Back With A Challenge - PBSC Week 198

Haven't done alot of Blogging lately but here is an offering. Have joined in with the Penny Black Saturday Challenge week 198. The Challenge this week is No Patterned Paper.

 I can take no credit for the idea behind this card, I saw it on Kaths blog a long time ago, but thought it was a great idea for the stamp. 

 

I stamped the image Penny Black "Whispers" onto coloured card and cut out and layered the flowers. I have used distress ink just to add a tinge of colour around the edges of the card. I then added the sentiment, bow and glitter glue.

Thanks for Looking

Two Challenges.

Have excelled myself this week and made a card that incorparates 2 Blog challenges. Unheard of for me - I'm never that organised. So below this card is for the The Cute Card Thursday Blog Which is a Sketch by Andrea to follow and also for the Just Magnolia Challenge Blog where the theme is "Anything Goes"

So Changed the sketch a little with the shapes but the basic layout is the same.

I stamped and coloured Tilda with Copics, cut her out and layered her onto nestabilities, one from plain card edged with distress inks and the other with backing paper. Cut and punched a strip of "Little Sizzles" backing paper with Martha Stewart Doily punch to put across the middle. Added the flowers that I coloured with a chalk pad, "Craftwork Cards" sentiment and lashings of gold "Stickles". Edged the main card with distress ink too.

I decorated the inside too with some DCWV backing paper and a Nestabilty edged with Distress ink and gold "Stickles"

Off to work now, have a good day

Dino Birthday card

Made a point of buying some stamps that are suitable for Boys Birthday cards as I don't have many cause the super cute stamps suck me in and say "buy me"..... So here is a Dinosaur stamp I bought at the NEC.

Love the goofy faces on this "Great Impressions" dino stamp. Stamped and coloured with Copics. Layered onto K and Co Hopscotch collection  backing paper. The drippy edge was a sample strip of a Martha Stewart punch I received in with an order for something else. The Happy Birthday To You sentiment is Hero arts. Added buttons,edged card with Old Paper Distress ink and spread lots of drippy green Stickles glitter glue.
