High Hopes Cowgirl Candace - Mojo Monday Wk 30

I am so pleased with how this card turned out. This card has been made for the Mojo Monday Week 30 Challenge over at Poetic Artistry. I have made it for a very special new friend. The cute girl is Cowgirl Candace and is by High Hopes. The owl was sent to me from a very kind friend and is by Magnolia. The "Adore You" sentiment is by Studio G. I have coloured using my Prismacolour pencils with the use of sansador and stumps to blend. I have also used my sakura pens on the flowers and owl - you know I love a bit of bling! The fence was cut on my Cricut on Basic Grey paper and was made in the Design studio using the George Cartridge only. I used brads to join the fence posts. The Orange flower Paper is by Danelle Johnson. Hope you like it.

High Hopes Good Clean Fun

I have made this card for a very special friend. I hope she likes it. I have followed Sketch 7 for the blog candy draw hosted by Nicola at My Paper World. The stamp is High Hopes - Good Clean Fun. This has been coloured with my prismacolour pencils using Sansador and paper stumps for blending. I have also used my Sakura stardust pen for the water and bubbles.

My inspiration for this card came from the Hanglar and Stanglar stamp John Blund/Clown. This cute stamp is Magnolia Sitting Tingla. She is coloured using my prismacolour pencils with the use of sansador and stumps for blending. The moon was cut from my Cricut George cartridge and was coloured with my Prisma Markers. The star charms were also cut from this cartridge along with the stars. The lettering is from the Mickey font cartridge. The wool is from Hobbycraft.

I have submitted this card for Challenge 3 at Cute Card Thursday.

Magnolia Heart Patch Tilda

I decided I needed to do a Magnolia scene card. Stamps used - Magnolia Heart Patch Tilda, Tree with Carved Heart, Tilda's bird & Kithen Bench. The flowers were Habico stamps and the Ladybird and grass were Studio G stamps. The sun was printed from the PcCrafter trial images. The sentiment was printed on my computer then the shape cut using my cuttlebug. The scalloped orange backing was acheiveved by wielding two scalloped cards from the Christmas Cheer cartridge and cutting on my Cricut. Coloured mainly with my prisma pencils with the use of sansador and stumps to blend. Also used copics, prisma markers and Sakura pens. The background is coloured pale sky blue but this didn't show too well in the photo. The tree trunk was stamped onto Basic grey paper. I am pleased with how this turned out and as you can probably guess I love bright colours! Nikki x

Magnolia Bunny Tilda

I would just like to wish you all a Happy Easter and I hope you enjoy your bank holiday weekend. Nikki xOk, so I wasn't planning to make anymore cards until after the bank holiday but this cute little Magnolia Bunny Tilda only arrived Wednesday and I just had to use her! Coloured using my Prismacolour pencils with the use of sansador and paper stumps for blending. Sakura pens also used for bling! The papers were scraps left over from other projects. Other accessories: Brads, Ribbon from Hobbycraft, embellishments - K&Company.

High Hopes Gabby and Scottie

I am really pleased with how this card turned out as this is my most adventurous project so far. The background is printed from the free trial project by pcCrafter. Thank you to Kim at Fun Times for introducing me to this fantastic website. I customised this scene using Photoshop. The stamps used are from High Hopes and are called Gabby and Scottie. I just love this little westie.. he is just so adorable. I printed Gabby's coat, hat, gloves and boots onto papers by Basic Grey. Various mediums used - Prismacolour pencils, Sansador. Paper stumps, copics markers, various Sakura pens. I printed the Happy Birthday sign on my computer and fixed with a brad so it looked more like a sign. Other accessories: flowers - K&Company, Ribbon - Hobby Craft.

Lola and Simon

This card was made using my Lola and Simon Stamp by Sugar Nellie at Funky kits. Coloured with my prismacolour pencils with the use of Sansador and paper stumps for blending. Paper is by American Crafts. I cut the ovals and the scalloped oval from my Cricut. The Scalloped oval was designed in the Design Studio using George Cartridge. The beautiful blooms and ribbons are from Rebecca's Scrapbooking Stash March kit. Other accessories: Brads.

High Hopes Mary J Teacher

I know it is still a few months until the kids break up for Summer but I just had to use these great stamps from High Hopes to make a card for Zoe's teacher. This teacher set is High Hopes March monthly special. Stamps used: Q-037 Mary J Teacher Angel, T-049 Teachers Desk, J-068 School Background & E-126 Believe. Other stamps not included in this offer which I have used are: 3 Star Corner and School Background. The papers I have used are from the Infuse Collection by basic grey. I cut around the Teachers desk and mounted it onto two different colour papers used for the floor and walls. I stamped the Blue frame paper with the School Background (ABC, 123, Apple, Pencil, Ruler). I used my Cricut to cut the frame for the scene. I coloured Mary J and the rest of the scene with my Prismacolour pencils with the use of Sansador and stumps for blending. I kept the board white as Zoe informed me that they use interactive whiteboards now! Mary J's wings are outlined with the silver prismacolour pencil then coloured with my Sakura stardust pen. The wings are more blingy in real life but this didn't photo well. Mary J has been added to the card using foam pads. Hope you like it!

Tender Showers

This cute little hedgehog is a Penny Black Stamp called Tender Showers. There is nothing tender about our showers today as it is bucketing down! I cut the paper on my Cricut expression to get the frame shape then stamped after. I coloured him using my Prismacolour Pencils and blended with Sansador with the use of Paper Stumps. His watering can was coloured using a silver Sakura Metalic pen and the rain drops with my Sakura Stardust pen. The papers are by Papermania from the Retro Floral Collection and the Basic Grey Infuse Collection. The word Spring was cut from the George Cartridge on my Cricut.

Easter Bunny

Would like to say thank you to Linda (Linbob - UKScrappers) for sending me this cute bunny image. I'm afraid the stamp is unknown as Linda picked it up from her local craft shop.
