DDCC piccie inspiration Challenge

Good morning blogger friends!!!

Its time to share our new challenge at Dutch Dare.....

we have a..............picci inspiration theme

Photo Inspiration pict below-theme-floral, wedding, Halloween, colors-orange, green and purple, etc. Picture from

 http://blog.afloral.com/inspiration-boards/halloween-wedding-inspiration-orange-calla-lilies/attachment/halloween-inspiration-orang-2/
here is the piccie the design team have used

I chose the orange/purple/green/flowers part of the picture for my inspiration when i made this card,

I have a few absolute fave digi designers and kenny k are one of my faves lol, for this challenge our lovely boss kelly is cponosring the challenge,

I took this pic to show the bling that ive added, now when i say bling i  just mean shed loads of gems lol,

And again at this angle, i wanted better flowers on the card but didnt have the colours i wanted so i used my punches which were gathering dust and punched out flowers in soordinated paper stock,

 The papers were from a old paper stack i got from a craft fayre so no actual brand on them, but they are all these colours inside, i really like them and will be gutted when ive used them all,

 

I am going to enter this card into lots of challenges lol,

It has been a few days

Good morning guys, well whats left of it!!!!!

Its been nearly a week since i last posted!!! wow lol i have been so busy making up orders and getting ready for our summer fayre at school organising my own stall and the whole day as if you may remember im on the ptfa and its busy busy busy lol,

-

Ive also just come back from the Boots staff shop and bought lots of top notch goods lol it was friends and family day and my lovely ang took me with her lol, i got loads and loads of fcuk and other top brands including gift sets and all for the measly sum of £54 lol probs worth nearly £200 if id have bought it from the shop!!!!!!

-

Any way back to craft lol one of my orders was for a little girl who loves anything to do with princesses and hello kitty, she was going to be 6 and loves girly pinks!!!! anyway i wanted to make something a bit special but didnt have hello kitty in my stash, so i googled copyright free images and printed this hello kitty princess off lol,

 i coloured her in with my promarkers and popped some glossy accents and stickles on her to give her that Bling factor,

the papers are from the dovecraft basics III they are lovely,

I got out my old sizzix alphabet dies and dusted them off, and popped her name on the card which i think always goes down well, added lots and lots of flowers, some pretty pins with thier caps tightly on lol and along with more stickles some dewdrop gems, some stampin up ribbon and voila lol,

If you cant tell in pic the whole easel card is A5 in size so a decent size as well.

I was really nervous wether her mummy would be pleased with it but she loved it!!!!! PHEW

Here is a close up of the image, it didnt print brilliantly but with the promarkers and glitters etc it looked ok when i had finished with it lol

Another close up of her glittered name, the font i think is called lipstick from the sizzix range, and that sentiment i had in my stash was a gift from god lol, and was perfect for the theme,

What do you think??? I wasnt 100% ok with it but the recipient loved it so now so do i lol.
