Cute Critters at Incy Wincy

This week at Incy Wincy our challenge is Cute Critters and we are sponsored by Stamping Dragon Designs. I have used this cute little owl called Yoo Hoo's Tea I have coloured him with promarkers and paper pierced his tea cup. The papers are from Crate Paper's Random collection. I've used a brown promarker with a fine nib for the faux stitching and the sentiment is computer generated.

Vintage at Incy Wincy

 This weeks challenge at Incy Wincy is Vintage and we are sponsored by Stamping Dragon Designs

I decided to recover a diary for my hubby to use, I suppose I should have taken before photos but I forgot. I created this faux leather look by embossing some brown card with the mesh texture cuttlebug embossing folder and then random inking over it with brushed corduroy distress ink. Once that was done I covered the who sheet with vesramark ink and clear embossing powder and heated with a heat gun I love the results.

I have used this fab image of Rupert in his card which I coloured in Sepia tones with my promarkers, I then fussy cut him and mounted him onto a nestie cut shape from some MME paper, I used a promarker to edge the shape. Stuck some peeloff numbers under the image and covered the whole lot with glossy accents.

 This weeks challenge at Creative Craft Challenge is Anything But A Card and we have 2 great sponsores for you first up is Love to Stamp

Prize - 1 little Darling Stamp

and Stamping Dragon Designs

For my project I have made a post it note holder I followed the instructions from this blog and just changed the dimensions to fit my post it note pad.

 On the front of the post it note holder I have used is Jiggy's Book coloured with promarkers. The DP is some I got from SJ Crafts open day last month. I made a matching pen to go with the post it note pad, I bought these pens as presents for christmas last year and then lost them! They are meant for photos but I have inserted another dragon digi which I think was a freebie at sometime.

 A close up of the top of the pen so you can see the image slightly better.

More dragons

 Its time for another Stamping Dragon Designs project  this week I have used Jiggy's Book image and made a corner bookmark using these instructions. I can't believe how easy it was to make and what a great little pressie it would make . I've used Basic Grey Oliver papers and my zig zag punch on this book mark, the letters are papermania stickers and Jiggy is coloured with promarkers and some glamour dust on his wings. I'm sorry for the lack of a decent photo but it's so dark here again today thiswas the best out of about 10 photo's I took.

Now while your here let me remind you of our big Christmas challenge over at Stampin with the Dragon you've got a week left to enter and trust me when you see the prizes you will want to win them. Here's another project I made with one of the new christmas images. This one is called a diaper fold pouch and you can find the instructions here. I can't remember where the paper is from but it was double sided which was a big help for this project. The image is Jiggy Can't Wait which I have coloured with promarkers adding some glitter to his hat. The only other thing I have done is to add some glitter to the edges.

I would like to enter the bookmark into the following challenges:
