Paperplay - "Happy Shiny People"

This week's Paperplay Challenge is set by Julie.  It is to use a "person" stamp/image, but it must have gloss, shimmer or sparkle on it. This week's challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp.  So to be in with a chance to win $15 store credit from this wonderful Company be sure to take part in the challenge this week.

I incorporated the "sparkle" in the gems on the top of the crown cardbase.  I also added glossy accents to his boots after I took the photo - will try and upload a fresh one later today.  I used the digital image - Prince Ian from The Greeting Farm, I found a crown template online, cut out on cardstock, used some machine stitching to adhere two bands of red cardstock to the crown.  Coloured Ian with copics, and used a strip of acetate to have him dangling in front of the card.  The sentiment is printed using a font called CK Newsclips.  A freebie font available here.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you will play along with Paperplay this week.

Card share and some free digi images!

This is a card I made with Gerry Giraffe - one of Jane's wonderful digital images available here.  I used recycling packaging for the background.  It is from a Chatterbox canvas album I bought before Christmas.  I used a wooden star and handwrote the sentiment.  Blue grid pp from Making Memories.  Also added some glitter on his "spots" so I am entering it into Lucy's glitter challenge here.  I coloured him with copics .. of course!!!

The Greeting Farm ran a relay this week that I didn't spot until Wed. so I was too late to participate.  You can pick up a freebie over there by clicking here for Prince Ian and here for Mer Ian.

They are doing sneak peeks going on over on Club Anya - be sure to check them out before release date on the 1st Feb.

The above card is using the digital image - "bug in a jar" from Bugaboo Stamps.  Jodie very kindly sent it to me as I was in the first 25 to submit cards to the Bugaboo Gallery. Thank you Jodie. 

Paula over on Tales of Pollycraft is launching a new range of images - Lilybean Fairies on the 4th February and is giving away the previewed image to a random commenter each day until then.  Her image today is Clover ~ butterfly wishes and it is just stunning.  I used Paula's freebie from last Friday - SENTIMENTS to add the sentiment oval on the above card.

Don't forget that Jodie, Bugaboo Stamps does free images on Fridays too.  The card above is using the freebie from last week.  She kindly has TWO images on the site today - go check them out here.  I matted  MME Spring papers using Spellbinders Labels 1 and some embroidery floss.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
