Last Minute

Hi everyone
It's time for a new challenge again over at Sparkle & Glitter with Rick St Dennis.

Last Minute Shopping is the theme this next 2 weeks.
I made a last minute type Christmas card with a really sweet image. Yes, go on scoff! Not often you'll see sweet in this cubby hole. Nevertheless, Isabella, Last Minute Gifts got inked in and made into this card.

 I used the sketch over at Corrosive Challenges for my inspiration.
The papers are a mixture of different companies. Just to get that pale icy blue sky look.
Isabella herself was coloured using promarkers. The snowman has icicle stickles daubed over him and the furry effect on Isabella's boots and Santa's facial hair was done using flower soft. Puffy stuff on Santa's hat.

MS punches used and some narrow ribbon threaded through. The flowers have been lightly coloured with PMs aswell and secured with jewel brads. Some extra bling added in the corners.

Now all there is to do is invite you all to join in the challenge over at Sparkle & Glitter so we can come ogle at your eye candy. You never know - you could well be in with a chance of winning some images from Rick or from our fabulous sponsor this week - Stitchy Bear.

Stamping Dragon

I couldn't resist this image. Dragon and a fairy. A fab combination. It's available from The Dragons Den for the DT call that's being run at the moment.

Also the sketch over at Corrosive Challenges just screamed at me to be used here. My colour choices might seem strange to some, but for me it works. Purples, greens, and oranges.
The image itself was coloured with promarkers with just a touch of sparkly gel pens on the fairy.

The was attached to textured orange card stock which in turn was layered on to green.
The panels are both papermania, distressed and matted onto pale green CS which was lightly ink distressed with DI dusty concorde after being attacked with my sandpaper.
Then comes the base layer which is a bluey purple, sprayed with copper mica and layered onto more of that pale green before attaching to the card base. The dew drops are orange, green and purple as well from Crafty Feeling. The chipboard letters from a blog win last year in just the right colours and the polka dots tie in as well.

So this is my entry into the call at The Dragons Den using the specified image.
