Playing on the Beach

Hello everyone, today I have a card to show you featuring stamps from the Magnolia Sea Breeze Collection 2013.

For my card I have used Playing on the Beach Tilda from the Magnolia Sea Breeze Collection 2013 and she is coloured with copics. I have added some glossy accents to the rubber ring for a bit of dimension and shine. The DP is from echo park and the cute sunglasses are made using a die from Noor Design. I cut them out twice, once in black and a second time in grey, then I cut out the hearts only from the grey pair to make the lenses. I then added glossy accents to the lenses to give them some shine.

Finally, an angled shot. The sentiment is from the Noor Design Summer Lovin' stamp set and I finished off with some ribbon and jewels.

Cupcake Challenge 243

Hello everyone, over on Cupcake Challenge 243 we have a theme of lavender and lace and this week we are sponsored by Bugaboo Designs who are offering on lucky winner 7 digi images as a prize.

This week I received two gorgeous new stamps from Noor Design and as soon as I saw them I knew what I wanted to make.....my biggest problem was choosing which one to use!!! I coloured the rose in with copics and distressed the image with antique linen and vintage photo distress ink. I gave the same treatment to my DPs which are by Teresa Collins and I stitched around all the edges. Finally, I finished off with some pearl lace and two pearls on the top.

Here are some more detailed pictures for you. I love this image, I think it will be so versatile, it is pretty as a main image but it would also be fabulous as a postcard or tag embellishment for a card too.

Another....

And my final shot. The picture frame is 5 x 7 inches in case anyone was wondering!!
