Hi Folks. its Wednesday and that means its a new challenge form

The theme is hand made flowers

We were given the following brief

Make you own flowers- and tell us how

Flowers made from fabric, lace, paper, layered.....whatever 

Our sponsor is

A&T Digital Designs -

 2 Digis of winner's choice

So here is my card

I cut my petals with a leaf punch then folded them over a paint brush . I punched a small circle of card put silicon glue in the centre and made the flowers up around that.

To finish the flower off I quilled a circle .

To make up the card I used a large  ornate oval spellbinder cut from Centura pearl, that was mounted on a 5 x 7 card blank. The vase is a spellbinder die and the leaves are a stampin up die. To finish the card off i threaded black ribbon and added creative expression pearls to the corners of the card.

Thanks you so much for visiting

challenge from

The sponsor is

the winner will receive a $10 gift voucher.

Our theme 
for this challenge is Teddy Bears Picnic

I decided to literally go for the Teddy bears picnic idea.

I coloured the image  with Promarkers and decoupaged the teddy on the picnic mat. I used my brushes and distress inks for the background. To finish off the image I used glossy accents on the water melon & bee.

I cut the image out with spellbinder die and then cut  a corresponding aperture out of the base card and embossed the card blank.

I added 3 little buttons and a tiny ribbon bow tie to finish the card off.

My First Pick of the week

Hi Folks it's Tania here with my first pick of the week.

I am so glad to join the team here at the Dragons Den.

The image that I have used has come from the fabulous Stamping Dragon Designs Shop .

There are some fabulous images that you can purchase and once you buy one you will be hooked.

For my first image I have chosen

a wonderful

Christmas image

the Holly & Wild Rose Bauble

and made up a classic Christmas card

I sized the image to the 5 x 8 cm which gives me 12 image per sheet, I coloured the bauble with Promarkers  and decoupaged the wild roses.

The Images are mounted on 3d foam a gem added to the hanger and suspended off a gold peel off.

I used an embossed 6 x 6 pearlised card mounted onto a 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 card mounted on to a 7 x 7 inch card blank in black. To finish the card off I added a bow and edged the card in gold glitter peel offs.

Hope you liked my card made with the beautiful bauble image.

Make sure you pop on over to the Shop and have a browse , there is a great selection of Christmas Images available for you to choose from.

We also have a Stamping Dragon Facebook Group , where we have lots of fun , inspiration for you , mini challenges and lots , lots more, so why not come over and see us.

Well that's  it from me for today, Gwyneth  will be bringing you the next

 Pick of the Week next Monday ,

Hogs N Kisses

Hi Folks its Sunday, where do the weeks keep going, 

its now less than 60 days to Christmas.

Today here is my  inspiration,

 using the New release

Hogs N Kisses 

from Imagine That

The sentiment is from the same set that I have changed the colour in Paint.net. Thanks to Kris telling me how to do it.

and I asked Kris to draw it and it is wonderful

This weeks theme is 
Inspired by a Film
I decided to go for Alice in Wonderland

The clock reminds me of the White rabbit the large leaves look like Tweedledum & Tweedledee, the top leaf is like Alice falling and the checker board is like the table cloth.

to the stopwatch and leaves.

To create the background I used a Stamps Away mask and added gilding wax to the embossed area.
