Wedding Bliss.......

Evening all,

It has been a while since I blogged a creation... So here I am back again with my latest creation :)
This card was made for a request and I really did struggle with inspiration to start with as they specifically said nothing cutesy but after hours of looking I finally came up with the following....
















For the card I decided to use an 8x8" as my base, first time using this size card but they seem all the rage at the moment and I do like my square cards and after making this one I love 8x8 cards :)

The graphics all came from Nit Wit's "With this Ring" collection, they are just a dream to work with. I took the graphics in to my editing software and re sized to fit my 8x8 card. Firstly I matted the main topper on to silver mirri card (which pic doesn't show very well) and applied straight to card base, I then printed another copy of the main topper and cut out just the white sections with rings and gave a bit of depth by using my Pinflair glue gel.
















To finish the card I cut out a couple of flowers again from Nit Wit's "With This Ring" collection and edge them with glitter to give a bit of spark and used Pinflair glue gel to give depth. Finally using my Craftworks Candi (which I am now addicted too) I added them to the corners.

I would like to enter my card in to the following challenges:

Crafty Sentiments - Royal Wedding
Digi Doodles - Anything Goes
Moving Along with the Times - Anything Goes
Crafts 4 Eternity - Anything Goes
Crafty Catz - Congratulations
Paper Cutz - Anything Goes
Simon Says - Anything Goes

Thank you for stopping by and looking and don't forget to leave some love...

Hugs Debbie xx

Inspired......

Evening all,

Our very talented design team member Karen has reached 100 followers on her blog and to celebrate is currently hosting a challenge which you can read all about here.

To join in with the celebrations both the Crafty Gals and myself thought it would be fun to take a little inspiration from our Karen.... OK a large chunk of inspiration really and come up with a couple of new kits for the store.

The inspiration comes from WINNING "Colour Me" challenge entry Karen entered over on Sassy Cheryl's blog which you can see here. Sassy Cheryl later released the coloured version of this whacky bunny using the colours based upon Karen's winning entry so we popped along to Sassy Cheryl's store and got our mits on this great little character and turned him in to two adorable kits which you can now find over at Paper Creator at a reduced price for the duration of the "100 Followers" challenge.




















We hope you like what we did and we look forward to popping by your blogs to check out your creations for this amazing challenge.

Debbie & Crafty Gals xx
