Pink Princess

Here is the first of two new release stamps this fortnight from Jellypark - this one is called Princess and is available to buy for the very un-Regal price of £1.25!  I've coloured her with Promarkers and cut her out with a Nesties circle die and then layered it onto the scalloped edge one.

I've added stickles around the edge of the image as a Princess needs some bling and then dotted liquid pearls around the card blank edge.  The papers have been in my stash for ages so not got a clue where they originated although I do know that they are digital!

The ribbon is from my stash and I've tied a double bow and then secured a heart charm (made with love) with some embroidery thread.

Princess Birthday

A lovely quick sketch this week from Tiddly Inks, so why does it take me to almost the last moment to get it together?! Well, it's because I do most of my colouring when I'm at my Mum and Dad's on a Saturday afternoon with the boys - I get a few hours almost peace and quiet so I take all my Promarkers in their carry wallets along and colour in!

I've used the Princess figure which I picked with my winnings from a few challenges ago as I knew I'd be able to use it millions of times! For this card it will be for a little girl who will be 5 at the end of the month. When I was expecting Jacob, two of my work colleagues were expecting their first and we all were due within 3 weeks of each other.
I've flipped the sketch round to fit with the white bits on the image and used Promarkers for colouring (I was going to add some glitter but forgot!) I'm out of ink in my printer at the moment so having to rely upon card stock and off-cuts from my bits box hence the scrumpled up flowers.

I've handwritten the sentiment (and can't you tell!) doodled a black line, added some inking and some corner rounding and that's it!

And if I remember, she'll get the card on her actual Birthday!

A Round Princess

The CRAFT challenge currently is:

Digi Colouring

I've used a Digi Sparkle image from the 50/50 Digital Stamping Group which I've coloured with felt tips. The round scalloped card was kindly donated (along with quite a few others) by the lovely Enfys so this determined the colours I was going to use!

I've threaded ribbon through the scallops and tied it in a sort of bow at the top and added a brad to hide the joins from the ribbon holding the princess crown charm. The pink backing paper is from Funky Daze from Funky Hand and the lilac hammered card is from my stash.

Be warned - the next few days I'll be posting more than one card per day as I've had a good run at card making over the weekend as the boys were at Hotel De La Grandparents so I could craft away without refereeing fights, wiping noses and building train tracks....

King (or Queen) For A Day! DCM Challenge

I had a card to make for a commission with a fairy princess brief so decided to combine it with the Daring Cardmakers Challenge which this week is:

... My Majestic theme is quite a simple one....

I would like you to incorporate a Crown (or Tiara) somewhere upon your card! Have fun and I can't wait to see what you create :)

And this is my response!

Crown cut from my own template (inspiration drawn from my new 99p Princess stamp) onto the silver card from the Scrap Store which has then been run through the swiss dots Cuttlebug embossing folder and edged with 3d silver glitter paint. The backing is pink tissue paper which has been ruffled a little!

The little princess was made from the commission specification and uses Sizzix dies and more of the pink tissue paper to make the floaty princess dress. The tiara and wand are Quickutz dies.

Apologies for the card angle - husband is in charge of taking photos at the moment as the daylight does not really extend beyond my working hours and he's not as 'thoughtful' with the photos as I am!

• Card: From the Scrap Store, tissue paper from my stash
• Dies: Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder, Sizzix and Quickutz
• Other Bits: From my stash
