SSD Progressive Challenge - Valentine Honey

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: 

1. Cupcake Inspiration - challenge #347

 

2. Make My Monday - Love 

3. The Cutie Pie Challenge Blog - All you need is cutie love

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 :)

 

 

CF DT - Anything Goes

Good Morning! 

I'm back on the right team this week for the "Anything Goes" challenge over at Creative Fingers. 

This week I've gone with a card that's got no image on it. It was for my Brother and Sister-in-Law's 1st Wedding Anniversary :)

Pretty much every piece of card has been embossed that includes the vellum on the hearts too which have been punched out. The colour scheme for the wedding was white, navy blue and silver so I used the navy and silver against the white.  I can say as well, they loved it! And it's now in frame. 

Hope you come join in the challenge! :) 

My Time To Craft DT - Fantasy

Good Morning! 

An awesome challenge for you over at MTTC this week....

"Fantasy" 

Dragons, fairies, wizards, witches... you get the idea. 

I've gone for Mistress of Evil by Lacy Sunshine. As soon as I seen her, a lightbulb went off and I brought her. 

My friend absolutely LOVES Maleficent and purple so this was perfect for her birthday which is coming up soon. the text in the top right corner is the spell that Maleficent casts on Princess Aurora. The font is also Maleficent font too. The grey panel has been embossed with a damask embossing folder. The image itself has been coloured using promarkers. The ribbon is like false lace effect. Had to get a bit of bling on there too :) 

  I hope you all enjoy this challenge as much as I did! 

My Time To Craft DT - Oriental

Good Morning! 

Hope everyone is well in crafty world :) 

Straight in to today's post from me.. This week over at MTTC the challenge is 

"Oriental" 

Brilliant challenge theme! I do love oriental but never seem to make many cards on this theme although I have lots of oriental images and papers. So this week I got to play with some old(ish) stash. The image is new though... loving the Lacy Sunshine images atm...

The image I've used is Emily's Kimono which can be found HERE.I've coloured her using a mix of promarkers, copics and spectrum noir pens. Sentiment has been printed off the pc. I had to add a button and twine! I've not added any to a card for a while. Added the flowers and pearl for a bit more detail. 

Happy with the look of the card.. have been wanting to use those papers for a while! 

Hope you can come play along :) 

My Time To Craft DT - Use Kraft

What a lovely day here, Good Mornign to you all. 

One of my favourite types of card use on your creations this week over at My Time To Craft

"Use Kraft" 

You can colour on it or mat & layer with it....as long as it can be seen!

The only thing I didn't do was colour on it. I LOVE using kraft card! 

 As I was using kraft card, I decided to use brown tones on the whole card. The image is from Crafts and Me and I've coloured her using Spectrum Noir pens TN9, TN8, TN7, TN6, TN5, TN4, TN3, TN2 & TN1. The background is my new embossing folder, which I love! it's awesome! I've added quite a few embellsihments on this card which is something a lilly different from me. 

Can't wait to see what creations are made up! 

My Time To Craft DT - All About The Love

Good Morning! 

A "lovely" challenge over at My Time To Craft this week. Yep, you guessed it, it's "all about the love" and getting ready for Valentine's Day. Now, I must admit, I don't really do Valentine's Day but I have made this card in mind to give to someone. Whether or not that happens is another thing! 

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

Full Card

Thought I'd go with someat a bit different and non traditional and used lime green! Obviously I had to use a heart on it somewhere and what better image to use than the little Meople lass from C.C Designs. I do love these little dudes. A little sentiment, also part of the set. A bit of twine n a button. I don't like putting too many embellishments on cards for men. Think that's just enough tho. 

Image and sentiment

Dimension

Suppose I best do the inside just incase I do decide to give it to it's intended recepient. 

Please do pop by and play along.

No Digi's....

 

.... This was a challenge just in itself! I pretty use a digi for every single card!

But, as it happened I was asked to make a Wedding Card.

