so happy.

Hellooooo! Well I bet you weren't expecting to see me today! I have just joined the Stamp With Fun design team and today is my debut!

So this week, we have a summer theme! You just can't beat a summer wedding and so that is what I chose.

Papers: The Girl's Paperie ~ Kitch.

Image: fast becoming one of my favourites Magnolia Wedding Tilda. I coloured her with copics and stickles.

I've used Spellbinders dies for the circles and circle scallops. Added loads of Frantage. Loving that right now!

I added a vintage key. First I frantaged it, but didn't like the effect. So I sanded it down and then rubbed on some metallic paint in different shades until I had the look I wanted. Love that some of the frantage still shows through!

The wooden clock is by Prima and got the frantage treatment too.

Some handmade flowers.

I am entering this in at the following challenges:

• S for stitching (I have machine stitched around my circles) ~ ABC Challenge
• polka dots ~ City Crafter 
• anything goes ~ Crafts and Me, Crafty Calendar Challenge, The Crazy Challenge

bride in church doorway

What a fab challenge we have today at Crafts 4 Eternity: use three embellishments starting with the same letter.

I have BRICKS, BEADS and BLOOMS.

The base papers are Doodlebug and these must be amongst the first papers I ever bought! So good to be using them up now!

The church doorway was created with a Spellbinders ~ Arched Windows One die.

I created the brickwork around the doorway using texture paste and a That Special Touch ~ Stone Wall Mask. Love the texture it gives.

bo bunny enchanted ~ wedding love

Hello there! Well we have a fabulous challenge this week at Cupcake Craft Challenges this  week, which is sparkle ... how easy is that? 

I have a wedding theme going on with the Bo Bunny ~ Enchanted papers. Again. Just can't get enough of these! All of these papers are embossed sparkly!

My main image is a Penny Black~ Bride & Groom stamp which I embossed with black glitter embossing powder, for extra sparkle, and added a hinge!

Opening the hinge, you can see on the left side, a place for journaling.

On the right is a mega large tag, add a photo or journal.

And that is not all!

On the right, I have a hidden tag.

Tag pulled out front side.

Reverse side of tag.

Notice how I have embossed the edges of everything with black glitter embossing powder for that extra sparkle.

Bo Bunny Enchanted ~ Wedding Congrats

Hello there, I have set this week's challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenges and that is, we want to see a doily, lace and twine on your project. All three! 

Once again, I've dug into my Bo Bunny ~ Enchanted papers. I absolutely love this collection, I always feel so inspired when I look at it.

Sorry about this awful photo. Hopefully the smaller ones will make up for it. 

 

Here is my doily. I've decorated a chipboard wedding dress from Maya Road.

Love this chunky Bo Bunny trinket. I've wrapped a key chain around it, which is linked to the dress.

The photo anchor opens up to reveal the other side of the dress and a space on the doily for a personal message.

Finally, here is my lace and twine. I used the Magnolia ~ So Wrapped Lovely> die. Can't believe it has taken me so long to buy this gorgeous die.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

• love and marriage ~ Crafty Calendar Challenge
• anything goes ~ Raise the Bar 
• doily heaven ~ Crafts and Me 
• metal (I have ball chain & metal on trinket) ~ Everybody Art 
• vintage/shabby chic ~ Anything Goes 

Thank you for looking.

turquoise white & black wedding: happiness be yours

Hello there! Well you can tell I didn't have a seasonal bone in my body when I made this piece for the black, white and one other colour at Cupcake Craft Challenge!

I don't know what it was about this challenge, but for some reason I went for a wedding theme using turquoise, white and black.

I have a very white background with a touch of turquoise and a hint of black.

This is pretty much Magnolia themed.

Images: I can never tire of this couple Magnolia: Sitting Wedding Tilda and Sitting Wedding Edwin. Coloured with copic markers and I added some stickles. I have them sitting on a Magnolia ~ Vintage Couch which I just inked and cut out, adding on some stickles to mute the brightness a little. 

Magnolia sentiment.

And even Magnolia Doohickeys with a lush Teresa Collins brad.

I am entering into the following challenges:

• feeling blue ~ Fussy & Fancy Challenges
• use some texture ~ Stampin' for the Weekend
• stitched up ~ Totally Papercrafts
• anything goes ~ Tilda's Town
• flowers ~ Sweet Stampin
• anything goes ~ Creative Card Crew
• pastel colours ~ Deep Ocean Challenge
• image and text ~ Anonyme Scrappere

Thank you for looking.
