Good morning everyone and hope that you had a good weekend. Well as today is Tuesday we have a brand new challenge for you over at Passion for ProMarkers and this week it’s Anja’s turn and she has chosen the theme ‘Altered but not Square’.   

Our sponsor for this week is Joanna Sheen and they are offering a one lucky person a £10 gift voucher to spend online. 

For my altered project, I decided to decorate a wine bottle which I intend to give one of the kids Teachers as a Christmas gift.

The DP is Basic Grey Nordic Holiday and is available from Bunny Zoe Crafts. I’ve distressed the papers by first crumpling them up into a ball and then running my distress ink pads over them to create an aged look. 

The Christmas Tree shape I made using a quickutz die and the Holly I made using the Holly die from Whiff of Joy. 

The poinsettia flower I made myself using the Spellbinders die and the bow and red hat pearl pin are from Bunny Zoe Crafts.

The metal key and lock embellishments are Tim Holtz and the snowflake charm is from Bunny Zoe Crafts.

Tickled Pink Preview Day 7 Spinks & Spooks Collection–Lil Haunts 2 Vampire Lestat

Good afternoon to you all and welcome to day 7 of the Lil Haunts previews from Tickled Pink. Today I’d like to share with you a project that I’ve made using the Vampire Lestat image which has been illustrated by Christina Dee. This image along with 7 more Halloween images will be available from Tickled Pink from 15th August along with Ann’s wonderful Halloween sentiment set.

When I saw this image I knew straight away that I was going to make a coffin Halloween treat box and I got the template from the Martha Stewart website.

I cut the box out using black cardstock and then around the edges I used Platinum Liquid Pearls to give a little design. I then made 4 holes and put pearl brads through them along with a bit of twine. I didn’t have red pearl brads so I just coloured them using my burgundy promarker pen.

The black roses I made myself using my slice machine and the brilliant sentiment is by the very talented Ann.

Here’s another photo showing the inside of the treat box filled with some goodies.

Don't forget to stop by the Tickled Pink Stamps blog for more amazing previews and to comment for a chance to win some Halloween treats for yourself :0)

Hi there everyone and hope that you enjoyed seeing all the gorgeous new Christmas stamps that are available from Sugar Nellie yesterday. As promised I’m back again today to show you another card using one of the new images.

Guest DT Card For ABC Challenge & Truly Scrumptious DT Card

I was so pleased and surprised when I received an e-mail last week from the very lovely Vicky, asking me if I would like to be a Guest designer on this fortnights challenge at ABC Challenge. Thank you so much Vicky and the rest of the team at ABC for inviting me.

The Challenge this fortnight is F for Flowers, and if you have visited my blog before you know that I LOVE to make my own flowers, so this challenge is right up my street.

Also today we have a new challenge for you over at Truly Scrumptious where we have another fabulous sketch for you to follow with the optional theme of making an easel card.

 

For my card I thought that I would use this adorable image from Magnolia. I’ve had this stamp for a few months now and I’ve only inked her up a couple of times (I know shame on me, LOL). To colour in this little cutie I’ve used my AquaMarker pens from Letraset.

The DP I’ve used is a mixture of Making Memories and Prima, I’ve then distressed the edges and then inked them up using Mahogany AquaMarker and a sponge.

The flowers I made myself using various dies.

I hope that you get the chance to join in both challenges and thanks for stopping by today.
