Cheers....!!

Hey everyone....

I had lots of fun playing around with a heaps of different products for this card that I have to share with you...

The main image is from "Stamping Bella" and she is called "Uptown girl - Opal the optimist", I coloured her up with my fave colouring medium Copics. 

For the fun pattern behind the bella I used the new stamp from the "Uniquely creative" mixed media mini kit called "doodled circles"...

First I used some NUVO shimmer powder on glossy photo paper, and then stamped the doodled circles with versamark ink. Using "WOW" embossing powder I heat set the image with WOW Ebony powder. 

The whole background is also done with the NUVO shimmer powders... Im loving these powders, they are so fun and make such awesome backgrounds!! 

For the "Cheers" sentiment I used a "Make it crafty" chipboards and heat embossed it with WOW powders!!

Then of course to finish off the card a touch of sequins....

I hope you enjoy my latest card, I will be back soon with more of my creations to share with you all!!

Thinking of you....!!

Hey everyone....

I'm up on the Uniquely Creative blog with a tutorial on how to make this card...

You can find all the copic colours and product details that I used along with the tutorial "here"....

I hope you enjoy it and I would love to see your take on the card!!

Flashdance....!!

Hey everyone....

I've been attacking my "Stamping bella" stash lately so I have another fun card to share with you, this time using the cool "Uptown girl - Farrah loves flashdance" stamp!!

I coloured her up with Copics and then I thought I'd have a go at adding some 

prisma colour pencil to it....

The background was made using some NUVO shimmer powder in a variety of the 

colours on photo glossy paper...

I then used a card base which I blended some distress ink on,  and cut out some triangles so that when I layered it over the NUVO piece you would see the awesome colours of the powder show through!!

The sentiment is also included in the stamp set from Stamping bella... 

I stamped it on some white card with tuxedo black memento ink, cut it up into pieces and then backed it on some pink card. 

Of course a touch of pretty sequins for some bling finished off the card!!

I hope you have enjoyed this fun colourful card, I know I had lots of fun creating it....

Oh and If you don't already you certainly need some bella's in your life... 

there is even a "SALE" on at the moment, so get in quick and grab some 

new stamps for your stash!! 

Happy crafting, Hugz Ashlee. 

Bestie....!!

Hey everyone...

I've got a card to share with you today using some awesome stamps from 

"Stamping Bella" called "Uptown girls snapshots acting goofy" 

and "Uptown girls snapshots minis"...

I think these stamps are just so much fun and absolutely perfect for a card for 

a best friend!!

There is actually a big sale section over at Stamping Bella at the moment and the acting goofy stamp is one thats included in the sale, how cools that!!

I coloured up all the images using my Copics and added a touch of white pen...

The background was done by masking a rectangle on the card base and blending a couple of colours of distress ink together, finished off with a spritz of water for a mottled effect!! 

I used a chippie from "Make it crafty" for the sentiment "You're my bestie" and coloured it with black copic, I then added a touch of white pen and covered with a liquid gloss. 

Of course a touch of sequins for some bling finished off the card!!

I hope you like it, Happy crafting everyone!!

Hooray bubble chicks....!!

Hey everyone....

I grabbed this cute stamp "bubble chicks" from "Stamping bella" out of my stash and 

coloured them up with my Copics. 

I had fun trying a colourful way of colouring the bubbles, what do you think of them?!

I am absolutely loving the NUVO shimmer powder on photo paper at the moment...

It creates such fun and colourful backgrounds for cards. Super easy to use, a little messy but awesome results!! 

Aren't those bubble chicks just the cutest, floating about with their big colourful bubbles!!

I hope you like my simple but colourful card...

Thankyou for stopping by, happy crafting, Ashlee.
