Baby Shower

Good Morning

Hope you're ready for a new challenge over at My Time To Craft

 - Link is HERE

This fortnights challenge is "Die cuts only"

Get the use out of those dies!

  I've used a onesie die that I think is from The Greeting Farm. 

I must say, I do love this die. The possibilities are endless with it. 

The card itself needed to me neutral hence the mint green, lemon, white and grey. 

The card blank itself is also embossed with the swiss dots embossing folder. 

Hope you enjoy the challenge

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenge -

CAS on Friday - Dies

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 wanted to keep the image to three colours so I used black, blue and yellow. 

I'm liking how she turned out! 

Added a bit of yellow ribbon and a ribbon slider/buckle and the card is complete.

Hope you looking forward to another challenge over at the DTBST blog - Link is HERE 

This week we want you to add a sentiment to your project. 

I went with Cleopatra Portrait :) 

She has been coloured in using Spectrum Noir pens and I've cut out certain layers to 3D her.

The sentiment is part of the set with the image. 

Added black and gold ribbon for a bit of detail. 

Here's a couple more pics of the image: 

Hope you enjoy the challenge! 

CWWC DT - Julia Spiri

Good Morning! 

Can't you tell it's bank holiday.... yep it's raining!! 

 

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

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! :) 

Creative Fingers DT - Beccy's Place

Good Morning! 

How are you lovely people?! 

A new challenge over at Creative Fingers today - Link is HERE

As always it's Anything Goes and again for this challenge we have Beccy's Place as our sponsor - Link is HERE

They are the most lovely images! 

I got to work with Old Pump - Link is HERE

For a change I decided to colour the image in with pencils. 

I thought this would add a subtleness to the image with the card being CAS. 

After finishing the image, I'm unsure whether I like it! I know I will end up colouring it in again with Promarkers or Spectrum Noir pens! 

Anyways, enjoy the challenge! :) 

Hello! 

Back with you for another new challenge over at  Dare To Be Sassy Thursday - Link is HERE

Our theme is "Tic-Tac-Toe" 

So here is the board. You can use any line as long as it is a line: 

I've gone with - Ribbon or lace / Flowers / Die cut

I wanted to colour this image which is Sugar Skull Portrait - Link is HERE - in pastel colours to show that sugar skull images can be soft and pretty and feminine :) 

I've actually coloured this image in using pencils. No specific make either just pencils. 

I liked how it turned out tho, really soft. I also used two circle die cuts behind the image to add definition :) 

There we have it. 

Enjoy the theme :) 

Crafting When We Can - Birthday

Good Morning! 

Super quick post today.

"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 :)

She's been coloured using spectrum Noir pens. I even coloured the white space to look a little cloudy too lol. 

The sentiment is printed from the pc. It's here that I've added a bit of washi tape and on to the yellow spotty paper. Both yellow spots and blue clouds are a digital download. 

As I said super quick post from me.

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!

MTTC - Love is all around

Morning! 

A brand new challenge over at My Time To Craft - Link is HERE 

This time we have the challenge of "Love is all around" 

There are so many ways to interpret this theme. 

I went with a wedding card. 

I made this as an order for a couple who are massive Walsall FC football fans. Their colours are Red with White hence the red glitter dress. The dress itself is actually a mulberry topper, I just added loads of glitter! The frame behind is die-cut along with the panel behind being embossed. 

I really enjoyed making this card. Here's a few more pics :) 

Look forward to seeing your creations! 

DTBST DT - Recipe

Morning SSD Fans! 

A new challenge over at DTBST today - Link is HERE 

This week we want to see a recipe on your creations.

The recipe is : 

 

3 patterned papers 

2 buttons 

1 ribbon 

 

 

I used the super cute Monster Sassy Draculara - Link is HERE 

I had her coloured up ages ago but she never made it on to a card. She's been coloured using Promarkers.

The buttons I have layered on top of one another and the ribbon is between the spider web card and chevron card.
