Happy New Year everyone!

This card is one of my own favourites, I made it for my son's gorgeous girlfriend who we all absolutely adore!
The image is a beautiful digi,

The background is a really easy technique using a copic marker and some colourless blender in a spritzer bottle, I did a tutorial for Copic marker Europe about it
HERE

This card is made with a super cute digi from Make It Crafty - Fiery Dragon.
I have coloured this cutie with Copics and for the first time, completely coloured the background as well!  That was a heart in the mouth moment I can tell you!  Enormous thanks to Elaine Hughes - Marker Geek for the inspiration; I only had the confidence after recently watching a u tube tutorial showing this by Elaine.

I used some papers from Doodlebug Designs Hello Sunshine Collection and added some Bo Bunny Pearls.

Finally the sentiment is from another stamp by Stamping Bella - the prospect of warm wishes from that fiery little dragon just made me chuckle!

A Girl's Best Friend...

Good Morning...

This week's challenge at Creative Inspirations is Cute Critters!

This week's prize for the lucky winner is from 

Riverside Crafts 

and is a £10 GIFT VOUCHER!

Today's card for Creative Inspirations is made with a stamp from 

Make it Crafty - 'Amelia's Puppy'.

I did n't know whether to laugh or cry when I stamped this little lady with her adorable puppy.  I thought it was my eyes when I saw that she had no eyes! So...I stamped another just to be sure....and another!  Upon close examination, I realised that I needed to add the eye detail myself; that was something new!  I probably should have abandoned ship at that point but I refuse to give up on any project so I stuck with it.

I coloured Amelia with Copics and I used black with a white gel pen and blue Copics to create her eyes.  (very wierd - but that's probably just me)!

I used Papermania Card and spotty paper from Lili of the Valley's 'One Birdie Lane' collection and did a bit of machine stitching along the edges.  

I added some seam binding along with twine, a button and a charm, all from The Ribbon Girl.  The pearls and adhesive gems are from my trinket box.

And here we have her, Amelia with her best friend - so cute!
