Two Special Cards for Two Special Challenges......

Hi I have two cards for you tonight and both are very special...the first one is for
my very favourite weekly challenge Lili of the Valley...I just love these stamps and have loads now..I even have some I havent inked up yet!!! anyway..this weeks challenge is Autumn and I knew instantly which stamp I wanted to use for this...here she is...

I wanted to make this lovely Bouquet Fairy look like an Autumn leaf so I used my Polychromo Pencils with Sansodor as I knew I could get the blending of the colours just so..the DP is from a Prima Pad - Fairy Flora...just the thing for this lovely fairy...I added some WO gorgeous roses and believe it or not but I hadnt even edin my box to see what I had to go with the DP's until after I put the card together and I was so pleased that I found these as they were made for this theme...after I glued them on the card I realised that I forgot to spray them with Glimmer mist..so I took a chance and edthem as they are on the card and prayed that I didnt ruin it...lol..it worked thankfully and then I sprinkled with Glamour dust and boy does she sparkle...lol..I finished with a lush organza ribbon and loads of pearls...do go and check out the DT creations they are really lovely and very inspiring...
and my next card is for PaperTake Weekly Challenge who are celebrating their 3rd Birthday..Yay!!!...Congratulations Papertake Team!!!...they would like you to chose your very fav challenge from the past 3 years...well when I first started my blog back in April 2009 PaperTake was one of the first challenges I plucked up the courage to take part and I went back through my blog to see what the challenge was..and is was Spots & Stripes...so I have chosen this for my card today...

I have used a sweet Tilda and she is coloured with Promarkers...I have used my new MS Vintage Doily punches and I totally love them..added a few WO Roses and loads of bling and sparkll...now the DP's are a bit of a mixture..the Stripey one is from Memory box..but the lovely mint spotty one I havent a clue where it is from as it was a lovely scappy bit I found in my stash.
Papertake are having a Birthday Blog Hop too..so why dont you pop over and have some fun...
Happy Crafting....

Allsorts Challenge - Travel/Holiday

Ok guys..now you are going to have to use your imagination for this...over at Allsorts this week...one of my very fav Challenge...the theme is travel....I chose this 'old' Tilda as she looked very Parisien to me...(ok if you screw your eyes up a bit...lol) well she is wearing a beret...lol...I bought the DP's from Craftworks when I was at Ally Pally..its their brand new range - Oh La La..and its very french..and totally gorgeous...I bought a couple of other bits from the range to compliment the DP's..anyway I thought they would be perfect for this challenge..Tilda is coloured with Copics..I distressed the edges with DI but I think I might have over done it a bit..it is the first time i tried it this way...I added some WOC roses...pearls...sparkle and I used my very new MS punch Vintage Doily... that the MB (Much Beloved) bought me...actually he also bought the matching border punch and I cant wait to have a go at that too!!! Now do go and check out the DT creations over at Allsorts...truly lovely...I am alos entering this for Just Magnolia - Anything Goes...

Edit...since taking the pic and writing this post..my darling boy...Ollie...the sweet cute innocent Yorkie whose pic is on the side bar..has jumped on my chair at my desk and nicked the card and chewed darling Tilda to oblivion...poor Tilda...

and poor Ollie when I get my hands on him....lol..he is on my bed now with his head down looking up at me with those BIG brown eyes..as if he's saying...'I didn't do it' unfortunately for him bits of brown card are still in his mouth ...bless him (thru gritted teeth)...lol...

Hmmmmmmmmmm.............

Finally......

Hi all..I hope this finds you well....and not succumbed to this awful cold that is going around..yes I am one of its victims and so is my poor Mum...and today is the first day that I have felt well enough to come on line... and I have soooo much catching up to do....so better get a hot toddy and or in my case.. a Lemsip..and pull up a chair...lol..
Ok... the first card is my DT card for PlayPlay...this week they want to see a hidden extra on your creation...and this is my card...

I used a cute Pergamano Fairy stamp that I bought at Ally Pally last week...as well as the DP's which is a pad by Heidi Grace..really lovely...the Fairy is coloured with Copics and sparkled..I used EK Success border punches...MS Butterfly punch..and loads of gems..now my hidden extra is in the little pocket on the bottom part of the easel card..inside is the sentiment on a tag..I did take a pic showing a closer look but it came out huge so I wont post that here...I hope it has inspired you to join in the challenge this week...
My next card is my DT card for Stampin' for the Weekend..this weeks theme is Autumnal Colours..now I hunted through all my images and found this little cutie..

the thing is I don't know where he is from..but he certainly looks like he's having fun...I have the same problem with the DP's but the green gingham is Nitwits...I kept it quite simple and just added some card candy and a gingham bow...I know there is a lot of challenges out there with the same colour themes..but I do hope you will join us this week...
I'll be back a little later with some challenge cards...
Keep warm...
Hugs Jan..
