Yeh I've won!

I just got home, checked my emails and was thrilled to get an email to say ive won a sizzix big shot and dies! how cool is that? Ive entered so many competitions that you begin to wonder if anyone actually does win them.... well they do! Im so thrilled, can wait for it to arrive, so excited that i just had to share my good news with you all. 

Purple Gorjuss Card

I was really pleased with how this one came out!

I downloaded the papers from Monti's pixel playground and was so pleased with them, theres ribbons, elements and papers and they are really gorjuss colours too, theres lots of other papers etc to download, so worth a look if you get a chance!

I used Gorjuss stamp from Funky kits and a nestability shape that i inked with Tim Holtz inks to stamp her onto, sizzix die for the swirly bit and punched out some flowers to top it with. I coordinated the inside to match.

Outside of card ... and inside of card.

This is a Gorjuss card i made using papers downloaded greatfully from Summertime Designs and i must admit they are absolutely beautiful, so i would like to say thankyou for designing them and letting us download them!
I also used my cuttlebug to cut out the swirly die, which is a sizzix border die, and my new frame die, which i think was nestability one? very pretty frame and set. Alchohol inks and letraset permanent markers to colour and of course the Gorjuss Girl stamp from Funky Kits and to finish it off some flowers!

Pink, Blue and Brown day!

Started off today by doing this card, which yes i know is the same as the one in the craft stamping magazine, liked it that much that i made it for my mum for mothers day!

Been playing with my cuttlebug and got this blue, pink and brown thing going on? colours look really nice together! although they havent come out as i had liked, but i did a variation on a theme with the following 2 cards, was quite pleased how they came out, used inks, sakura pens for some of the colourings.

Bought the new sizzix embossing plate, which i think is really pretty, embossed onto plain pink card and then sanded the pattern and gems for the centres and some glitter glue, couple flowers and hey presto! lol another card!

Have also been having a play with some other stamps (Elusive images) and painted them, but havent done them onto a card yet, if i get a minute, i will take photo and upload them before and after shots!
