Fabric at Pollycraft

So the saying goes.. better late than never. I think it can get past a certain point though! LOL. Never the less. Here I am with my project for the new challenge over Pollycraft Monday this week. I picked the theme this week! :) 

FABRIC!

I used the cute new Swings and Slides - Lil Bunny which you can pick up HERE!! Perfect for Easter projects.I know Easter has been and gone.. but they're still cute!!

I've coloured her up using ProMarkers and fussy cut her out. I haven't done it for a while. I've used all of my scraps from My Minds Eye Mabel collection.

As for fabric.. I've added some brown velvet ribbon, orange bakers twine, a pinked circle of yellow felt and a cream crochet flower. :) Enough ideas for ya? Head over to the CHALLENGE BLOG now and join in!!

A Bit 'o Green at LLLC

Hey everyone - sorry it's been so quiet over here lately. So much for a blog post a day, huh? My little number next to the month gets smaller with each passing day - gets me down that does. I'll have to work on it! :)

Anywho - top and bottom of it is, I positively repel technology. Still haven't been to sort out my laptop battery, so it's always a bit hit and miss whether my laptop actually turns on or not. If it's not my laptop it's my camera. It it's not my camera it's my phone. Gawwwd!! Wish it would all just sort it's self out.

You may have noticed I've missed two LLLC posts in a row - due to technical difficulties! HA! But this week - I'm IN!! Plus, you'll be pleased to know I'll be getting the next two or three scheduled too. Result, huh. It's amazing the work you can get done when you have no access to FB!

This Friday over at LLLC we have some inspiration for ya in the form of..

FANTABULOUS GREEN

Just in time for St. Patricks Day tomorrow! :)

This is cutie Cowgirl Marci and I've coloured her entirely with ProMarkers. Don't ask me how a cowgirls and good luck come together - but hell, they do on this card, and I kinda like it! I've stamped 'good luck' and the little clover from a SU! stamp set in Old Olive ink and added some splodges from Stempelglede in Rich Cocoa Memento ink to the white patterned paper.

Skin - Blush, Soft Peach, Rose Peach, Baby Pink, Sorbet
Eyes - Dove Grey, April Shower
Hair - Ivory, Buttercup, Vanilla, Mustard
Browns - Tan, Nutmeg, Cinnamon
Jacket - Primrose, Soft Lime, Lemon
Greens - Lime Zest, Lime Green, Pear Green
Rope - Aniseed, Mustard

I've used some yummy papers from Basic Grey Origins collection. I've been hoarding it forever, but it was perfect for this challenge! I've added a lovely cream crochet flower which I have wound with green bakers twine and attached a little button. A few WOC flowers and pearl brads finish this off nicely! :)

I'd like to enter this card into these challenges:
Divas by Design - Citrus Colours

Thanks for stopping by - pop back soon as I'll be posting my late Tiddly Inks post! :)

Tiddly Inks do Fabric

So here's the deal. I got confused (to say the very least) last week.. and posted my card for the new Tiddly Inks challenge which goes live today.. like days early. Me so stoopy.

So the new challenge over at Tiddly Inks this week is

FABRIC

and here is the card I created for it. :)

I used the gorgeous little Wryn - coloured with Copics and ProMarkers and cut into a panel with room to stamp a sentiment. Fills that blank space, right? :) I've used papers from Echo Park - For The Record collection.

Getting a sense of deja vu here?! Me too! LOL. You can check out THIS post if you want more deets.

So instead of just leaving it at that, I thought I'd also share my project I was meant to post on Fabulous Featured Friday. Here is Wryn - Close to my Heart. Love this cutie. :) She has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers and fussy cut out.

I've created a minuature notebook and clipboard type deal. Using a lot of polka dot papers from My Minds Eye - Rosy collection. Yum. :)

 So there ya have it. A little double whammy from me today. Hope you enjoyed stopping by. :)

Rainbows at LLLC

Morning! :) This is my second post for the day scroll down for some Tiddly Lovin' ;)

Today I've got a little La La Land Crafts inspiration for ya in the form of..

RAINBOWS

Now, I know you're gonna look at my card and be like.. I don't see no rainbow?! Uh huh, you'd be right. I've approached this a little differently, in the sense that I've used a rainbow of colours ;) Get it?! Orange and yellow and blue and purple and pink and green. HA!

I've used the adorable little Mermaid Marci - I thought all of those scales on her mystical tail would be a lot of fun to colour. I wasn't wrong! :) 

ProMarkers;

 Skin - Blush, Soft Peach, Rose Peach, Baby Pink
Blue- Arctic Blue, Sky Blue, Azure
Orange - Mango, Pumpkin, Mandarin
Pink - Cocktail Pink, Salmon Pink, Carmine
Purple - Orchid, Wild Orchid, Amethyst

I kept the layout of the card pretty simple, using papers from Echo Park Victoria Garden and adding a few embellishments from Wild Orchid Crafts and The Ribbon Girl as well as a gorgeous crochet flower I got from a lady on Facebook - I commissioned a bunch off her, so you'll be seeing these a LOT on up and coming projects! :)

That's about it from me - as usual, if you don't have a 'love' themed card, or a card all in pink - there are no challenges to enter!! Boo hoo!!

Take it easy, and enjoy your weekend whatever you get up to! :)

Tiddly Inks - Fabulous Friday

Yoohoo, just me again. Bright and early. HA! My last day at work for a whooooleeee week. Although my week off is getting full fast!! Monday I'm getting my hair cut, Tuesday I'm sitting in with my boyfriend on his new tattoo, Wednesday I'm gracing Ikea with my presence.. see where this is going?! No doubt I'll be able to fit the cinema in there too, although I gotta tighten the purse strings - my car tax is due at the end of this month. Gawdddd!! I'm not a one for great timing.

So you guys are here for some inspiration for the new challenge over at Tiddly Inks, right? :)

FABRIC

Yip. Ribbon, twine, felt, wool, lace, tulle, crazy mesh. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with.
For my card I used ribbon, twine and wool.. in the form of a crochet flower!

Here is Wryn.. of course. :)

I've coloured her using a mix of Copics and Promarkers and cut her out into a panel, on which I've stamped my sentiment from Amy R stamps in Real Red ink. :) Fills up that blank space, KWIM?

I've used some yummy papers from Echo Park - For The Record collection.. which is apparently really hard to get a hold of now? *hoard alert* haha. I adhered it to the card at an angle and wrapped some bright red bakers twine around it, tying it in a double bow. I then threaded a yellow polka dot button with some yellow bakers twine and wrapped it around the knot.

As for another pop of fabric, I used a gorgeous little crochet flower I commissioned from a lady over on FB. LOVE these little things. To 'ground' that so to speak I added a little green leaf stick pin and a little aqua flower from Wild Orchid Crafts. :)

Another cluster of buttons and brads at the top of the card.. and that.. was that. :)

Please stop by the Tiddly Inks challenge blog and see what the rest of my amazing teamies have got for ya!! I am over the moon to be a part of such an fab team - hell.. they even inspire me!!

Big squeezes.
