I love this image. It's so funky and different, dontcha think? Stamp is by (who else?) Stamping Bella coloured with lyra and watercolour pencils and a sponged background. I added Glossy Accents to the red baubles/lamp fringe and a touch of Stickles here and there. Papers are by Stampin Up. Little star die is the tiny tags die from Papertrey Ink (I love that set so much, am using it on nearly every card!!) Sentiment is Waltzing Mouse.
I think I saved the best til last as far as the sneak peeks go. I think this is my favourite card of all my makes for the new release. It's Scuba Riley! I've made a little shaker card with glitter and beads. I coloured him with copics and paper pieced his swimming trunks. I used the seabed from the Mermaid Sophie image. I PC-generated the sentiment.
Close up! How cute does he look?!
Another close up! Papers by MME.
My final card for this release is Showgirl Sophie! How glam does she look?! I coloured her with copics, lyra pencil for ground shadow. I cut off the stamped piece of her head-dress to add a real feather. Papers are glittery and by DCWV. I added silver mirror board to add more glitz and some gorgeous bling!
Lots of glitter on her train and little outfit!
First up is Hollywood Star Riley! I love this image, it's so versatile and can especially be used for kids' cards. I've coloured with copics. Paper is by Stampin Up. Nestie star used in the background.
Close up! Definately the star!
Second up is Map Riley. I've made this for a friend's birthday. He actually lives in Canada now so I think Riley combined with the sentiment is just perfect!! As usual, coloured with copics with lyra ground shadow and I sponged the background. Papers by MME.
How cute is he????! He's definately pondering over that map!!!
Close up! I used red hot fix crystals for a bit of glam and Stickles on the little lights around the Vegas sign.
Loving this funky ribbon too! :0)
Here is my DT card. I used this gorgeous little image by MFT- I love these stamps, they remind me of Bod. Do you remember Bod- the children's cartoon?! I used to love that show, especially when you had to guess what flavour milkshake was drunk at the end?!!!! If you don't remember it, I must sound mad!! ha ha.
Usual close up! What a cutie!!
Check out Riley hang-gliding on vacation! I coloured him with copics and sponged the sky background. Papers are by October Afternoon.
Close up!
This is such a great image for male cards. I made this for a friend of ours who likes to have a little gamble! I coloured Riley with copics and added shading with lyra pencils. I added the "Vegas" with rubs ons. I chose these fabulous papers by Echo Park because they remind me of Las Vegas especially the main background paper- doesn't it look like poker chips?!
Usual close up!
Doesn't he look like he's having a whale of a time?! I coloured Riley with copics and added Glossy Accents to the water. Papers are by October Afternoon- I used the light blue paper around the image because I thought it looked like swimming pool tiles. I made the top sentiment on my PC and die cut the "splash".
Usual close up!
I used this gorgeous digi image available from Stamping Boutique. I coloured with usual mixture of lyra & watercolour pencils and copics and I added some hints of Stickles here and there. Papers are by Fancy Pants "it's the little things". The sentiment was a rub on I've had for yonks by Papermania I think.
I made this card for one of our friends. It's called Beer Peeps from Stamping Bella and I love the sentiment on it "Happy Beerday"! I coloured with a mixture of lyra and watercolour pencils. Because it had a lime in it, I decided it must be a Corona so I tried to colour it as such. I think this will be a useful stamp as hubbie and all his friends drink Corona when they get together. Papers are by Basic Grey. The star strip die is a Die-namics by MFT, the star is a nestie. I decided to "dress" the card by adding a Corona and slice of lime!
Usual close up. Hope you can see, I added Glamour Dust to the beer bottle to get the look of condensation and Stickles to the lime. I think you can still add glitter to a male card!
So I used Topiaryabella from Stamping Bella. I coloured her with usual mix of lyra and watercolour pencils and added warm copic shadow. I LOVE her dress!! I paper pieced it with these gorgeousness of papers by Basic Grey! 
Usual close up! I kinda feel that if Carrie from Sex and the City ever did gardening, this is what she would wear. What dyou think?!
Another close up!
So the challenge over at the lovely Sweet Stampin Challenge is "Cute and Cuddly". As I said I used this cute House Mouse stamp. I coloured with watercolour pencils and cut out using a nestie using a technique I found here. I did some paper piecing on the kite and sponged the background. These beautiful summery papers are by October Afternoon and are actually called "Fly a Kite"! The sentiment is Pink Petticoat punched out with a Stampin Up window punch.
Usual close up! Such a cute bunny! 
A big thanks to the ladies over at Fuzzy Wuzzy for my fab prize of $20 to spend at House Mouse. These are the 2 stamps I chose. One summery and one Christmasy!
The stamp is Tistheseasontobejollyabella from Stamping Bella. I've coloured her with a mixture of watercolour pencils and lyras, done some paper piecing and outlined with a warm copic. I also added some Christmasy glitter here and there. The paper is by Stampin Up.
Usual close up! I wish I looked that cool when I was Christmas shopping!
