Let's Hang ~ quixotic, CPS, FFF and Papertake

Hello, it's a busy time with the little ones on Easter holiday... but I wanted to share a card I have over at Quixotic...

I still haven't inked all the wonderful characters in the The Greeting Farm - Stamp Kit- Creeper Crew - Creepin' and picked the fabulous Noah for my card. Used my favourite My Mind's Eye - 6x6 Paper Pad - Stella & Rose - Mabel and heat embossed the sentiment.

 I went for sunkissed dreads with a beachy look and these are the copics I used!!

I've included quite a few challenges on this card too...

FFF ~ lets hear it for the boys!

Papertake Weekly ~ truly Dimensional

Cps 213 ~ fabby Sketch

Thanks for stopping by hope it inspires!

Quixotic Inspirations

Hello! wanted to stop by with a fun card I made using lots of goodies found in Quixotic Paperie

I followed Jen's fabby sketch over at Club Anya Saturday Sketch. I couldn't wait to use the adorable The Greeting Farm - Cheeky Chat She went so well with the yummy Basic Grey - Hopscotch - 6x6 Paper Pad Also used a little of the Bazzill Basics - Smoothies - Kraft Cardstock too.

You might just see that I have used the WRMK - Sew-Easy Stitch Piercer Tool + Straight Head and WRMK - Sew-Easy Piercing Mat this time I used it with WRMK - Sew-Easy Floss - Yellow, a little hand stitching finishes off the card so nicely... which Fits in very well to the FFF Challenge.

That's it from me today, hope it inspires... 

have a wonderfully creative day!

HuGs for You ~ FFF and PDCC

Good Morning, I realise there's a fantastic Monday Mania challenge over at Club Anya & Friends but I've been wanting to use this adorable image for a while now...

  My card is based on the fabulous FFF sketch over at The Greeting farm and I decided to combine this with the colour challenge over at Play Date Cafe too. I treated myself to some pink paislee papers from the Stamp Attic while I was there ~ art journalling "Hello ladies"... (getting inky and messy, tee hee) Wendy has a fabulous shop I could have spent the day in there, a proper crafty treasure trove.

So on to the card... I have paper pieced the adorable grandma although some of the pattern is a little lost in the picture. I made the canvas flower by inking some sticky back canvas with distress inks and stamping the dotty background. Then, I have die cut and adhered two back to back to get a double sided petal (probably should have done that before I passed it through my big shot!). The BG brad just went so well with the colours and I have stamped the sentiment directly onto the taffeta ribbon. I fussy cut the flowery leaves and raised on a little foam.

Supplies: Patterned Paper: pink paislee; Queen Bee;

Stamps: The Greeting Farm: Grammie & Gramps set; PTI: Polka Dot basics II;

Ink: Memento & archival: black; Copic: markers*; distress inks*;

Dies: Sizzix: TH tattered florals;

Other: BG: glazed brad; Taffeta ribbon; Studio: sticky back canvas; Prima: lace; TH ruler, pokey tool & edge distresser; 3D foam; 

*Skin: E000, 11, 13 & R20, eyes: B41, Hair: E35, 97 Outfit: RV21, E04, YG93, C-3, I used my colourless Blender throughout!!!

* spun sugar, worn lipstick, bundled sage, antique linen, old paper,

Thank you for stopping by, hope you have a good start to your week, HuGs Kim :)
