Riley on vacation- it's the big blog hop!

Hello!! I'm thrilled to say I'm taking part in this month's Riley & Co Blog Hop to celebrate the release of the "Riley on Vacation" collection which features 15 new Riley images and a set of Riley travel stickers.

If you didn't start at the beginning of this blog hop, you are now at the end! I'm the last stop of the blog hop so you might want to head on back to the beginning here to start the blog hop or visit here to purchase the new collection which is available right now!!

Make sure you leave a comment on all the DT members' blogs as you hop along from blog to blog and you'll be in with the chance of winning one of the new stamps that each DT member is giving away and that includes me! The more comments you leave, the more chance of winning!

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!

Hope you've enjoyed the blog hop and have enjoyed visiting my time as GDT for Riley & Co! x

Riley on vacation- sneak peek day 5 !

Hi ya! Yep it's day 5 of our sneak peeks of the new Riley collection "Riley on vacation" which features 15 new Riley images and a set of Riley travel stickers. This will be my last post before the big blog hop to coincide with the collection release on Thursday 28th July. Do check out the Riley blog for all the happenings concerning the release. I'm so looking forward to showing you my 2 final Riley cards tomorrow, I've saved the best for last!!! :0)

However, I'm also treating you today as I have 2 cards to show you!

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!!!

Riley on vacation- sneak peek day 4 plus new Riley Challenge!

Hi ya! It's my second post of the day to announce it's day 4 of our sneak peeks of the new Rileycollection "Riley on vacation" which features 15 new Riley images and a set of Riley travel stickers. This collection will be released on Thursday 28th July. Do check out the Riley blog for all the happenings concerning the release.


So here is one of the newest stamps called "Welcome to Las Vegas". I coloured with copics and added ground shadow with lyra pencils. Again I've used these papers by Echo Park because instantly they remind me of Vegas. I really like the red polka dot paper around the image because it mirrors the lights round the Vegas sign. This will be a perfect card for my hubbie as we had a fabulous time when we went to Vegas so I'm sure it will bring back lots of memories for him.

I will be entering this into the Riley Challenge this week which is "R" is for "Riley Recipe": use a Riley image, red, ribbon and rhinestones. Do pop by the Riley blog and join in!

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)

Riley on vacation- sneak peek day 2!

Hello! Hello! It's day 2 of our sneak peeks of the new Riley collection "Riley on vacation" which features 15 new Riley images and a set of Riley travel stickers. This collection will be released on Thursday 28th July. Do check out the Riley blog for all the happenings concerning the release.

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?!

Had a brainwave as remembered hubbie had some poker chips so added one which I think just finishes the card off a treat!

Usual close up!

Riley on vacation!

Hello! Hope you're all well! I'm very excited to be Guest Designer for the new release of Riley stamps that will be available this coming Thursday 28th July. The release is called "Riley on Vacation" and features a fabulous, fun and versatile collection of stamps.

I will be showing a sneak peek of the new stamps every day until Thursday when there will be a Riley & Co Blog Hop with stamps to be won!

So here is my sneak peek for Day 1...

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!
