But I'm back and here to show my DT card for My Time To Craft - Link is HERE

The challenge for this fortnight is " Krafty" So use kraft card on your project. 

I've gone for an image by All Dressed Up which is printed onto kraft card and coloured with Marco Rafine Pencils. 

First try with these again, I'm getting better..... I think 🙈 

Image used is part of the  "Party Season" - Link is HERE

The kraft card I cut on the curve and added it to the striped and spotty paper. 

Added a few flowers, twirly things, a trim and a sentiment to finish the card off. 

I'm pretty pleased with it. Need a bit more practise with the pencils tho! 😉

I've gone down the colouring on kraft again for this challenge beens I had so much fun using kraft as my background base. 

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 to see you join us over on the blog too :)

Hello! 

Super quick post from me today with this weeks Flash Back Friday image which is Little Pocahontas.

She is FREE for 24 hours on the Facebook group - Link is HERE  

I wanted to do the native American look with her skin tone. I'm not completely happy with it but still, I like it. I used a hint of teal to brighten the card up and used chevron paper for the background. 

Super quick from me, post your finished creations on the group :) 

Good Morning Peeps! 

A super quick post from me today.. I'm heading back to bed! 

Last few days have been so hectic at work.. But still managed to find time to do some crafting!

A new challenge over at My Time To Craft which is "Male" 

Perfect for those father's day cards ;) 

Opted for a Boofle image on this and someat quite CAS. My dad doesn't do fussy! And he is most certainly my biggest critic after myself LOL! Probably get that trait from him, I'm a daddy's girl most definitely :) 

As I say, short and sweet from me this week. Pop over to the blog :) 

Good Afternoon.. 

This month I am joining the Facebook for team for the Progressive Challenge.

You can join in with the challenge over at the Sassy Studio Designs Fan Page which is HERE.

So, as the title says the challenge is Steampunk.....eeeeeeekkkkkk!!! 

I struggle so bad with Steampunk so this is definitely a challenge for me too. The image we have to use is Josephine Steampunk Frame. Here's what I came up with...

I have coloured her with a mix of Spectrum Noirs, Promarkers and Tombow pens. The paper is out my stash along with the ribbon and brad. I wanted to replicate the cogs off the image but I don't have any dies so I used a circle and scallop punch instead to add a bit of cog like detail. 

I think I'd like to revisit this in a couple of weeks and re-do to see if I've improved. May have to look for some cogs too lol. 

Come join the facebook if you haven't already and feel free to join in with the challenge :)

We also have the FBF image today too. Here is my creation with the image... Steampunk Amelia

 

Morning!

Hope everyone is well and not too wet! 

It's definitely been April showers so far where I am. 

so onto a new challenge over at MTTC. This week's challenge is "Get Krafty" - use kraft card.

I've used Cupcake Anya from The Greeting Farm which can be found HERE.

I've used a 6x6 kraft card, red card stock and white/green spotty paper. The image I've had coloured up for ages but never used her on a card until now. It literally took about 30 mins to do this card and that was only because I couldn't find my red spotty ribbon! The "cupcake" is wooden lettering and I've added the "hey...."


Enjoy using your kraft supplies!
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek :)

Hello! I'm sure I seem to be blogging later and later LOL! 

What I really want to be doing is reading my book. I've nearly finished the fourth book of the Caster Chronicles, the first book is the film "Beautiful Creatures" Brilliant books! 

Anyways, I'm showing you a card tonight that I've made for Mother's Day

The image is from Aurora Wings and I love her! She's one of the first images I brought and I was a lilly horrified of colouring it in but I'm glad I did! I went for subtle tones for a change. I love the lilac and green together. The image is called Gardenia and can be found HERE. I've coloured her with promarkers too. Not a spectrum noir in sight! It was too intricate for them LOL. Wanted to kepp it simple and emphasize the image. I added some really tiny pearls to mirror the image. 

