Sparkles Christmas Challenge #17 - Monochromatic

The new theme on Sparkles Christmas Challenges for June is Monochromatic and for my DT card I chose to use blues.  My cute little stamp is by Elzybells, sadly no longer available.  This month we have 2 lovely prizes of a £10 voucher from Joanna Sheen and a $10 voucher for Di's Digi Downloads so go on over and take part!

MTTC Challenge #151 - Espressoley For You!

The new theme on My Time To Craft is Espressoley for You - to make something either in coffee colours, or use a drink theme.  I used one of my cute Elzybells stamps for my DT work and some Kanban bps and punched some butterflies with a Martha Stewart punch.

MTTC Challenge #149 - Citrus Colours

The new theme on My Time To Craft this week is Citrus Colours.  For my DT work, I used some downloaded bp (no longer available) and some DCWV bp, and stamped my cute Elzybells image and coloured her in with Copics.  I coloured some white flowers and Card Candy with Copics also, and punched some butterflies with a Martha Stewart punch.  The greeting is by Daisy and Dandelion.

CYDA Challenge #24 - Fancy Folds

 

Time for a new fortnightly challenge on Craft Your Days Away, and this time the theme is Fancy Folds.  There is a fab prize of 4 digis from Meljen's Designs so pop over and take part.

For my DT work I chose to make an easel card, not the fanciest of folds really but I like them!  I used a cute Elzybells image coloured with Promarkers and Copics, and some lovely DCWV Pocket Full of Posies bps.  I punched the border strips and butterflies with Martha Stewart punches and coloured some white flowers to co-ordinate with a Promarker.  I'm never sure how to photograph these cards and only usually take one pic, but it is an easel card!

SFC Challenge #15 - Recipe

Time for a new challenge on Sparkles Forum Challenges and this time we have a Recipe ~ One image, a flower and 2 ribbons.  The challenge this fortnight is sponsored by Stitchy Bear and you could win a $10 voucher, so pop over to the blog to take part.

For my DT work I stamped an Elzybells image and coloured her with Copics.  I distressed the edges of a scrap piece of bp, added 2 pieces of organza ribbon and a Card Candy sentiment, and a Prima flower with Card Candy centre to complete.

SFCC Challenge #6 - Glitter

Time for a new monthly challenge on Sparkles Forum Christmas Challenge, and this month the theme is Glitter.  Christmas is getting ever closer so now would be a good time to make a start on your cards if you haven't already!  There is a prize this month of a £10 voucher to spend at Joanna Sheen and also, a 5 digis or 4 digis and one paper pack from Robyn's Fetish.

 For my DT work I used an Elzybells stamp - sadly no longer available, coloured with Copics.  The bp is DCWV and that was my last sheet of that particular design which I loved!  The snowflakes are punched with my Martha Stewart punch with Card Candy in the centres. The sentiment is by Daisy and Dandelion.

Ladies Day

The new theme on My Time To Craft is Ladies Day.  For my DT work I wanted to have a go at a technique I have seen a lot lately of distressing all the edges of the papers and mats so found my Tim Holtz distressing tool and went for it - great fun!  I used an Elzybells image coloured with Promarkers and Copics (I use an assortment of both)  and Daisy and Dandelion papers, and a Card Candy greeting and blobby things!

I am also entering this card for the Spots and Dots challenge over at Freshly Brewed Challenges.

D is for Dragonflies

We are at D this week on the Alphabet Challenge Blog, and for my DT card I have used one of my lovely House Mouse stamps again, colouring in with a combination of Copics, watercolouring and Sakura Metallic gel pens!  I used some freebie BP from a magazine, and the sentiment is by Elzybells, finally finishing with some metallic nailheads and a dragonfly brad.

Satsuma, Gold and Chocolate!

Sounds yummy doesn't it! Those are the colours for the challenge on Winter Wonderland this week. I made my card using an orange gingham background, and my cute little eskimo man by Elzybells coloured in with Copics. He is matted onto gold card and chalk inked round the edges. The greeting is also from Elzybells. I used my MS punch for the snowflakes (I think they are on all my Christmas cards!) and Card Candy in the middles.

Snowflakes

The theme on this week's Magical Crafts Forum weekly Christmas Card challenge is Snowflakes, and I have made this card using Papermania backing paper, an Elzybells stamp coloured in with Copics and glitter glue onto a mat cut with a Nestabilities die, a Personal Impressions sentiment and a Martha Stewart punch! I followed the sketch on this week's Winter Wonderland challenge too which also had an optional theme of Baby's First Christmas, but as I would have no use for that I opted not to!

Christmas Cards

I need a variety of Christmas cards, some quick ones and some more detailed. I noticed on Christmas Cards All Year Round blog their challenge this month is to make 5 cards - no theme or colour specified. As I have been making some this morning I decided to enter these ones! 3 are stamped and 2 are using stickers.

Christmas

The theme on Funky Fairys Challenge blog this week is Christmas!! I used the FF Pink Christmas paper and an Elzybells image for my card and plenty of glitter! The greeting is a FF Christmas Rounds and I cut the snowflakes on my Slice. Pop over to the challenge blog and be in with a chance of winning a FF paper download kit if you enter this week.

Black and White and One Other Colour

I picked the theme on My Time To Craft this week, Black, White and One Other Colour! I chose blue as my 'other colour' and used DCWV black and white paper on my card, stamped a dragonfly in blue and clear embossed him and added some glitter glue, a message and blue brad, and some blobs of Liquid Pearls - also in blue!

Just a Little Note

I wanted to try out my new Basic Grey mini stamps, so made this card using Funky Fairy Papercrafts background paper, BG stamps, and Elzybells message and Primas, gems and Stickles to finish.
