OSAAT #201 - Girly

Come and join us at One Stitch at a Time for the challenge set this week which has a Girly theme. I chose the image Dragonfly/Waterlily by Craftygirl over at the Stitchybear Digi Outlet. 

My card blank is a large scalloped square by Craft UK. The pink and turquoise card is by Papermill and I embossed the pink card with a Crafter's Companion embossalicious folder of butterflies. I rounded the corners of the turquoise card with a Carl corner punch and cut the pink with a Spellbinders grand scalloped nestie. The image was coloured mainly with my Promarkers though I did use a Sakura glitter pen on the dragonfly to give it a sheen. I then cut it out with a Spellbinders grand oval nestie. I gave a shadow to the image and round the edge of the oval with an ivory coloured Promarker. The turquoise ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl and the little wooden dragonfly, once again coloured with the Sakura pen, is from Create and Craft.

Ring for Pizza

My card today sums me up without a doubt - we had pizza for dinner! It's a large square card blank from Craft UK with another sheet of that fabulous paper from the First Editions pad 'Hideaway,' matted on to turquoise pearlescent card from Payper Box, as the backing for this great digi from Bugaboo. I coloured the image with Promarkers and cut it with my new Spellbinders label die before using Distress Ink on the edges. I then matted it on to the larger size label in turquoise. I used a length of The Ribbon Girl's turquoise seam binding down the left side and tied it with a bow. I think I used artistic licence to slightly change the wording of the Bugaboo sentiment to print it on my computer before matting on to card and adding a small pearl.

I'm entering this card in to the following challenges:

Lollipop Crafts - Mama Mia

Love to Create - For Mom/Special Lady

First card this week!

I've not had much time to make a card this week so I've taken the opportunity today - before the moment disappeared! I've used a small Craft UK square card blank. The backing paper and card are from Papermill and the paper was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. The image is a LOTV fairy from the freebie pack given in a magazine. I coloured her with Promarkers and cut out with a Spellbinders rectangle nestie, backing it with the scalloped nestie. The ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl, the brad is from Papermania and the pearls are from WOC.My only bit of glitter is on her wings, done with a Sakura gelly goll pen, however, it's difficult to see clearly.

I'm entering the following challenges:
Lili of the Valley Challenge 113 - Aqua, White with a touch of glitter
Crafty Creations Challenge 136 - Fairies
Flutter by Wednesdays - Must feature buttefly, fairy or angel
