Polar bear - C.C. Designs

How cute is this little guy!?! I just LOVE him and to add to what you can see I have added a wobbler to his head so he really moves :D You can get your hands on him in my store HERE. He was so easy to colour and to give you an idea of size he is on a 5 x 5 card. The beautiful frame die that I have used you can also get in my store it is from Lea - bilities and is HERE. I have inked through the dies as well to give it a bit of colour and for my inking I used Dreamweaver brushes and Salty Ocean distress ink. I thought I would add a bit of sparkle so put some Glamour dust on to I hope look a bit like snow. The paper I have used is from the Dovecraft back to basics modern pack and then to finish it off I added some clear gems for a bit more sparkle.

Peony - Kraftin' Kimmie

For this card I have used loads of thing available from the shop... from the  5 x 5 card blank and a white ATC to the beautiful Kraftin' Kimmie's Peony stamp coloured with spectrum noir pens. Not forgetting the Magestic purple liquid pearls I added to the gorgeous Stampin' up border punch, the papers are from Papermania's Capsule collection. The ribbon is from my stash but the gem hearts are from my shop.

This beauty is called Arianna. I have coloured her with the following spectrum noir pens:

Skin: TN2, EB1, FS6

Hair: IB1, TB1

Tail: TB9, TB6, BT7, IB3

Sand: GB1, LY1, CT3

Seahorses: TN3, TN2, TN1

The papers are from Papermania's capsule collection and DCVW metallic papers. I have used Salty ocean distress ink which is part of the limited edition Summer set to ink round the 5x5 scalloped card blank. The beautiful fancy black washi tape is from the Marianne D music set. Then to finish it off I have used some platinum liquid pearls, black diamond stickles, Turquoise stickles and heart gems. 

Warm Heart

I have a few cards to show you today using one of the adorable stamp sets you can get your hands on in our store and they are coloured with Spectrum pens that you can also get in the store :D

I figured I better get started on some Christmas cards and couldn't resist these little cuties. The stamp is called  Warm Heart and is just £3.99. I have coloured them with the following Spectrum pens:

Coat and bows in her hair: DR7, DR3, CR9

Hair: TN6, GB4, CT3

Skin: TN2, EB1 and FS6

Boots and gloves: GB10, TN3

Penguins: IG9, IG3, IG1 and CT4 for their beaks and feet

 These next 2 I thought I could do a little set of and they are so quick and simple to do. I have just repeated the little penguin stamps across a card then layers them on the blue and black added some gems and they are pretty much done. I am going to have a play with different colours too as think they could look quite cute with pink instead of the blue.

The penguins have been coloured in the same spectrum's as the previous card.

Nellie Snellen Stamp

For my card I've used one of the Nellie Snellen stamps called  "Sweet Elin Star", colored with Copics, she was cut out using the Marianne D  Stencil Heart Die, with the largest one being the mat behind. The gorgeous paper is from the First Edition  Spring Feast paper pad, and mounted on the Dovecraft 6x6 Scalloped  Cards. I've also used the Creative Expressions "Victorian Metal Corner", I love these corners, and didn't really want to part with one on my card, they are gorgeous. I've also added some Stardust Stickles to the wings of this little cutie.

Pippa Popcorn

I've created my card using Pippa Popcorn from Kraftin' Kimmie, now normally these aren't my type of images, but when I saw her, I just had to buy her as I thought she was cute behind all that popcorn. I've added pearls in the corners for a bit of bling.

I've colored her with Copics, and used a couple Spellbinders nesties for the shape. The lovely cream paper behind is from a Christmas paper pack from First Edition but it was the perfect color to go with my card and image. I've used  the new C. C. Designs leafy branch and olive branch dies. I love the look of these. I also created a matching popcorn box, filled with popcorn (well it was filled until the picture was taken, then I kindly shared it with Kody my doggy)
