Malice ~ always and forever

Just the title makes you think of nasty things that could be just around the corner.  I just had to colour up this stunning newish image from Delicious Doodles, yes I'm on Teri's Design Team but I couldn't wait to post her so she's not a DT inspiration card, although I do hope you find inspiration with her.

I kept the colours fairly simple in Black, Gold and Red, her sword is coated in gloss so it really shines, her nails and lips are all lipstick spica and there is gold spica patterns in her eyes.  She brings to mind one of those glamourous  amazon fighting women or a warrior princess!  She is stunning and I loved colouring her.

Skin:  E000, 01, 11 R20, 
Eyes: Y26 & 28

Vampire Luka

Hi there, I hope your weekend is going well, nearly over here, I didn't win the lotto last night so I guess I have to go back to work tomorrow!  Oh to be able to retire early and .....(dream on)

I have had some time to craft for fun to day!  That doesn't happen often for me lately, but I've finished all the wedding invitations and made a Guest Book.  The Bouquets are nearly finished just the ribbon to go now.  Buttonholes are done and I'm just waiting on some info from the Hairdresser as to how she wants the flowers mounted for the hairstyle.  Months away yet, but at least those jobs are out of the way.

On to my little card I was inspired by the sketch at Crazy 4 Challenges and then found a number of other challenges that were perfect for this little fella.

Isn't he so cute?  I had these teardrop bling and thought that I'd colour one up for his cravat decoration as the image was oval not round, I chose red then while I was putting it there realised it looked like a drop of blood!  LOL  He's a bit too cute for lots of blood and gore.

Copics used 
Skin:  E50, E51, E53 & E93
Hair:  E30, E50, E53, E55 & E57

PLG Inspiration Photo #29

Welcome to a new inspiration photo challenge with the Paper Lovin' Gals.

 These tulips are just so lovely such a pretty coral colour.  The inspiration for me was flowers and the gorgeous colour and colour I did!  I coloured this new digi Tutu Sweet from Meljens Designs.  She's totally sweet.  

This little sweetie is also going into the following challenges.

Copic Oz has a fabulous flowers challenge this month, I've already got one card in, but had to post this one as well.

Fussy and Fancy have asked for Dies and Punches in their current challenge, so I cut two frames from Calypso Coral SU card using my Spellbinders labels 24 Nesties and linked them together to create this flower like frame for Tutu Sweet.

Queen of Hearts

When I think of the Queen of Hearts, I usually think Alice in Wonderland, or even Jules from Always With a Heart!  Saturated Canary has this fabulous digi called Queen of Hearts and I put her together with this sketch from Fussy and Fancy.

I've used shimmer mist on the gray card stock and a Mather Stewart heart border punch as well as the Stampin' Up pinking hearts corner punch, then I punched out a few hearts and stuck them on the white card to make the background paper.  I even found some heart shaped rhinestones and chipboard which I covered with stickles just to add some more bling!  There is also lots and lots of spica on the image.

Stockings and cane:- C5, C7, 100
Hair:-  E40, E44, E21, E25, E71, E77

Black n White elegance

Just love the elegant look this card took on, I started with the sketch and thought black and white then it just grew from there, there is dry and heat embossing and lots of bling! In the photo above, you can just see a slight glimmer of the dazzling diamonds that I mixed with the clear embossing powder, I never use black embossing powder it's soooo unforgiving, I always stamp my image in black ink then clear emboss. Works a treat!





There is lots of texture in this card, I punched out 1 inch circles from embossed and shimmered whisper white and made the scalloped edge, then layered black which had been embossed and shimmered too, then why not add more bling wiht the square lattice embossed white on top! But wait, there's more.......bling for the accents on the butterflies and the bottom design element of the sketch.

Hope you like it as much as I do.

Back to blogging

Well it's only been a few days and I'm not sure how much I'll get done in the next two weeks, recouperating from surgery so I'm in the craft room for a short time, then on the couch then back to the craft room then bed. Just taking it easy really, as I feel better I'm sure I'll be creating and posting more.

This effort is for a few challenges.
Inkspirations Challenge ~ Sketch

Fussy and Fancy ~ Valentine with no red or pink

Play Date Cafe ~ Black White and Lilac or Purple (naturally I used both)

Early start to the day

I woke early today and the creative urge was still strong so I made a cuppa and headed off to the craft room! Yay lucky me, apart from some washing I have no urgent jobs waiting to be done the house got a spring clean a few days ago.... so I'm free for most of the day until I pick up my little cherub this afternoon. I think we'll go swimming, Danielle (my 2 1/2 year old grand daughter) LOVES the water, unfortunately we can all be shrivelled up like prunes and she doesn't want to get out so there is usually a lot of tears, a bit of squealing and a little bit of bribery!



This card is working to a sketch and a theme. I've used Going Grey CS (ret), Basic Black, Basic Grey, Whisper White. Riding Hood Red DSP from the christmas special pack and Riding Hood Red and Basic Grey Inks. I've clear embossed the heart to deepen the coulour. The stamps are Word Play, Always, Punch Potpourri. I've also added a ribbon and some bling which wasn't on the sketch but.....meh.....I took creative license!

Ohhhh, I think another cuppa is in order and oh gee.....I'm going to head on back into the Den of Creativity! I might just be back to post again today.
