I went with both. So here's what I've got..

 Absolutely love this image from Simply B stamps.

Bright and Colourful 

For this challenge we are sponsored by Oddball Art Co. - Link is HERE 

I got the use the super awesome image Tiny Kawaii Baby Dragon - Link is HERE 

I've added no sentiment to this card purely because it will probably be my Auntie's birthday card. 

She loves Dragons!

Retro Selfie

 Good Morning!

Another Saturday and time for another challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE
This fortnight's challenge is 

 

Sequins and/or Buttons

Here’s what I’ve come up with :)

I have used an image by Kenny K called Retro Selfie - Link is HERE

I've coloured the image using Spectrum Noir Pens.

I decided to use sequins on this project beens I use buttons a LOT! I also decided to do a shaker card which I haven't made in ages. It was really fun! 

The shaker surround, I cut out to look like a poloroid photo. Pretty cool eh?!
I’ve added extra detail to the card as well by adding a die cut "hello" and a navy bow.

Here's a few more pics....

 

Remember to follow the rules and enjoy the challenge.
We look forward to seeing your creations.

You know when you have that card to make for a difficult teenager that's never off their phone... 

Well, there's a perfect image for this!

It's by Lili of the Valley and is called Jasmine Phone - Link is HERE

The papers I've used are a download from Etsy from HuckleberryHearts - Link is HERE

Wanted to make the card girly as well as bright and bold. All three papers are out of the download paper pack. I love how they complement each other. 

The image I've coloured using Spectrum Noir Pens. The paperclips are from IKEA. I love them! I love how they add more detail to the card. The three roses are made out of foam. And I've also added spiral staimen. These I've been looking for for like forever! I finally found them!! YAY! 

I will be selling these from my Etsy shop once I've listed them if anyone is interested. 

Here's a few close ups of the details and a shot that shows layers....

This fortnight's challenge is a sketch! By meeeee..... :) 

 Here's the sketch:

 

I've rotated mine to add an extra way of interpretting the sketch.

Here's what I've made : 

 

I have used an image by Jade Dragonne called Headphones and it’s been coloured in using Sharpie pens and a white gel pen.
I’ve added extra detail to the card by using pearls and a wooden word which reads crazy.

 

Remember to follow the rules and enjoy the challenge.

MTTC - Sketch

Good Morning! 

Another Saturday and time for another challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE

This fortnight's challenge is a sketch! By meeeee..... :) 

Here's what I'm come up with... 

I used a Faery Ink girl on this card ;) 

She has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens in greens and pinks. 

Originally, her hair was going to be green but I changed my mind. I like the pink. 

The "awesome" is wooden wording. 

Added the pearls & ribbon for a finishing touch :)

MTTC DT - Girlie

Morning! 

What a horrible wet day! 

Bad day for me today, I have to go and buy a new die cutting machine as my other one broke! 

This is the second one I've had in two years and they've both broken with the same fault :( 

Anyways, on to a new challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

This challenge we want to see "Girlie" - doesn't have to be pink!! 

Although, I've gone with pink only 'cos it was on the order ;) 

I've used a super cute Lili Of The Valley square topper card.

The papers are a digital download from Etsy. I do love a spotty paper! 

Added some glittery washi tape, gems, buttons, bows and "Abby" is die cut along with the "1" on the pram. 

No colouring involved in this creation! 

I hope you all play along with the challenge. 

I'm off to buy a new machine! *insert crying face*

Enjoy! 

Navy, Pink & Cake

Good Morning! 

Hope you are all well and not too cold. 

It's currently -2 here in the middle of the UK! 

Anyways, I'm here today to show you a card I've made for my cousin's birthday. 

I am going to add her age but I couldn't remember how old she is! Ooops! 

Turns out she's 13..... 

So, here's the card:

The colour scheme and layout have come from the inspiration pic and layout on Fusion Card - Link is HERE 

And the image is from Tiddly Inks. She is called "Cute as a Cupcake Girl" - Link is HERE

I can not remember the last time I used my Spectrum Noir pens but I did on this. I had forgotten how good they are! 

The spotted and chrevon papers are a digital download from etsy. 

Think I will die cut "13" out in pink and add it to lopsided spotty paper. 

  I'd like to enter this card in to the following challenges: 

1. Fusion - Use sketch and/or photo

2. Addicted to Stamps and More - Make your mark

3. Allsorts - Birthday wishes

Good Evening! 

I'm here to show you the card I made for the Sassy Studio Design Progressive Challenge which we host on Facebook - Link is HERE

The image for the Progressive Challenge this month is "Valentine Honey" - Link is HERE 

Alternatively, you can request the image via the Facebook group. 

  

She is such a Sassy Lady! 

I went with a black and white theme with a hint of red. I HAD to colour her hair in red!! 

