Good Morning! 

I hope you are all well on this rain free morning. I've said that now so no doubt it will rain lol.

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 - Flowers

Morning! 

Well I am one happy lass... I start a week holiday today! Whoop! Boy do I need it! 

I hate playing catch up when you feel you are getting nowhere fast lol 

Anyways, a new challenge over at My Time To Craft today - Link is HERE

The challenge is "Flowers". Now, I've gone for something CAS but an occasion I don't really like making cards for but I'm very happy with the outcome. The image is from Make It Crafty and is called Poppies - Link to image is HERE

I wanted to use quite muted tones and am very happy with the result in the greys. The card blank itself is black as I thought the white was too harsh. I used Spectrum Noir pens BG10, BG8 & BG6 to colour the flowers in. 

A super quick post from me... I'm off to pack for my holiday! 

No Digi's....

 

.... This was a challenge just in itself! I pretty use a digi for every single card!

But, as it happened I was asked to make a Wedding Card.

 

So no digi's for the Charisma Cardz challenge, here is the card...

 

Book-a-trix

 

A mixture of text, flowers, hearts & pearls.

Wasn't so sure of all the white at first, but it's turned out okay. The dark card is actually navy too.

 

Here's a few more pics:

I decorated the box the same but forgot to a pic! Clever as always ;)

 



Shoes!!

Wow! I was top 5 in the Fab 'n' Funky challenge last week :D Thank You so much! 

This week's Fab 'n' Funky challenge is... SHOES.

So this is what I've come up with...

Aston Villa Baby Shoes! 

baby shoes

These are for a baby's christening. The parents are big Villa fans (for all our sins mind!) So rather than doing white with a hint of blue shoes, I decieded to do these. They are completely made out of card, using peel offs and brads. They're quite easy to do, just a bit hard manipulating the bottoms to sit flush to the sole. The back of the box does have info on as well.

That's me done... One more quick post then I'm off to Glasgow for the Celtic match tonight! Exciting!

What can you do with 2 pieces of card.....

It's amazing what you can do with 2 pieces of card! 

So 1 piece of white and 1 piece of blue card, 2 brads, some peel offs & PVA glue turns into these...

Boots & Box

Boots in Box

Boots

Not the best team to support mind! But they turned out pretty good :) 

They are pretty easy to make after you've cut all the bits out. Bit tricky when it comes to glueing them altogether but they are something a little different.

Sketch Saturday #216

Took a while for me to get my head round the sketch if I'm honest.

The amount of papers I had out was unreal! Think my inspiration had deserted me until I had a light bulb moment. I was conscious of covering up too much of the checked paper then thought, I know.... Vellum! but do you think I could find it?! Well, after half an hour I finally found it! 

So here is the card; 

The image is "Luscious Linda" by Kenny K. I do love these images.

Hearts are punched out and gems have been added because I thought it looked too plain. I also came across my heart corner peel offs when I was tidying up! 

Here's a close up of the hearts & gems; 

Penny Black Challenge - Anything Goes

This is the first time in ages that I am joining in with the Penny Black Challenge Blog... I really fell out of love with my Penny Black stamps.. But suddenly had a "light bulb" moment. With my God-Mother's Birthday coming up, I wondered what I could use and remembered i had the stamp "Constellations" so off I went to rummage...

The layout is based ona sketch from another blog. I slightly adapted it and this is the card I created....

Colour scheme is gold, navy & kraft. The edging of each layer (if you please) has been stitched as well. The ribbon, you can just make out, has a tiny strip of gold on it so ties in beautifully. 

The image itself has been stamped but I've added colour using some promakers. Usually I keep the image clean or add pearls, but I think using colour works just as well. Added some big corner peel-offs to add more detail.

Thanks for popping by :)
