Mirror Mirror on the wall......

Morning fellow bloggers.  I hope you are having better weather than we have here - it is dull with spots of rain and just thoroughly miserable today ~ where has the sunshine gone?

My card for today is using the Fabulous Darling from Simply Sassy at Funky Kits ~ ain't she simply sassy??!!

 

I used my Promarkers to colour her (details below) and, still using them, stamped several flowers using a Papermania set of floral clear stamps onto the background of the smooth white card from Rymans (it is fab for PMs); used them once more to create an exact match colour for backing piece of card.  I distressed the edges of all the card to create that vintage look and I think it is perfect for this papers too! The DP is Dovecraft Funky Vintage that I bought from The Range ~ I fell in love with it cos t reminds me of lots of clothes I used to wear in the late 70s and early eighties (now you know how young I am he he).  Oh I long for those days again..........

Dotty

Believe this or not my friends but this card was made during the night - I couldn't sleep a wink so thought to myself - hey just get up and do some crafting in peace and quiet so this is the result!

Using Dotty from Cardmadfairy Creations, I used my Promarkers to add colour and set her on some fabulous DP from Pink Petticoat with Flowers range. This is a gate-fold card for The Cuttle Bug challenge so the second pic shows this. I used my Bigshot to emboss the Swiss Dots on the pearlised navy card and then again to cut the square shape she sits on with a Nellie Snellen square die. The white stripe is put thru the BS again using an embossing folder. (FAO girls at The CuttleBug Spot - hope I can use my Bigshot - did check the rules and hope I am correct).

This close up of Dotty just simply shows what a pretty wee girl she is and you can buy her over at Cardmadfairy's Creations.

Chloe by Jenni

Well folks, I have caught the cold that so many people seem to have at the moment down here and I feel like s**t. I recently bought this beautiful digi image from Jenni at Cardmadfairy Creations along with another two which you will be able to see very soon. I think she is adorable in her bonny party frock (as we Scots say) looking bashful (or is that a guilty look I spy?). No matter, she is a wee honey! I coloured her with my PMs and mounted her on to black linen paper after inking the edges. Using 2 backing papers from Pink Petticoat Lola's Boudoir Range in black & white, I matted and layered again after inking; the dotty embossed paper is white linen paper put thru my BS with Papermania embossing folder; flowers are made using PP paper again and Marianne's Dies; the swirls are actually from a Sissix photo corner set I found in the sale bin at a nearby craft shop and the sentiment and pearls are both from my stash.

Those glorious folds in her dress really make me wanna dance right now but feeling so ill I can hardly keep my wee eyes open.
