MTTC DT - One Layer

Well... I've no idea where my posts have been going! 

Anywhos, a new challenge at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE

This fortnight our challenge is 

"One Layer" 

I've used an awesome image from Make It Crafty - Link to store is HERE 

To make my card are cropped the image on the pc and printed it straight out on to card. 

She's been mainly coloured in using promarkers apart from her hair where I added copics to add some definition. I am really happy with how this turned out! 

My first ever one layer card. I will be trying this again. 

The image I have used is called Felicity - Link is HERE 

Thanks for popping by :) 

CWWC DT - Hearts

Good Morning! 

  We have a brand new challenge over at Crafting When We Can today - Link is HERE 

The challenge  for this fortnight is 

 

"Hearts" 

 

We want to see Hearts on your projects. Perfect for just before valentine's :)

For this challenge we are sponsored by the awesome Sami Stamps - Link is HERE 

I got to use the awesome image of Wild Flower Beauty - Link is HERE

I went with a CAS card as the image is so beautiful. 

 

 

She has been coloured using promarkers with copics on the hair to add some depth too. The background is embossed swirls and the hearts have been punched out. Added a bit of bling but no sentiment as I wanted the image to be prominent. 

I hope you enjoy the challenge as much as we did! 

PLEASE remember to follow the rules too! 

Have fun :)

 

 

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 :) 

MTTC DT - Inspired by The Beatles

Good Morning! 

Another fun filled challenge over at My Time To Craft this fortnight!! - Link is HERE 

Our challenge is 

"Inspired by The Beatles" 

It's up to you how you interpret the theme. 

I went for something a little quirky and used and SBS image - Link to store is HERE 

I mainly wanted to stick to a couple of colours and the red and blue sits well together. I've used 3 different types of patterned papers to add layers. The buttons and twine are added to the chevron strip with the greeting being printed off the pc. The image I've used is ASH from Jude and the Rockers range by Rachel Sharp. I do love these images! I've got the whole set so there maybe more cards made in the same colour schemes :) 

Looking forward to see how everyone makes something with the theme :) 

 

CWWC DT - Sketch challenge

Good Morning! 

I'm now on day my 6th day of working in a row. I do not mind doing it but I neeeeed to craft! LOL 

This weeks challenge over at Crafting When We Can is a sketch! My favourite! 

- Link is HERE.

 

This week we are sponsored by Inky Impressions and I've had the image "Angelica's Yummy's" to play with - Link to image HERE

I went with a christmas theme as I wanted to use the gingerbread couple on the backing tray. I love gingerbread men especially the one out of Shrek. He cracks me up! the image itself was colouring using Tombow pens and Copics. The paper is out of a vintage paper stack that I've had for ages! Always the way. 

Anyhoo's, enough rambling. Do stop by the blog and play along with the sketch :) 

Sassy Studio Designs - Sponsorship

Morning Sassy Fans! 

Another sponsors post from me today :) 

This one is for The Outlawz and the challenge is "Twisted Easel" - Link is HERE.

I think I've found a new favourite SSD image, Sugar Skull Portrait!!! - Image link is HERE.

You can't see on the pic but the navy backing card is embossed. The red flowers, leaves and silver swirl are all die cuts. I added the pearls to the middle of the flowers to add some extra detail... or to cover the glue! LOL The image itself has been coloured with copics and promarkers. Had to add a bow as it looked  too plain. I also wanted to keep the colour scheme down to just a few colours. 

Really enjoyed making this twisted easel card. Hadn't made one for ages! 

I hope you join in too :) 

FBF - Buttercream Babe

Good Morning! 

The last installment of the buttercream babes! 

This one is awesome! 

This one... Ariel! loved it! Added the gems to look like water bubbles. She was coloured using copics and promarkers. 

So... now I can finally show you the big project I used these for....

I've not decided what to do with the photo frame yet. I've now got the clips as I lost them all too! Typical me that! Think I've had the frame for like 3 years LOL 

Anyhows, I hope you've enjoyed the Buttercream Babes! Be sure to check out the new release as well ;) 

Sassy Studio Designs - Sponsorship

Morning Sassy Fans! 

Here today with another sponsorship card. This time we are sponsoring Crafting from the Heart - Link to blog is HERE.

The challenge theme is "cheeky"

I've used Pin Up Bunny and go with a bit of play on words ;) 

She's been coloured with grey copics, skin tone spectrum noir's and brown hair promarkers. I also used a glitter pun on her garter and shoes. Kept the card quite CAS as I think the image speaks for itself :) 

There we have it. I hope you will stop by the blog and join in :) 

 

CWWC DT - Favourite Colour Combo

Good Morning CWWC fans! 

A brand new challenge over at Crafting When We Can today - Link to blog HERE.

This fortnights challenge is "Favourite Colour Combo" 

Usually I got with my football teams colours, Claret & Blue, but I'm loving Red & Grey at the moment, so I went with this combo. 

We are also Sponsored by the awesome Art by Mi Ran - Link to Etsy Store HERE.

I was lucky enough to get to use Dreaming Of Spring - Link to image HERE.

Not a lot of mat and layering on my card. Wanted to keep it quite simple with the colours and design. I LOVE chevron paper!! And I also have a chevron embossing folder... bonus! The image itself has been coloured using Promarkers ans Copics. Added the spotty ribbon and bow to add a different pattern. Wasn't too sure whether it would work, but I think it does :) 

Looking forward to seeing all your fav colour combos! 

MTTC DT - Fairies

Morning MTTC peeps! 

