Monday Greetings DT - Autumnal colours and twine

Ooops! In the event of my birthday yesterday, I completely forgot my blog post! Eeeek! 

Anyways, a little later but better than never :) 

So, this weeks challenge at Monday Greetings is "Autumnal Colours & Twine" - Link is HERE

This week we've had TWO sponsors - Scribbles Designs - Link to store is HERE 

And Melonheadz - Link to Store is HERE 

I struggle with autumn colours so had a little bit of help as I followed this 

 

So, with the help of the picture, I came up with these two cards. 

First one up is Scribbles Designs and I've used Maple Leaf - Link to image is HERE

Image has been coloured using Promarkers. Greeting is printed off the computer.

Second card up is Melonheadz using Snowman Bobbleheadz - Link to image is HERE 

I used two of the set, added a heart in between and printed the sentiment off the pc. Images again have been coloured using Promarkers. 

A couple of CAS cards from me. I do love this style although sometimes I want to add more lol. 

Hope to see you join in with us! :) 

Monday Greetings DT - Halloween Party!

Hello everyone! 

I was AWOL last week, my pc decided to not play ball and I had to reinstall everything! 

Luckily I lost no photo's or files or anything... Phew! 

Anywho's, back this week with a great challenge over at Monday Greetings - Link is HERE

This weeks challenge is

"Halloween Party!" 

So, cards, invites, anything you can think of to do with halloween. 

We are also sponsored this week by Deedee's Digi's - Link to store is HERE 

The image I've played with is Pumpkin Pals - Link to images is HERE

This is what I've got, 

  

I really struggle with Halloween cards as here in the UK, we don't really do much for halloween. It doesn't seem to be a big holiday like it is everywhere else. 

I went with a CAS card as I wanted the greeting and image quite predominant. Had to get a bit of twine in too! :) 

Hope to see you over at The OutLawz :) 

Monday Greetings DT - Christmas

Good Morning! 

The dreaded "C" word..... Christmas! 

I still haven't really done any! LOL 

Anyways, this is the new Monday Greetings Challenge over at The OutLawz - Link is HERE

This week we are sponsored by Decosse's Dynamite Doodles - Link is HERE 

I got to play with a sentiment set which is called White Christmas and used the papers called Familiar Refrain. So, here's what I got : 

I've die cut out a black glittery lamppost and added some ribbon. I CAS card from me again. I may add a few more bits to it later one too. 

Hope to see you join us over at the Outlawz :) 

Monday Greetings DT - Anything Goes

Good Morning! 

Another wet bank holiday morning... niiice!

This week we have a "Anything Goes" challenge over at the OutLawz Monday Greetings - Link is HERE 

We are sponsored by Deedee's Digis - Link is HERE 

I think my card is very apt for the weather! 

I have made a CAS card for this challenge. All the elements used (apart from the circle die cuts) are from the pack Rainy Day - Link is HERE

I coloured the umbrella in red and white so it would stand out against the green clouds. The sentiment is also out the set too. These will definitely be used again.... my Auntie loves ducks! 

Hope to see you pop over to the OutLawz :) 

I'm also entering this in to the challenge of #66 Splash at CAS on Sunday - Link to blog is HERE 

The OutLawz DT - Burnishing!

Hello there! 

Another Monday so another challenge over at Monday Greetings - Link is HERE 

This week our challenge is "Burnish part of your card" - I had no idea what this was or how to do it!! 

So after a lot of googling, I finally decided on how I was going to burnish my project. 

This week we are sponsored by Bugaboo - Link is HERE 

And 2 Cute 2 Ink - Link is HERE 

I had the opportunity to use Bugaboo's Girls Happy Trio - Link to image HERE 

So, the burnished part of my project is the image itself. I went with the technique of colouring the image with pencils and then going over it with a white pencil. This then blended the colours together and gave the image a slight sheen. I used Derwent Coloursoft pencils to colour the image in. The sentiment I made up and printed off the pc. It reads "There is no greater laughter than laughter among friends" very apt for the image! LOL Because I'd used different colours on the image, I wanted the card quite simple so went with a white embossed background, twine and buttons. 

I hope you can see the burnishing in the pic on bottom right :) 

Be nice to see you all over at the OutLawz - There's lots of challenges to along with! 

OutLawz Monday Greetings DT - Make me laugh/smile...

Bring me sunshine... all the while... No idea why i have that stuck in my head! 

Anyways... Hello! 

Today I'm with you for another Monday Greetings challenge - Link is HERE.

This week's challenge we are asking you to make a creation that will make you laugh or smile. 

We also have a super sponsor this week which is Scribble's Designs - Link to blog HERE.

I've gone with a CAS card as I wanted the picture quite prominent. 

I have the pleasure of using Gumballs Mason Jar - Link to image is HERE.

I've coloured the image with Spectrum Noir pens including shading the jar. The sentiment reads "Candy makes life so sweet!" I thought the greeting was apt. I also added 4 card candi to pull the colours of the jar out on to the white space :) 

I hope to see many creations over at the OutLawz! :) 

OutLawz DT - Use 2 frames

Good Morning! 

I hope the sun is shining where you are 

This week we have a brand new challenge over at Monday Greetings - Link is HERE

The challenge is 

"Use TWO frames on your card" 

Now I struggled with this but came up with something. I was also luckily enough to be able to use one of our two sponsors images as well. So, here's what I created...

This little darling is called Lady Bug, hence the greeting - Link for image HERE 

And she is from the adorable My Stitch Back In Twine - Link to shop HERE

She's been coloured in Spectrum Noir pens and cut out. The "stripes" along the bottom of the card are washi tape. What a great idea I thought when I seen the idea so decided to try it :) 

I added the bow to the frame with a brad and glittered it up. I also wanted to keep the card quite clean and simple with only a couple of colours :) 

Have a good week! Happy Crafting :) :) 

OutLawz DT - Tic Tac Toe

Good Morning! 

A new DT for me that I've joined - The Outlawz Challenges! Whoop! 

So my first challenge as part of the DT is "Tic Tac Toe" - Link to Monday Greetings is HERE

I do love this! It's super easy, just pic a line, anyway you like and make your card :) 

 

I have used "Die cut/punches/image/Embossing" 

And we are also sponsored by All Dressed Up - Link HERE 

And... Deedee's Digi's - Link HERE 

 The image is super cute! It's called "All Dressed Up For Christmas" - Link is HERE. 

The image itself is coloured using Promarkers. I went with none traditional colours in the pink and grey. I may add a little glitter nearer to christmas too. The sentiment is printed off the PC with punched snowflakes. The ribbon has a silver button with a small white snowflake attached with twine. Added a few gems to make it a little more girly :) 

Thanks for popping by to my lil blog :)
