Aurora Wings Puppy Sprite



Meet the adorable new Puppy Sprite from Aurora Wings and for this weekend only you'll get him FREE in a Gift with Purchase offer - see below. 


I've made a card using two 1.5"x 11" strips for the sides and then I've joined them together with 2 bridges, one is the sentiment and the other is the puppy group and fence. There are also bridges holding the back of the card together but these are placed so that they are hidden by the front elements. Such a fun card to do and it's also a great way of using up long strips of cardstock.

I just had to include my little girl Holly into the playgroup - I'm sure you can spot her if you look - she's a cheeky one just like Holly was when she was a pup.

Aurora Wings Challenge #69


It's time for a new challenge over at Aurora Wings Challenges at this time the theme is ...

'ANYTHIING GOES'

I always try to think a little out of the box with these challenges and today I've come up with 

 'Mini Sprites Under Glass'

I've made a keychain and fridge magnet using glass 'tiles' to cover over my images. Being able to create fun projects like these is one reason I love digis. You can't re-size a rubber or acrylic stamp to suit your project like you can a digi. 

For the fridge magnet I used Poppy Sprite and for the keychain I used Pierrot Sprite

One hint for these - I should have sealed the surface of the image before gluing to the glass to avoid the little bit of colour bleeding I got. It would also have kept the poppy colours a little more separate than they are to give more depth. Ah well - live and learn, I still love them ;)

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.

Simply Betty Stamps Progressive Challenge - July 2018



 This month you have a choice of 2 fabulous beachy families to use for the Progressive Challenge, I've used the Gothic Family but there is also the 'regular family' image you can see on the left. They are both on sale HERE and once you've made your choice the challenge is...
1. Add Glitter!!
2. Please make a full project. 
3. Please upload to this album July 2018 Progressive Challenge by the deadline.

For mine to meet the challenge criteria I stamped the lightning in versamark and then added gold embossing powerd before heat setting. I then went over with somme gold glitter stickles for extra sparkle. The daughter's sunglasses also have glittered lenses.
Now, here's a fun twist....THE PRIZE. As the winner of the July Progressive challenge you will be the star for the August Progressive Challenge....this means you get a YOU Digi version of YOU! You choose the theme, you will get to choose the challenge! Is that not fun?!! You, in digi form leading the Progressive Challenge for August! YAY!! 

The background, sentiment and lightning were done using Altenew's Rain, Hail or Shine stamp set.

It's Grinchmas at Simply Betty Stamps


Today over at Simply Betty Stamps it's all about Grinchmas. There are 5 fabulous new images in the set. This one is called Grinch with Roast, for obvious reasons LOL. When lime greens are your favourite colour it's not too hard to realise that I would have had a blast colouring up this guy. I also love to colour fluffy bears so he was doubly fun using those techniques ;) I just love Betty's version of this cheeky fella!

June Releases from Simply Betty Stamps

My most humble of apologies - I have been busy and although I have posted these to Facebook and Instagram I did neglect to post them on my blog. I think Networked Blogs shutting down may have had something to do with the lack of urgency on getting them done....they will be sorely missed!
