Tom

 Good Morning!

Another Saturday and time for another challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE
This fortnight's challenge is 

Male  

Here’s what I’ve come up with :)

So, there's a bit of a story behind this card and why it's so small! 

Tom, is 21. Now, Tom sits infront of me down at Villa Park. 

I see Tom most Saturday's so I wanted to do him a card. Not everyday you turn 21 right...

The reason why the card is so small... I needed it to fit in a pocket! 

I was seeing him down Villa Park so it figured, small card and a pocket. 

The card itself is 10.5cm by 7.4cm
I did try and find claret and blue paper but I was runnign out of time lol.

Remember to follow the rules and enjoy the challenge.
We look forward to seeing your creations.

One For the Girls

Good Morning! 

Welcome to a new challenge over at Crafting When We Can - Link is HERE 

This fortnights challenge is 

"One For The Girls" 

We have a super awesome sponsor for this challenge,  Doodle Digistamps - Link is HERE

I've been lucky enough to use the image Bea and Tea - Link is HERE  

Rather than using the images on one card, I decided to make two! 

Here's what I've come up with....

 I went with a CAS look for these cards as I love the images, I wanted them to stand out more. 

I think I've achieved that! 

Both girls have been coloured in using Spectrum Noir Pens. 

I am going to post the colours used as sometimes trying to the find the right combinations is hard! 

The Sentiments are both printed onto the cardstock as well. 

I've added the die-cut borders to the tops and stickles and pearls for extra details. 

Here's a better look at the cards with the pen combos underneath...

Skin : FS3, FS1, FS2 | Hair : GB7, EB3, OR2, OR1 

Hat & Dress Blue : TB9, TB8, TB4 | Bow & Dress White : BGR3, BGR2, BGR1.

 Skin : FS3, FS1, FS2 | Hair : EB2, EB1, TN1

Glasses & Pants : DR7, DR6, DR5 | Top : IB3, IB2, IB1.

 There we have it... Two cute little CAS cards. 

We hope you enjoy the challenge... PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW THE RULES! 

Enjoy...

I wish to enter these in to the following challenge:

1) Addicted to Stamps  - Not a square card

Hello!

So here is the board. You can use any line as long as it is a line: 

I've gone with - Ribbon or lace / Flowers / Die cut

I wanted to colour this image which is Sugar Skull Portrait - Link is HERE - in pastel colours to show that sugar skull images can be soft and pretty and feminine :) 

I've actually coloured this image in using pencils. No specific make either just pencils. 

I liked how it turned out tho, really soft. I also used two circle die cuts behind the image to add definition :) 

There we have it. 

Enjoy the theme :) 

MTTC DT - People and Their Pets

Good Morning! 

Another Saturday and time for another challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

 This fortnight's challenge is "People & their Pets"

I struggled with this one but then I had an order for a card so I've used this theme for the card :) 

The card is based on Paw Patrol. Zayn loves this!

The images are clipart off Etsy which include the backing papers too. The images themselves are individual, but I've merged them together to make one main image. 

The "Zayn" has been die cut and the Paw Patrol badge is 3D. 

I hope you have fun which this challenge! 

Thanks for popping by :) 

 

MTTC DT - Christmas Animals

Challenge theme is "Christmas Animals" 

I've made a set of 4 cards using a reindeer! His super cute and is from Drawn With Character 

- Link to store is HERE 

- Link to image is HERE 

  

The Reindeer has been coloured using promarkers. I've glittered up the antlers too. What christmas card hasn't got a bit of sparkle?! Each card has a different greeting which is a peel off. 

Super quick post from me! 

Enjoy the challenge and see you over there! 

MTTC DT - Inspired by The Beatles

Good Morning! 

Another fun filled challenge over at My Time To Craft this fortnight!! - Link is HERE 

Our challenge is 

"Inspired by The Beatles" 

It's up to you how you interpret the theme. 

I went for something a little quirky and used and SBS image - Link to store is HERE 

I mainly wanted to stick to a couple of colours and the red and blue sits well together. I've used 3 different types of patterned papers to add layers. The buttons and twine are added to the chevron strip with the greeting being printed off the pc. The image I've used is ASH from Jude and the Rockers range by Rachel Sharp. I do love these images! I've got the whole set so there maybe more cards made in the same colour schemes :) 

Looking forward to see how everyone makes something with the theme :) 

 

DTBS DT - Tic Tac Toe

Morning! 

A new challenge over at Dare To Be Sassy today which is Tic Tac Toe - Link is HERE 

So, we would like you to use any 3 in a row off the board - Board is below.

I went for the top line of Flower, Spider/spider Web, Spooky Fence. 

 Here's what I've come up with, 

Using Wicked Honey - Image is HERE 

I've layered her on to silver spider web card, die cut a fence out and added flowers where I've twisted the stems up. Wicked Honey has been coloured using Promarkers on Linen effect card. I love the effect you get. Sentiment was off line but I think it's prefect for a little witch :)

The black spider web in the corner is also die cut.

Hope to all those "wicked" creations on the blog ;) 

CWWC DT - Whimsical With Wings

Good Morning! 

