Pink Gem Baby Girl Bundle - Cuttlebug Challenge

Hi everyone, a card today for the Cuttlebug Challenge where this week there's a sketch to follow. I've used my cute Pink Gem Designs Baby Girl Bundle stamp and watercoloured her with distress inks and cut out. All the layers embossed with cuttlebug folders and I used labels one nesties for the panel behind the baby. The little birds are part of the stamp but I cut these out too to use for an element of the sketch. There's some stickles and sparkle gel pen here and there to which might be just about visible, a little pink BG button, sheer polka dot ribbon all mounted on a Papermania pink scalloped card blank, can't seem to stop using these cards, they're lovely.

Pink Gem 'Mimi and pig' - Stamp Something Challenge

Hi everyone, hope you've had a good weekend. A card today for Stamp Something challenge and it's sketch something this week with a lovely sketch by Emily which I've flipped. I've used my gorgeous 'Mimi' and pig' stamp by Pink Gem Designs, she's so cute and lovely to colour too, I've watercoloured the image with distress inks and sponged all round the edges of the panel with black distress ink. Papers for the various panels of the sketch are BasicGrey cupcake and blue bazzil for matting and also for the bottom strip which is scored and wrapped with raffia. Everything is mounted on a white scalloped card blank sponged with black. Added a woodware sentiment, stickles and a basicgrey button to finish. TFL. Chris x

Mimi and Snowman

Hi everyone, a card today for Friday Sketchers and a really great sketch by Carole, Cute Card Thursday with a challenge of 'Lilac', OCC and a challenge of 'Snowmen or snowflakes', Arty Girlz where the challenge is 'favourite colours' and finally Stamp Something with a challenge to include some black in your card. Once again lots of lovely challenges to combine!

I've used my gorgeous 'Mimi and Snowman' stamp designed by the incredibly talented Janet Roberts at Pink Gem Designs. Janet's new stamps are all so gorgeous, stamp beautifully and are wonderful to colour. I water coloured my image with distress inks, distressed the edges, stamped the sentiment and snowflake and then mounted on black card over the various layers of Lilac/violet bazzil card. Everything is mounted on a violet card blank which I scored for some texture and to finish I did some doodling and added the gem and fibre. TFL.

Back soon,
Chris
