Mermaid flower card

I just love this La la land crafts stamp of  mermaid Marci. It is always so much fun to colour in and create with her. I did this card for a friend who was leaving and she loves wearing flowers in her hair. The base card is from a pink pack by Kaszazz. I embossed the white card on the cuttlebug to create the frame. The mermaid is cut out and stuck down. (I think) The writing is just mine. The flower is created using retro daisy punches, spritz them with water (not too much) and then using tweezers, curl them into the centre of each petal. This gives 'sausage' type rolls of each petal. When you've done 3 large and 2 medium , then you're ready to build the flower. Finish it off with a diamante or some enamel accents.
The image was coloured in with Tria markers.
Hope you enjoyed and are feeling inspired to create !
Take care

Magical castle Card

 

When I got this great castle stamp, I had no idea how I was going to use it! This card just evolved over time. I coloured in the castle using Tria markers, the ivy, which is a separate Kaszazz stamp and the little front mushroom were all in tria markers. I then used the brick embossing folder for the cuttlebug and created a texture behind. The word " magical moments' is a kaszazz stamp.
Once all the elements of this card were all together, I added sparkle using ice stickles so that it gave it a more magical feeling. I think the challenge we face with some stamps is to see how many ways we can use them. Do you have a stamp that you're not sure you know what to do with?? Why don't you share and lets see if we can come up with some suggestions.
Well, I hope you have a magical week filled with sparkle.
Take care

You are fabulous...

I just love this fairy image! She is from Whimsy stamps and called 'Silver Fairy'. It's definitely one of my favourites. There are several layers to this card. I used Kaszazz shield die for the craft colour background, the circle punch for the moon and a memory box die for the dandelion type image, which is actually called Chloe Stem. The grass die is also from memory box. They make great dies which come in handy little envelopes to store them in too. I coloured the image in using Tria markers and highlighted certain parts using Ice stickles. I used distress inks to colour the chloe stem and the shield. I then just layered them all together on a white card with the words "you are fabulous" , which is a mini messages stamp from Kaszazz.
Had a lot of fun creating this card. So, my challenge to you is, create a card using several layers which creates a bit of a scene . (and I do mean landscape- not a dramatic event!! )
Hope you are having a creative week.
Take care

Just for you..

 

 

I created this card on Kaszazz cardstock. The stamp is from La la land crafts - Dress up Marci. I coloured it in using tria markers. The stamp , ribbon and embellishment is also from Kaszazz. I put some highlights onto Marci's beads and flower using glossy accents.
I love the La la land crafts stamps, they are so filled with character- I think I need to increase my supply of these!!
Have a happy day!

Fairy Moon card

I love fairies and angels- so I really enjoyed putting this card together.The base card is ivory. The background has got to be one of the easiest backgrounds to do. I used the Kaszazz masking tape and just layered various designs across and cut it off. Easy. You can leave a gap in the design and stamp a small happy birthday repeatedly to also add to the effect.
I then stamped this gorgeous fairy stamp- the name of it eludes me- so if you know, please let me know so I can acknowledge the creator. I coloured it using tria markers- which I love. I then cut out a circle and did a light blend of gray and purple on the moon for effect.
Quite a simple card really, but really enjoyable to make.
Happy crafting.x
