Happy Howdy Birthday!! Cow Girl!!

Hi all, i'm back with a pink creation using my 'Cow Girl' Stamp Prize from the Sugar Bowl challenge and i've coloured her with Promarkers and used the 'Out of the box technique' with my beaded oval Spellbinders nestie. I put pearls around the oval, added some lace, gardenia flower and 2 pink poppy flowers, a pink satin bow and a homemade pin, the paper is from First Edition's Dreamcatcher paper pad and the sentiment was a freebie. Hope you like!!

I'm A Butterfly and Some Good and Bad News

Hello my blog friends, sorry i haven't been around for the past few days but the bad news is i've had terrible toothache and yesterday i got an emergency appointment and had a large molar removed so i'm still in pain but not as much as i was before!! 

The good news is i was chosen to be the next GDT at the Joanna Sheen challenge, thank you Sandie for choosing me.

Also i have a creation i made a couple of days ago but wasn't feeling well enough to upload it. I've made a snowflake decoration using one of my prize images for winning the All That Scraps challenge. She is called Ima Butterfly and she is from the Swiss Pixies collection from CC Designs, i've coloured her with Promarkers and added some glitter. I've masked her onto a Fred She Said snowflake freebie which i've also glittered. The Snowflakes are made using my Spellbinders Create a Flake die and my Sissix snowflake die cut from silver holographic card and white glitter card, the trim and ribbon bow are from Papermania's Couture trim. I found this very difficult to photograph but i hope the photos do it justice!!

"And a Partridge in a Pear Tree" and a bit of a moan!!

Hello my friends, i'm sitting here eagerly awaiting the postman hoping that he brings some of the prizes i won on challenges. You know when you email the challenges for your prizes and you don't get a reply well i always presume that my email is floating around in cyberspace lost forever but this is not always the case, sometimes it's because they don't rush to reply or they don't even bother replying, which is so annoying!! So hopefully today will be the day when my prizes show up!! 

Well that's my moan over with!!
EDITED TO ADD
That my fab prize from The Sugar Bowl challenge arrived but just to clarify that i wasn't moaning about you!!

And I Love Them!!

Thank you Girls

Tildas in Spooky Town

Hi all, did you enjoy my tutorial on applying stamps to candles if not it's the post below this one!! For this card i used 2 Magnolia Tildas and Edwins Town stamps. I used my MS PATP Combo Rings, added some glossy bats and a sparkly spider. I created the background myself which i'm very pleased with, i used different greys and a couple of yellows and finished it all off with some ribbon and a charm and a sentiment.

Tilda on a Candle Tutorial

Hi everyone, i thought i would attempt a tutorial for putting stamped images onto candles. I've used Magnolia' Tilda with Cat from the Little Christmas collection and coloured with Promarkers.

  Warning Picture Heavy Post

__________**************________

Products needed are Candle, Tissue Paper and Greaseproof or Baking paper.

Stamp your image onto the tissue paper and colour in. Carefully cut your image out leaving a small edge and place onto candle.

Holding the greaseproof paper tighly around your candle heat it up with your heat tool until the colours appear to show up brighter.

I repeated the process for the stamping on the back of the candle.

I then packaged the candle with cellophane and decorated.

I tied some of my gorgeous roses ribbon prize from Crafty Ribbons, added some real holly leaves, pink poppies and handmade pins.

Around the bottom i added some lace and buttons.

I hope this tutorial was helpful!!
