New Challenge #200 at Glitter N Sparkle

Hi,

Ok so my Sister-In-Law has gone on her annual Summer Holidays,
and her middle child has decided he didn't want to go.
So yes you guessed it he has kindly decided to stay at mine.......

All I can say is that I am kind of glad the Kelly wanted to go home 
as she was missing her Mum to much.
but really I wish she was still here.

Now all I seem to have is a houseful of teenage boys,
well that's what it feels like with them in and out all the time.
Never been so happy to see my bedtimes,
where I can hide in my room and go slightly mad
LOL.

My Project this

week is:-

Funtime - Manga Digi Stamp

from Crafty Sentiments

(One of our sponsors)

To begin with I used a Handbag Template

(so sorry I'm not sure where it came from)

which I cut out twice from White Card.
(stash)

I then cut out 2 Bag Fronts
of White/Black Floral Paper

(Paper Cellar)

and I cut the Triangle Flap from
Pearlised Black Card.
(Ross Papers)

Next I printed off the Image

on White DC Paper

And coloured it in using my Promarker Pens.

Satin

Sunkissed Pink

Antique Pink
Bright Green
Cool Grey 1
Cool Grey 2
Cool Grey 3
Cool Grey 4
Cool Grey 5
Black

Next I Die-Cut 2 Ovals

(X-Cut - XCU129381)

One from White D/C Paper 
and a larger one from Pearlised Black Card.

I then using Tuxedo Black Ink

(stash)

I stamped the Sentiment on to the White Oval,
and on a Scrap of the White D/C Paper
I stamped the 'Shopping Bags'
both from  Winter Cheer - Shop Till You Drop
(SWALK - Crafter's Companion)

Then I fussy cut out the Bags and tucked them under the Image
so it looks like she is carrying them.

Next I added 5mm Black Satin with Silver Heart Ribbon

(Boyes Habedashery)

and placed it along both sides of the 'Handles'.

On the Flap I added 1x 10mm Crystal Dotted Rhinestone,
2x 5mm Crystal Dotted Rhinestones and
4x 5mm Black Dotted Rhinestones
I also added a 10mm Black Dotted Rhinestone 
to the Handle on the Flap side.
(All Gems from my stash)

Finally I added some White Fluffy Stuff

(Woodware)

to the Tops of her Boots.
And I added Glossy Accents
(Ranger)
to her Eyes.

To make the Bag close properly,
I added a Velcro Circle under the Flap.

Challenge #176 at Glitter N Sparkle

Hi and welcome back.

I have finally got my Blog back after a long 2 months,
It was taken out of my hands (I think I was hacked)
along with all of my emails.
Luckily I noticed straight away and managed to get them blocked
until it had all been sorted out.

So now it is time to catch up on all of my Crafty Makes
that I have been unable to do .

Hope you enjoy looking at them all...

Challenge #93 at Glitter N Sparkle

Well,

as I said today is going to be a catch up
of Blogs missed.
So here is the second of today's instalment.

Also not only have I had my Very Happy News
(please see my previous Blog ;P)
but I have also been looking after a 
newborn baby and a 2 year old 
for my 'sister-in-law' while 
her house is being ripped to bits 
for re-wiring and decorating. 
And to top it all off 
SUMMER HOLIDAYS
have started so that means
loads of kids in and out, 
stopping and going
(My partner has 2 daughters plus 
6 nieces and 6 nephews).

Anyway here is my project for that Week:-

The Theme at 
Glitter n Sparkle was:-

Taski Digi Stamp 

from Crafty Sentiments
(one of our sponsors)

To began with I used a pre-cut White Spring Card,
(stash).

Then I chose a picture off the Internet called 
Loady Bug
(www. layoutsparkes.co.uk)
which I die-cut out using Scalloped Squares
(X-Cut)
and used the corners from the remaining paper,
to put on the Bottom of the card
(so that it all tied in).
I wanted it to look like she is 
skipping and splashing along the top of the water 
on the Lily-Pad Leaves.

I printed off the Image on White DC Paper,

and coloured it in 

using my Promarker Pens.
(I added to her Eyes and Mouth 
to give her an 'Anime' look)

  Skin -  Blush
Vanilla
Satin
Face -  Dusky Pink (Cheeks, Nose)
Amethyst (Eyes)
Poppy (Lips)
Hair - Lime Zest
Meadow Green
Apple
Grass
Pine
Dress -  Lemon
Lime Zest
Meadow Green
Socks -  Lemon
Apple

Wings -  Lime Zest
Bow -  Lemon
Lime Zest

I then Fussy Cut all around the Image.

To Bling my Card up I
added Glitter to my Image.

I used Iridescent Yellow on her Hair Bow, 
and on the Lemon Squares on her 
Belt and her socks .
On her Wings I used Iridescent Mint Green all over,
but around the edges of her Wings,
I used Chameleon Flakes.
(all glitter from Glitter Magic)

To finish off my card, 
I used a piece of 5mm Lime Green Ribbed Ribbon,
which I handmade into a Bow.

And 5mm Flat-backed Diamante's 
(stash)
1 in each of the Corners on the Top, 
and along the White Boarder on the Bottom.

the largest Large Classic Ovals (5pc)
(Spellbinders).

I coloured in my Image 
using my Promarker Pens.

               Butterfies -     Buttercup

               Sky -              Pastel Blue

To get the affect for the Sky I used
 Me-To-You Blue Nose Pigment Ink
(Color Box),
I applied the ink with a sponge.

I used a Gold Metallic Gel Pen
to write my 'Happy Easter' Sentiment
by Hand.

To finish off my card
I added some Pastel Pink Glitter as
Plum Purple Glitter to the Butterfly Wings
and Pastel Blue Glitter to the Ribbon around the Egg
(Pastel Glitters from Hobbycraft

And added a strip of Pink Checked Ribbon
