Sunday Challenge - Charms

Juliet set the challenge today on Dottie's World and she wanted to see something dangly on the cards (snigger), such as a charm, as well as a Charmed download.

I used Madison on the Beach, from Holly & Madison's World Tour, as well as Mikey from the new collection (download button in side bar).

My dangly charm is a Marion & Me "Beach Babe" charm, which I hung from a Tim Holtz Swivel Clasp.


The sentiment is a mixture of stickers and rub-ons:

Some of the other products used:
Basic Grey Porcelain Paper
K&Co Que Sera Sera Note card
Nestabilities die
Martha Stewart Zig Zag punch
Prima flower dotted to make it look like drops of water
Marion & Me Metal heart corner
Tim Holtz ink
Various pearls, crystals and brads
The images were coloured in with Copic markers

Pop over to Dottie's World and join the challenge :-)

TFL and have a great Sunday ♥

Copic Colour Challenge

It's Wednesday and that means Copic Colour Challenge. I had to use one of the new Charmed Delectable stamps, in fact two of the stamps: Annie sitting Pretty and the Accessory stamp Tree Stump with Bluebells.


Here are the Copic colours we had to use this week:

I layered K&Co papers and edged with a K&Co border (Cut 'n Paste). Pearls were coloured with a green marker pen. Branches are cut with two McGill punches.




Pop over to the Copic Challenge blog and see what amazing creations the other DT members have come up with.

Charmed Delectable Stamps....

The wonderful range of Charmed Delectable Stamps are now available to purchase individually. Here is just one of our new stamps: Irresistible Annie:

I am actually showing this card on the Delectable blog and Dottie's World too so if you have seen it before I apologise.

The paper is from the K&Co Que Sera Sera pad. Embellishments are also mostly K&Co and the frame was cut on my Silhouette. Annie was coloured in with Copic markers.

TFL and have a great Bank Holiday Monday x

Inspiration Challenge....

Sunday can mean only one thing: time for another challenge on Dottie's World. This time the lovely Louise set the challenge and she chose for us to gain inspiration from a dreamy picture.

I loved this picture so much that I decided to use it in full on my card. It's a very simple card using just the picture, a few swirls, Madison in Venice (from the Holly & Madison's World Tour collection), a bit of multi-coloured ribbon and some pearls and rhinestones, with a doodled border.

I used Copics to colour in Madison. Picking a colour from the dreamy inspiration picture I coloured in the edge of my card and drew shadows around the swirls. The lettering on the inspiration photo was added on the computer.

Pop over the Dottie's World and see the wonderful ways the DT used the inspiration, it's amazing how we all differ.

Thanks for looking. Have a lovely Sunday ♥

Sunday Challenge

Today is was the lovely Adele's turn to set the challenge on Dottie's World. Super challenge it is too, and perfect for the release of our new Mikey digi-stamps. The challenge is "Teenager", something for a teenager using one of our downloads. I had to use Mikey of course and here he is chillin'



The large circles are meant to represent vinyls/CD's. Basic Grey paper, K&Co "Rock Star" chipboard (which I coloured a tangy orange where it was pink).

Pop over to Dottie's World and see the amazing creations by the DT members (blinkie in side bar).

Thanks for looking and have a lovely Sunday ♥♥

Key to my heart...

What a gloomy Saturday it is, absolutely perfect weather for staying indoors and getting inked up :-) Our new stamps should be arriving next week, and it will be absolutely thrilling to see them in the flesh. In the meantime Louise Brigden and I have been showcasing the stamps on our new blog "Charmed Delectable Stamps" to whet the appetite. Here is a card using the adorable Annie & Ted stamp.

I love these metal keys by K&Co. They are from the new Life's Journey collection (as opposed to the old from from about 5 years ago) and just like antique real keys. The flower is Prima.

I used K&Co Que Sera Sera paper for the background, and a Que Sera Sera notepad sheet for the centre. The butterfly is also Que Sera Sera and I decorated it with a few pearls. Ribbon is We are Memory Keepers. Annie and Ted were coloured in with Copic markers.
I really hope we are going to be seeing our Annie stamps as part of glorious projects all over the Web. :-)

Thanks for visiting xx

Copic Colour Challenge

Time for another Copic Colour Challenge. This was a really tight squeeze for me butI managed to do this card in under an hour. Believe me when I say that is quick for me, I'm not a quick crafter! I'm really really happy with it though.

Juliet chose the colours for the challenge this week, and these were it:

I coloured the main image, a Sugar Nellie stamp, with these and coordinating colours. The flowers are white sheer Maya Road flowers, which I coloured with RV34 and then doodled a little on with a white pen. Spellbinders Nestabilities and Borderbilities dies used here, papers are K&Co Cut 'n Paste, Basic Grey Lilykate (Celery) and ATC plain cardstock.

I used a little gold charm to hang from the brad in the centre of the flower.

... and these were my colours used:

Looks a lot but then I used the three yellow/orange pens just for the little chick! LOL

Teenage Card

Teenagers aren't the easiest people in the world to create for, and teenage boys must be amongst the hardest. The new download collection by Louise Brigden soon to be released at Charmed Cards & Crafts will surely cater for this area of concern, plus most of the images would be great on a girlie card too- perhaps together with images from the Holly & Madison collections. The new collection features Mikey, boyfriend to Madison (& Holly I expect).

On this card I layered the image on several mats cut out with Nestabilities Label Three dies. I tried to make the smaller patches at the back look like jean pockets. All the chipboard is by Rusty Pickle, the stars were coloured with my Copics, and the rest inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink "broken china". The ink was also used for inking all the edges on everything else. The dotted paper is K&Co Broken China. I didn't realise both were "Broken China" until just now LOL

The sentiment "Cool" was created in MS Word using Word Art.

There are some great images in the new bundle, you'll love it!!

TFL ♥♥