I'd like to enter this creation in to the following: 

1. Passion for Promarkers - For a Special Lady

2. Cute Card Thursday - Celebrate! 

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Another Saturday... Another challenge over at MTTC.

This weeks challenge is 

"Lace" 

So use any kind of lace on your creations. 

I struggles with this. One - because I couldn't find any inspiration, Two - because I had the smallest piece of lace in my stash ever!! I think I've pulled it off though...

A CAS card from me this week.. in all fairness, what could I do with that tiny piece of lace?! LOL 

I've used a Tiddly Inks image called Sweet Tooth which can be found HERE and coloured her with spectrum noirs. I also coloured the gems in with the noir pens, they were silver. They don't take long to dry either to be fair. I did originally decide to make an ATC but thougth it would work quite well on this card. Gave me an excuse to use my wooden words too! 

Will be interesting seeing all your lace creations. Enjoy :) 

Good Morning! 

I have no idea what happened with last weeks post.. it's just disappeared! 

Some great Snowman creations as well. 

This weeks challenge over at MTTC is "ATC"

An ATC is 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches for anyone that doesn't know. 

This is what I've come up with....

I've used glitter snowf;ake papers,wood greeting and die cut snowflakes. I HAD to add some bling too :) 

More than likely, I'll put this on a card with the same background and use this as a focal point. 

I did struggle with this a lilly but I'm happy with the outcome. 

Good Morning! 

Bit of a busy weekend here, the boy's birthday on Monday and I still haven't made his card! EEEEKKKKK!! Best get a wiggle on! So a quick post from me today. 

The new challenge over at MTTC this fortnight is 

"Teddy Bear's Picnic" 

Use a teddy bear on your creation. This must be an image and not papers. 

 I've used Benji bear from Daisy's Digi's. He can be found HERE. I wanted to make him a lilly different so added the bow tie, which is a die cut and a tiny little button. He's been coloured with Spectrum Noirs. The card sort of has a seaside feel... I think that's the stripey paper. Reminds me of deckchairs! LOL 

Anyways, enough rambling. Would love to see what everyone comes up with! 

Good Morning! 

Scheduled the post for the right date this fortnight. What a dummy! 

So, the challenge over at My Time To Craft this fortnight is.. 

Food and/or Drink

Boy did I struggle with this! Here's what I came up with

Luckily, right at the last minute, I'm talking last night! My mate text and said "I need a card for my mate, she loves beer" I thought "Great! fits in with the challenge, but how do I make beer feminine?!" 

I think I've pulled it off. It's amazing what a bow can do! They both loved it so I'm happy with that. 

Super quick post from me this morning, off to find wedding stuff for my best mate. Invites are all done. Now it's just everything else lol. 

Have a crafty day everyone! 

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! 

Morning! 

Hope everyone is okay :) 

I'm late again this fortnight.... eeeek! So a quick post from me. 

Our new challenge over at My Time To Craft is "Paper Piecing". It's a great technique to use. 

So here's what I've got

 Both the dresses of the girls have been paper pieced.. if that's a word?! I find I always use the same colour card for the background so I'm trying to use different colours. I used kraft for this one. The the girls are coloured using Spectrum Noirs. Added a button, twine and pearls for some detail. 

Told you it was a quick post, hope to see you playing along over on the blog. 

Good Morning! 

I hope it's nice and sunny where you are... you'll need to keep this in mind for the challenge over at My Time To Craft this fortnight. Our new challenge is 

"Christmas in June!" 

I for one, HATE christmas cards!! 

No matter how many you make, you still end up running out!! Sooooooo annoying! 

Anyhows, on to the card I've made for the challenge: 

Naughty or Nice? 

I wanted to use my kraft card for this card and the image fitted perfectly. The image is from Kenny K. She's been coloured using both Spectrum Noirs and Promarkers. I couldn't decide so used both! Sentiment is printed of the pc. Of course I had to get soem twine on there ;) 

I think I'm going to make a head start on my xmas cards... I say this every year and it never happens!

I'll look for some inspiration anyways ;)
