I have used a christmas scrapbook paper from my stash.  The image is from Deedee's Digis and has been coloured with copic markers E00, E43, E41, E53, E51, G02, G000.  I used a Spellbinders die to cut the image.  I added some red satin ribbon and some poinsettia flowers cut using a Memory Box die.

Flower Power

This is such a sweet image and so fun to work with.

I have used a background paper from a paper pad.  The image is from The Paper Shelter and is coloured with copic markers E00, R17, R14, B29, B24, YG06, YG03, Y06, Y02.  I also added some Stickles to the wings.  I have used some flowers as embellishments - the wooden one has Glossy Accents added to the centre and the other two were white and have had colour added with R14 and R17.  I also coloured the edge of the Tattered Lace Die I used for the image.

Gift Bag

I never seem to think of creating gift bags - and then when I need one I don't have any!  I think I need to change that!

http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.co.nz/2015/05/challenge-266-make-your-own-flowers.html

I have used a double sided paper from a scrapbook paper pad.  The image is from Sassy Studio Designs and would have to be my favourite Sassy Studio Design image.  I coloured her with copic markers E00, YR02, YR00, R59, R46.  I added some red ribbon across the bag and also used some for the handles.  The flowers are cut from pearl paper using two different sets of Marianne's dies.

Flowers and a gorgeous die-cut

This die would have to be my favourite die.

I have used a paper from Rosie's Studio.  The image is from Karleigh Sue and is coloured with copic markers.  The die I used comes from Marianne Studio.  I also coloured some ribbon flowers with copic marker V15 to match the flower in the image.  I added some twine and a twine bow.

Canvas

Another canvas for my white walls!  I'm gradually adding some colour around the place.

I have used a canvas that is 15cm square.  The image is from Luna Girls and I added a bit of the colours from The Outlawz Tuesday challenge.  The background of the canvas is sprayed with Dylusions Ink.  I also added a small offcut strip of mesh ribbon, some flower pieces layered together with a pearl for the centre, a vellum greeting that has been in my stash for years and three decorative corners cut from silver paper using a Tattered Lace die set.

Just A Note

A CAS card with an historical feel to it:



I would like to enter my card into these challenges:
Ike's World Challenge - Historical
http://ikesworldchallengeblog.blogspot.co.nz/2015/05/ikesworld-challenges-38-historic.html

I have used a white card blank and edged it with copic marker BV00.  I used an image by Ike's Art which is part of the NZ collection.  The sentiment is from Desert Diva - I thought the quill worked well with the historical postage stamp!

Sweet Cupcakes

I found a paper that had a decoration at the top which closed up some of the white space on the sketch.

From The Heart Stamps - Sketch #110 + 3 of something (pearls + banners + cupcakes)
http://fromtheheartstamps.com/community/2015/05/18/i-heart-card-sketches-with-a-twist-no-110/

I have used a paper from Rosie's Studio for the background.  The banners have been cut from an offcut piece of a Kaisercraft paper.  The image is from From The Heart Stamps and has been coloured with copic markers YR02, YR00, R22, R20, R46.  I added some faux stitching with a Distress Marker and three pearls.
