Spoon Full of sugar Celebrates with Emma

Hi! Today I have something different to show you. I made this cutie for The Spoon Full of sugar Challenge, which is called Shape Shifters. They challenged us to have some fun and create something different; something which doesn't have a "normal" card shape. I had a blast creating this, and it won't belong before I make another one. I think it makes a lovely Birthday gift. One can hang it, and it's a cute keepsake in a girl's bedroom (in this case, where the layout is more girly)



A detailed close up of my embellishments : Flowers, lace, a small pin and charm.

For this circle card i used nesties to cut the shape and the various sized layers.
I also used Birthday emma.. I always think it's a cute stamp.. and I love it paper pieced.On top of the cake I used Frosted Lace Stickles, and Worn Lipsticj Stickles as well. Then when it was almost dry, I topped it (and the candles) with a fine layer of Crystal Lacquer. The other bits I coloured in Distress Ink pads.



I like this card, and I hope that you like it as well.. and maybe you get to make yours. If you do, I'd love you to tell me about it in a comment, and make me a link to it. I'll come and see it for sure!! :)

Say Cheese!!

I needed to make a folder/card for an image swap, and was also looking for this week's challenges and themes.. and I found this sketch at Friday Sketchers that left a lot of options and different ways to embellish. I decided to combine both. Here it is!





I used a purple/ orange color combo, and built the card around that. I embellished and made it quite layered. But purple is my favourite colour, so I never have enough of it! :)

Image is Charley and Sal , Cuddly buddly.. aren't they cute together?? :) I paper pieced the clothes, and decoupaged the trousers. I love these stamps for being so versatile in the way you can colour and paper piece them.





Anyway on the inside I left it quite simple.. but cute all the same. Keep on the lookout, someone will be having this image pocket very soon.. but NOT the Magnolia images!! :)p some other images, not my Magnolias.. they have come from afar to me.. I daren't part!! hehe





Dp are Dovecraft Kate Knight Aquamarine prints,(the smaller pieces bits from other cards left in my stash)
Lace, ribbon, gems from stash
Sentiment from K & Co Brenda Walton tags and corners
Sentiment on the inside : cuddly buddly

I hope you had a restful and calm weekend, and that you had time to play! Good night and God bless

spoon full of sugar - Challenge 13

At Spoon full of Sugar challenge blog they have generously accepted to allow all kinds of images to be used in the Challenges... so now I can participate in this as well! Yay :) Debbie has designed a lovely sketch, and Katharina is offering one of her lovely stamps ( they are lovely) to a winner, so double worth a try!!

The stamp I used for the main image is from Cuddly Buddly, and the round sentiment is from Stampin' Up.I have paper pieced the dress to match with one of the background papers, and stamped designs around the image (stamp set from Studio G).In the middle of the brad I chose to stick a small sticker that is a miniture of one of the background papers' designs.
