Butterflies, Ducklings & Spring Love.

Stunning Butterflies

Vicky did this supber and colorful Butterfly  Card, I love these stunning yellow tones OMG, so directly from her blog:Hello everyone! Today I'm here to share with you a little card that I did for Nicecrane Designs. I decided to use one of the great new butterfly image that you can find here.

There are so many fabulous images in this set! all gorgeous.

Here's my card with the one that I chose to work with.

The paper for this card is from authentique - be(you)tiful. I used my nellie's multi frame oval dies. I added some bling from my stash.

Here's a closer look at the precolored digi. I added a bunch of stickles to the wings to give some extra sparkle. This doesn't show on the picture as much as I would have liked! The sentiment is from Create with TLC

Learning to color Fairies

Toni Johnson is showing you how to color my unique and adorable Fairies in this step by step tutorial :I really do love the more detailed B/W images that Ignacio has over on his site and this one is from the "About Fairies and Angels" set...

...and I just love being able to add my own colours...

...although, this image probably took the longest to complete of all the ones that I did at the crop because the lighting in the function room isn't that great. Even though I took a work-light with me...

...it was still quite difficult to see all the elements of the image...

...but I adore the finished result...

...and the twinkle on the wings and the spider's web.

The image came from this set...

Easter Egg (Decoupage Technique)

Wenche at ny DT did this unique and all pover so crative Easter Egg,, so I am showing her fantastic work to you: I have decorated an Easter egg today, using an untreated pappegg, gesso spray, Nice Crane Designs motif printed on tissue paper and decoupage technique.

I sprayed egg white with gesso spray and let it dry. So I attached silk sheet with the printed design on the egg with matte decoupage lacquer. The lace I have attached along the edge are from Marianne Design and chipboard-swirls are from Wycinanka.

Butterfly & Flowers

Sharon was working with my Butterflies and flowers sheets,,, to offer you these gorgeus Christian Cards,,,,  love  them,love them,,,wow,wowww :Mrs A. Butterfly challenge required yellow and any number of butterflies, thought of this image and away I went! used CB folder "Daisies", SB Fancy Oval for image (detailed with frosted yellow chalk + glossy accents), SB oval petites and Fancy labels 3 for greeting, ribbon and pearls. Bible verse stamp is from Our Daily Bread, so entering it also in their challenge.

Using the Nicecrane Vintage Butterfly and Blossoms set on both cards. Below is the card I was working on my desk late Wednesday, is already winging its way to England. Made with CB Kassie's Brocade larger folder, SB Beaded Ovals for image, (Panpastel dusting on open areas before removing die), greeting in SB Fancy labels, EK Success Arrow punch used with ribbon and pearls.

I made it into an Easter card as the Bible verse digi stamp is about the Good Shepherd from Word Art Wednesday, and thought it appropriate.

Here is the verse here if you would like it.

Verse is by Karen of Word Art Wednesday, see here. Right Click on it to save it.I wrote a poem to go inside my friends card .. and although not brilliant, you are welcome to sue it for your Easter cards if you wish.

The Flower Book

I love Nature and Flowers ,so inspired by the famous book "The Flower Book" illustrated by Nellie Benson,,,,I have desinged a new sheet to crate unique and vintage "Flower Book". I asked to Toni in my Dt to color my digi Stamp Sheet ,,,,and here is her stunning work:

In the history of men's love for God or for God's creatures there comes one hour of divine uplifting when a symbol must stand for the unspoken word. That symbol is ever a flower. There is a path of flowers through all science. In order that each flower of my little story book should not masquerade in vain meaningless garments or sing to empty words, I have sought the help of many wiser than I in this knowledge born of sympathy with nature. So this little book is not entirely a fairy-tale. "

This little miss is holding a Wind-flower...

...which I decided to colour in lavender shades...

.

..red hair again for this little miss. However, have you noticed how dark the 'grass' area is? This was down to the poor lighting and picking up the wrong shade of green. The dress was coloured using more purply shades...

...which seemed to work well with the lavender of the flower...

.

..and by using the blender pen on the 'grass', the shading was taken back to a better colour.
This is the image that I started with...

I enjoy watching the famous "Heidi" TV serie and all over reading the famous book by  Johanna Spyri. So i have designed a special adorable new Digi Stam Sheet for you "Heidi Illustrations by J. Willcox" and you can enjoy the work by Carole working wit this new sweet Sheet:

Heidi Book illustrated by J. Willcox

Digis included in my collection

Heidi Intro (TV Serie)

Well making this card brought back childhood memories of reading the book and watching the TV series, which I remember really well for some reason..probably the goats, all my childhood TV memories seem to revolve around series where animals featured...Black Beauty, White Horses, Belle and Sebastian (all of which I later discovered where old even when I watched them!) and my favourite of all, Follyfoot!

I chose a shaped card with an open pattern around the sides and top, which I decided to thread some gingham ribbon through. I coloured the image with promarkers and die cut using Spellbinders Labels 17. I used the little flowers from the window box die (by Tonic) that I have been using lately, die cut some leaves and cut some grass freehand, then I coloured them all with promarkers and brushed the edges with distress inks. I also die cut and punched some extra flowers. To finish off I added some little gingham buttons.

I hope you enjoy ma latest Sheet:
