Let's Crop

Hello everyone.  It's a dreary dull day here in Perthshire,  the sun has got lost yet again. He keeps teasing us with 2 gorgeous days, then goes again to heaven only knows where!!

I have made a few cards lately, so I would like to show you this one, 

with a free image from Simply B Stamps

We had to use the image, the sentiment and make splatters on the card.  I have done everything as requested!!  I used Cosmic Shimmer and a brush to make the splatters.  The papers are really old, so I am happy to be using up some stash.  I'm afraid I don't have any details for the other items 

I have used, they were all nameless in boxes.

I am entering this card into the following challenges

Crafting from the Heart #64 Anything Goes

Crafty Girlz Challenges # 3 Anything Goes
Through the Craftroom Door   Anything Goes June 16-20

That's all for now,  more cards need to be made!  Thanks for stopping!!

Mr Tea

This is my card for the Progressive Challenge Part 2 

over at the Rick St. Dennis Blog 

Sparkle and Glitter With Rick

You can find this funny wee image here  Mr Tea 

 I spent a lot of time trying to colour the cat to look like fur,

 but I think I need more practice!!

This image was very good for me, as I love tea and drink cups

 and cups of it throughout the day.

I mounted the image onto green card, and decorated the base

 with green  card, and pink paper. 

 The paper actually has teapots and cups on it,

 but you can't really see it.

I fussy cut out cups and cupcakes to finish it off, as tea is always better with a wee cake!!  thanks for having a wee look at my blog, please leave a message so as I know you have been here.  thank you and see you soon!!

Haute Couture

Sorry, I have been Missing in Action lately.  I seem to have so much going on at the moment! It is quite scary.  I have slotted in a bit of time for a bit of blogging and also some colouring hopefully.

This image is called Haute Couture, and is another of Rick St. Dennis' Digital Images.  Isn't she glamorous?  Here is the link on Zibbett if you want to find her.

Haute Couture

I decorated the card using very old paper from a Hot of the Press pad.  I added ribbon and gems, and the flowers and silver corners are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  This is actually one of the images I coloured when I was on holiday.  Oh memories!!  I am now going to upload this to the Rick St Dennis page on Facebook.  I have another card to upload tomorrow, when hopefully I will get more time.

Have fun crafting and thanks for stopping for a look.  Please leave a comment to let me know you have paid a visit.

Ballgown in The Parisien Style

Hello bloggers, I m back from my wonderful holiday in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt.  I'm all nice and brown and relaxed so I'm a happy bunny!

Here is another card showing an image from Rick St. Dennis

This is where you can find her.

 I used Polychromo pencils to colour her and actually did this on holiday.  Sitting on a sunbed, with my box of pencils beside me, and a cool drink within reach. - bliss!!

Here are a couple of close-ups.  

The one above shows the detail on the upper part of her body.

 I used my favourite colour (blue) to colour her dress. 

 I decided to give her blue eyes too!

This photo shows the flowers I used.  They are all from Wild Orchid Crafts. 

 The metal embellishment,  lace, gems and card were from my stash.

 Here I am on my sunbed with my two favourite pool attendants Ahmed and Billy.  Seems like a long time go!!  I'll just have to put up with the horrible Scottish weather now.

Volupte for Rick St. Dennis Facebook Elite Design Team

Hello and thank you for coming to look at my blog. 

This is my first card for the Rick St Dennis Elite Facebook Design Team.  

I fell in love with this image when I saw it on someone else's  card!  

She is a very lovely lady.

She is called Volupte and can be found

The papers were from My Mind's Eye - Lost and Found collection

 Here are a couple of close-ups.  The brooch and gems were from Bo Bunny.

The sentiment was also from Bo Bunny from the Prairie Chic collection

 

Here is a close up of the lady herself.  Wish I had her figure! lol!!!

The white sprigs and green roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  

Burgundy flowers, ribbon, diamante and lace are from my stash.

Happy Dance

Rhoda is doing a Happy Dance today!!!  I have just found out that I have been selected to be a Design Team Member for Rick St. Dennis!!!!!!!!!!!!  this is something that has been on my bucket list for ages, and now I can score it off!!  I am so happy today, going around with a big cheesy grin on my face!!

I had to submit 2 cards, one was on my last post here called Valentine Hat and also this card below

This card is not my usual style, but it was fun to do something different and broaden my talents (hopefully) 

I can't wait to get started on my first design.

I'm going now to do more colouring and finish off some New Baby  cards I am working on.

Thank you for coming by my blog, it would be lovely if you could leave a wee comment.  that way, I can visit your blog too!  Take care now

Valentine Hat

Hello from a very sunny Perthshire.  We are having lovely weather at the moment, it's almost too good to be true!  I'm just hoping it lasts a while.

 It's lovely to hear the birds singing and lawnmowers buzzing away!

I have just finished this card and wanted to enter it in a couple of challenges. 

The image is from Rick St. Dennis and you can find it here  Valentine Hat

Rick St. Dennis has images in various forms.  From Beautiful ladies

 to vampires and skulls!  Lots of choice there for you.

I'm still practicing my hair, but I am happy with the way this one turned out.  

I added little crochet flowers from Prima and a wee wooden birdcage which I bought in a pack of 4 in a book shop for £1!!!! Such a bargain I wish I had bought more than one pack though!

I am entering this card in the following challenges