 

So no digi's for the Charisma Cardz challenge, here is the card...

 

Book-a-trix

 

A mixture of text, flowers, hearts & pearls.

Wasn't so sure of all the white at first, but it's turned out okay. The dark card is actually navy too.

 

Here's a few more pics:

 

Left Side

Right Side

Bow

 

I decorated the box the same but forgot to a pic! Clever as always ;)

I'm sure I seen a challenge somewhere for a "Gents & Gems" do you think I can find it?! So I'm off for a blog hop :) 

Favourite Embellishment....

This is a tricky one... after much deliberation... It would be safe to say that bows are my favourite embellishment. I'm sure I put a bow on pretty much everything! Apart from mens cards of course.

Crafts and Me challenge this week is... yep, you guessed it... Favourite Embesllishment. 

Here's my card with my favourite embellishment on it:

card

Could possibly say that pearls/gems are also a fave embellishment. Go through packs of them! 

The image I have used is called "April" She's been coloured with promarkers. I think the layout is from a past sketch challenge, not sure where from tho! 

Definitely done now.. No posts for a few days :) 

Red Head Mae

Ah, I'm doing well... 2nd post this week! 

Straight into it then... How adorable is this image?! If you haven't checked out the Some Odd Girl site, please do check it out here. They do rubber stamps and digi's. Although not so sure you will be able to decide what to purchase! I always have trouble. They are just to lovely! 

So, the card I've made I'm entering into 2 challenges, one being a sketch and the other being a theme. Struggled with the sketch, contemplated turning it around but changed my mind. 

Full Card

Quite a vibrant card but looking at it now... not sure I like the blue gingham?! Oh well, nout I can do about it! 

So the challenges:

1. Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Sketch #188-89

2. Papertake Weekly - "Happy New...." 

For the "Happy New...." I have used my new ultimate pro board to get the oval, new brads & new stamp. She is also a newish image.

Close up.

Enough rambling, I'm off to make some fairies...

Ruby Anniversary

Afternoon..

Right, where to start... Oh yes, the order that I'm about to blog about.....

Now, I'm not one to really make cards from toppers, but when my mate asked if I could make her Mum & Dad's Ruby Anniversary card, from her, I said "Sure, why not" Had a lot of ideas flying round my head, but then my mate said "I've got a topper" Well... woah! Safe to say, I don't like toppers. I find that sometimes you are limited with colours n patterned papers that you can use.. But, after receiving the topper, all was not lost. I'm happy with the end result anyway :) 

Wanted to do, let's say... not a normal shaped card, well, the topper wouldn't have fit anyways! So, I went with an 8" by 8" scallop edged card and an A4 box! 

So, without much more rambling, here is the finished card:

I'm going to enter this into the Simon Says Stamp Challenge which is 

USE DIES and/or PUNCHES

So, my punched items are the leaves and hearts and my die items are the swirl and "40" number.

Think I've rambled on enough now.... 

Totally Tilda & Bunting

Well as it says in the title, Totally Tilda & Bunting.. Does exactly what it say's on the tin! LOL 

Right then, so the Totally Tilda blog is having a DT call.. with a picture as inspiration. I've used the colours as inspiration, well as near as I could get. 

The idea for bunting came when I was sat in my Auntie's last sunday and my cousin was cutting out the shapes. I said "oh, I could put tilda's on each one n put Abigail's name on it. She can put it in her room then" so that's what I have done. Each one represents what Abigail does. She loves football, she always picking flowers or dressing up in pretty dresses.

Took a while to make mind! Here are some close up pictures of the indiviual pieces:

Gymnastic Tilda, Spring Tilda, Tilda with Flowers

Sitting Tilda, Dressed up Tilda

Football Tilda, Heart Apron Tilda

 

 Each piece I've tried to do different and add different detail to it. Think I've managered to pull it off! 

I'm entering this into the following challenges:

• Totally Tilda - DT call
• Cupcake Craft - Bunting
