Angelina Who Mk II!

Hi all, I'm back with another card using the fabulous Angelina Who? image from Rick St. Dennis. Yesterday I coloured her in greens, today it's purple!

This card was made with inspiration from a few challenge blogs - the sketch is from Papertake Weekly Challenge,  I Love Promarkers want us to use flowers (and Promarkers), Haunted Design House want us to use a recipe of Green, Black, Purple, Metal and a flourish, Addicted to Stamps and More would like to see us use Markers, Pencils, Crayons etc, and Passion for Promarkers want us to use Pearls and Pins!

 I have coloured Angelina Who? wiith Promarkers, and hand trimmed. I then cut a black frame using a Spellbinders die, and mounted her onto it.

Following the sketch from Papertake Weekly Challenge, (which is pick any of their old sketches, I have chosen Sketch No. 81) I created 3 panels in different D.P's. After layering them all together, I added some black lace and green satin pleat before adding the frame and flourishes.

I added two flourishes cut using a Cheery Lynn die, in black and silver mirri card, and topped them with some green and purple flowers and two pins - the purple pin was coloured with a Promarker to get the right shade.

Finally I added some lilac pearls and some green brads (these are my metal embellies) and I think I've got everything onto this card that I could!

Here's the sketch from Papertake Weekly.

Angelina Who??

Morning all! I have a card to share with you today, using this FAB-U-LOUS image by Rick St. Dennis - she's called Angelina Who?, and very apt, as I took the kids to see the new Maleficent movie yesterday. The film was great, and it's nice to see a different take on the Sleeping Beauty story.





I coloured Angelina Who? with Promarkers, and went for the traditional Disney colours for her. I also did a non-Disney colour scheme, but I will post that one when I have made her into a card.

I used Spellbinders dies and accents to frame her, and some thick stripy black ribbon from Stampin' Up!. The sentiment was computer generated using Zapfino font. I didn't have a suitable sentiment to go with her, so I did a little internet search, and came up with this - very fitting I thought!

I added lots of gems and white pearls for this card.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Art Deco Elagance..

 Happy sunny Sunday all! What a beautiful weekend we are experiencing here in the U.K! This morning I made a card for the Rick St. Dennis Facebook Group challenge, which is anything goes, and runs out on the 21st May.

I have used the very beautiful and elegant lady called Deco la Scala 1931.  I coloured her with Promarkers a little while ago, and finally got round to getting her onto a card today.

I have used some Art Deco style papers from Docrafts, and used Art Deco style dies from Spellbinders for the side accents, corners and little sentiment label. The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps Putting on the Ritz set, a suitably Art Deco themed stamp set.

For some extra sparkle, I added some black gems to the corners, and as the papers are foiled I left it at that.

Swan Masque

Hi all, it's been a while since I last blogged here, tpo be honest I'm struggling with my creativity at the moment. I'm into my colouring with my promarkers, and i just gotr myself some Distress Markers, which are taking a bit of getting used to!

So I coloured this amazing image from Rick St. Dennis a little while ago, and I finally made her into a card for a Facebook Challenge on the Rick St. Dennis group.  There are so many images to look at there, for all kinds of tastes. There are some fab Halloween images, and some are sooo spooky, but of course my favourites are his elegant ladies. And this is one:

She is called Swan Masque,  and I coloured her with Promarkers, and spent more time on the Swan head dress than her hair! Such a fabulous image to colour, as are all of his images.

I teamed her with some Papermania paper and some new dies, from Sue Wilson and Spellbinders. As usual, I had trouble extricating my card from the Spellbinder die, so I tried again with the Cut Rite wax paper, and it worked like a dream. But they still annoy me! No other die I have ( and I have a few from several different companies) give me this trouble.

As the dies were quite intricate and detailed, I just added some sparkly gems to the corners, and left it at that.
