Inky Bookworm from Bloobel Stamps



I love this little guy - this is Inky Bookworm from Bloobel Stamps. I decided to make him appear to be looking out from the card by layering him up a couple of times. It looks fabulous IRL.  I had always planned to colour him up in my favourite lime greens and then I saw my Facebook friend had done just that, with hints of teal....needless to say I LOVED the look and 'borrowed' her idea for my colouring. I brought the colours together in the layout too - not colours I'd usually mix but I gotta say I love them!

More Retro Fun with Simply Betty Stamps Emos


It's time for me to showcase another re-release from Simply Betty Stamps, this is Christian Cupid from the re-released Emos. I hadn't coloured him up last time he was released so it was fun to give him a go this time round. 

I really love the fresh colour palette I came up with and even though Valentine's Day is over he could be great for an engagement card.

Ice Flower by Aurora Wings


With the Winter Olympics on at the moment Mitzi from Aurora Wings was inspired to come up with this stunning skating image called Ice Flower - of course the fact that one of her DT used to skate, as did my daughter, may have helped push her in the right direction ;) . I loved colouring her up - it brought back fond memories of time spent at the ice rink. I hope you like her too

Aurora Wings Challenge #64


It's time to start another fabulous challenge at Aurora Wings and this time it's a funky.......

No automatic alt text available.

No automatic alt text available.I did say it was funky didn't I. This time there are not only elements you can choose but colours as well - I've never done a BINGO challenge like this one before - it was FUN!  I chose to go down the middle column using both the elements and the colours. For glitter I used some glitter cardstock and some Stardust Stickles on both the image and flowers, which is less obvious in the photo but lovely IRL. For my die cuts there is a die cut rosette, a dragonfly and leaves. The layers are obvious ;)

The image I used was the STUNNING 'Veil of Petals' and you can find her in the AW Digi Store HERE or the Etsy Store HERE

Don't forget to check out the rest of the AMAZING DT inspiration on our BLOGWe also have a very active Facebook Fan Group with additional contests, challenges and inspiration.  We hope to see you there.
