Creative Inspirations GDT - Anything Goes

Morning Peeps! 

My last post as the GDT over at Creative Inspirations. I've loved playing along for the last 3 challenges and working with Natalie. 

So the challenge this time round is

Anything Goes + Option of a sketch. 

I haven't used the sketch as I'm going to show you a card I made for a 1st Birthday...

Full Card

This cute little bear is from The Digi Stamp Boutique. They do have some lovely cute little bears. I've coloured this bear in claret and blue as it's for a little Villa fan. Awesome Team!! LOL. His been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens. His balloon has been layered up and a die cut "1" has been stuck on top. "Oscar" is also die cut and of course a bit of twine and a button.

 All my christmas cards are finished now.... YESSSSS!!!! Back to making everyday cards now :) 

Have a lovely christmas everyone 

Creative Inspirations GDT - Traditional Christmas Colours Only

Morning Everyone! 

It seems to be getting a little warmer here... still no snow! 

Saying that, no rain yet either which is always good. 

Onto the challenge from Creative Inspirations. This weeks challenge is 

"Traditional Christmas Colours Only"

 So, Red, Gold & Green. 

The sponsors for this challenge are the Stamp Fairy. I've used a sentiment rather than an image. 

 

Here's my card:

Full Card

I really struggled with this card to be honest. I think because I've made so many cards in non-traditional colours, I find it hard to use traditional colours. Very strange! 

The background is embossed with the two strips of paper from the Traditional Papers, Papermania range. I've used twine in Red and Green plus a star button.

 I'm off to finish the last two christmas cards. I have no idea what I'm doing for them! 

Creative Inspirations GDT - Contemporary Christmas Colours

Don't you just hate it when you schedule a post and then your internet decides it's not going play! 

Got to love my network provider. 

Anyway, onto the main post. 

For December, I am the Guest DT member over at Creative Inspirations. Very exciting! 

This weeks challenge is 

"Contemporary Christmas Colours"

So no Red, Green or Gold! 

Here's what I've done.

Full Card

This is actually 1 of 2 cards that I've done as part of a big order. Will pop a picture on later of the other card. The papers are from two different packs, Docrafts Capsule collection Spots & Strips - Festive and Special Delivery. The image is called "Noel" and is from Saturated Canary. She can be found HERE. She has been coloured with Spectrum Noir pens, cut out and slightly raised away from the background image. Luckily, when I was sorting through my ribbon drawer, I found some ribbons that match perfectly! Wahay! And of course, a couple of snowflakes were added. 

Here's a few more pics:

 And here is the other card but with the papers the other way round.

Quite a few pics there! 

Please take a look at the blog and come play along. Happy crafting!
