Moonlit Sleigh Ride Tag





This is my latest Christmas Tag, I have used an image that I bought about 4 years ago, that up until now I had not used, not even once. So! absolutely mortified! I am going to make an effort to rake more often to find the hidden wonders at the back of the cupboard.
I have coloured with my promarkers, sparkled up the stars with stickles, added a beautiful grey green flower with a purple star button. The mauve ribbon I have twisted and fixed like looped tassels and then used some under the flower and for fixing to the parcel.

Gorgeous Green Dragon with Butterfly by Meljens Designs

 

Don't you just love this adorable Dragon, and that cute little butterfly.

I have coloured this Meljens image with my Promarkers and have followed a sketch, the button is one that I saved from an old rattie cardie, that was evicted from the bottom drawer just the other day and the cardstock is a mixture of DCWV and Papermania.

Birdie Bunting from SquiggleStamps and cupcakes

This lovely stamped image is from Squiggle Stamps, it is called Birdie Bunting and is wonderful to colour and so effective when raised with a few 3d pads.

I have coloured with my Promarkers and have handstamped the best wishes with Brilliance Ink, the cupcakes on the stand is from a packet of diecuts that my mum in law kindly bought for me, they are all really glittery. Lovely!

I am entering this card into Squiggle Stamps Monthly Challenge which is currently to include a cupcake/cake somewhere on your card. To be a valid entry your main image must be a Squiggle Stamps and they have plenty to chose from, including the one above, which is one of the new releases. So what are you waiting for we all like a bit of the sweet stuff, even if is bad for the diet/purse!!

Hope you enjoyed popping over

Beautiful.

Evie's Birthday Card

Well I hope my soon to be 8yr old is going to like this card, I thoroughly enjoyed colouring it. This sugar nellie was coloured with my PMs and then I cut it out with my nestibilities eyelets circle. I popped a butterfly on her knee, edged with three different chalks and layered up following a sketch. Added a bit of bling here and there and voila all done.

Try it on Tuesday - Tag in Black Red and Cream

Quick little tag, for a friend of mine who loves puddy cats, I have used a Brilliance ink pad for stamping and have used a digi happy birthday circle, the fairies square at the top is a brad and I have used some gorgeous butterfly ribbon in two rows along the bottom of the tag.

I have edged the tag with black and coloured the circle sentiment in with PM's.Now I just have to make the card to go with the tag!
