You are Magical ♥

Thanks for joining me...

I created a fun mystical card for the current paperbabe stamps anything goes challenge on the blog today...

I thoroughly enjoyed creating this unique mystical card,

yummy navy with hints of rose gold.

I started by stamping the standard eye from the female face set, in distress oxides and coloured with copics.

R21,32. BG11, 70, 72, 75. BV25. B60. W2. E70, 11.

Then added the lashes with versaclair ink last.

and complemented the story with the newest mini hands that I coloured with my copics: E11, 13, R02, 39, YR000,

and then stamped the mystic adornments in versaclair ink. Which I then fussy cut, and added those jewelled nails and finished off with You are Magical sentiment inside.

The Sizzix crystal ball was a wonderful addition, I love how it came together, I cut the aperture from the navy and the rose gold card in the same position, to then go back in with the 'glow' die, cut in the navy so the gold would show through. I've added a layer of acetate and then put the whole thing on dimensional adhesive to give depth over the eye.

I would love to play along in these challenges...

Vintage Layered Roses

Thanks for popping in...

I created a layered card using the wonderful vintage doll papers and hints of gold for the new anything goes challenge on the blog today...

I so enjoyed putting the floral design together using the Rose Layers stamps, which I heat embossed in gold and fussy cut. Then added a simple sentiment.

I would love to play along in these challenges...

May Your Birthday Wishes Sparkle

Thanks for visiting...

It's been a tough week, saying goodbye to my beautiful Grandmother.

But I needed a birthday card and had a go at split stamping for the new anything goes challenge on the blog today...

The stamping platform really comes into it's own for techniques like this, I first stamped the Peony & Bud in clear embossing ink removed panel applied wow embossing powder and then stamped again for the back layer in black ink. I also used the Pop dots to add a little more interest.

The panel was a blend of saltwater taffy, seedless preserves and chipped sapphire distress oxides.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on acetate, I adhered it to the top of the panel and used a little clear dimensional adhesive so it's floats for a little shadow play.

Follow Your Dreams ~ Boundless Art Journal

Thanks for visiting...

I've been busy in my craft area for the new anything goes challenge on the blog today...

so, I treated myself to Paula Pascual fabulous boundless journal dies and decided to create a portrait page in my new art journal. What a clever concept, I love that I can add and mix up the pages, this is a w.i.p journal and I hope to add many more paperbabe portraits.

I so enjoyed putting my dinky portrait together using the 3/4 view female face stamps I opted for the blank version so I could add her lashes.

Along with the dinky hands stamp set and the coordinating template really helped for masking her elegant hand pose.

Then her pink curly crown was created using the fun Willow Jpad hair template.

Here's the copics colours I used as I didn't photograph them:

Skin; E11, 13, 33, 39, R32 Eyes; E97, 70, B60

Hair; R21, 37, 43, 89 Top; BG11, 70, 72, 75

and I would love to enter my project to these wonderful challenges too...

Dream in a Field of Sunflowers

Thanks for visiting...

I've been busy in my craft area for the new anything goes challenge on the blog today...

I created an easel card because I really wanted my girl to look like she was standing in a field of sunflowers.

I've used the dies and stamps from Jpad portrait Head along with the wonderful jpad hands and the torso. Dressed in a patterned t-shirt using this template and this hair, I stamped the sentiment from the Flourish and Grow set.

So, when I saw the spellbinders mini blooms and sprigs, I just had to have them I have thousands of ideas and then it occurred to me they could look like sunflowers if used with the centres from be bold blooms set. I created a hinge with acetate, hoping it wouldn't distract from the flowers stalks too much.
