Paper Nest Dolls August Inspiration Post

Today I'm back again to share a little inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls blog.

This is Avery with her balloon and as always I coloured her with my Spectrum Noir Colour Blend pencils.

I little bit of a shaped card from me today too!

I used loads of different layers of papers from my scraps box to match in with the colour of her dress.

I finished of with lads of lovely flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Have a great day!

Petal Lu Challenge - Orange

Hi my lovelies,

I'm back again this time with my inspiration post for the Petal Lu August Challenge and this month it is Anything goes with the option of using Orange flowers!

Prize is a 30% Discount to spend in store 

Here is what I made this month:

I used the super cute Navajo Anya digital stamp by The Greeting Farm and you can find her here.

I coloured her up with my Spectrum Noir Colour Blend Pencils.

The papers are by Lilybee Designs and are called Autumn Spice.

Of course I finished of with my Orange, yellow and peach Petal Lu flowers.

The sentiment is from MFT and how could I make a card without some faux stitching!

Hope you have a great day!

Hugs xx Cara xx

Crafter's Companion - Dark Colorista New Release

Hi lovelies,

Just a sneaky post in between DT work to share my samples for he launch of the new Colorista series which is coming to Hochanda as a one day special starting tomorrow at 6pm and throughout Tuesday.

There are 6x6 pads, Bookmark pads and small tag pads in the theme's - Floral Bouquet, Moroccan and Steampunk...... I had the Floral selection to play with.

I used the Colorista metallic pencils to colour everything:

I made a gift box using all of the pads, the 6x6 is on the lid with the bookmarks on the sides, the small tags used to embellish the box.

I decorated a hairband and a hairclip with the Tag and Bookmark pads which I coloured up an fussy cut, adding bling and ribbon to finish off.

This is a 6x6 card made by fussy cutting the centre out, matting and layering and then adding a sentiment and rather large bow :)

Finally I made a simple bookmark:

I coloured the tag, matted onto co-ordinating Centura pearl and added a bow to finish.

I hope you like my samples, tune in tomorrow to see some more amazing samples from my DT friends.