I was AWOL for the last challenge, my apologies! I didn't realise the date as it was my Dad's 60th Birthday weekend so most things went out the window that weekend. 

Anyhow's, on to the new challenge over at Crafting When We Can - Link is HERE 

The new challenge is "Whimsical With Wings" 

We are sponsored by the awesome Aurora Wings - Link to shop is HERE

I was lucky enough to use the super cute Honey Bee Sprite - Link is HERE 

Here's what I've come up with, 

The card itself is an 8" by 8", boy did I print the image way too big!! But I think it works. I coloured the little dude in with Spectrum Noir Pens and used a swirly embossed background. Sentiment is printed off the pc. 

Hope to see you stop by the blog and play along :) 

Creative Fingers DT - Anything Goes

Morning! 

On the blog today, finally, a Christmas card! 

It's the 2nd one I've done now LOL Still need to get a wiggle on tho! EEEEK! 

So the challenge over at Creative Fingers is Anything Goes but it's running for TWO WEEKS - Link is HERE 

We are sponsored this week by the awesome Scrappers Delight - Link to store is HERE 

I got to use the adorable Sophie Victorian - Link to image is HERE

Here's what I did 

Coloured her up with Promarkers, wanted to add a bit of colour from the normal traditional colours but also wanted to keep the background CAS with white embossing so she pops out. Added a ribbon and bow, had to add a bell too. I love those little bells. And then I came across the die-cut signs I completely forgot I had! I think they finish off the card. Added a couple of gems for some sparkle and finished. 

Hope to see you by the blog, what's easier than an anything goes challenge right?!

Monday Greetings DT - Christmas

Good Morning!

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 :) 

SSD Sponsorship - Banners

Afternoon! 

Today SSD is sponsoring Paper A La Mode over at The OutLawz - Link is HERE 

The current challenge is to use a banner. I've gone with someat a little different then your normal conventional banner so to speak. 

Thought I'd colour the image in slightly different this time round as I usually do her red dress and black gloves so opted for green and a black background. Think it works. The sentiment I had printed for ages. Now the banners are a die cut with each end being pointed but I decided to cut one up to layer them up. Added a bit of card candi to make them look like buttons. The image has been coloured using Promarkers too :) 

Really enjoyed making this CAS card with a darker background than I usually do! 

SSD - Sponsorship

SSD is SIX!! New Release & Blog Hop

Good Morning!! 

YAYAY!!!! 

The day has finally arrived to unveil all those awesome teasers... How many of you guessed right?! How many of you will win an image or even the whole new release?! 

So, before I show you what I've created, We have a super easy blog challenge starting over on the SSD blog - Link is HERE - which is "Anything Goes". So go create and link up! :) 

We also have a blog hop going on where you could win the WHOLE release! whoop! 

Blog hop will be at the bottom of this post...

I got to create with the awesome Frozen Heart Buttercream Babe. Of course I was super chuffed.... a new Frozen image!!!! And a Buttercream Babe at that!!! Wahay!

She has been coloured in using Spectrum Noir pens and Promarkers. I have cut round her so that she could be raised away from the backing card which is pink glitter with a silver fleck. The white is embossed. I was going to use a snowflake embossing folder but changed my mind. I used snow on the Snow Queen Buttercream Babe. Added the glittery twine and a white snowflake. The other snowflakes are punched out of silver mirror board. Added the pearls randomly. The greeting is a line out of the film, "Do you wanna build a snowman?" and the font is Disney font from dafont.com.

So, I also decided to do some of the other new images in the release. Here they are, 

**Aries & Taurus from previous release**

Sassy Studio Designs - Sponsorship

Morning Sassy Fans! 

Another sponsors post from me today :) 

This one is for The Outlawz and the challenge is "Twisted Easel" - Link is HERE.

I think I've found a new favourite SSD image, Sugar Skull Portrait!!! - Image link is HERE.

You can't see on the pic but the navy backing card is embossed. The red flowers, leaves and silver swirl are all die cuts. I added the pearls to the middle of the flowers to add some extra detail... or to cover the glue! LOL The image itself has been coloured with copics and promarkers. Had to add a bow as it looked  too plain. I also wanted to keep the colour scheme down to just a few colours. 

Really enjoyed making this twisted easel card. Hadn't made one for ages! 

I hope you join in too :) 

I'm Batman!

Well.... I wish! But only if I'm Batman that's played by Christian Bale... yummmy! 

Anyways enough drooling... I'm showing a Batman Card - If you hadn't guessed that already! ;) 

The Super Duper image is from Simply B Stamps - Link to Website is HERE. 

Unfortunately, they are no longer available but Betty still has some awesome digi's on her site! 

Little Batman or Batboy as he should be... has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens, no mixing on this! The background papers are a digital download from Etsy - Link is HERE.

I've die cut the "14" and "Sean" out of yellow card and added some card candi. The greeting has been printed off the pc using Batman Forever font - Link for font is HERE.

I'm entering this in to the following challenges : 

1. Cardz for Guyz - Use a die or punch

2. Crafts 4 Eternity - Dads or Male
3. The Outlawz GCC062215 - Father's Day or Masculine
