Southern Girls Go Cute, Fun And Whimsical


It's just a shame that I didn't quite follow instruction.
My image is rather cute though, it's by Zuri, one of the challenge sponsors this time, they also have a sale on at the moment if you fancy treating yourself to Chise or any of the other cute digi images available.
Please check out the Challenge blog for full details of all of the sponsors this time.




This is the first time in a while that I've got out my Copics, I really enjoyed colouring her, I even did a little fussy cutting of the legs, allowing me to do a bit of Out of the box die cutting, not done this in a while either.




I also did a bit of patchwork with my punched flower adding some inky blanket stitching to tie in with the lovely design paper.




I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
FBD, 3 or more papers,
GCC24, Fantasy,
House Of Cards, Stitch it up.

Eight

I thought I'd share another card from a few weeks back designed and cut using the ScanNcut. I'd originally planned on making a football card as the recipient is a keen player, my ideas didn't work but as I'd got black and white cardstock on my bench I decided to just go with it. The embossing and inky stitching add a little interest.   




I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
TTCRD, Anything goes,
TT262, For a child,
BZ.September, Teens and tweens,
CYP279, Anything goes,
RFC281, Cards with numbers.

Hot, Bright Colours With Lavinia.


The new challenge starts today with Lavinia Stamps, and the new theme is 




I stamped the frame using "Background Script" then inked the edges with orange and pink, the "Zen flowers" were stamped and shaded with the same inks. "Thank you" looked rather harsh when I'd stamped it in black so I softened the look to suit the rest of the card by dotting over it using a white chalk pen.  

I used the same "Background Script"stamp on my tag along with two stamps from the
