My Time To Craft DT - Sympathy

Morning everyone! 

Hope you are all well. 

I'm off away for the weekend for my Sister-in-Law to be's hen weekend. So this may be a short/quickish post from me. 

A subject I always get stuck with for the challenge over at My Time To Craft which is 

"Sympathy" 

It's a hard subject at the best of times but I wanted to keep the card CAS (Clean And Simple). 

A few die-cuts, a bit of embossing, of course there was going to be some twine in there somewhere  and some pearls. The flower and leaf is actually a punch but the ovals and swirl are die-cuts. 

Told you it was a short/quick post! Hope everyone has a great weekend. 

Don't forget to stop by the blog 

Oh so Gorjuss....

Afternoon Peeps! 

Today is one of those days that I love to hate.. Lots of football to watch but it's miserable and I just can't get warm. Think I will sit by the radiator in a sec! 

Anyways, I did have a little bit of creative moment earlier and came up with a card using a Gorjuss Girl. I do love these little girls. They are super cute. I've used green and pink for the colour scheme.

Do you find that you tend to use the same colours? 

So, here is the Gorjuss Girl.. 

Full Card

 She's been coloured using Spectrum Noirs and then cut out. The background that she's on it glittered but you can't really tell in picture. I added the gems to add a bit of black to tie all the colours in. 

Here's a few more pics...

I'm going to enter this card into the following challenges, plus a DT call:

1. Totally Gorjuss - Ribbon
2. Allsorts - Free & Easy
3. 2 Sisters - DT Call

Off to watch another football game...

Green with Snowflakes

Afternoon peeps! 

Whilst my internet is deciding to play along, I thought I'd write this post up. 

I don't know about you, but when I started doing this card I thought "Why did I offer to do this?!" I had a complete mind blank, specially with it being for a mate's mom which is off him!! Eeeeek! After much deliberation, I finally have something that I'm happy with....

Full Card

Originally, I wanted to do the card white with white glitter but you might know that the glittered snowflake vellum wouldn't show up! Grrr... I thought about the other usual christmas colours but I wasn't happy with any of them. Then I came across this green mirror card. Sorted. Finally I could use the vellum that's benn sat in my drawer for over a year! I've stitched the vellum to the green as to not have any glue marks. The ribbon is also stitched to the card with the bow being attatched by a brad. Got to add a little bit of bling. The snowflakes and flowers are die cuts with the leaves being punched out of the green card, white card and vellum. A couple of hat pins and some gems and finished. 

Here's a few more pics...

Flowers & Leaves

Snowflakes

 I think really that the snowflake should have been bang in the corner but beggars can't be choosers! 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

1. Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes

2. Oldie but a Goodie - Ribbon and/or Lace

3. Creative Craft - Non-traditional Christmas Colours

Thanks for popping by! 

Mom's the word...

It's that time of year again, oh how I love this time of year... Mommyo's Birthday. 

Thinking caps at the ready! 

Now most will get away with making one card for their Mommyo's birthday, but nope, not mine. I have the task of making 4... 4 that will have to be completely different. Luckily for me though, She likes a lot of things and a lot of colours, so I'm pretty safe with almost everything.

 So the card that is off me is this... 

Full Card

The image is from Crafts U Print and it is a digi image which has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens. Best pens ever! I love them! In the close up picture, I used a Sakura Stardust pen to add some shimmer. 

I'm entering this in to the In The Pink challenge of "Ribbons & Bows". First time with this challenge blog, as I only came across it the other day. 

Close up

I think you can just about make out the shimmer...

This was the other card off my Brother & Partner, Daddyo's card is coming up in the next post.

The sentiment, I printed off the computer. The sentiment needed to be the main focus but I felt it looked plain without a bit of detail.

First time in ages that I've managed to get on here!

Anyways onto the card.. It's a 6x6 card (been a while since I made one of these too!) 

Full Card

Haven't got a greeting on it as of yet tho... I might add one, and I've just noticed a pearl has fallen off in the bottom left corner D'oh!

Off to do the next few posts... 

Papertake Weekly - Ribbons & Pearls

 Second post of the day then...  

This time, our attentions are on the Papertake Weekly Challenge, which is :

 "Ribbons & Pearls"

… so all you have to do is include either / or or both somewhere on your card on project. 

 I've used both, plus some other details. I am actually pleased with the outcome. I didn't think the papers matched the backing paper but I works. 

So, here is the card in question:

Totally love the "Some Odd Girl" digi's. They are soooo versatile. The card itself is quite simple but the details make it elegant. The Heart the couple are holding has been printed onto the same backing paper and has been cut out. The same with the girl's headband. Image has been coloured using promarkers.

Think I'll be using this image again! You can find the shop here - Some Odd Girl. 

Second post done... on to the next.
