Just Add Water...and Anya

I have finally managed to make a card using my new mermaid Anya stamp.
My 8year old Aimee loves mermaids, she found a TV show called H2o just add water (Australian on Nickleodeon) and has fallen in love with mermaids, so when I saw this stamp, I just had to get it.
I have coloured Anya in colours very similar to Ariel (The Little Mermaid), I got this idead form Aimee who coloured in one using these colours.
It doesn't show in the picture but Anya has little bits of sparkle oall over her hair, top & tail, I used a Sakura Stardust pen and just dotted it over, I have done some more and have spread the sparkle using a waterbrush.
I have also decorated the inside using the same papers I used outside (printed on the computer).
Sentiment on the outside and words inside also done on computer (the words are some from the TV shows theme tune)
Anyway I will give her the card after school. I hope she likes it.

Funky Fairy Challenge Get well soon

I love the Funky Fairy designs, and have been looking at their blog for sometime. This week they released some digital images that were orginally stamps of the Funky Fairy herself...being I have 2 girls who have lots of girly friends I just had to have them and they were purchased and downloaded within minutes of receiving an email from Funky Fairys Papercrafts.
The challenge this week was a Get Well Soon card, well that is something I don't have in my card stash but should have...just in case.
So I had to use one of the new funky fairy images as the centre piece. I decided to use their Pinkie Pops kit which I have had for a while (a great kit for girly cards)you can find that here for this weeks challenge go here
Anyway here is my card, hopefully I can join in more challenges, it's just a case of finding the time.

Pink Dress

Another card made using my MCS Hollywood Greats CD, everything but the card itself and a little holographic card is from the CD.
These images are great for girly cards, I can see me using these a lot.
Must get it in an envelope its a belated card for my Brother's partner.

Unusually for me....

I have used yellow in a card, yellow isn't my most favorite colour to work with.
I have used another of my Gerbera style flowers and a Forever Friends stamp which I have watercoloured.
Papers are from K&Co (Amy Butler I think), ribbon and pearls from stash.
Hopefully with the girls back at school tomorrow, I should get some more done, I just needed a breadk in between chores.

A pink Tilda and paper flower

I made this card a few days ago and I have altered it from the original.
I haven't been feeling so good the last few days with a bad head cold.
I decided to have a play with my Sizzix Bigz Daisy die and made flowers that (hopefully) resemble a Gerbera (one of my favorite flowers).
I cut the card using the dieand using a mouse mat and an embossing tool I give some texture to the petals to make them more realistic.
Some Gerberas seem to be varigated and some solid colour so I have inked this one.
I have made some more and hope to make some more cards in the next few days.
Papers from K&CO (Sparkly Sweet).
Finished with card candy.
