Cinderella

Hello! 

Hope you are all well in your little part of the world. 

Time for a brand new challenge over at Crafting When We Can - Link is HERE

This fortnight's challenge is....

 

black and white with a splash of colour

 

We are sponsored by Star Stampz - Link is HERE 

The image I got to use was Cinderella - Link is HERE 

 

I went with a black and white spotty background with the splash of colour as the blue ribbon. 

I've coloured the eyes, dress and headband in blue too.  I've used Marco Rafine pencils.

 

Here's what I came up with...

 

 

A very CAS card too. 

 

Hope you enjoy the challenge.

Dragon...

Hello! 

Hope you are all well in your little part of the world. 

Time for a brand new challenge over at Crafting When We Can - Link is HERE

This fortnight's challenge is....

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! 

 Anyways, here is what I made....

Image is coloured using spectrum noir pens. I went with non traditional colours, I mean how many times do you see teal and orange toadstools?! 

The orange paper is from a paper pad with the purple paper a digital download. 

Added a ribbon, bow. twine and a button and some gems. 

The Sentiment I'll add later on :) 

Remember to follow the rules. 

Enjoy!

A Happy Sunny Day...

Good Morning! 

Time for a brand new challenge over at Crafting When We Can - Link is HERE

This fortnights challenge is one of my faves.... CAS! 

Clean And Simple

We are sponsored once more by Doodle Digistamps - Link is HERE

I've been lucky enough to use the image Bea and Tea - Link is HERE  

This time round, I've just used one of the girls. 

  Here's my CAS card: 

I have cut her out, coloured her with Spectrum Noir pens, added wooden "happy" wording and added a few pearls. 

CAS is lot's of blank space. 

I did write down the colours I used but I think I've binned it! 

A super short post from me today. 

Enjoy the challenge

One For the Girls

Good Morning! 

Welcome to a new challenge over at Crafting When We Can - Link is HERE 

This fortnights challenge is 

"One For The Girls" 

We have a super awesome sponsor for this challenge,  Doodle Digistamps - Link is HERE

I've been lucky enough to use the image Bea and Tea - Link is HERE  

Rather than using the images on one card, I decided to make two! 

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

 I went with a CAS look for these cards as I love the images, I wanted them to stand out more. 

I think I've achieved that! 

Both girls have been coloured in using Spectrum Noir Pens. 

I am going to post the colours used as sometimes trying to the find the right combinations is hard! 

The Sentiments are both printed onto the cardstock as well. 

I've added the die-cut borders to the tops and stickles and pearls for extra details. 

Here's a better look at the cards with the pen combos underneath...

Skin : FS3, FS1, FS2 | Hair : GB7, EB3, OR2, OR1 

Hat & Dress Blue : TB9, TB8, TB4 | Bow & Dress White : BGR3, BGR2, BGR1.

 Skin : FS3, FS1, FS2 | Hair : EB2, EB1, TN1

Glasses & Pants : DR7, DR6, DR5 | Top : IB3, IB2, IB1.

 There we have it... Two cute little CAS cards. 

We hope you enjoy the challenge... PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW THE RULES! 

Enjoy...

I wish to enter these in to the following challenge:

1) Addicted to Stamps  - Not a square card

CWWC DT - Animals

Gooooooood Morning! 

Super excited today as I get to see my best friend and my Godson, which ironically, what I'm about to show you today is for him! 

So a new challenge over at Crafting When We Can - Link is HERE 

And this fortnight's challenge is Animals. 

Brilliant! As I've been waiting to show this!! 

So, I wanted to make someathing for my Godson and remembered his room is all about animals. 

This is what happened....

There's going to be a few pics!! 

Everything on this jungle mobile apart from the "TED" has been cut out by hand. 

"TED" is die cut. It's a good job dies work with felt too! 

So, everything is made out or felt and handstitched together. 

I had to get some buttons in there somewhere! 

Here's some more pics....

I soooooo loved making these, I'll probably end up making another one as well. 

I hope you enjoy the challenge and please please please... follow the rules. 

Enjoy!

The challenge  for this fortnight is 

"Add Flowers" 

And we are sponsored by Julia Spiri - Link is HERE 

I was able to use the image Birds & Hair - Link is HERE

I am trying something different with this card. I had to cut a frame down for a lego frame that I've made and the excess just so happens to for an A5 card. So I thought I'd put it to some use :) 

I have left the image light with the hints of purple and green and added the flowers and gems along the edge. 

I like the finished product. I think it's quite qwirky :) 

Enjoy the challenge.. remember to add those flowers! :)

"Birthday" 

I got to use this amazing image which is called Willow - Link is HERE

I did start off with the image being greys, then added a red. I think the red pops. 

I also wanted a CAS layout to show off the image. 

I think the red hair really shouts at you. I've used black glitter card for the background too. 

And look, not a button or piece of twine in sight! ;) 

Thanks for popping by! 

Enjoy the challenge :)

I decided to go with a CAS look and cut out the monkeys so I could 3D them in the circles. 

The circles have been punched out of the card and layered onto Giraffe design paper. 

I am going to add his name to it in the giraffe papers too once I can get my machine out to cut them out lol. 

I do love these little cuties!

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.

Hello! 

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

Where the challenge is "Any Occasion". 

And for this challenge we are sponsored by Art By Mi Ran - Link is HERE

The image I've used is called Rora & Butterfly - Link is HERE

I went with pinks and a hint of red and gold for the image so I could tie the background and embellishments in. The image itself has been coloured in promarkers. And I've used a bracket shaped card instead of a normal square one. 

There is no sentiment on there as I've not decided what occasion to use it for yet :) 

Hope you enjoy the challenge! 

CWWC DT - Distress it

Morning! 

Super quick post from me as it's my Nephew's Christening today! Eeeek! 

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

We are sponsored by the awesome Oddball Art Co. - Link to store is HERE 

And our challenge is "Distress it!" 

I've used Big Eye Eve Has Something To Say - Link is HERE 

And I tried to stick to the red, blue and black colour combo, which is reflected in the buttons and colours used on the image itself. The sentiment has been printed off the pc. To distress my card, I roughed up the edges of the paper and cards. You can use various tools, I like to use a craft knife tho.

As I say, Super quick from me. Hope you enjoy your Sunday and look forward to seeing your creations on the blog! :) 

CWWC DT - Whimsical With Wings

Good Morning! 

I was AWOL for the last challenge, my apologies! I didn't realise the date as it was my Dad's 60th Birthday weekend so most things went out the window that weekend.

Here's what I've come up with, 

The card itself is an 8" by 8", boy did I print the image way too big!! But I think it works. I coloured the little dude in with Spectrum Noir Pens and used a swirly embossed background. Sentiment is printed off the pc. 

Hope to see you stop by the blog and play along :)

I got to use the super cute image of The Mittens - Link is HERE

And here's what I've come up with...

I decided to go with red and white as I love this for Christmas cards. This is only the second or third one I've made! EEEEKKK! I really need to start them! 

The image has been coloured in using promarkers. The background itself is embossed and the ribbon is from Next. You get 3 on a spool. Not bad really!
