Pickin' apples on a lazy Sunday morning.

Happy Sunday everyone, I hope you are all having a nice weekend so far. Well as promised I am back again with a new card for you all, I am really on a roll at the moment and I am enjoying my mojo whilst it has decided to grace me with it's presence! I am really enjoying using lots of different types of images at the moment and the freedom to experiment with different colour combos, don't you just think that stamping is the best hobby ever!

Copic Creations - Colouring Embellies ... I coloured my card candy



Materials

I dug out this oldie but oh so beautiful Sugar Nellie stamp to play with, I just love her and she melts my heart every time I look at her ..... such a perfect image. I have used an unusual colour combo for me but I was inspired by the beautiful colours in the BG wisteria pad which I was lucky enough to win as part of a recent challenge. Nikki from Bunny Zoe Crafts had it out to me straight away and I was able to get my hands on it within a couple of days - thanks for such a speedy service hun! Very little else to tell about my card apart from I coloured the card candy from Craftwork Cards with my copics and that's about it. No fuss with this card, I figured it did not really need anything else - sometimes less is more, don't you think!

Super delish papers and image - what's not to love!

Hi there, how has your day been? I am much, much better and have been at university today filling the gap between my ears full of knowledge, lol. I made this card last night and couldn't wait to get home today to post it because I lurve it sooooo much (isn't it fab when you like something you make yourself??!!). Tracy from Dies To Die For sent me these gorgeous My Minds Eye 'Lush' papers in aqua and it was love at first sight ..... I need more of these and in all colours I think, love, love, love them!!

Materials

Well, how lovely is this sweet Belles and Whistle stamp, I adore all Elizabeth Bell's work and this is no exception, such a pleasure to colour. Of course I have mentioned these delish papers already so make sure you check them out before I buy them all!!! Think I have a new addiction coming on, oh dear!! The flowers are from my stash and I think the large one was from Poppicrafts which I bought many moons ago - I livened it up a bit by punching the petal edges with my beloved MS Doily Lace Punch ... nice little touch I thought. Craftworks sentiment again and my papermania mosaic gems (am I so predictable, lol). The sparkly icing on the cupcake is from my lovely Spica pen that Tracy sent me (remember to store these flat ... as I found out!).
Expect to see these papers later in the week .... told you I was addicted. Have a lovely evening xxx

Bank Holiday Combo

Good morning, oooh isn't it lovely getting an extra day off work! Hope you are all enjoying your BH Monday.I have managed a little time to play along for fun and I have used this gorgeous stamp designed by the talented Elizabeth Bell - is she not just the most beautiful fairy. I love all her designs and was thrilled to find this one.
