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!

Fussy and Fancy Featured Guest Designer for Challenge #142-Fancy Folds

Hello once again!

********

The Fussy and Fancy girls

are back to introduce

our very talented

Featured
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!

Fussy and Fancy Challenge 142 - Fancy Folds

Happy Friday
Fussy and Fancy followers!

********

Our challenge for the next
fortnight is hosted by our

very sweet and talented

Norma

Hello.

My name is Norma and when it comes to card-making I am definitely a

Fussy and Fancy kind of gal.

I simply love adding embellishments to my cards. The hardest type of cards for me to create is actually when I have to make CAS (clean and simple) cards and have to restrain myself from embellishing...ha ha.

My cards tend to feature images (rubberstamps or digitals) that I like to colour with alcohol-ink markers and/or coloured pencils. My favorite embellishments are flowers, pearls and swirls/flourishes. I'm a die-and-punch addict--spent way too much money on them...lol. Love to make my own paper flowers. I also love doing fancy fold cards and that's why I chose this theme for the challenge.

The challenge Norma has chosen is:

Fancy Folds

Here is the gorgeous card
that Norma has created
for her challenge!

Norma
Using Marianne Design Creatables LR0111 Flowers, LR0151 Garden Branch,
LR0122 Poinsettia With Veins

Norma, Your card is absolutely GORGEOUS!

I can't stop staring at and admiring the hair that you coloured!

Its so very gorgeous! Your colouring is beautiful and the

handmade flowers you created with the Marianne Design creatables are so lovely!

What a very fancy and elegant fold you have created to share

with all of us!

Your card is stunning!

When you pop over to Norma's blog you are in for a huge

treat! Pour yourself a nice cup of tea or coffee

so you can enjoy admiring all her lovely creations!

Norma will be choosing the

Top 5 Winners

for this challenge!
