Fly me to the Moon

Hello ladies, I've been busy visiting lots of blogs and becoming a follower, as I've just realised that I receive all the latest goings on in my blogger dashboard of the blogs I am following - there is some amazing talent out there and I want to attempt to make soo many cards similar to the ones I've seen. I also order so many goodies to be able to craft my 'new creations'. It's costing me a small fortune! and I think I'm being creative, but all I'm really doing is staring at my computer screen - lol. I have managed to make a card to enter into this weeks http://magnoliastamplovers.blogspot.com/ Black challenge:

I used my Magnolia Astronaut Tilda and had my first attempt at masking! and sat her on the Magnolia Rocket from the same collection. I coloured her with Pro-markers and Copics, added some Diamond Stickles and coated her 'helmet' with Anita's 3-D Clear Gloss Finish, which really shines in real life. I stamped the Magnolia sentiment and heat embossed with Heat it Up embossing powder to give a 3D effect. I used card and papers from my stash, added some black ribbon and some silver stars.
Here's a closer look:

And finally a closer look at the embossed sentiment:

Apologies for the dark pictures, but it's such a dull, overcast day today that there's hardly any natural light and  my pictures turn out with so much glare when I use my flash, that you can't see them!
That's all for now.
Have a happy Saturday whatever you're doing and thank you for stopping by.
Hugs,

No Peeking!

Good morning, I'm up far too early today, adjusting the clocks this weekend seems to have put my body clock out. Before I post my picture, I want to say thank you and welcome to my new followers, am so pleased that some people think that my work is worth following. Here is a simple card made using a Little Clare stamp an LOTV sentiment, papers and brads from my stash.

Having just uploaded my photo, I realise I've forgotten to add my sparkle - I thought there was something missing!

I've been seeing personalised stamps on other blogs and eventually discovered you can have these made at Bunny Zoes Crafts, so I ordered myself one and was so excited when it arrived. I used it on the back of this card:

Walkies!

Hello again. Have been looking through lots of lovely blogs and am amazed at some of the talent out there. I came across the http://cardsformen.blogspot.com/ on my blog visits and thought I'd enter this card I've made for my future son-in-laws birthday into their challenge this week, the theme is animals. I used a KennyK digi stamp for the image and my EK punch for the borders, the sentiment is from a male themed stamp set from Little Clare. I finished off with 3 small brads - as there's not much in the way of embellies that can be used on a man's card!!
Thanks to those of you who have left me your kind comments, they are very much appreciated.
Bye for now, Vicki x

Forever Friends

Hello, I've made another card - my second in two days, nothing for ages, then two in two days!
This time I've used a favourite from last year from my Forever Friends stamp set, I die cut my own card, used Prismacolor pencils to colour my stamped image, my sentiment is one from LOTV and finally I added lots of sparkly (which doesn't show too well on my photo!).
I'm entering this one into the
http://foreverfriendschallengeblog.blogspot.com/ 'Use Sentiment' Monthly Challenge and http://sentimentalsundays.blogspot.com/ Challenge #77 Fancy Folds and a Sentiment.
That's all for now. Hugs x

One of a Kind

Hello again, I love this Magnolia Tilda Cheerleader stamp so much that I've used her again! This time for the http://www.officialmagnoliainspirationchallenge.blogspot.com/ Challenge #20 'Let's get Sporty' I've used the sketch for this challenge too. She looks alot better in real life! I couldn't get a decent photo no matter how hard I tried. Hope she inspires you to enter too.
That's all for now. Hugs x

You Are a Winner!

I love this stamp, Cheerleader Tilda, she's been waiting a while to be stamped and I finally got round to it this week. I added some sparkly and some liquid pearls, I just love the bright colours and wanted to make something to bring back some cheer now the weathers changed........
