Flower Picking

Hey everyone I'm here today with some inspiration for you :-)

Did I tell you how much I adore these images and how beautiful they are to colour.  I chose to work with the fantastic Flower Picking digi for my card and she is available here.

After the dull and dark February days I thought it would be nice to see some brightness so I decided to go with some bright and zingy citrus colours to remind us that Spring is on the way soon.  I've used a paper pad from Lili of the Valley although unfortunately I don't think they stock them any more.

My image is coloured with Copics to match my papers and I've matted all my layers onto bright orange cardstock to make them stand out a bit more.  I know there probably isn't such a thing as a pink and orange mushroom (or at least I've never seen one) but I love the fact that crafting gives you artistic licence to colour anything any way you like!

I've die cut various flowers and leaves and embellished the centres with adhesive pearls and added my sentiment to finish off.

We have a couple of challenges running at the moment, both on the blog and on the Facebook page so be sure to join in for your chance of winning some fab digis from the store.

Have a great day

Flying Bunny Birthday - Sasayaki Glitter Inspiration

Hello everyone and happy Friday!

Today I am showcasing the fabulous Flying Bunny digi from Sasayaki Glitter which I have used to make a cute pink and grey birthday card.  She is available to buy here in the Etsy store, along with lots of other gorgeous digis that you won't be able to resist!

I'm a sucker for lots of layers on my cards and this is no exception so I sat and played with various bits of paper until I was happy with my layout before colouring my bunny in with Copics.  I've added some polka dots to the balloon with a white gel pen and then I've fussy cut her before mounting onto my card with foam pads for a bit of extra dimension.

I've die cut a couple of clouds from white glittery cardstock (although this doesn't show up very well on the photo) and added a button and some pearls and ribbon to embellish.

If you haven't already, join our Facebook Group here where we have monthly challenges and fab freebies.

That's all from me today, I hope you all have a wonderful Friday and a lovely weekend.

Sasayaki Glitter 1st Blog Challenge - Love

Hi everyone

I'm excited to announce our very first Blog Challenge over at Sasayaki Glitter and the theme is 'LOVE', very appropriate with Valentines Day fast approaching.

If you haven't already checked out these fab stamps pop over to the Etsy Store and join us in our fab Facebook Group here where we will also be running another challenge later in the month.

For my card I've used the fantastic Kitty Family digi which is available here which I have coloured with Copics.

I've used loads of scraps of various black and white papers from my leftovers box and matted them all onto hot pink cardstock and tucked in various die cut hearts and circles randomly!

To finish I've embellished with buttons and faux stitching.

We would love to see your creations so please do pop over and join in.  There is also a fab freebie available in the FB group.

Hugs

Sasayaki Glitter New Release

Hey there everyone I hope you have had a fantastic weekend!

I am excited to show you a couple of new cards today made with some of the gorgeous new releases at Sasayaki Glitter.  These really are beautiful to colour and the designs are just beautiful.  Be sure to pop over to the shop and grab yourself one...or more!

My first card is made using the cute Heart Balloons digi which is available to buy here.  I've coloured her in with Copics and added some Crystal Glamour Dust to the clouds.

I'm sick of winter now so thought I would use some lovely bright Spring colours for my card using papers from the Brand new Echo Park Spring paper pad.  As always I've used lots of layers and have matted each panel onto some candy pink cardstock.

I've added some die cut clouds which have been embossed with polka dots and I've also punched out some butterflies to keep in with the Spring theme.

My next card is a one layer card which is virtually unheard of for me lol!  I think this image is just so beautiful that she stands perfectly on her own.  This is A Gift for You and she is available here.

I've also coloured her with copics and mounted her onto a scalloped edge card using foam tape for a bit of dimension.  I've then added a couple of pearls and a sentiment and voila!

Please pop over to our Facebook Page where you can share your beautiful creations using Sasayaki Glitter stamps and where we will be starting a new Challenge in February.

That's all from me for today.  Wishing you all a wonderful Monday
