Miss information

Ok its been a little while but time to enter some more challenges.
 This one is going in the following challenges
(if you would like a closer look just click on the picture)

I have used a Kraftin Kimmie stamp called "Miss Information" to create a graduation card for a student teacher (thought it was super appropriate). I have coloured her using inktense pencils.
The cardstock used is all from kaisercraft and i used my cameo to cut the frames.
The card fold i used is a centre step card fold.
Turned out pretty well i think

Toodles,

elves are watching

The elves are watching and tell santa everything :)

(if you would like a closer look just click on the picture)

I had this image for a while and remember it was a freebie from somewhere. It took a while but i tracked it down to Whimsie Doodles. It is their digital image called "elves are watching girl"
I have coloured her with inktense pencils and mounted her on a centre stair fold card.
I cut a couple of candycane shapes and embossed the white stripes on them.
Turned out pretty cute i think :)

This fun card is being entered in the following challenges

and
(if you would like a closer look just click on the image)

Not the best photography today, sorry, but nevertheless you can see my creation just not in the best light.
Kraftin Kimmie is looking for new Krafty Girls to show off their great stamps and since i love their stamps so much i thought i would give it a go, fingers crossed.
I have used one of their fab stamps "Ruby the Ringmistress" and coloured her using derwent inktense pencils.

I have made a standard easel card and used my cameo to cut out the intricate frame which stands out in red on the card.
I used kaisercraft cardstock and paper. The little tickets were from my stash (i got them cheap from a store ages ago which was closing down)
The sentiment stamp "you're the main attraction" came with the Ruby Ringmistress stamp from kraftin kimmie and the happy birthday sentiment is computer generated.
Hope you like :)

Nevaeh

 Here is another of my cards i have made to enter the Mildura show
I am also entering this card into Loves Rubber stamps challenge #70- Anything goes

I have gone step by step to show you how i create my little creations :)
If you would like a closer look just click on the photos



I have used a saturated canary digi stamp called Nevaeh. 
I purchased this stamp ages ago and this is the first time i have coloured her up.

I used derwent inktense pencils, as always, to colour her.
She is a sweet little thing ins't she :)

Here is the card complete embellished with flowers from my stash, whimsy farm twine and martha stewart branch punch outs and a small flourish die cut.  The doily die cut was cut with my cameo.
The papers and cardstock are all from kaisercraft.

The fold i think is called a butterfly fold and i love making this style card.
