First Holy Communion Card

Just wanted to share the First Communion Card I made for my God-daughter.  I used a Precious Moment image and coloured with pencils, added some stickles to the hair bows and added some shading.  Did a slight overhang on the right of the card just to add something a little different in the shape.  Used Papermania sheer ribbon also.  I mounted the image on pearlescent cardstock so there is an extra sheen to the card.

Supplies: White Pearlescent Cardstock, precious moments image, colouring pencils, 

Stickles, computer generated greeting, Papermania white sheer ribbon, 

Spellbinders Labels 8 nesties and pop dots.

Thanks for peeking and stopping by.  Hope you have a blessed day.

Mami Doodles New digital stamps released - Bugs and Kisses!

Where do the week's go?  Today is Friday so that means new stamps from Mami Doodles.  Yipee.... what beauties they are too... so much fun to play with.

Meet "Escargot et Champignon" - Vera requested Elisa to create this little guy.  There are 3 images in total in the kit and it is available here.

Here is what I created with our new friend!.

 

I created a computer generated sentiment using Rosewood Std font and others which I unable to find now!.  I merged a freebie image that Elisa has on her blog called "ladybird" with our new friend and hey presto... an "in the garden" scene.

I coloured the image with copics, used my curved rectangles by spellbinders to cut and emboss the image with a slight overhang on the left side.  Added a handmade fimo button I made and some ribbon.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you will stop by the rest of the DT to see their work or visit Mami Doodles blog here for the release and a challenge.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend and maybe you will find time to play along with the 2nd Mami Doodles Challenge this week.

Paperplay - "Pretty Pastels"

 

This is my DT card for this week's Paperplay Challenge which is set by Mandy.  It is very kindly sponsored by Cardmad Fairy.  She wants us to use "pretty Pastels" and gave us this fun digi called "All Dressed Up" to play with.  I intitally coloured her and then couldn't find matching pastel paper in my stash, so I printed the image on pp and paper pieced her instead adding gems to the flower centres on her dress.

I used a pale pink pp for her dress with co-ordinating paper on the background by Daisy & Dandelion - "Some bunny loves you range".   I added a sentiment from Papermania printed in silver saying "Lots of Love".  Could use it for Mother's Day, Birthday, Sister's Birthday.... love the image.

Thanks so much for peeking.  Hope you will get a chance to play along with Paperplay this week.

Free digi on The Greeting Farm

Dear Friends - Good Morning.  A very quick post today.... just to say "hi" and thanks again for all your votes and support.  We came second in The Royal Battle...woohoo ... go Dream Team.  We are thrilled.  As a thank you to all voters/supporters of the battle - Marie in The Greeting Farm has a freebie digi - "Chibi Bunny" for today only.  Be sure to check it out here while it's available.

Above is a card I made with a stamped image that Fika very kindly sent to me at the beginning of the 5 weeks - so I would have some images to use in the challenges (as my supply was quite limited!) but this is now to be rectified with The Greeting Farm prize we have won.... woot woot... thanks Marie.

I adore this little "deer" from the Forest Friends set and the sentiment is so fun.  It is available here.

Thanks so much for peeking... and don't forget about that freebie here.  Happy Wednesday.

April CCC

This is the card I made for Deborah's April Card Chain Challenge (CCC).  I try to participate each month as it is so much fun getting a card from somewhere in the world and sending a card to someone (normally not in the same country as you).  This month I got to send one to Corey in the USA.    I used a Pure Innocence digital image by Heather Ellis.  I just love these images.  I played around with some colour pencils, sansodor (gamsol) and a paper stub!!! so fun as it was my first time trying it.  Will need to practice quite a bit I think!!!  Added glossy accents to the mail box, a fimo button which I had made recently and my new MS lace punch.

This month the template was this (Deborah also provides a colour swatch or theme that you can use... but I went for the template!).

and I made this....

Can't understand why the colour/contrast in the photo isn't so great.  Will try and retake and post it again.

I also want to share the beautiful card that I received from the super talented Sally.  Last month I sent Sally a card for the March CCC, so it was so fun receiving one from Sally this month.  Sally worked on the sketch/template too.

Be sure to keep an eye here for the next month's sign up if you want to play along.  Thanks for peeking.

I want to give a HUGE shout out and THANK YOU to all supporters of the Dream Team that have helped us on our way over the past five weeks.  It has been quite a journey!!! and Kathy, Fika and I had a wonderful time.  The last 24 hours of the Battle was absolute nail biting stuff and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your help, support and encouragement.

Hope you have a great day.