One of my favourite types of images for the new challenge over at My Time To Craft this week....

FAIRIES!! 

eeeeeek! LOVE them.. I have soooooo many different images, I didn't know which one to pick but went with a Make It Crafty one just cuz she is super cute! 

She's called Roxi - Image link is HERE. She's mainly been coloured with Promarkers and Copics. I wanted to do her quite dark and dingy beens usually, fairies are light and colourful. Well not Roxi! 

The sentiment I printed off the pc. Had a job with the glittery twine too, well, it's more like string, trying the tread it through the button was hard LOL 

 Pop over to the blog and come play along! :) 

Sassy Studio Designs - Sponsorship

Good Morning Sassy Fans! 

This week we are sponsoring the Fab 'n' Funky challenge - link is HERE. 

And their challenge is.... "Gorgeous Girls" 

An easy peasy one right?! 

Here's what I've come up with....

I've used the super stunning image that is Showgirl - image can be found on this link HERE.

I wanted to use just a couple of colours so went with red, grey & black. The card base itself I've had for a while but never knew what to do with it until now. The panels were cut out of an old paper pad that I'd never used too lol. Amazing what you find! 

There we have it. Pop by the challenge blog too if you get chance.. it's a great blog! 

MTTC DT - All White

Morning! 

Another Saturday can only mean another challenge over at My Time To Craft. 

This weeks challenge is "All White Except The Image".

I do like making white on white cards and went with a Tiddly Inks image for this one. Image is Wryn BFF - link is HERE.

The image has been coloured using promarkers and Copics. Mixing it up again ;) 

I wanted a CAS style card as to show off the image more. The backing is chevron embossed with the ribbon wrapped around it. I attached the bow with a brad too. The sentiment is printed off the pc and it reads "Our friendship is like a cup of tea, a special blend of you and me" No doubt my friend with nabb this! lol 

That's it from me this week... going to try and find something to do beens there's no football on :'( 

hehehe... 

MTTC DT - Spring Flowers

Good Morning! 

I hope we inspire you with our Spring Flowers over at MTTC this week.

I was going to use a different image but realised I'd purchased the wrong one but no biggy cuz I loooove this image from Just Inklined.

The image as I said earlier is from Just Inklined and is called Narcissus. I think these flowers are white with yellow/orange centers. I planned on doing this and then coloured a petal in yellow so I had no choice unless I wanted to start again lol. Beens I'd coloured the image in yellow I thought I'd be bright and use yellow spotty paper too. I always back everything on black so that was no surprise really. I wanted to keep the image the main focus so kept the embellishments to a minimum.

So there we have it, spring has sprung :) 

FBF - Pin Up Cat

Afternoon! Well just about.. 

Today's post for you is a Flash Back Friday image from Sassy Studio Designs which is Pin Up Cat.
Info can be found over at Sassy Studio Designs.

I've gone for a CAS look today in pink with a hint of grey. The image itself has been coloured using promarkers and copics. I have recently just discovered using promarkers Blush, Buttercup & Ivory for blonde hair (in that order too). Usually I stick to brown LOL. I've coloured eyes in green too, just like a cat. Her suit, shoes, ears, lips & eyes have been glittered up. Can't really see in the picture tho. The sentiment I printed off the pc and it reads "What greater gift then the love of a cat? - Charles Dickens" Very apt. 

That's the post from me done. She is an awesome Pin Up! 

CWWC DT - Song theme

Good Morning!

The sun is shining again today.. although it's abit chilly in the wind, but hey, least it's not raining! 

So a new challenge over at CWWC this fortnight and we are sponsored by Faery Ink. 

The challenge is 

"sing me a song" - song title/song lyric. 

Mine's a pretty easy one tbh! One of my favourite films too LOL 

I think the image fits perfectly for my song lyric which is taken from.. yep! you guessed it.. Toy Story! The image I've used is called Autumn Rose & Arielle Besties which can be found HERE. I've used spectrum noirs, promarkers and copic's to colour the girls in. I've left it quite CAS too as there are lots of colours going on. 

I hope you'll come and play along.. such a great challenge this week! 

Creative Fingers DT - Anything Goes

Good Morning! 

Well another Friday and another DT for me! 

I'm now part of the DT over at Creative Fingers.

We have sponsors but our challenges are always "Anything Goes". 

So this week we are sponsored by Scrappers Delight. 

I've used a freebie... Funky Ashley which can be found HERE. She's been coloured using a variety of pens, Spectrum Noirs, Promarkers & Copics. I clearly couldn't decide on what to use! LOL 

Added a button & twine.. I think this is my signature piece and finished off with a printed greeting. 

 I do hope you'll stop by the blog and join in. Enjoy! 

New Baby..

Second post of the day from me. 

This time I'm sharing with you a card I made for my Brother & Sister-in-Law on the birth of my Nephew last week. 

It's an All Dressed Up Image called My Baby Shower. The image can be found HERE.I've taken off the wording on the image and added my own. 

I printed the image direct on to 8x8 paper and then printed just the image on to white card stock, coloured and cut it out. I've 3d'd the items on the line to add some depth. Image was coloured using copics and spectrum noir pens. A CAS card but effective, I can see me making more long these lines especially with this adorable image!

I'm entering this challenge in to the following: 

1. All Dressed Up - Anything Goes

2. The Pink Elephant - Picture Inspiration 

(I've used the blue & white colours and interpreted the picture as spring = new life)

3.Crafty Cardmakers - Spring Has Sprung

4. Creative Fingers - Anything Goes

Thanks for popping by and taking a peek!
