One Stop Craft Challenge




I made this for the One Stop Craft Challenge The theme is 'Bling' Well I don't think I've ever seen a stamp with more bling than this House Mouse Beading Basics :-) I bought this stamp a long time ago from the simonsaysstamp.com website and rarely used it cos I thought it was too hard to colour, but now I have copics !! yay its easy now !!
The papers are downloads from the Funky Fairy's Papercrafts website I love these papers, and did even before I was on the DT :-) just in case you thought I was being biased :-) I used a few pearl black flat backed pearls from papermania. The hat pin took me ages to make, I've never made one before and hadn't a clue how to do it, still don't so don't look too closely :-)

Thanks for looking, I appreciate your comments so please leave me one :-)

Cupcake Crafts Challenge



I made this card following the fabulous sketch on the Cupcake Craft Challenge

I used my new House Mouse stamp, 'Confetti Rain', the papers are Basic Grey sugared, I also used some coredinations black magic card that I cuttlebugged with the swiss dots folder. The image was coloured with copics, the text is from the Simon Says Clear Stamps DREAM PARIS ROME NEW YORK Exclusive set. The flowers were made from punched card, there's a fabulous tutorial on Poppet's blog, you ll have to scroll back a few pages tho !! :-)
Everyhing I used on this card is available from simonsaysstamp.com except the ribbon, thats from my messy drawer :-)
