Paper Nest Dolls - Dress Up Ellie

Good morning everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

This morning I am sharing my GDT card for the Paper Nest Dolls 'Anything Goes' challenge. I have used Dress Up Ellie, who is gorgeous and so wonderful to colour and she can be found  here. She is coloured with Copics and highlighted with Prisma Pencils. I have sprinkled some Frantage around the outside and glammed her up with some Star Dust Stickles on the necklace and earrings. The flowers are from my stash apart from the Flower Sprays which are from Live and Love Crafts. The Shabby Vintage Ribbon is also from Live and Love Crafts , but they are currently out of stock. The gorgeous branches are a Joy die.

Tilda with Three Flowers

Hello my lovelies,

I hope you are having a fab weekend and the sun is shining for you! I have had a lovely week, but I can't believe how quickly it  has gone, it has flown by. Most of the week I have been playing catch up with my crafting and I am almost there now. On Friday, it was another beautiful spring day and I went for a walk in the country with my eldest son and we stopped off for a lovely pub lunch, it was a really fab day.

Anyway enough rambling from me. Today starts a new challenge at Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia and the challenge this time is 'Spring'. I have been sifting through my old Tildas and stamped up Tilda with Three Flowers and masked her onto a Watering Can. She has been coloured with Copics and a few highlights have been added  with Prisma pencils. The papers are called 5th April and are from the Maja Vintage Spring collection.  The pretty butterflies at the top are a Tim Holtz on the edge die and I've added a few pearls  to them. Tucked behind them is a Cheery Lynn clock face die.  The fence and flourish leaves are Magnolia Doohickey dies. The butterlfies and corners I made using Martha Stewart Silicone moulds and Air Dry Clay.The flowers are WOC and after rooting through my charms box I found  a watering can and spade charm, although you can't see the spade very clearly in the picture. 


Copics List:
Skin: E21, 00, 000, 0000, R20
Hair: E49, 57, 55, 53, 50
Dress: V28, 25, 22, 20

LOTV James-Daisy

Good morning everyone,

I hope your week is off to a good start. I have spent the first couple of days crafting, trying to catch up as I have a few things going on behind  the scenes that I can't share with you yet,and I've been making  few commissioned cards too hence why I haven't been posting much as time has been running away with me. Tomorrow I have to start getting a few chores done, now I can't spend all day in my craft room can I??

Today I am sharing a card made using an LOTV stamp called James-Daisy,  he is a real cutie. I have used Copics and Prisma pencils to colour him. I was a very lucky mum and received a new Tim Holtz die (torn notebook) for Mother's day which I have used at the top of the card and covered with a little Frantage. The swirl is a Magnolia Doohicky die.  The butterflies I made with a Martha Stewart Silicone Mould and Air Dry Clay and added a touch of Distress Ink around the edges.  Most of the flowers are from the Ribbon girl. The Hinge clip is by Tim Holtz which I covered in Frantage. The sentiment is a Whimsy stamp.


Copics List:
Bear: E35, 31, 53, 50
Grass: YG99, 97, 95, 93
Flower: R59, 56, RV34, 32

Pencils: Light Umber, Sienna Brown, Burnt Ochre, Dark Umber, Black

I hope you all he a lovely week.

Take care.
