A card at last

Hello, hope you are all well, Ive had a nasty virus this week, so much so, the doctors tested for all sorts of things which just made me think of all me ailments even more - I don't go to the doctors unless I'm climbing the walls - have a daft phobia of needles! lol. Since I was properly ill last year its just been one thing after another - so I'm determined once this has gone, that is that - no more poorlieness.

Anyway - I have at last a card, hoping the awol mojo returns asap. lol

This card is for this weeks Sketch & Stash challenge, which is a theme, and also for ABC Challenge which is currently at F for Flying.

I love this Penny Black image its so cute, I coloured it with my ink spots which I had to dust off - I forgot how much I love them, they are so easy to use :)

Oh before I forget Kipling is on QVC, was naughty and brought a bag lol.......

To make this card I used:
Image: Penny Black.
Papers: Pink Petticoat.
Medium: Ink Spots.
Other: Bazill, Nestabilities, Prima Flowers, Sparkly Gems from my stash.

I coloured them with Peerless Water Colours, cut them out using nestabilities dies, mounted them onto bazzil, and had a doodle!!! Papers are HOTP ribbon from my stash, flowers are prima, brads again from my stash, the sentiment is from craft work cards.

Double Challenge

Here is a card I made for this weeks Friday Sketchers Challenge http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/ & and Arty Girlz Challenge http://artygirlzchallengeblog.blogspot.com/, this week their theme was to use wire on your design, I added it to the middle of the buttons and curled it.

To make I used my favourite Leanne Ellis image from Funky Kits, coloured with pro markers and copics. Bazzil card, DCWV papers, prima flowers, buttons & wire from stash. Cuddly Buddly sentiment stamped with brilliance ink.

WOJ Challenge

I love these stamps, they are sooooooooo cute and so much fun. I decided to take the plunge and join the challenge this week. This is the 3rd challenge. http://wojmondaychallenge.blogspot.com/

The image is Whiff of Joy, coloured with copics and sakura highlighter pen, the wings have been glittered with glamour dust, mounted onto bazzil, the papers are all free from a magazine. Ribbon is one of many from my ribbon draw, the flowers are prima, buttons and cotton from my stash.

Sketch Saturday Challenge

This weeks challenge is based on a sketch. I have used a Sugar Nellie stamp, coloured it with copics, and a sakura gell roll pen to add high lights, matted it onto bazzil card, the papers are gorgeous they have a shimmer to them, they were free with a magazine. I added some glitter to some prima flowers, and added gems to the middle, also a pink petticoat sentiment, it was layered onto matching blue bazzil cut out using a cuttlbug die. Sparkly organza ribbon wrapped round the bottom.

Spoon Full of Sugar challenge

This weeks Spoon Full of Sugar challenge is based on a sketch. http://aspoonfullofsugarchallenge.blogspot.com/

I used a Penny Black image, coloured it with prismas and sansador, mounted it onto a slightly shimmery bazzil card stock, the backing paper is DCWV which I love as it is sparkly. I used a fiskars border punch to create the pretty borders, and added prima flowers, the brads and charm - which says "made with love" are form the Exeter craft fair, I will add a sentiment to the card, when I decide who its for.

Purple Pink Petticoat bath

I am so in love with my Pink Petticoat images at the mo! Here is yet another. I coloured it with copics, added glamour dust (again to make the bubbles look sparkly). The sketch is based on this weeks Paper Minutes sketch ttp://paperminutes.blogspot.com/. I will also be entering it into Our Creative Corner's challenge,the theme for the week is Birthday. http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/

I cut the image out using nesties, embossed some green card using a cuttlebug embossing folder, added some small pretty purple flowers, some prima flowers, sequins and a brad, then finished it off with a craft work card sentiment.

I will take another photo in better lighting, as it is quite vibrant, however it looks quite washed out in due to poor light. x

CCT In the water

This week CCT http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/ has a theme of:

In the water!
"As always a little flexibility is allowed in the theme, it can be in, on or beside water and the water can even be frozen i.e. snow or ice! We always look forward to your own interpretations!"

I saw this challenge, and immediatly knew what image I was going to use - does not happen very often! lolo. I have used a Pink Petticoat image (I've re found these little beauties over the past few days!), coloured the image with copics, cut it out with nestabilities, added glamour dust as the bubbles in the bath. The backing paper is K & Co, ribbon is from Hobbycraft, I used a sizzix die to cut out some swirls using bazzil card stock. Prima flowers, and sparkly papermania brads. To finish an Elzybells sentiment, mounted onto green bazzil. I mounted the image to the card using 3D foam pads.

Saturday Sketch Challenge

Here are two cards I made for this weeks Sketch Saturday Challenge http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com/ , one of which is a Christmas card. I think they are now to late to enter, but thought I would show anyway.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

The first one is a Happy Birthday card, I used a Pink Petticoat image and coloured it with chalks, for the bubbles in the bath, I used glamour dust (so brilliant this stuff - it seems to also last forever!) I cut it out using oval nestabilities, added a Elzybells sentiment, some prima flowers and a woodware brad. The base of the card was embossed using a cuttlebug folders, and I also added some embossed straight lines.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

The second card is again based on the sketch, using a Christmas theme. The image is Magnolia, coloured with prismas and sansador, glamour dust added to the wings, backing papers by DCWV and papermania, sentiments are doodlebug.

Fresh and Fun Challenge

Whilst blog hopping - yet again, I came across this challenge, on the Fresh and Fun http://beate.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/ the site has not been active for a few weeks, so I was really happy to see all is fit and well again. The challenge is a layout, so whats a girl to do on a cold wet Saturday afternoon, when no one's about???

So here is my card, I used a Magnolia image, water coloured it, then added some shimmery stargazer paints, it was attached to the card using 3D foam pads. I got out some pastel bazzil card, and embossed it using cuttlebug embossing plates. I used sparkly DCWV papers which are so pretty, some prima flowers, woodware brads, and a stampendous sentiment. I also added glamour dust to the wings. A girl has to sparkle ;)

Carol's Sketch Fun - No1

Whilst blog hopping yesterday I came across Carol's blog. She has lots of lovely designs and cards on there and a challenge. http://carolspaperplayce.blogspot.com/

I needed to make a card for a lady I'm doing a friendship card swap with over on DoCrafts. I saw this layout and thought it was perfect. I used my new Elzybells stamp, I think this image is very appropriate for this time of year! lol. I don't usually use these colours, however had this lovely DCWV papers and decided to make a tuti fruity coloured card. I love the happy colours.

I have also entered it into My Time To Craft blog challenge http://mytimetocraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2008/06/challenge-20-circles.html, which has a theme of circles, the backing papers I have used are covered in circles, the one with the smaller circles on is glittered and very pretty.

I had to add an additional touch of sparkle, I added glamour dust to the middle of the flowers on the image, and the girls hair slide.
