Critters at Incy Wincy Designs

This week at Incy Wincy Designs we have a theme of Critters.  Our sponsors are Fabrika Fantasy and Milk Coffee.

From Fabrika Fantasy, I used Dancing Squirrel:

I also used a paper from a paper pad by MME.  I added some orange mesh ribbon over the top.  I die-cut using Spellbinders dies and inked around the outer.  I also die-cut a flower using a Spellbinders die.


For my second card, I used Lisbeth and Mr Deer from Milk Coffee:

I also used a paper from a christmas paper pad by Rosie's Studio.  The die is a Spellbinders one.  The tag is from a matching set of embellishments to the paper pad.  I coloured the twine in the pack using a copic marker.

I would like to enter this card into these challenges:

Cupcake Inspirations - Magical
http://cupcakeinspirations.blogspot.co.nz/2015/09/challenge-329.html

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  The paper is quite shiny which I found a little difficult to photograph.  I added a heart shaped doily.  The image is from Milk Coffee and has been coloured with copic markers.  I glittered the wings with Stickles - Diamond.  I die-cut the image using a Spellbinders Oval die and then added faux stitching around the edge.  I embellished the card with some pearls from Rosies Studio, a flower from Iva Nova Chest, two white ribbon roses that I coloured with BG49 and some leaves which I die-cut using a Memory Box die.

Incy Wincy Designs - White on White with a TOUCH of Colour

I'm late with my post this week but you still have time to join in with the challenge at Incy Wincy Designs this week.  Our theme is White on White with just a touch of colour.   I have used an image called Swirly Bird from Milk Coffee.

I have used a cut and emboss folder from Marianne Designs for the background.  The image has a touch of yellow on the leaves.  I also backed the cut out piece with some yellow glitter cardstock.  I added some white fancy ribbon and some white pearls as accents.

All Things Girly

I felt really inspired this week and created two cards to showcase the new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs.  This week the theme is "All Things Girly".  We have two lovely sponsors:

I decided to create two cards so I could show you images from both sponsors:

using Candy Floss Castle from Hope Jacare Doodles

using Tiffany Get Her Daily Dose of Coffee from Milk Coffee Stamps

For the Hope Jacare Doodles card I also used some backing paper from Kaisercraft.  The image is coloured with copic markers and die-cut using a Spellbinder die.  I added some foam roses and some flower shaped bling.

For the Milk Coffee Stamps Card I also used backing paper from Kaisercraft and glittered over some of it.  I used a narrow sheer organza ribbon.  The sewing implements have been die-cut from cardstock using a Tattered Lace die.  I also used some pearls and some white ribbon roses coloured with a copic marker.

Back To School Card

I have incorporated a few back to school things in this card - twine, school bus, writing, girl dressed for school.
