Winter Melody at Crafts and Me

Morning Peeps,

It's Wednesday and time for another challenge at Crafts and Me. The fabby Vix has chosen "Moody Blues" as our theme and this is right up my street as Blue, especially electric, is my favourite colour. If I wear this colour and anyone ever says to me, you look good in that colour, my kids go, nooooooo, don't tell her that, everytime Mum sees that colour she says, that's my colour. So anyway, here's my colour, lol:-

Image is Winter Meloday available HERE

Isn't this image just fabulous.  She is one of the new range of Crafts and Me stamps by Lemon Shortbread.  I have added some trees to the background and was really pleased with the result.



She is coloured with a combination of copics and prisma pencils.  I did write the copic no.'s down so will try to add later.

Snow White SALE at Bearly Mine Designs

Tilda's Flying Through The Air at Bizzy Bec's

Hi Peeps,

It's been snowing more here, brrrrrrr, wish I could say I have done all my Christmas Shopping but I haven't got a thing yet, but I'm sure the internet will help me out, lol.

Today's card is my first one for Bizzy Bec's. The theme for the month is "Christmas", yayyyyyyyyy, I'm sure this is going to be a popular one!

I have used the flying Tilda, which I know Bec pre-ordered but has currently sold out. Saying this Bec has set up a "customer choice pre-order service" for the Magnolias so that you can get your hands on some of the older Magnolia's that are not stocked in other stores.  Just click HERE to add to the order or if you don't see what you want, just contact Bec and she'll be happy to assist.

I have gone Marianne Design Dies mad using the frame and also the circular doily.  Underneath the Marianne Design Die Cut I have used a gorgeous doily again available from Bizzy Bec's.  These are soooo superior quality to the ones that I have.  Bizzy Bec's have several designs including square and heart shaped and are soooo reasonably priced.

The gorgeous flowers and leaves are also available from the Bizzy Bec's store and can be found HERE.

The sentiment has been stamped and perfect pearls pigment powder added.  This changes colour in the light and is gorgeous.

Tilda has been coloured using copics and prisma pencils, my favourite medium, well for the moment!  Her wings have of course been glazed with star dust stickles available from HERE,

The papers are from Bearly Mine Design using Christmas Delight.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Quixotic - No Square or Rectangle

Diecut Christmas Club - Use a Diecut

One Stop Craft - Christmas Cuties

Magical Mondays - Wings
