PAPERTAKE WEEKLY - ONE PAPER TAKER

Hello Everyone

How are you all?  I hope you are all keeping well.


It's Tuesday again which means it's challenge time over at Papertake Weekly and this week's challenge is "One Paper Taker" which means you can only use one piece of patterened paper - easy huh?

Our lovely sponsor this week is The Ribbon Girl so if you want to be in with a chance to win make sure you get your entries in over at Papertake Weekly and as always check out and see what the wonderful creative DT ladies have made for you.

Here is my card:


Now I know some of you will be wondering why the Bride has red hair - well, my Sister asked me to make a wedding card for one of her friends and it just so happens that the Bride is sporting some rather lovely red hair - what a great way to personalise a card, I don't think  you would ever get a card in a shop with a Bride with red hair.

Anyways, enough with the waffle.  The recipe for the card is:

Digital Stamp:  Make It Crafty - Over the Threshold
Paper:  Kaisercraft - Sweet Nothings (this is such a gorgeous pad!)
Roses:  Marianne Designs Creatables - English Rose
Leaf Die:  Joy - Vintage Flourishes - Thin Branch Leaves
Corner Die:  La La Land - Filigree Corner Die
Sentiment Die:  Spellbinders - Double Ended Tags
Sentiment:  Whimsy - Simple Everyday Greetings
Pearls:  The Hobby House
Heart Pins:  The Hobby House
Pearl Brads:  The Hobby House
Ribbon and Charm:  From My Stash

The image has been coloured with Copics, Promarker and Flexmarker:

Skin:  E11 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)
Brides Hair:  R29 R24 R22
Grooms Hair:  E27 E25 E23
Wedding Dress and Shoes:  Satin (Promarker) / Antique White (Flexmarker) / E0000
Veil:  C1 C0
Grooms Suit:  N6 N5 N4 N3
Grooms Shoes:  W5 W3 W2 W1
Shading:  W5 W3 W2 W1 W0

The image has been outlined with Weathered Wood Distress Ink
The Papers have been edged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink

One final picture to show you of the inside of the card:


Phew - and that's it.

Have a great week everyone and thank you so much for popping by.

Hello Everyone

I hope you have all had a wonderful Jubilee week even though the weather has been just pants!  Typical, I've had a week off work and the only two days we haven't had any rain was spent clearing out and re-planting part of the garden and now that that's done the weather has become just horrible!  I just know when I go back to work on Monday it will be lovely :oS


Anyways moan over - it's time for the weekly challenge over at Totally Gorjuss where this week the theme is 'Sunshine' and our lovely sponsor is Crafter's Companion.  As always make sure you go and see what the lovely DT ladies have made for you.

Here is the card I have made:


Now, when I think about lovely hot sunshine one of my first thoughts is ice cream - I mean who wouldn't ;o)  so this is where my inspiration came from - mmmm strawberry and chocolate ice cream - my favourite.

The recipe for the card is:

Digi Stamp:  Make It Crafty Frenchie Claudine
Papers:  My Minds Eye Stella Rose Hazel
Sentiment Stamp:  Whimsy Circle Postmark Sentiments
Ribbon:  From My Stash

The image has been coloured with Copics:

Skin:  E21 E00 E000 R20 R30
Hair:  E34 E55 E53 E51 E50
Hat, Top, Skirt:  R39 R29 R27 R24 R22 / C2 C1 C0 C00

Cream:  C2 C1 C0 C00
Chocolate Ice Cream:  E29 E27 E25 E23
Strawberry Ice Cream:  R85 R83 R81
Cornet:  E27 E25 E23 E21
Wafers:  E31 E30 E0000

I have also used Cold Grey V Polychromo Pencil for shading
I have used Walnut Stain Distress Ink around all the edges of the papers and image

One final picture of the inside of the card:


And for those of you who are eagle-eyed you will see that I managed to stick this into my card upside-down ;oS heh heh heh.
