GUEST DESIGNER

Gabriela - 2 month GD



I designed a Tag with scenery where the young and pretty girl, "Fashion Gal Shelly", can go for a walk.


DESIGN TEAM

MYRIAM


For my center step card I used Snow Fun from our sponsor Stitchy Bear Stamps

This lovely digi is "Sweet Sun Tea" design by BBKakes and provides by our generous sponsor.





Hi everyone!  I used to my card the adorable and sweet digi  Angel Bell. 
 of our sponsor Stitchy Bears.   

DORIS
This is my first project, a baby card I made using the lovely Bunny Flop image from Stitchy Bear Stamps.

My second one is a Feel Better Soon card using the Boo Boo Bee image  from our amazing sponsor 
Stitchy Bear Stamps. Have a Great Week!!!

Cazzy
 The first image I have used is the beautiful Snow Deer Scene by Ike's Art. This comes with many components and the main image, which I used, you also get the scene without deer and the deer separately so this could be decoupaged or used in different variations. This time I simply added a die cut panel and two glitter card words, and a little Stickles to the scene for a sparkly icy effect.

The second image I used is incredibly beautiful and is called New Baby also by Ike's Art. Many photographers want to take this image of a new born baby's feet cradled in the parent's hand. Again very simple, I coloured the image and die cut it into an oval, added a pearlescent frame and the word Love, and a bow.

GUEST DESIGNER

Gabriela - 2 month GD


I chose the beautiful and elegant "Lady Jane" provided by our kind sponsor Stitchy Bear, I decided to use a fan as an accessory related to the image.

Desire

Desire has left all of her card uncoloured, she used the beautiful Ike´s Art
Snow Deer Scene to make a stepper card full of 3d elements. We love those white rosettes too Desire.




Karolina said that New Baby was "perfect as I need to make a card for my friends' child's baptism." I am sure she will treasure the card for many years, it is beautiful Karolina.

Kat






Kat had a bit of trouble with the light because it is Winter in Australia, she has used Sewing Mends the Soul and added some real stitching, clever Kat, we like stitching!


DESIGN TEAM

MYRIAM

I used for my card Orchid digi design by Floppy Tate from our sponsor!






For this project, I´m working with the lovely Mz Emolie design by BBKakes and provided by our generous sponsor. I love how white backgroung enhances the digi.






I used this very happy Cartoon elephant leaning on a large pencil by Ken Benner, and I just had to stamp Happy under the pencil doodle (is that cheating, would you have known if I hadn't told you?). You would not believe the problems I had during the making of this card (or - if you read my blog often you probably would haha), and I will tell you all about it on my blog. I have used lots of die cut layers, two of them embossed, as well as die cut shapes. I used plain white card, some pearlescent white and some glitter card for Birthday. I used white ribbon, clear gems, and white brads and Opal White Liquid Pearls.

 





Hi!! I used  for my card  Sewing Mends the Soul. This adorable digi of our sponsor. I love also the quilting and this little bear is adorable with the wires and other accesories.

1st place: 4 images from Sweet Pea Stamps

2nd place: 7 images from Bugaboo

3rd place: 1 image from Robyn´s Fetish

2 MONTHS GUEST DESIGNER

Deborah

I made an ATC with the image from Sweet Pea Stamps using Marlon Teunissen's - Steam Angel Digi. Using Copics for coloring the image, Spellbinders Media Mixage Foil Pack Two, Tim Holtz cogs and Remnant Rubs - Botanical,  wooden cogs and used Vivia Decor Inka Gold Metallic Rubs - Steel Blue, Violet and Green Yellow.

DESIGN TEAM

DORIS



This time I made a Pop Out card from the Silhouette Store. The beautiful image is Angel Girl Sitting from our amazing sponsor Bugaboo Stamps.

MYRIAM



For my shadow frame I used Ravens Soul digi from Sweet Pea Stamps

MONICA



For my project I made a sympathy card with the gorgeus  digi 
"To Bid you Farewell"
created by Rebeca Sinz and provided by Sweet Pea Stamps.



This is such a beautiful digi from Sweet Pea, it is by Molly Harrison and called Orchid of the Night. It is one that I really didn't want to mess up on, and yet I had a near disaster but it was averted - phew. I coloured the image with Promarkers and added silver with a Prismacolor pencil. The veins on the wings are doodled in by me in Amethyst which I went over with silver pencil.
The sentiment was a freebie from Sweet Pea, part of a set of four circular sentiments.


This is Strength Fairy from Bugaboo, and the sentiment says it all for me at the moment. I had a little trouble with ink bleed here, so apologies for her tummy. Again I used Promarkers to colour her.





This week I made a card with the beautiful digi Pretty Fairy.  This pretty girl  reminds me of the charm that Marilyn Monroe had, with her beauty, charm and friendliness, she was to many like an angel. An angel in the cinema .
In this picture, the famous scene from the movie  "The Seven Year Itch".
 I used Acuarelables pencils, Distress Inks an Pastel Chalks.
