Nice to 'pleat' you!

Another day and another Tilda...

I know, i know, Minxy and Tilda don't usually go, but i seem to have grown a very tiny soft spot for her lately! This 'Cupid Tilda' in particular is super cute, i've coloured her with my new Polychromos {pencils by faber-castell} which i have to say are just fabby, and make a nice change from the copics, they have a lovely softness about them and blend well too.

As i had coloured a Tilda i decided to join in with the Special monthly

Just Magnolia challenge, the theme 'Paper Pleating',

For this i used some old book pages and then inked the edges to make them more visible,

I pleated in a curve to create a circle to follow the

fab sketch provided by this weeks Allsorts #34 Challenge

The papers are MME and CC and the flowers are from my stash.

Thanks for taking the time to come see my card, leave a comment so i know you came by :)

Non Tradish Christmas Sugar!

I finally got around to getting sticky again in

the Sugar Bowl

and this time the fabulous Marlene provided the sketch

with the added prompt to use 'Zig Zags'

Again i've used the ever so lovely sugar nellie 'Peace Angel' by Diane Duda coloured with my lyra crayons and a water brush.

The papers are a mix of BG and CC with an embossed snowflake panel and some corrugated card.. all of which i distressed the edges and inked with aged mahogany DI.

This also fits in with

Papertake Weekly 'Christmas Crackers'

Creative Card Crew 'Favourite Things'

{my sugar nellie stamps}

Allsorts 'Christmas carol or song title'

{Angels from the realms of glory!}

Thanks for looking

Sugar & Spice...NOT!

Ok.. so i'm way later than i wanted to be with this post.. the joys of a working life!!!! I finally have a couple of well earned days off.. so can finally share the card i made on Saturday!!

I managed a whopping 6 challenges with this card

Totally Gorjuss 'Bling'

Allsorts 'Bling'

Stamp Scrap & Doodle 'Special Folds'

Create 4 Fun 'The Sketch'

One Stop Craft 'Cards for Kids'

Secret Crafter 'An Easel Card'

The pic doesn't do it justice really.. but it was the best out of i don't know how many i tryed to take and in the end gave up.. maybe i'll try one more time later if the sun decides to come out {highly unlikely}

I used an assortment of papers including BG, DCWV and one i created myself using the houndstooth background stamp from Artistic Stamper... I gave gorjuss some padded wings and used one of my own design skull stamps to embellish along with some yummy paper roses.. oh and of course lots and lots of bling'y gems!

Don't forget today is the last day to enter my candy!
