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! 

MTTC DT - Autumn Colours

Good Morning! 

Wow, some great work by the DT for last challenge and awesome work by you guys too! 

Now it's onto another challenge for 2 weeks over at MTTC - Link is HERE 

This challenge is "Autumn Colours" 

Now, I do admit that I was struggling for colours with this, so I went onto Pinterest and found this super stunning colour combo. I tried to stick as close to it as possible... 

 

So, I used a Saturated Canary image which I haven't used in aggggeeesssss! 

Here's what I've got: 

  

The image is called Ellie's Birthday.

I have coloured her in with promarkers and a Tombow pen to add some definition to her hair. The arrows are paperclips from IKEA. I adore them and perfect for this card to match her jumper. For something different too, I printed the sentiment in vellum and layered it over the image and attached the bow & button. Of course, with some twine involved ;) 

I must admit, I'm very happy with the end result. Turned out much better than expected! 

Hope to see you stop by the blog with all those autumnal coloured creations :) 

My Time To Craft DT - Buttons & Ribbon

Good Morning!

I promise, no comic book characters in sight for this post!

Another week has gone by and that means another challenge over at My Time To Craft. this weeks challenge is 

"Use at least 3 buttons and 1 ribbon" 

Now, even tho I've got a double bow on my card, it is still only one ribbon. So here's what I've got.

I opted for a Saturated Canary girl on this card. More than likely, Mommyo will say "I'll have that one for lilly niece's birthday" I say lilly, she'll be 12 and yes, she is a pain in the backside! The buttons, I've tied twine through them as well as I thought they looked a little plain on their own. Wanted to keep it quite simple as well hence not a lot of embellishments on the card. 

A pretty short post this week. Must say, I love the app on my pc that allows me to collage my pictures! Awesome! 

Have a good day peeps and pop by the blog! ;) 

 

My Time To Craft DT - Easel Card

Good Morning! 

It's that time of the week again for another challenge over at My Time To Craft. This week we have an awesome challenge, 

"Easel Cards"

It's been a while since I made one of these but my days did I enjoy it! It's given me an idea for another one though. 

Full Card

I'm still not convinced on her hair tho. For blonde, I think it's a bit bright?! I also wanted to step away from the norm as well and use some different colours. I always end up using the same colours and I have sooooooo much paper I can use. The image is a Saturated Canary digi image. I do love these images. I've used quite a few different embellishments too. Think I've gone a bit OTT. The butterflies have been punched out. I love the sentiment on this card too. Again was printed off the computer, "Style is knowing who you are, what you want, and not giving a damn" 

Here's a few more pictures:

 Off to have a look round a few blogs..

Untraditional christmas colours....

Good Morning! 

Rain here today. I'm on dinner duty so no going out which suits me! Plus, I'm well proud of myself.... 

Finally managed to get the last two christmas cards done!! 

 

WAHAY!!

Anyways, on to the post and card I'm showcasing today. 

Having such a big group of family and friends, sometimes, can be a pain the backside... I always run out of idea's! It's made worse by both my Mom & Dad and I sending double cards to my Auntie & Uncle and both cousins, so that's two completely different cards I make for them... Next year, I'm having ideas on a postcard! LOL!! First up, is Abigail's card off me using a Saturated Canary image in

 

Untraditional christmas colours....

 

  I do love these little ladies.

Full Card

Naughty or Nice is about right for Abigail! This looks like her too. She has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens and cut out. That took a while as well! Snowflake embossed panel as per and of course a couple of snowflakes layered up with a ribbon and bow. I was going to put her name on it, but couldn't fit it on. Not even around the scallop circle.

Snowflakes

So, I'm entering my card into the follwoing:

1. Saturated Canary - Untraditional Christmas Colours
2. Crafty Catz - Anything Goes
3. Totally Papercrafts - Christmas using Non Traditional Colours

I'm off to prepare dinner. Catch you all later.

Creative Inspirations GDT - Contemporary Christmas Colours

Don't you just hate it when you schedule a post and then your internet decides it's not going play! 

Got to love my network provider. 

Anyway, onto the main post. 

For December, I am the Guest DT member over at Creative Inspirations. Very exciting! 

This weeks challenge is 

"Contemporary Christmas Colours"

So no Red, Green or Gold! 

Here's what I've done.

Full Card

This is actually 1 of 2 cards that I've done as part of a big order. Will pop a picture on later of the other card. The papers are from two different packs, Docrafts Capsule collection Spots & Strips - Festive and Special Delivery. The image is called "Noel" and is from Saturated Canary. She can be found HERE. She has been coloured with Spectrum Noir pens, cut out and slightly raised away from the background image. Luckily, when I was sorting through my ribbon drawer, I found some ribbons that match perfectly! Wahay! And of course, a couple of snowflakes were added. 

Here's a few more pics:

Layers

 And here is the other card but with the papers the other way round.

Quite a few pics there! 

Please take a look at the blog and come play along. Happy crafting! 

Shaped card

So, my blog has decided that it won't allow me to upload any pictures. How very rude of it. So, it seems to be working now and there will be a few posts for me..

First up, 1 challenge for "flower power" and 2 challenges for "shaped cards". I've used a bracket card but cut the straight edge. I don't like one edge being straight, what's that all about?! 

Anyway, the card:

I have gone a bit OTT on the flowers! LOL The image is from Saturated Canary. I must admit, I didn't like these to start with but now I love them! Much prefer digi's to stamps as well.

Here's a few close ups:

Flowers

Sentiment

The 2 challenges I'm entering this card into are:

1. Charisma Cardz
2. Totally Papercrafts
3. One Stop Crafts - Flower Power
