered my princess baby and her castle to the card. Adding a sentiment which was a line taken from the movie, matted in the same card used for my base. 

Using the images this way gave a different perspective so the castle doesn't look too small!

Tangles and all her baby Princesses and Princes are available in the store and are great for children's cards so why not check them all out!

April Showers

Good afternoon - April is renowned for being showery - but as the saying goes "April showers brings forth May flowers" so the rain is necessary! 

Mollie has a little ditty she sings when it rains:

"Rain rain go away come again another day"

The Faery Ink image I am using today just reminds me of this - Fable April Showers isn't she just adorable? 

She looks as though she is dancing through the puddles

I chose to use the version of her without the rain drops and colored her up in bright pinks and lilacs

 As usual I used my alcohol markers in my favorite colors. I then matted her and my card base with a bright pink card. I chose some coordinating design paper from my stash and matted this onto the base before adding my image. 

I then die cut the adorable umbrellas in matching colors and adhered these to the design. A few pink pearls just finished off the design.

April Showers Fable is one of this months new releases in the Faery Ink online store along with others which my teamies and I will be showcasing on the Facebook fan page this month.
