Chic Geeky and Girly...

Good Evening...

Today's card is my Design Collective card for lovely Lili of the Valley.

I used the gorgeous new release stamp - Geeky and Girlie. 

I decided to have another practice with my Spectrum Aqua Markers and used some fabulous new paper - Fabriano Artistico 300gsm, a present from my lovely friend Christine from Cards By Christine.  

I stamped the image with Stazon, and coloured her with Spectrum Aqua's.

I used papers from the lovely Lili of the Valley Dress Shoppe Collection to create mats and layers, along with a little strip of burlap and lace from my stash. 

I distressed the edges of the papers and added some pretty flowers from The Hobby House. 

Finally, I added a paper bow cut using a Tim Holtz Sizzlits Strip Die - Bow Tied.

...and here we are... a gorgeous geeky girlie...

Flower Power...

Good Morning...

The challenge this time at 

In The Pink is a 

Pink and Floral Challenge.

Our sponsors are 

The Hobby House

and the prize for the lucky winner is a £10 gift voucher.

My DT card today is made with another of my favourites - Stamping Bella's Uptown Girl - 

Fiona Loves Flowers.

I coloured her using Spectrum Aquas.  (It is the first time I have used those)!   I am fairly happy with the result and I did enjoy using them but upon reflection probably need 

lots more practice and better watercolour card!

You have probably noticed that the colour choice - although still my beloved pink - is more vibrant that I usually choose.  The reason being that I am totally smitten with my new paper pad by Doodlebug Designs.

I used some papers from the aforementioned scrumptious new paper pad from 
Handmade Bliss - Doodlebug Designs 'Hello Sunshine' 
and borrowed a sketch idea which is currently part of the Handmade Bliss July Card Challenge.

I used some paper flowers from my stash and added some of my new favourite embellishments - Doodlebug Glitter Dots...

Here we are then... 'Fiona Loves Flowers'... (and so does Sue)!
