Elisabeth Bell Digi Bell's Guest DT Card

Hello and welcome to what I am sad to say will be my last post as part of Elisabeth Bell's Digi Bell's guest design team. I have had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed working along side you lovely ladies.

Elisabeth Bell's World 'Pretty In Pink' Challenge

Hello and welcome to another post for my part of Elisabeth Bell's guest design team. As this is my last challenge post I would just like to say a very big thank you to all the ladies for having me on the team, I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. 

It is time for a new challenge over at Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge and this month the challenge is 'Pretty In Pink'.

For my card I turned to the very first Elisabeth Bell stamp I ever purchased and that was back in the day when they were sold by Sugar Nellie. This image is called 'Daisy' and I love this image, it is so versatile and can be used for so many occasions, today I went with a birthday. I believe it is now available through Elphine House Australia but I could not link directly to it as the shop is down.
Although my card stock looks red it is actually a magenta or hot pink colour. My patterned paper is another from my scrap box but I do know this is from First Edition but not which stack. A die cut border and a few butterflies along with some gems to finish it off.

Supplies:-
6" Square Card Blank - Natalie & Amy's
Card Stock - Limetree Crafts
Designer Paper - First Edition ?
Gems - Crafts Too Gem Wheel - Pastels & Corner One's Unknown

My Time To Craft 'Lace' Challenge

Good morning all, thank you for joining me. I wish this weather would decide what it wants to do, it is freezing one minute and then lovely and warm the next. 

My apologies this post should have been up this morning but between feeling ill and being busy it just didn't happen because it was still sat in drafts lol. I am so not good with making in advance because I forget to post them!

Anyhow onto the matter in hand, it is time for a new challenge over at My Time To Craft and this week we want to see your 'Lace'. Nice and easy for some but quite a challenge for others, give it a go you might just surprise yourself!

For my card today I used this amazing image which I brought about a year ago and have never used, that is so bad especially as it is so so adorable. I used papers from my scrap box and just played around with them. I added two rows of lace across the card before attaching a bow made from the same lace.

 Supplies:-
6" Square Card Blank - Natalie & Amy's
Card Stock - Bazzill
Designer Papers - All From My Scraps Box
Lace - Let's Create

My Time To Craft 'Oriental' Challenge

Good morning, I hope you are all well.

It is time for a new challenge over at My Time To Craft and this week we are going all 'Oriental' one of my least favourite subjects to craft to. I had nothing to fit this challenge so off I went to my local craft store which is run by Mark & Jo Channon (Jo is from Create & Craft for those of you that watch it) and at first Jo was as blank as me until we went rummaging around the store. I decided on the Tattered Lace Die called Oriental Birdcage and those coins you see in the photo. 

I cut the die in white card stock and then painted it in Rich Gold Cosmic Shimmer and did the same to my card stock to get the perfect colour match. I found the script on the fan on Google and just cut, folded and inked to get to look the way it does. For my background I cut a bamboo stencil on my Silhouette Cameo and then inked it with Bundled Sage, Old Paper & Frayed Burlap Distress Inks masking off sections until it was all completed and although it took some time to do it this way I like the effect it gave. The sentiment was also found on Google and a little bit of twine to carry my coins and it was done.
All items used linked below photo.

Supplies:-
6" Square Card Blank - Natalie & Amy
All Card Stock - Limetree Crafts
Script & Sentiment - Google
Coins & Twine - Let's Create

Ok now let's see what you can make.

Elisabeth Bell Digi Guest DT Card

Good morning all and welcome to another post from me as my part of the Elisabeth Bell Digi Bells Guest Design Team.

I decided a couple of weeks ago whilst sorting out to try and use my never ending stash of items in my craft room before I buy any more. So with this in mind I made this card using another of the fabulous new release images from Elisabeth Bell called 'Valentine Angel Reading' along with some odd papers, just a few a of the massive amounts of flowers I have and a small piece of ribbon.

 "Flowers" I hear you shout, "you never use flowers" and that is exactly why I have so many, well that and the fact my mum purchased a massive selection of them from a car boot sale last year for just a couple of pounds but they are all unusual colours which really throws me. Anyhow I put a few on this card, still not sure if I like it or not but my stash is now 6 flowers lighter lol.

The colours for this card were determined by the flowers, I added glossy accents and then glamour dust to the wings after I first coloured it with a soft promarker.

 Supplies:-
6" Square Card Blank - Natalie & Amy's
Card Stock - Lidl
Designer Papers - Papermania 'Happy Days'
Ribbon - My ever lasting stash
Flowers - Car Boot Sale
Skin - E21, E51, E00 & E50
Hair - Earth Yellow, Mustard, Vanilla & Primrose
Wings - Soft Lime
Top - Canary, Lemon, Soft Lime, Orange, Mango & Soft Peach
Trousers - Leaf Green, Green Shoot & Meadow Green
Book - Putty, Antique White, Mango, Soft Peach, Lemon, Soft Lime, Caramel, Cappucchino, Sandstone & Champagne
