Live your Dreams

Welcome

Today's card features the beautiful butterfly from Stampin Up - Swallowtail.

I first stamped it with Brilliance 'pearlescence sky blue' using my Misti and then again with vesamark. I have embossed it with Magical Mysteries 'Mermaid Fin'  which  was in a wonderful assortment of goodies that I recently won from Emerald Creek (Thanks so much) Hopefully you can see the beautiful sheen, as it was very

hard to photograph I have cut it out and adhered it to a piece from a Lawn Fawn pad and added a Hero Arts message embossed in gold. I also went around the edge with a very pale grey tombow marker, as this helps the image to stand out

Happy Birthday cupcake

Welcome to my blog and to my new follower, Joanna

Today's card was made for my dil's birthday earlier this week. I saw the design on pinterest and used my lovely cupcake die that I won recently. I cut each piece from scraps 4 times and glued together. The 'icing' was in a chocolate colour and the 'paper' in cream, which I coloured with copics to make stripes. The candle is a real one, which I sliced off some of the back, so that I could adhere it to the card. The w,s and h are hand drawn

Happy Birthday

Hello and Welcome

Today's card features a really cute Penny Black 'stickeroo'

I have teamed it with some toning striped dp and trimmed it with a scalloped and stitched die. I like the shape of this one as it adds more interest. I have finished off with a pre-cut tag, a square brad, and a birthday sticker

Welcome and especially to my 2 new followers

Today's card features a die from Tim Holtz which I have cut on some pink card. I also stamped onto a snippet of the same card with Brilliance Lightning Black, and an unknown stamp. I have used a brush and a red ink pad to bring out the design better for more interest. Layered onto a white card blank

Welcome

Here is a message from Darnell

Di recently celebrated her SEVENTH anniversary as Headmistress of Pixie's, having taken over the beginning of 2012 from the lovely Jules! That's an enormous accomplishment! Not only that, but in addition to the linky for each challenge, Di also offers a generous prize out-of-pocket!

As a celebration we are taking part in a special blog hop to thank Di for all she does.

I am linking my card to the linky party (I Hope)

Thank you Di blog hop

Love birds

Welcome

Todays' card uses an inky/painty background from my experiments box.

I have stamped the birds from a Diana Wakely set, called Little Birdies

I stamped again on some spare card, coloured and layered over the first stamping. The edges are sponged with DI 'blueprint sketch' which toned nicely with the birds.
