Hula Love

Morning all. I’m feeling a bit sorry for myself today as after only about 3 weeks of feeling back to normal I’ve only gone and picked up another set of germs which are playing havoc with my sinus problems. So if you need me I’ll be shut in the Crafty Cupboard with a bowl of hot menthol steam lol.

Anyhoo, I’m here to share my card for the latest challenge over at the A Gem of a Challenge blog. This fortnight our theme is ‘Have a Heart’ and I’ve used the super cute Hula Hoop Chloe:

I loved the orangey/red & teal colours on these papers, so I sat down and a play with some different Copic combos and I am pretty please with the match to the papers.

And the hearts I have used are on the image and my little sparkly heart gem.

Supplies:

• Image: Hula Hoop Chloe from Pink Gem Designs 
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• Card: White Card, Kraft Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• DP: Tonic Studios 8x8 Paper Pad
• Dies & Punches: Nellie Snellen Pierced Circle Multiframe Dies, Go Kreate XXL Fancy Frames #7 Dies and an MS Border Punch
• Sentiment: From a Lili of the Valley

Fairy Heartfelt

Morning all! It’s Tuesday and that means one thing…… Tiddly Tuesday. Hurrah! Over at the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog we want to see your Tiddly makes using  ‘Fairies’.

I love fairies so much I spent an age deciding which image to use. Christy has so many wonderful fairies in her shop you’ll be spoilt for choice too. This is my make using Fairy Heartfelt:

I have had this paper in my stash a while, but haven’t used it until now. Truth be told I was a little disappointed with it, as the printing on the cover of the paper stack is a lot crisper than on the paper inside. Although the softer look seems to work well with this image, as I coloured it no-lines.

Supplies:

• Image: Fairy Heartfelt   by Tiddly Inks
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• Card: Orange Card, Black Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• DP: Tonic Studios
• Stamps: Teenage Girl sentiments from Lili of the Valley 
• Ink: VersaFine ‘Onyx Black’ Inkpad
• Dies & Punches: Go Kreate Large Circle Dies and Nellie Snellen Pierced Circle Multiframe dies 
• Embellishments: Doodling and pearls

Don’t forget to pop across to the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog to see all the fabulous inspiration from the rest of the girls.

Building Queen

Happy Tiddly Tuesday…..ugh I mean Wednesday !! I’m not quite sure where time is going this week but I think I am meeting myself coming back again.

A new challenge started yesterday over at the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog and this time our theme is ‘Scrap-It.

I really didn't know what to make for this challenge. I have never properly been a scrapbooker and my colouring journal pages just look like my normal cards, so I wanted it to at least look like a layout!

I’ve used a selections of pictures from last summer when my Dad and I built us a new shed and greenhouse and teamed it with the super cute Wryn Building Queen:

For a colour I’m not keen on, I seem to have used it quite a lot lately!!

Supplies:

• Image: Building Queen Wryn by Tiddly Inks
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• Card: Yellow Card, White Card, Kraft Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• DP: Tonic Studios ‘Simply Patterns’ Paper Pad
• Dies & Punches: Hobbycraft Small Heart Punch
• Embellishments: Doodling and Hobbycraft Alpha Stickers
