A cocktail is lots more naughty

 Sharing a card for my niece featuring Mochi Party Girl from Stamping Bella.

Can’t quite believe my niece is 19 already but means that she’s off the ‘present’ list and on the ‘my shout for a drink’ list, making me feel very old indeed!

I’m playing along at Fusion where I’m working the fusion, I’ve followed their sketch for my layout and also got fruit on my card.  I went with the lemon slice, a stamp from the Lemon Zest set by Stampin’ Up!, on the rectangle element to match one of the Mochi Girl’s drinks.  Not sure it shows up in the photo at all but I ringed her glass and edged the black cardstock in Rock Candy glitter to resemble the sugar rim of a lemon drop martini, which I’m thinking is the naughty cocktail Mochi Girl is drinking.  And, yep, you guessed it, my niece is a beautiful red head.

I’ve also taken inspiration from The Card Concept and their Dog Days of Summer photo.  The lovely bright colours of the photo had me riffling through my paper stash to find the rainbow glitter paper and the coloured Bling on a Roll.

With my blingy embellies I am also linking up at Dream Valley going with the gem half of their current theme.

Sharing a fun shaker card featuring a NBUS stamp, Mochi Donut Girl, from Stamping Bella.

 

I’m really wishing now I’d bought some of those sprinkle shaker elements but I didn’t so had to go with plain old sequins on my shaker.  I made the background for it using alcohol inks, was trying to go for a donut dough colour for the sequins to then be the sprinkles on top.  Made the frame using a Lawn Fawn scallop die for a bit more of a fun shape.  I’m shaking this card up so I could play along at Inkspirational, with a pretty literal interpretation of their cue word, which, you guessed it, is shake.

 

And I’ve gone with Donut Girl because she is eyeing off that awesome plate of donuts and donuts are really yummy.  But yummy or not, they’re food and that’s what they want to see at My Time To Craft.

 

My layout is also from a challenge, this time Fab Friday, a new sketch challenge discovery.  Love sketches so I’ve got them bookmarked that’s for sure.  I didn’t add in the sentiment element but rather subbed my image for the banner but was inspired by the ribbon element to raid my embellie stash and tie up a fun knot using some Mizuhiki paper cords.

…you ought to seriously re-examine your life

Sharing a card featuring one of the curvy girls from Stamping Bella, this one is called Gardener.

Over at Allsorts they have a twist to their challenge to be inspired by the challenge prize, being a stamp set from Rare Earth.  The stamp set features lovely garden elements, which made me think about all the floral stamp sets I own.  They would have been good for the friend whose birthday this is for but then I also saw the prompt at Addicted to CAS.  This stamp is so the style of my friend, who loves to potter around in the garden but manages to look effortless glamourous doing it, even if she is in denim overalls!

For the layout of my card I’ve used the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  My stamped image takes the place of the rectangular element and rather than circle elements I used an inlaid die cut flower for one and a cluster of butterfly sequins and Bitty Gems for the other two.
