Fairy Cake Frolics

I dug out an old Helz Cuppleditch stamp that hadn't seen ink for a while for this card, it always makes me smile.  I coloured the image with Promarkers and added Star Dust Stickles and Glamour Dust for a bit of fairy sparkle.

 The patterned paper is from a Papermania pad called The Little Cake Shoppe, it too has been in my stash for a long time.  The sentiment was stamped with a Lili of the Valley stamp from a sentiment verse set.  All the edges were inked with Ground Espresso Distress Ink for definition.
To embellish, I used a First Edition die set to make kitchen utensils and accessories, including a bright red Kitchen Aid stand mixer that I have long coveted.  I'll have to make do with a paper one for now!

Sleepy Santa

I'm trying to get back on track with my Christmas cards, I haven't made any for a few weeks, so I decided to ink up this cute Helz Cuppleditch stamp and get colouring with my Promarkers.

 I used spotty and stripy cardstock from Anna Marie Designs on this card, I didn't add too many layers as the image is large and quite detailed, I really enjoyed colouring this one.
To embellish, I added layered organza and spotty grosgrain ribbons with a matching bow, a Papermania Folk Christmas Sentiment, and some die cut holly made with Sue Wilson Dies, the berries were made with Nuvo Crystal Drops.
