Card
For this weeks challenge I have stamped the bird image by Stampers Anonymous with black versafine, adding some detail with the glossy accents and added a blue gem to his eye. Then I stamped the Inkadinkado quote stamp in the same versafine ink and three of the gems were added - this was then mounted onto holographic silver card. I then layered up three different background papers and added a ribbon.
~~~~~~~~~





Card
I stamped my Lily stamp "My Little Friend" and coloured her with distress inks and I also stamped and coloured some birds from a OneFourZero theme plate. The saying "A little birdie told me" was hand written and I added assorted papers, wire and flowers. I finally edged all of the panels with a brown marker for definition.
~~~~~~~~~




Card
I have made my card using an Owl stamp of unknown origin and a set of stamps from Stampin Up called ' The Art of Life'. I have embossed images as I go along creating a scene. Inks have been sponged on in Adirondack Butterscotch, Terracotta, Ginger, Espresso and Black. Mounted 3D over coordinating card stock.
~~~~~~~~~





Plaque
I painted a piece of card with gold ink and then cut out lots of squares in different shapes and sizes. I painted each one and then decorated with lots of beads and sequins. I printed out some words and distressed with ink. For my bird I used a clipart image and painted over the top.
~~~~~~~~~~





Card
I stamped the peacock image with turquoise ink onto white card then embossed it with turquoise sparkle powder. I then colour washed the background and highlighted the 'spots' with twinkling H2O's. I mounted the image onto co-ordinating cardstock. I scored a piece of A4 acetate to make an A5 base. I coloured 4 corner peel-off's with a turquoise permanent marker and placed these on each corner of the acetate base, then mounted the image in the centre. On the inside (with the colour facing out) I glued a piece of green pearl paper.
~~~~~~~~~~





Card
I stamped my image and watercoloured it in. I matted it onto co-ordinating paper and added a strip of patterned paper down the side. I punched out some flowers and added Copper Stickles to the centres, and printed out a message on the PC, and finally inked round the edge of my card with Distress Ink.

I stamped 'Dress & Bow Maggie' from 'Bootiful Stampz' with black stazon. Then watercoloured her in and added a gem to the flower in her hair. I then stamped the "once upon a time by Heidi Grace. Ribbon was then passed through two eyelets. And a large flower added with a checked brad.

Bookmark
I stamped the gorgeous 'dungarees Maggie' from Bootiful Stampz our sponsor for this week onto white card with black archival ink. Maggie is coloured with prismacolor pencils and sansodor and a touch of red glitter, I then cut her out. I cut a strip of pearescent white card to size then embossed it with the CB hearts folder. I glued Maggie to the bottom of the card. Using red paper I die cut the letters. I cut out the heart from red paper and attached a gold heart brad to the centre. I arranged the letters onto the card. I laminated the strip of card and then attached an eyelet at the top and threaded this with red ribbon
~~~~~~~~~

Card
I stamped 'Party Maggie' onto patterned paper and pieced her together. I then highlighted areas with distress inks and a white gel pen. I matted her onto patterned paper and surrounded her with 10 flowers using 8 brads and 2 eyelets! I finished the card with a hand written 'hippy chick' greeting.
~~~~~~~~~






Card
I covered the card in backing paper, stamped the 'Maggie Heart T-Shirt' image and coloured her in, adding some Stickles to the heart and hair. I then attached the image with eyelets to a mat then added to the card. I stamped a Happy Birthday message, and finished off with some Primas with heart brads in the centres.
~~~~~~~~~

Card
I made a circle shape card. I used this beautiful 'Flower top Maggie' stamp by Bootiful Stampz. I coloured her in with watercolours & distress inks. I drew a patten of hearts, swirls and flowers and stuck lots of silver beads on. The papers I used were purple card stock and Basic grey: Perhaps - Beatrice. I drew some stitching around the edges and used distress inks around the edges of my card. I embellished with white ribbon and paper flowers and some bronze brads.
~~~~~~~~





Card
This week we were given a stamp from the Bootiful Stampz range to use alongside the challenge of *Brads and/or Eyelets! * This was a fab stamp 'Red Riding Maggie' and I have had a look at some of the other images - I am definitely into 'cute' and my wish list has just got a lot longer! For my card I have used background papers from the Cute Companion CD and the JS Fashion Boutique CD. My image has been coloured with pens and I have embellished with white lace, Prima flowers, stamped leaves, gems and *Diamanté brads* adorn the photo corners.

Card
I stamped my image and watercoloured it in with Marvy Le Plume pens, then matted on to backing paper. I embossed some paper with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, and matted the main image on to that and then made a little pocket with another piece. I made a tag and stamped the message to go in the pocket, then punched out some flowers in co-ordinating papers to embellish.
~~~~~~~~





Card
I decided to use this Magnolia Goblin stamp of William because I love the cute little catapult in his pocket! I coloured William in with Distress Inks and matted him on top of K & Co Hannah papers. I also added a little pocket in the bottom left corner and added a tag which says 'you are loved'. I finally added some little blue buttons to the corners of the card.
~~~~~~~~






Card
For my card I have made a double pocket card. This is a very simple fold and I have used double sided card to make it. All the edges have been edged with a Gold Krylon pen. The images are from the Joanna Sheen Fashion Boutique CD. I have added a couple of Flora Doodles and embellished the tags with ribbon.
~~~~~~~~~

Inchie
For this week's theme I made an inchie (1'' x 1''). I decorated it with some silver beads, a crafty individuals image and a paper flower. I cut out a tiny pocket in brown cardstock and made a tiny tag to go inside it. I wrote the word love and finished off by adding some ribbon.
~~~~~~~~~








Card
For this card I cut a pocket out of plan card and stamped it with the words and stars in blue stazon and added hand drawn stitched around the edge in blue pen and added gems. i then mounted the pocket onto the checked paper.
I made a tag with the sizzix and stamped it wit a checked stamp in blue stazon then stapled on a yellow ribbon.
~~~~~~~~~






Card
I stamped the jeans pocket stamp twice with faded jeans ink onto white card. I cut around one of the images then cut the pocket and belt loops from the other and decoupaged it on to the first. I distressed the jeans a little with a brown ink. I threaded brown ribbon through the belt loops and secured at the back. I put brads onto the pocket and attached a flower, then rolled up a
£10-00 note and placed it in the pocket. I mounted the image onto gold card then attached this to a brown base card.
