Ruby's Rainbow Challenge #36 - No Image Just Words

The new theme for the next two weeks on Ruby's Rainbow Challenges is No Image Just Words.  For my DT work I have used a Unity stamp to make a little card.

RRC Challenge#23 - White + 1 Other Colour

Time for a new challenge on Ruby's Rainbow Challenges, and this fortnight the theme is White + 1 Other colour.  I used a Unity stamp for my DT card and some English Paper Co. bp.

V for Very Vibrant

The new theme on the Alphabet Challenge Blog is V for Very Vibrant.  My card actually looks a lot more vibrant than this photo, I am finding it hard to find decent light to take photos lately!  I used some Dovecraft bp and a Unity flower stamp coloured with Promarkers.

CYDA Challenge #30 - Tag It

The new challenge on Craft Your Days Away is Tag It, and I have made a tag using Distress Inks and Unity stamps, plus some glitter and a brad embellishment.  The butterflies are cut with a Sizzix die.  There is some sparkle on it but it doesn't show up too well on the photo!

Q for Quotes and Sayings

We are up to Q this week on the Alphabet Challenge blog, and the theme is Quotes and Sayings.  For my DT work I made a tag using My Minds Eye bps,  Unity stamps and Primas and Card Candy to embellish.

CYDA - Challenge#9 - Texture

The new challenge for this fortnight on Craft Your Days Away is Texture.  This challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp and you could be in with a chance of winning a $10 spend with free p&p if you take part.

I have used stamps by Unity, called A Mother's Love, available here for my DT card.   I stamped the butterfly and embossed it, colouring in with Promarkers.  The bp is by My Mind's Eye and I co-ordinated the Primas and Card Candy to embellish with texture, and finally added a foam bird!

I am also entering this card for the Top Tip Tuesday challenge - Layer Upon Layer. 

Moments in Bloom

Another atc made using the lovely Moments in Bloom set by Unity, available here.  I inked the background with Crushed Olive Distress Ink then stamped several of the stamps from the set using Memento and Adirondack inks.  I edged the atc with a Copic pen and embellished it with metallic nailheads.

In Love

This is an atc I made using stamps from the Fall For You set by Unity, available from Emily here.   I inked the background with Bundled Sage and Rusty Hinge Distress Inks, and stamped some of the images from the set, colouring in with Promarkers. 

Autumn

I love autumn colours, and I have made an atc using the lovely Harvest of Memories and Moments in Bloom stamps by Unity, available here.  I inked the background of the atc with Wild Honey Distress Ink and stamped a background stamp, then stamped and cut out 2 leaves, coloured them with Adirondack inks and Glossy Accents and attached to the atc together with one of the sentiments from the Harvest of Memories sets.  
I am entering this for the Autumn challenge on Tuesday Taggers.

CYDA Challenge #4 - Autumn Doodles

The new challenge on Craft Your Days Away is Autumn Doodles.  The challenge, which runs for a fortnight, is sponsored by Whimsy Stamps and the lucky winner will receive 5 digi downloads, so pop over to the blog and have a go!

For my DT work I made a tag using the lovely Harvest of Memories set by Unity, available here.   I inked the background with Rusty Hinge Distress Ink and stamped some of the leaves on the background, which don't show up too well on here!  I used a couple of the main stamps and doodle stitched around the edges, punched some leaves and finished with some metallic nailheads.

Harvest of Memories

I have made a tag using stamps from the wonderful new set from Unity, Harvest of Memories (August 2010) available from Emily here.   I inked a tag with Wild Honey DI and stamped some of the leaves onto it, stamped one of the sentiments and added some leaf brads and copper nail heads, finally edging the tag with copper Krylon pen.

Floral Friends

This is a mini card made using one of the stamps from the Unity Floral Friends set, available from Emily here.  I stamped one of the images and coloured in with Copics, putting an adhesive gem in the centre.  The bps are unknown from my stash mountain!

Moments in Bloom

For this DT card for Make The Day Special, I have again used the lovely Unity kit, Moments in Bloom.  I stamped one of the sentiments and a leaf stamp from the kit onto Basic Grey papers, and inked the edges of my card with Distress Inks.  I punched some butterflies with a MS punch and added Primas and gems to finish.  The greeting is by Penny Black.

Floral Friends

This card is made using an image from the Unity Floral Friends set, available from Emily at Make The Day Special.  I coloured in one of the images with Copics and used some scraps of pretty Dovecraft papers from my desk and some DCWV scraps to mat and punched flowers with an MS punch.  The centres are metallic nailheads, and the sentiment is from the {ippity} Fall for You set, also available from Emily.

Here is another little 4" x 4" card, I love this size, using a stamp from the May Unity kit - Moments in Bloom, available from Emily at Make The Day Special. 
I stamped the fern image using green Memento ink, and used Antique Linen DI for the background and edges of the card.  The paper is by My Mind's Eye and I love these, must get some more!  The little greeting is by Kanban and seemed perfect for the style of image.
