Glitter bomb!

Hello all!
Back with my second post for the day and this one's for the current challenge over at TOFF - (The Octopode Factory Friday challenge) which is all about Glitter.
                 Now I don't use a lot of glitter in my crafting as it has a tendency to end up everywhere but where I want it to but I decided to fling caution to the winds and just glitter bomb the life out of this!  I coloured the Tinkerbell digi with my Copics and then glittered her hair - I simply painted on a thin layer of glue and dumped a truckload of glitter on!  When the glue had dried, I drew over the defining lines with my Faber Castell Pitt big brush marker - those things are amazing!  They'll draw over glitter, paint, gesso, ink and you can stamp with them too - no. I'm not being paid by Faber Castell to say this but if they ever want to send something my way, I'm right here.........
     The background also has some glitter added in various glue stamped shapes but you can't see it that well in the photos.  The brick wall was done with a Tim Holtz embossing folder and some Distress Ink swiping! The text page was attacked with Distress Stain  - 'bundled sage', the superstar sentiment is a dollar stamp from Michaels and the other sentiment was printed, cut and inked for definition.  I do so enjoy using The Octopode Factory images as they give you so much scope for whimsical, funny art - just doing it because you enjoy it :)

She's a Tinkerbell with attitude or artitude - whatever takes your fancy!

Cute as a bug.

Hello all!
Back after a few days away from blogging - just didn't feel in a blog mood, no real reason other than I've been having a few nights with insomnia, always fun!  Anyway, my card today is done with a digi I havn't used for a while - unfortunately there are quite a few digis hiding away in my files so I really must get them better organised!  This one is called 'Ally and Beeble' from the Emerald Faeries collection - so cute :)
      I used my Cameo for the sentiment and the scallop edged oval (big surprise!) and coloured with my Copics, keeping it all to just a few colours.

 

     I would like to enter this in the following challenges -

Do you believe in fairies?

Well, do you??  I certainly believe they make for cute digis and this one from Dilly Beans is no exception!  She has a bit of an edgy, punky feel to her so I chose to spice her up with some red and green alongside the more girly-fairy pink.  The challenge over at the Dilly Beans blogspot this week is stars so I merged the fairy onto a background of stars using PSE10 and then added a few more for embellishments.

I would also like to enter her for the following -

http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/ - use a fairy, butterfly or angel

http://hippitywithippity.blogspot.com/ - things with wings

Thanks for stopping by.  I'll be back tomorrow with a chance to win a digi from a very popular artist so make sure you pop in again :)

Fabulous Friday!

Wow, another week just flew by!!  At least that means Spring is getting closer and we even had a couple of lovely warm and sunny days this week :)  So looking forward to winter going - I'm a sun-loving person and can't wait for the warm weather to get here!
Anyway, it's Friday so that means its another funtabulous challenge with the Copics/Promarkers group over at The Outlawz .  This week we're asking you to come up with something green (the colour, not the concept) in honour of the upcoming St Patrick's Day.  I chose to use a digi from Make it Crafty called Pipi petal sprite  - isn't she cute?

I like using pinks and greens together and to keep it all matching, I inked the seam binding with the same Copic green I used for her hair and coloured the edges of the scalloped backing circle with the same flesh pinks as the flowers in her hair - talk about attention to detail!!

Anyway, why not pop over to The Outlawz to check out the rest of the DT's gorgeous work?  If you're not already a member, it doesn't take 2 minutes to join and you'll have access to some wonderful inspiration and the chance to win some fabulous prizes each and every month!  Well worth it and it won't cost you a penny!

I would like to put this card in for the following -

http://digistamps4joy.blogspot.com/ - green
http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/ - butterfly, fairy or angel (I'm hoping sprite will count!)

I'll be back again shortly with my post for The Octopode Factory - hope to see you then :)
