Sugar Nellie - Live, Laugh, Love

Good Morning everyone, 
It's been great having the lovely weather so far this year but it does mean more and more cricket! Not that I'm complaining...if I'm watching cricket, I'm not doing housework!! It does mean very little card making time but I finally have a little card to share today. This is a gorgeous, very old, rubber stamp from Sugar Nellie - Live,Laugh,Love. 

I've coloured her with promarkers and copics and added lots of glitter to her fairy wings, and lots of liquid pearls. The background papers are from Crafters Companion. I've used a LaLa Land Crafts garden fence die, a Spellbinders fall foliage die, A MFT Stitched Blooms die and a sentiment stamp from Lili of the Valley - embossed labels.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Things with Wings

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Things with Wings

As you like It - Favourite Sketch - This is one of the layouts I go back to time and time again. It gives me the opportunity to use pretty papers and add lots of die cuts too.

Acrobat - PBSC DT

It's the 1st Saturday in May which means it's time for our Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

This month the theme is ...

Anything Goes or

Option : Monochrome

This little cutie is a rubber stamp called 'Acrobat'.

I've coloured him with promarkers and copics, and added glitter to the cobweb - although the sparkel isn't realluy showing up! The background papers are from Craft Creations and Make & Create. I've used a  Spellbinders decorative grand circle die, a Creative Expressions peony die, and a Joanna Sheen rose leaf die.

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes : Option May Flowers

Passion for Markers - Birthdays

Allsorts Challenge - Inspired by a Song : Tightrope from The Greatest Showman (Love all of the songs from this film!)

As You Like It - Soft or Bold Colours - I love both soft  and bold colours so it does usually depend on the type of card I'm making. When Mr Mojo has gone on his holidays I do find softer coloures easier and more forgiving to work with.

I can't believe that I only managed to post 1 card for the whole of April. I would like to say I'll do better in May, but cricket season has started so I don't get that much time now.

Spring Sweeties - LOTVDT

Good Morning Everyone

I can't believe it's been another week since my last post. It's been half term here so I was really hoping to get a bit of blogging done - but it didn't happen! 

I did manage a little cas card with a very cute bunny from Lili of the Valley. This is just one of the stamps from the Spring Sweeties stamp set. All the stamps are now available from Lili of the Valley's website HERE.

I've coloured him with copics and promarkers, and added liquid pearls to the centre of the flowers. I've used a Spellbinders candlewick square die for the frame and a sentiment from Lili of the Valley.
