Challenge prize badge

If you use a TPS image in your creation you will receive the full $30 to spend on their gorgeous designs, and if you haven’t used a TPS image then you will win 3 Digis of your choice from their site.

The Paper Shelter have just released a new image that was perfect for this challenge so I just had to use it. It’s called Cool Student.

I’ve used the Pre-coloured image for my card.

P1050175

I sure hope this says ‘Back to School’ as it’s not a big thing here in Australia so I’ve never made a card for this theme before.

My main card and layers have been cut using the Go Kreate XXL Square Frames Frilly #2 die. My main image has been printed onto Cryogen White card, cut out and layered using Stampin’ Up Oval Framelits. The same with my sentiment. I’ve added pearls to my paper layers and some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Here’s a close up of the image.

To You From Me…

Today is my first official post as part of the Fussy & Fancy Design Team.

How exciting!!!

Or challenge for you today is a Bingo challenge.

To play along you need to create a card/project and include a line from the Bingo board. You can use a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line.

I had fun with this one myself.

Originally I chose the bottom line of Flowers, Lace & Frantage but when my card was finished I could actually pick 4 different lines.

Here’s my creation.

P1050145

As you can see I have the Flowers, Lace & Frantage as mentioned but I could also use the diagonal line of Pearls, Lavender & Frantage, the top line of Pearls, Stitching & Message or even the centre vertical line of Stitching, Lavender & Lace.  How easy was that to incorporate a Bingo line in my card.

My image is one of the new Magnolia Pink Lemonade images called Tilda with Summer Pants. Isn’t she cute!. I have teamed her with some gorgeous papers by Maja Designs. This one is from their Vintage Spring Basics collection and is 8th April.

I’ve stamped my image onto Cryogen White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with my Copic Markers.

The colours I’ve used are: Skin – E11, E00, E000, R20 & R30; Hair – E47, E44, E42 & E40; Clothes – BV34, BV31, BV00, G24, G21 & G20; Shoes – C8, C6, C4, C2 & C00.

Here’s another picture.

P1050146

And a close up of the image…

P1050147

Supplies:
Stamps: Tilda with Summer Pants (Magnolia), And Many More…. (Stampin’ Up)
Card: Wisteria Wonder (Stampin’ Up), Cryogen White Cardstock
Paper: 8th April – Vintage Spring Basics (Maja Designs)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Pop on over to the Fussy & Fancy Challenge site to see what the rest of the DT have created to inspire you then pick a line and get creating and join in the fun.

I’m entering my card into the following challenges:

Marvelous Magnolia – #74 Tilda + any sentiment
