Lollipop Ladies Challenge #8

It's time for another challenge over at the Lollipop Ladies - I've been asked to stay on as Design Team member for another three months which is just fabulous - I've really enjoyed these inspiration challenges.  I'm looking forward to inspiring you with more creations every two weeks and to share this with other fabulous girls too.  Pop over to the Lollipop Ladies blog to check out some of the new Candy Stripes.

On to the challenge now, we are up to #8 and it's all about Jelly Beans and adding Gloss. 

I was inspired by all the bright colours so I've created a fun card using a Swiss Pixie stamp by CC Designs and some colourful paper by Echo Park.

 The image has been coloured with Copics and I've added some glossy accent to the flowers and her boots.  I've used my Nesties - Labels 8 - love this die-cut shape!  And by poping the accent over to the side, I haven't covered up too much of the pretty paper.
Lastly, I've added some spotty green ribbon, tied off with a bright pink button from the Chip-Chop Shop!
Here's a closer look:

 Hope you like this card and I hope that you are inspired to join us for this fun challenge - the details are at the Lollipop Ladies Challenge blog - we look forward to checking out your work soon.

Lollipop Ladies Challenge

Hope you are all having a great week - today I have a card for the new challenge over at the Lollipop Ladies - this one is yummy and I'm sure everyone loves: Strawberries and Cream.  The bonus challenge is layering.

Here's my card:

 Strawberries and Cream reminds me of a tea-party with sponge cake and cupcakes and of course a good pot of tea!! 
So I've gone with this cute image - Cupcake Kikki -  CC Designs.  I've coloured with Copic Markers and used the Labels Eight Nestabilities to cut out.  The pattern paper is by Kaisercraft - Candy Lane Collection. The 6x6 paper pad comes with die-cuts too which I've used for the little tag.  I've added the sentiment 'celebrate' along with a rose and pearl string.
I've also added in some lace trim and two pearl brads.
Here's a closer look:

We would really love for you to join in with this weeks challenge - pop over to the Lollipop Ladies challenge blog to view all the details.  Look forward to seeing your fabulous creations.

The Lollipop Ladies - Challenge #1

It's finally here, the first challenge for The Lollipop Ladies.  We hope you will be inspired by the sweet fort-nightly challeges to create cards, scrapbooking LO's or other crafty projects!  The very first challenge is to create something using this sweet inspiration - a Banana Split and the bonus challenge is "Sprinkles".

Here's my card:

I drew my inspiration from the colours and the ice-cream!  I've used this sweet image by CC Designs - Sweet Kiki La Rue - she's been coloured with Copic Markers, then I've used the Nested Labels 3 to cut out and emboss.

Papers are by Stampin'Up and October Afternoon - I think the combination of yellow, pink and chocolate work well with this inspiration picture.

I've added some pink lace, a yellow doily, and glittery brads for the embellishments.

The ice-cream is a clear stamp from my stash, once again I've coloured with Copics, then cut out and added to the card. Lastly I've added in a sentiment and a Jenny Bowlin stick pin.

The bonus to the challenge was Sprinkles so I've added chunky glitter to both ice-creams - don't they look the yummiest.

Here's a closer look:

We would love you to join us in our first challenge.  All the details and inspiration from the Design Team can be found at The Lollipop Ladies blog.  Can't wait to see all the fabulous entries.
