Gina Cupcake

Good morning all.

Roll on 4pm today as I finish work until the 9th January 2017 - HEAVEN.  Major crafting planned between Christmas and New Year.

Well today we start a new challenge at Crafty Girls Creations.

Our theme is 'Anything Goes'.

Our sponsor is



I chose to use a digi stamp called 'Gina Cupcake'.

It is a beautiful digi for any age of birthday.

I coloured Gina in using my copic marker pens and then fussy cut her using my BSC with a border.

I have been itching to use my new stamps from the very talented Phil Martin.  Completely different style for him but they are gorgeous.

I stamps the Inkspirational Daisy Frame using Basil Leaf Colour Cloud.  This is a big stamp so I placed it on my mat and took my card to it.  I then fussy cut it using my BSC on direct to scan. I also cut a mat out in brown card.

Because I wanted to keep the colours I cut a piece of white card and used Basil Leaf colour cloud to ink around the edges.  I embossed a piece of white card to mat and layer and then assembled my frame and little Gina Cupcake.

I finished off my card using some nuvo tonic apple green pearly drops.

 Good morning all.  Hope you are all well and on your way to being all done ready for Christmas.

We have a lovely new challenge starting today at Crafting from the Heart.

Our challenge theme is 'Always Anything Goes'

Our sponsor for this challenge is: -


I have chosen a lovely digi stamp called Mr Snowflake.

I have coloured him in using my sakura pens - got to have a bit of sparkle at Christmas.

My background was made using a mask, texture paste and glitter.

Some matting and layering plus making a frame all die cut using Sue Wilsons Double Pierced Square dies.  My sentiment on the frame is from the talented Phil Martin,  My tag is also using Sue Wilsons tag dies and serif craft artist. All finished off with a snowflake die from spellbinders.

To see more digi stamps being used by our design team follow the link HERE to our challenge blog where you can also enter your own project.  We also have a facebook page with even more challenges, hints, tips and designs from other crafters.
