Posh has a present

Hello everyone

Wishing you all a belated Happy New Year!  I can't believe how long it has been since I last posted a card.  Hopefully, I'll get back to a normal routine now.

Today's card hasn't turned out a bit like I'd initially planned but I am pleased with it nonetheless.  I'm sure we all have those creations which just evolve as they're being made. This is an 8"x 8" which I find accommodates the Stamping Bella stamps better.

Items used:

Stamp - Stamping Bella
Coloured with ProMarkers
Papers - LOTV
Dies - Marianne Creatables, Impression Obsession
Flowers, button, ribbon, gems and Stickles are from my stash

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Penny Black & More - One for the girls
Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Anything goes
Bunny Zoe's Challenge - Hearts
Stamping Sensations - Anything goes with dies
Ribbon Girl January any image challenge
In the Pink - Bling it on
As You Like It Challenge - Favourite one or multi-layer
(I prefer multi-layer cards, if I use just one layer it doesn't feel finished)
Allsorts Challenge - Bring on the bling
Bellarific Friday - Love is in the air (which girl doesn't love shopping?)


Thanks for stopping by today and any comments you leave are really appreciated.

Christmas fairies

Hello again

I'm well and truly in Christmas mode now and here's another Christmas card.  I can't help but think these two fairies are a bit mischievous!  I thought I'd avoid the traditional reds/greens for this one and have coloured it in blues/silvers (but the silver doesn't show up to well).  The stamp is of course from LOTV and I've coloured it with ProMarkers/Flexmarkers and metallic ProMarkers and used Stickles to add extra sparkle.  The papers are LOTV, button and bell are from The Ribbon Girls,the die is Spellbinders and the ribbon, gems and embossing powder from my stash.
