Scruffy Little Kitten Sneaky Peak

Well afternoon everyone.... 
I'm very excited that today is the day I can share my first Sample for crafters companion .. I was over the moon when I received the email asking me to join the  Spectrum Noir TV DT...:-)

So for my first assignment I got to play with some Fab new stamps and CD rom by Scruffy Little Kitten... These images are just fantastic for all the boys and girls out there :-)

One of my fav images from the new range is this little fella. If you are a regular to my blog you will know that I get asked a lot for football themed cards but they are ones I don't enjoy making at all.. That's changed after using this image :-)



I coloured this image with spectrum noir pens 

Skin FS2 TN2 FS7 CR3 CR4
Grass LG3 LG5 JR3
Cone OR1 OR2 OR3
Ball GG1 GG3 GG4 BGR2 blender
Shorts/socks CR7 DR4 CR9 CR11
Shoes BGR1 BGR2




I used insert, papers, and tags from the CD rom too.

This new range is just fantastic.. I will be setting my TV to record on Monday morning at 8am to see the lovely Fiona on create and craft for the Scruffy Little Kittem 4DD.. Hope you can tune in too..

Christmas kiss

Good morning bloggers, 

Thanks for stopping by my blog  and for all the nice comments you have been leaving me, I really do enjoy reading them..

Now as I've recently been working away on Christmas designs I thought i better get a move on and share some Christmas cards I made last year that have still not been blogged :-/

So here is an easel card I made for last Christmas using the gorgeous LOTV art pads, these are fab to use all year round but really do become handy when you have to make hundreds of Christmas cards ;-) lol..


I cut the image out using my nestie dies then layered on top of several die cut layers using my go kreate dies. The papers are from some old k & co pads I think...
I used spellbinders poinsettia die on the base with a touch of cosmic shimmer.. 
Sentiment printed from the computer and finished off with ribbon bow from my stash. Bit of glitter in the image and card candi in the middle of the flower...

A quick and simple design but effective I think...
Will be making more like this, this year...

Challenges

Right off to get organised now and finish a few more Christmas designs

News and a floral make

I have spent the day practising colouring with the spectrum noir pens and have had a few little wobbles to hubby saying that my colouring is not good enough for the TV :-/  so if I do go missing for days on end over the next few weeks it's probably because I'm colourin colouring colouring ;-) lol..


Right now for today's card share I have used a pretty LOTV art pad image from Set 28 - garden delights and papers from pastel dreams


I embellished with organza ribbon, butterflies, and doily from my stash
The flowers and pearl gem are from WOC
