New Girl on the Blog :-)

I have just been to visit Carly's Fabulous Blog ,,,she is 17 and has only just started her blog so I thought I would give you all the link so you can all go and welcome her to this fabulous Blogland :-)

Stamp Something ,,, Celebration ,,,

Time for a new theme over on the Stamp Something Challenge

ITS A CELEBRATION !!

We are spoonsored by Sweet'n Sassy Stamps so a wonderful prize of gorgeous digi images on offer :-) The DT were given a choice of images to use too ,,,thanks Korin and Dan :-)

For my card I chose to use 3 images from the Olivia Celebrates set. The Owl, the Scroll and the Cap. I also followed the fab sketch on the Sweet Stop Challenge



It is graduation time so I thought this card might come in handy ,,, not that I know anyone who is graduating ,,, but ,,, someone might buy it :-) I coloured the image with Copics and decoupaged the Owl ,, cut around her feathered hands and popped the scroll in, I then added some glossy accents to her beak and tallons :-) The papers are PERFECT !! guess what they are called !! Olivia by Basic Grey !! :-) I inked the background with Stormy Sky Distress ink and then added star dust stickles around the edge. I punched some leaves for her to sit on using a McGill punch, added some green Robins Nest Dew Drops and a Simon Says Stamp exclusives stamp for the sentiment.

Did you ever do this when you were kids ,,, in an old tractor tyre ?? hanging on for dear life as you hurtled down the edge of the slag heap lol :-),, simple fun eh !! ( for those of you who don't know what a slag heap is ,, it's a mountain of stones and bits of coal,, the waste from coal mines :-)) nice memories ,,,,, ha ha apart from when you fell off and skinned yer knees and knuckles ,, anyway ,,, moving on ,,,, :-)
I used my lovely new HM stamp ,, this one is called Head over Heels I coloured the image with copics and added glossy accents and rock candy distress stickles to the berries. The papers are Cosmo Cricket Nutmeg papers ( love these papers ,, brill for autumn cards ) I added some organza ribbon, a rose and a few Robins Nest Dew Drops to finish ,, the sentiment is from a Pure Innocence stamp.
