New Challenge #190 at Glitter N Sparkle

Hi,

Well as you all know I've been finishing off my College course
and had a few exams over the last couple of weeks
but now I'm finally finished.
I've completed my AAT Level 2 Bookkeeping and Accounting,
and looking forward to September when I start my Level 3.
In the mean time I am now starting to look for work
(which is a scary thought after not being able to work for so long)..

The Theme at

week is:-

Skirt of Flowers Digi Stamp

from A Day For Daisies

(One of our sponsors)

To begin with I used Polkadot Embossed White Rectangle Card Card

(stash)

on which I used a 5mm Corner Punch
(X-Cut)
to round off the corners.

Next I printed off the Image

on White DC Paper

And coloured it in using my Promarker Pens.

Satin
Putty
Sunkissed Pink

Primrose

Buttercup
Lemon
Sunflower

Filling her Dress in with Crystal Glamour Dust
(Deco Art)

I then used an Embossing Folder Swirls
(X-Cut XCU515125)
around the Image and trimmed,
and again used the 5mm Corner Punch.
I then backed it with Pearlised Pastel Yellow Card
(Ross Papers)
and trimmed the corners of that as well.

Along the Left Side of the card I used some 
2cm Verigated Glitter Yellow Organza

(Kanban - Glitz Ribbon)

end.

For the Sentiment I used the
'Youth is a Gift' Clear Stamp

(Acid Drops & Whatnots)

with Tuxedo Black Ink
(Momento)
which I placed on the card with a bump in the middle,
so it looks like a ribbon.

Around the Top Right Corner
I placed 1 Medium White Paper Rose
and 2 Small Yellow Paper Roses 

(Craft)

end.

Finally following the Polkadots on the Base Card,
I added 2mm Pastel Yellow Pearls

(Anita's)

along the left side of the Card,
and across the corner on the Bottom Right.

New Challenge #187 at Glitter N Sparkle

Hello All,

Well I'm glad to say the sun has been out occasionally
recently so I managed to get the front garden sorted.
Well OK, I kind of stood around and informed the 
other half he had to do all the weeding and hard stuff.
I did pick the litter up if that counts hehe.

Well next week will probably be a rather hectic one,
as my Partners Sister is getting Married 
and I'm a Bridesmaid.
no doubt I will fill you in after the event next week.

My Project this

week is:-

Jessica b. Giggles Digi Stamp

from Oddball Art

(One of our sponsors)

To begin with I used part of a Template from a Box,
'I Support You'

(My Time Made Easy - Lauren Meader)

Of which I just used the Lid Top and the Decorate Inlay Templates.
(But I used a Heart for the Insert cutout rather than the Oval).

Firstly I cut out 2 of the Lid Tops.
1 in White Card and 1 in Pale Pink Card

(both from stash)

I then affixed them together at the Top of the Card 
and made 2x 6.5cm Long Rectangles 
(folded in Half) from the spare White Card
and attached them at the Bottom so the Card could stand up.

Secondly I printed off a copy of the Backing Paper 
which came with the 'I Support You' Pack.
and I used it to cut out the Decorative Inlay Template.
I then went around all the edges with Iridescent Pastel Pink Glitter.
(Glitter Magic)

Next I printed off the Image

on White DC Paper

And coloured it in using my Promarker Pens.

Satin
Blush
Putty
Sunkissed Pink
Coral
Pale Pink
Dusky Rose
Antique Pink
Carmine

Cyan
Sandstone
Cinnamon
Cocoa

Chestnut

For the Sentiment I used one of the Verses 
which came with the 'I Support You' Pack,
(It is actually the same words that are on the Backing Paper but in a Verse.)
I Cut it out using a Scalloped Oval Die
(X-Cut - XCU503406)
and I went around the edge using my Pale Pink Promarker.
Then I attached it to the Back of the Base Card.

For Decoration I first added a Strip of
22mm Pale Pink with Hearts Satin Ribbon.
On top of that I placed a Handmade Bow,
made from 15mm Cerise Pink Satin Ribbon.

(both from Boyes Haberdashery)

To finish it off I added a medium sized
Pale Pink Paper Rose.

(Papermania)

Finally I added 6mm AB Pale Pink Pearls

(stash)

3 to each of the Card Ribbon Ends.

New Challenge #186 at Glitter N Sparkle

Hi,

Well its been a good week,
if not a bit wet and cold outside.
Really hope that the weather picks up soon,
as its getting to dreary to do anything exciting.

I would really like to thank Sue from Ike's Art this week,
for stepping in as a Sponsor for us on such short notice.
It is really appreciated Sue by me and all the Girls.

I also used an Electric Blue Gel Pen.

I cut the Images out using the 
Shape of the Card as a Template.
On the Second Background I lined up where the
front of the Card was going and then cut out 
the Side Pieces so that they lined up with it.
(so when you look at the Card they flow into each other.

I then added Glossy Accents

(Ranger)

to both pairs of Boots, the Light Sabre,
Sleya's Belt and Hanz's Belt Buckle.

Finally I added Silver Bobble Peel-Off  Strips
(stash)
around the edge of all the Pictures.
