Guest Designer

Laurigami

Here is a little bit about Laurigami...

My nickname is laurigami, I live in France.

I started in January 2013 to scrap.

In fact my 2 years old son fell seriously ill with an unknown disease so far,

he fought for three years to be able to walk normally again.

I started to scrap to think of something else.

I therefore uses the copic from the beginning,

and then ink Distress, distress markers ,

polychromos, Inktense pencils, Sennelier……….

I love to make my flowers as soon as I can.

Hugs laurigami

Laurigami had created not one but two GORGEOUS cards for our

How beautiful are these two cards??!!!

Laurigami it's fabulous that you have taken one image and made two different...

yet equally beautiful cards!!

Fussy and Fancy Challenge 143-Beach Fun

Happy Friday
Fussy and Fancy followers!

********

Our challenge for the next
fortnight is hosted by one of our
newest Fussy and Fancy Girls

the very sweet and super talented

Gina

Hi everyone this is my first posting as a DT member for this very talented team, I am thrilled and honored to be invited to join by the lovely Sheryl – thank you.

Scarily I am also hosting this challenge. Here is a little bit about myself:

I am Gina from Gina’s Cards and live in the South of England. I am married to Phil who is incredibly supportive of my hobby. I have two sons, the eldest Mike works for a large well known I.T. company and the youngest George is a Captain in the British Army. Both of them have now flown the nest.

I work at a local secondary school, but can be found beavering away in my craft room during the evening and weekends. I am very lucky to be on several design teams and I also guest design for a couple more too.

I started making cards around 8 years ago beginning with decoupage and found stamping a few years later, which I am now totally addicted to. My passion is colouring. I started with Copics, but my latest love is DI colouring. I love making easel cards and packing as many dies and embellishments onto them that I can.

The challenge Gina has chosen is:

Beach Fun

Here is the Gorgeous card
that Gina has created
for her challenge!

Gina

Gina, Your card is absolutely GORGEOUS!

I really love the aqua, yellow and pink combination!

Its so very pretty! Your colouring is beautiful and your

card is packed full with die cuts and stunning embellishments!

I love the bottle of sand, the shells and star fish!

Your card is stunning!

Gina will be choosing the

Top 5 Winners

Guest Designer

Kelly

Here is a little bit about Kelly...

Hi I'm Kelly and I started making cards several years ago now, just a few Christmas ones for family. I enjoyed doing them so much I started making birthday cards etc, I got hooked very quickly!

I love to colour, so I use stamped images on the majority of my cards, I have so many rubber stamps it's unreal! My favourite stamps are Penny Black, Lili Of The Valley and Wild Rose Studio and I also love using vintage photo images too.

The beginning of a new card starts with the image, then I choose my patterned papers, I try to colour my image to go with the papers and then the rest comes together once I've chosen which diecuts, paper punches and embellishments I'm going to use!
