Redonkadoodles soccer Football girl

Good afternoon, thanks for dropping by.  Its been a cold and rainy day here in Brisbane, and I have had the day off work... what better reason to lock myself in my craft room I say :-)  This is a card I did a couple of weeks ago for a lady who wanted a tomboy card for her grand daughter... a hard ask for me, who loves nothing less than splashing around loads of flowers and butterflies.  The main thing is that she was happy with what I made, and I rather surprised myself!!!! not a flower or butterfly in sight!

The image is from Redonkadoodles (the old Redonkulous Designs) called Soccer football girl.  I coloured her in the childs favourite colours- red and green. The black and white polka dot paper is velveteen to touch and came from a Kaiser Craft pad called Chapter One.  The green chequered paper is from a We Are Memory Keepers called Baby Mine.  I made the soccer ball with spellbinders Octagon and small circle nesties.  The banner stamp is a whimsy set.  the big brad, candle brad, ribbon and twine is from my ever growing stash.

Copic colours I used were:

R 20, 22, 29, 85

E 000, 00, 04, 11, 21, 25, 29

Ratatouille by Saturated Canary

Hello, well last one for me tonight :-) Three in one night woohoo!!!! This image is Ratatouille by Saturated Canary. I have again used those reds, blues and yellows for this card.  Using paper from a Bo Bunny "serenity" pad.  I tried building on my confidence using red and have done a bigger area for this image.  I also used the E's in the copic range for my skin colouring rather than my usual YR's.  I am really happy with this card!  I haven't used and dies, I edged the image mat with a martha stewart edge punch called Doily Lace.  I have pleated the ribbon each side of the image and added loads of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. I added some red stamens and I used some adhesive rhinestones for added bling.

Copic colours I used were:

N 0, 1, 4

Saturated Canary Canary Love Using Reds!!

Hi- thanks for stopping by again! As promised, another card for tonight.  This time it is the lovely "Canary Love" by Krista Smith of Saturated Canary.  I used red for this one to match beautiful paper from a pad I bought some time ago.  I had to buy red copics, as it is a colour I am not confident in  using... but I am happy with the result (I only coloured a small area using red to get used to it). The paper came from a Bo Bunny pad called "Serenity".  I just loved those colours in the paper I HAD to replicate them :-) I also got a new die (well it was quiet some months ago, but this is the first blog appearance lol!  It is a spellbinders die called "Gold Labels Four" and the detail is intricately beautiful.  My only criticism is that the labels four nestie (which I have also used) does not sit perfectly on the gold label die cut :-(  I have also used the spellbinders large swirl die.  Flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts (open roses (10mm and 15mm if I remember), sweetheart blossoms and hip rosebuds).  I have added some little red stamens I've had for years and a little bird cage charm from ebay.

Copic colours I used were:

Saturated Canary "Princess Zella"

Good evening!!! Phew I've finally got some time to upload these cards I have had done for quiet some time! So sorry for my absence lately- things are just a whirlwind here... preparing for our baby (due 1st September) and also I have taken on a local monthly market called the handmade expo.  I do the Morayfield   one as it is close to home.  It doesn't make me millions, but keeps me out of trouble and pays for a copic or two :-)  Oh and it is a REALLY good reason to keep on crafting ('cause we all need a reason for that LOL!!!) 

Anywho, enough gabbling, tonight I have another Princess Zella image by the awesome Krista Smith from Saturated Canary.  I'm sorry it seems all I am doing is her images lately, but I just love them!!!  Onto the card.... 

I have used papers "Jaunt" by Authentique and "Kraft Notes" from Forever Friends pad.  The dies are MFT "large leafy flourish" and the corner die is a Cheery Lynn "Lace Corner Deco die".  Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts (wild rose, poppies, hip rosebud, gypsophila) and I have added some crystals that I stuck to some fishing line to the flower arrangement.  The organza ribbon is from my stash ad the happy birthday cake charm I got from ebay.

Copic colours used were:

E 000, 00

Going dotty for Southern Girls Challenge with a Day for Daisies.

Good morning. Feels like forever that I haven't posted on here, but I do have a couple of cards to upload that I did for my recent markets.  This post is a quick one, and I apologise that I do not have the copic colours I used to colour this gorgeous image by A Day For Daisies.  Her name is happiness, and has loads of pleats to practice your colouring with.  I wasn't sure if she had long flowing hair or a veil, so I opted for the princess veil, but I'm sure you could colour it as hair :-)

And that's who our sponsor is this fortnight over at the Southern Girls Challenge and the challenge Lou and Trace have set for us is "Going Dotty"... so lots of dots and spots!!!!  I have used paper from a beautiful Forever Friends pad I picked up whilst in Canberra last month.  The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts and the butterfly is one of my acetate butterflies.  I have a tutorial under my tutorial label to the right hand side to do these butterflies.

So pop on over to the Southern Girls Challenge and show us your spots and dots :-)

I would like to enter in to the Wild Orchid Challenge by using three or more flowers.

Take care and stay safe. XOX Tania

Elisabeth bell Planting some love for Southern Girls Challenge

Good afternoon! thanks for stopping by.  I have made a card for our challenge over at The Southern Girls Challenge.  This fortnight, we are asking you to button up.... use buttons on your projects somewhere.  I have used an image by the amazing Elisabeth Bell called Planting Some Love.  I bought a new die whilst on holidays in Canberra - the hearts banner by La La Lands.  I have used two buttons at the ends and I popped a little rhinestone  in the centre of each.  I also popped two little buttons at the edges of my ribbon used from my stash.  The flowers are WOC and the butterfly is one of my glittery acetate butterflies made by me :-) The DP is from a prima pad called Fairy Belle.  I dotted some liquid pearls around and splashed some stickles and dimensional magic around here and there.

so pop on over to the Southern Girls Challenge and show us all those beautiful buttons out there! Cant wait to see what you all create :-)

Penny Black Tulip Jungle mother's day card

Hello!Thanks for stopping by.  Here's another card I made before I went on holidays, hopefully in preparation for a couple of stalls I will be selected for.  This time I have an old favourite Tulip Jungle by Penny Black.  I love Penny Black stamps and have about four draw full of wooden, plus about a dozen of her clear sets... she is a favourite and her images are gorgeous.  I used my circular sentiments from Lili of the Valley, again cut with my lacey circles die from spellbinders.  I have used a swirl die by magnolia and have used chandeliers and flowers from WOC.  The DP is by Bo Bunny from the Prairie Chic collection pad.  I added some dimensional magic to the flowers and stickles to the leaves which you cant really see in the pics, but it makes them pop!

Elisabeth Bell Happy Mail

Last card for the night, as I am off to bed :-)  From the divine Elisabeth Bell "Happy mail".  I LOVE this image. Unfortunately, this is a Belles and Whistles stamp which has now closed store, so I am not sure if this stamp is still available under another company.  The DP is from Prima's Sunkiss collection.  I have edged the chequered paper with a Martha Stewart edging punch.  I have used spellbinders lacey circles and large circle for the image.  Flowers are WOC.  I have used some Divine twine and lace from my stash.  I found a silver key charm and bicone crystals, which I have dangled from some chain.  I also glued some crystals to some tiger wire and scattered them among the flowers.  I added some flower soft to the flowers as well as dimensional magic and stickles.
