Lady Gilli flourish card

*Please click on the picture for a closer view*

Andi here to share my card for our current challenge hosted by Melanie- flourishes! Now I have to admit I feel like I cheated as I chose paper that had flourishes hee hee. You can see them in the bottom left of the card and also below my sweet flying bird. I am obviously in need of some flourish dies ;). 

I used the lovely Lady Gilli on my card tonight and gave her a satin evening dress to go with my elegant card. I coloured her dress using the following copic colours- BG70, 72, 75, 78. I then added some crystal lacquer I had on hand to give it that satin sheen I just love. I had a satin shirt in the early 90's..it was in style then to be fair...and I just loved the way it felt against my skin and I like to imagine she is also enjoying the smooth silkiness of her evening dress. 

Well that's all for me today. I hope this helps to inspire you along with the other DT eye candy we have posted so that you play along with our current challenge. We would love for you to join us!!

Cheers, Andi 

Lady Gilli is ready for Halloween

I had soooo much fun getting Lady Gilli ready for Halloween and our current challenge of choosing any 3 of the colours purple, orange, green, black and white. Or if you are like me- all of them hee hee. First thing we did is colour her hair a fun shade of purple. Who wouldn't like to try purple hair- even for just one day. Fun! I then paper pieced her dress from some Authentique Halloween paper then covered the dress in glitter to give the web look some sparkle. 

My background paper is from a DCWV pack I grabbed a few year's back and keep using over and over again. I added a punched fence and some spooky bats to complete the card. Sooo...have you felt someone staring at you while you read this post? Me too...I think I see some strange eyes coming from the house on my card...weird ;). 

Hope you have some crafty time to play along with us and our challenge. We would love to see your creations! Cheers, Andi

Lady Gilli with some Bling!

Hi Everyone!!  It’s Wini from LooneyBugDesigns with your Bling Inspiration project today.  Be sure to check out all the Design Teams inspiration projects and enter your own project for a chance to win a great Gilli prize!

I started with Lady Gilli and added some bling with my Spica pens.  I love how versatile Gilli is.  You can add as much extra detail as you want – I love that.

A lot of the bling on this very subtle, but I really like what it adds to the project.

I would love to know what you think.  I can’t wait to see what you make, be sure to enter your project below.  Remember you do not have to use a Gilli but if you do you get two chances to win! 

Black and Chartreuse

Hello Gilli fans!

I would like to introduce you to the next Revlon Cover Girl, Lady Gilli! Her lashes are not “false” either. LOL!

Before I get started I want to thank Karen for taking up the slack for me on the last challenge. I had some family issues that came up and could not take care of that challenge. Karen jumped right in. Thank you, Karen, from the bottom of my heart!

Now onto my project. Black is one of my favorite neutrals to work with, so I had to choose a color that would make Lady Gilli pop. That color is chartreuse. This is not one of my favorite colors to wear (I turn chartreuse). I love this color when using my Copic markers. I also love Gilli and her many personalities. You purchase these little ladies at StampingScrapping.com.

The black cardstock is from SU and the designer paper is from Echo Park “For the Record.” The swirlies are from Magnolia Doohickey dies and I used Pearl Glimmer Mist to put some glimmer on them. Kevin and Suzanne at StampingScrapping.com are not going to carry the Doohickey dies any longer, but they do have a few still in stock. Catch them while you can. The ribbon and pearls are from my stash. The green roses from Wild Orchid.

I am so glad you stopped by and I hope you join us.
