Ella Ballerina!

Hello everyone!
Check out this cutsie elephant that I have used on my card. I took this image from the same colouring pages website that I take all my images from. I am not a big fan of elephants but this dancing elephant caught my eye! She is just so freakin adorable! Muaah! Kisses to her! I have named her Ella Ballerina! LOL

Oh well, the flowers... hand drawn (again). I used marker on the red one to give it a deeper look, the light gray one is coloured with a very light gray colour pencil and the last one was left as it is. I made several dots on it as they were looking so dull and "not so cute" without the filling.

I coloured the elephant with a couple of shades of gray and then I applied charcoal pearl paint on it to give it a sparkly look (sheen). I painted the skirt and the ballerina shoes with poster paint.

Finally a Challenge!

While I was stalking Bev of "All the things I love", I found this challenge blog "Stamp Something". Summer is the theme for the challenge this week. So here is my summery card.

The BIG two layered flower is hand drawn and hand cut and Ive dyed the paper myself. The black scallop shaped thingy is drawn by a help of a compass, making several circles. I have added gold sequence bail to give it a nice touch.

The cutie bee is from colouring pages. I have outlined it with embossing paste and then sprinkled glitter on it. Coloured it with markers this time.

The yellow background was looking too yellow so I used my black colour pencil to shade it a bit.

Another Desktop Card!

Here is the original card. Is it not the cutest card?! I really wanted to make one like this and so I did, with minor changes of course. I have no idea who is the card designer, if anyone knows the designer please let me know. I would never want to take credit for someone else's work. It takes a lot of patience and hard work to create such nice cards and it hurts even more if someone does not give you credit. I am specifically saying thanks to the person who designed and made this card. It is a wonderful creation. I love it. I hope you do not mind if I copied your card. If you do, please do not hesitate to let me know. I will pull it off immediately.

Okay so after all the thanks and praise to the owner of the original design. Here is my card.

I know it's a pathetic copy :P but I tried! LOL

The little birdie and flowers are hand drawn. I think they are stamps in the original one. All credit to the designer of the stamps as well.

You can note the differences easily. If I start explaining I know there be lots of eye rolling! :P

Been Busy...

Hey peepz, I have not been uploading cards or taking part in challenges as most of my cats are not well. The weather is changing and it always affects them.
I manage to “complete” one card today. I have been working on it since my last post, but I was not getting the time to finish it.
Anyhow, it’s really a simple card. No flowery stuff from me this time lol
I have cut strips of paper and coloured them with a colour pencil. Glittered the odd ones with transparent glitter.
I have always loved the buckle thingy or whatever you talented ladies call it. So I took a piece of paper and made two cuts with the help of a blade/knife, inserted the ribbon in one and out from the other.

The design on the circle is drawn by me. And then coloured with two three shades of brown, same background colour and slightly glittered.

I did not paste the entire circle, just a glue dot at the center and lifted it up a bit.

See simple! :)