I also had to use my red scrabble tiles on this card just for something a little different with the greeting. Both the hearts are punched out of glitter card with a gem added to the large black heart for extra detail. The bikini she is wearing is also glittery. I used a Sakura black glitter gel pen on her. 

I had fun making this card! 

I'd also like to enter this into the following challenges:

MTTC DT - Check It out!

Morning! 

A brand new challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

 

This time we have the challenge of "Check it Out!" 

 

I do love using check paper :) 

 

 

I used an image that I've had coloured up for ages! It's from Saturated Canary and is called Violet Vintage - Link is HERE 

She has been coloured using Promarkers on white linen cardstock. I wanted to go with vintage looking colours, luckily when I came to add this image to a card that I had checked paper to match! Always a bonus! :) :) 

The back layer is kraft card that's been embossed using a linen card. Added think blue ribbon and bow using an orange brad. The flower in the bottom right corner is a brown paper punched out lots of times with a brad in the middle. Just ruffle it up and you have your own flower. 

I hope you have as much fun with the challenge that we have! 

CF DT - Oddball Art Co.

Good Morning! 

Welcome to a new challenge over at Creative Fingers - Link is HERE 

As always the theme is 

"Anything Goes" 

This week we are sponsored by the awesome Oddball Art Co. - Link is HERE

I got to use the super cute and super creepy "Big Eye Creepy Cute Fairy Girl" - Link is HERE

I wasn't going to do her in pinks originally but I like her! The papers I found in my stash. 

Pretty perfect for this card I think. I had to add some spider web card just for the little dude hanging off the moon lol. Paperclips are from IKEA. 

Hope to see you all playing along! 

MTTC - Friendship/Friends

Good Morning! 

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year. 

Mine was very quiet, just a nice relax. 

So, with the start of 2016, we have a new challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

And the challenge is 

"Friendship/Friends" 

I've used an image from Faery Ink. I'd love to tell you what it's called but I can't remember! 

Both girls have been coloured using Promarkers and I've cut round the image to zone in on the two girls. I did struggle with the background as I'd coloured the image before doing the card. I had to get some blue in there! Added the gems, flowers & washi tape for extra details. Sentiment has been printed off the pc. Here's a few more pics: 

Enjoy the challenge! 

Back with a bang :) 

CF DT - Fairy Ink

Eeeeek! I love the image I've used for this card!! 

Let's start the post off properly! 

Good Morning! 

I hope you are all well wherever you are around the world. 

This week we are sponsored by the awesome Faery Ink - Link to shop HERE 

over at Creative Fingers - Link is HERE 

 As always the theme is "Anything Goes" 

This challenge will be our last for 2015 and will last 2 weeks. 

So here's what I come up with...

I LOVE this image!!! Image is called Holiday Tree Destiny - Link is HERE

She is soooo super cute! I knew straight away that I would be using her for my little cousin's Christmas card. Abigail is not very girly so I decided to colour her blue. The blonde hair represents Abigail too. I have used a 6x6 paper sheet and an embossed card with swirls on the background which have both been layered on to grey and cyan coloured card. The ribbon is from IKEA and it's got the wire running around the edge so it's easy manipulated. She has been coloured using Promarkers. 

Here's a few more pics...

  

There you have it! I really enjoyed making this card. Have fun with the challenge! 

I am also entering this into the following challenges : 

1. Crafty Catz - Shades of Blue

2. Star Stampz - All About Girls
3. Faery Ink FB Group - Winter Wonderland

MTTC DT - Quilt It!

Morning! 

A brand new challenge over at My Time To Craft today - Link is HERE 

This fortnights challenge is 

"Quilt It!" 

We want to see anything quilted on your projects, you could do ready made papers or make your own. 

Here's what I've come up with

I've actually made a christmas card!! The topper is from the Cute Christmas Pad by Hunkydory. The quilted paper I have had this for ages!!! Added the brad and ribbon, which was from Next. Love next ribbon. Rather than using a greeting printed off the pc, I decided to use a wooden wording. I think it works. 

Anyhow's, I hope to see you join the challenge :) 

Monday Greetings DT - Anything Goes

Hello everyone! 

I new challenge over at Monday Greetings on the OutLawz today - Link is HERE 

Our new challenge is "Anything Goes!" 

 

We are sponsored by Crafty Sentiments - Link to store is HERE 

I got to use the super cute Jason and Eve - Link is HERE

I have used a little play on words with the greeting. I thought it was quite appropriate with the little boy and girl :) 

  

Think I'm going through a chevron phase! Seem to be using a lot of this card at the mo. This time I went with a hint of yellow rather than blue tho. Infact, I think I'd already coloured the image in so that was pretty simple to make. I've used a grey and white spotty paper behind the image to tie in with this hair and trousers. Had to get some buttons in there too! And the play of words with the greeting made me chuckle. 

Here's a few more pics

Hope to see you join in the challenge :)
