This one features the Cd Serenity Wishes available as a download from the shop as well HERE

As she is a Princess what other colour could i do her in. Yes lots of Pink and Pastel colours.

The papers are also from the collection. I used a punch for the flowers and a embossing folder for the centre panel. Some pink spiders webbing for the bow and some yummy pearls.

Do you like the delicate colours or do you like stronger colours?

Go checkout the download there are precoloured versions too with more stronger colours.

Well that my little card and hope you like.

Circles Circles Circles everywhere

Good morning a sad day as today is my last GDT card for the fab challenge blog I♥Promarkers. I have enjoyed my month and it has gone far too fast. So thank you for having me. So what have they for us this week.

CIRCLES

Our sponsor is Yours or Mine Papercrafts

yes they want to see Circles on your creation. Now me I am a Square card girl but immediately thought I would do a Circle card and only use Circles for my card.

So I dig out a Freebie set of stamps from a magazine I got last year featuring Wynn from Tiddly Inks

I folded a large circle I cut with a tonic Die for the base card and used my scallop Circles for the matting and the image. The sentiment was stamped and punched out with a circle punch and then matted on a scallop circle. Dp is from a merry & Bright Christmas pad. Added some Christmas Metallic ribbon and a Snowflake with a cicle red Pearl centre. 

Image is coloured with my PROMARKERS a must for the challenge

Well hope you like and we would love to see your Circles so please come and join us.

Thanks for popping by.

Serenity Blossom Chipboard Tag - C&C sample

Hi are you enjoying the school holidays. Well it is all very quiet round here I am wondering if people have taken advantage of the nice weather. I went for a nice walk yesterday with the dog. Well it was nice but think I walked a little too long and every 2 hours last night my feet and legs woke me up. So today it is a gentle one.

So I am here to share with you another of my samples for Nikkys Polkadoodles show last week. Loving the new Cds she has in the shop have some of the Colour therapy printed but my project today features another of the CD's SERENITY WISHES - Serenity Blossom. This time it is a Chipboard Tag to hang from your wall or a door in my picture.

The image has been coloured with my promarkers and the papers are from the Cd too. I have added some lace and seam binding. The dies used are Spellbinders and Tonic. Flowers are from my stash. A few pearls to finish off.

Hope you like. there are 10 fairies both black and white line drawings and also pre coloured along with some awesome papers and sentiments.

Thanks for popping by and dont forget we are still celebration Digi Choosdays 2nd birthday.
