Glitter Me Silly

This is the stunning sketch created by the gorgeous and so sweet Nikki for our challenge this week at A Spoonful of Sugar. Thanks for a fab sketch Nikki, it was so easy to work with.

I am keeping up with my pledge to get through as many Christmas cards as I can and couldn’t wait to play with one of my new Sugar Nellie Manga stamps. Doesn’t she look like she was made to swing on a star?! She’s coloured with ProMarkers and although hard to see (as always) has been glittered to within an inch of her life! The star was cut on the Cricut – Plantin Schoolbook cart (3” plus a shadow) and embossed with the Swirls Cuttlebug folder.

Check out the rest of the DT cards – they are truly stunning this week. Our guest DT is the super-talented Mina too – I love her work, she’s fabulous.

Our sponsor is Silly Monkey Crafts so pop along to blog and join in.

I am actually also entering this card over at the Secret Crafter challenge this week which is “One for The Girls” – this is pretty girly I think!!

Have a great day everyone,

This week’s Cupcake Crafts Challenge is Distressing and yes, I found it distressing making this card!! I just don’t do the shabby look all that well (you may remember the Spoonful of Sugar challenge from a couple of weeks ago – I cheated with that one!!). I have sanded the edges of the card and used Core’dinations Whitewash card for the mount which has also been sanded a little. The paper is the stunning Blueberry Hill by Papermania (I love this paper) and the image is of course the gorgeous Daisy from Sugar Nellie (still my fave). She has been coloured with ProMarkers. If you want to see how distressing should be done then please visit the blog for ideas – the rest of the DT have done a grand job!

As this card features my favourite colour (PINK) AND my current favourite papers (Blueberry Hill by Papermania) I am entering it over at the Stamp Something challenge this week which is looking for your favourite colour/papers!

Righty’o, must dash as I am writing this on Sunday evening and have all the school stuff to get sorted for tomorrow. We’ve not long got back in from a day out in Birkenhead park at the Transport Festival (not as yawnsome as it sounds, honest) and ended up going for a Chinese meal – yum!

Ok, have a good Monday everyone.

Hugs,

Well, the blog hop over at Passion For Promarkers has come to an end and the draw for one VERY lucky winner of the new 56 colours has been announced on the main blog. However, each of the DT have a wee mini draw of our own to make to see who will win our card and one of the new pens. Here is my result:
