Winter Girl dressed for Autumn

I love this Whiff of Joy girl (Lizzie with muff) and thought that I would try her with some autumnal colours. Image coloured with distress inks and distress stickles, all backing paper is K and Co, the sentiment is Craftwork Cards and I have used a swirly punch, Martha Stewart border punch and Stampin' Up! circle and scallop circle punches.
Flowers are Prima and I bought the little gold leaf charm YEARS ago from the Stampman.
The small leaves on the side are Lavinia stamps.
By the way, lovely blog candy on All the things I love.

Whiff of Joy Winter Girl - first attempt.

I've had a play with this lovely girl today. My background paper was a bit too grey, so I sprayed it with Frosty Night and Robin's Nest glimmer mists, plus a little Pearl.
The swirls were punched from acetate and sprayed with glimmer mist,and the snowflakes are punched with a Martha Stewart punch from card and acetate and sprinkled with glamour dust.
The flowers are Prima, and the brads and snowflake charm are from Hobby House.
I also used my Martha Stewart snowflake border punch and I coloured the image with Copic markers.

Another Whiff of Joy Card

Here is the final card I have made with the lovely images that Steph sent for our team challenge.
I have used So Saffron paper and card, Lavender Lace card
and the Simply Said stamp set from SU.

Flowers are from my stash and the sentiment is hand written.

Thank you Steph, I've really enjoyed using these lovely images.

Thanks for looking. x

Paper Beads

I made some paper beads for this card using Haiku DSP - Just cut long triangles from the paper, glue the edges and roll around a cocktail stick.
Image is one of the Whiff of Joy girls that Steph sent for our team challenge.
Papers - Stampin' Up! Haiku
Ink - Chocolate Chip
Stamps - Circle of Friendship and Baroque Motifs
Flowers - various from my flower stash.

Very frosty this morning, had a quick trip to Leeds to buy the beads to mix in with the paper beads, but we have glorious sunshine at the moment.

I'll have to get my thinking cap on this weekend - I have to try and design a costume for my son to be Flat Stanley at school next Thursday- mmmmmm not sure about how to do it at the moment.
Have a great weekend

Julie's Jems challenge by Steph

This is a challenge that the members of Julie's Jems (our SU group) are taking part in every fortnight. It was the brainchild of Sarah - thank you Sarah- who suggested that one member should send a pack of the same stash to all the other members and we would each make a card without knowing what the others were doing. Then we would all post our projects on our blog at an agreed time and date.
Steph sent us our pack this time - and what a gorgeous selection there was, including 3 stamped images to pick from, flowers, buttons, papers, cardstock and those cute little paper heart strips, plus a sentiment. Thank you Steph, there were some lovely things in there.
I coloured the image with SU inks and a SU blender pen, I made a backing for the sentiment using my Star Punch, then just added a brad to the flowers and some Kaiser gems.
It's been really good fun and I can't wait for the next little package to come through my door!
