Crafty Catz Challenge #281 ~ Spring Time

Morning!  Well this weeks challenge over at Crafty Catz is Spring Time and the theme has been chosen by our wonderful Dianne and we have a wonderful sponsor too 



PRIZE......3 IMAGES OF WINNERS CHOICE
The DT were given some wonderful images to play along with, unfortunately due to problems with my thumbs recently followed by ink and printer head problems I was unable to use one of those images, in fact my project does not involve any colouring, but lots of cutting on the Cricut, some flowers, a bit of wire and ribbon and a few punched butterflies. This is quite a picture heavy so my apologies for that but wanted to show you all 4 sides.

Hmmmm Cupcake!

Wow, feels like ages since I last posted but it was only Friday, trouble is I haven't had much crafting time the past couple of weeks due to work and it has taken me ages to finish this card but finished it I have so thought I'd share it.

The image is from The East Wind and is called Diva Lisa Hmmmm Cupcake and I have coloured her with Copics, fussy cut her and layered onto papers from PM Happy Days, which are layered onto green cs which I embossed and then palin pink cs.  I finished off with some green gems and peeloff sentiments.

Not a card

Good morning, just thought I'd share this little box frame I've decorated.  I have used this months fabulous freebie from The East Wind.  I have paper pieced her skirt with paper from Raspberry Road Designs Always Asia kits and placed her on paper from Raspberry Road Designs SallyAnn kit.  I added liquid pearls to the flwoer centers and finished colouring the image with copics and spectrums.  The flower stems are  cut on the cricut and I added liquid pearls to them and then pulled a pin through for a different effect, finished off with a JS butterfly die cut and some little punched butterflies.  I'm pleased with the outcome and I hope my recipient will be too.

Crafty Catz Challenge #278 ~ C&S

OOpps I'm so late posting this, it's my DT card for this week's challenge over at Crafty Catz, I forgot to shedule before I went to work yesterday for a long day adn sleep in, followed by the early today and I don't seem to have stopped since I got home from work but the good news is I have Saturday and Sunday off! Anyway back to the challenge, this week it was the turn of our wonderful Janette to set the theme and she chose C&S (Clean & Simple) and sponsoring the challenge this week we have the wonderful
Prize 3 digi images

I used a beautiful stamp called 'Roses and Tulips' which I have coloured with my copics and spectrums.  I stamped the image and sentiment directly onto white cs and then embossed the edges and fixed to a green card blank, added some sakura stardust to some of the flowers and it was done!  The bit that took the longest was deciding which fabulous stamp from Crafty Sentiments to use! lol
