TGF ~ Jade

Well tonight I sat here and put together a card for the challenge over at Anya Ink which this time is for Black & White + 1 colour and for this I opted for green.  I have used the image of Jade from the 1st Roll Call set and after seeing an image that Ria had coloured of Jade using b&w and adding a pink stripe to her hair which worked so well I decided to try something similar and once I had chosen my papers (coredinations cs and DCWV glitter stack I decided I needed more than just the hair stripe in green and this card is my end result.  There is also a TGF sentiment stamped up in the top right corner but it doesnt show up too well in the pic and it says 'say what?'

I am also entering this into:

Sketch and Stash challenge #41 ~ the stamps are my newest item.

2 Sisters Challenge #4 ~ Stitching real or faux

Anya Ink #5 Christmas in July & Sketch and stash #40

I havent taken part in the challenges over at Anya Ink for a while now so thought it was about time and I combined it with the challenge this week over at Sketch and Stash.

Anya Ink # 5 ~ Christmas in July so I used my winter Anya, coloured with copics and then I used some Craft Planet glitter glue in irridescent sparkle and her boots are sakura glaze.

Sketch and Stash # 40 ~ this is all made using old stash, last years christmas papers which are MME, the cord is a freebie from the docrafts magazine from last christmas and the little metal snowflake I have had for absolutely ages.

Sketch & Stash Challenge #38 & Spoon Full Of Sugar #109

Here is the card I was working on last night but just got too tired to finish it so have now finished it, I'm lovin' my new stamps!

Sketch and Stash #38 ~ great sketch I used a digi paper which I think is a Rasberry Road Design but it was in my scraps drawer so not sure, coredinations cs, some ribbon from the cheapy shop, the little tags are cut using my sizzix doodle tag alpha, which I seem to forget I have, the little flowers are punched from a scrap of paper from the drawer and the gems are from my stash, my new item is the delightful TGF Nahla from the Roll Call collection who is coloured with copics and a little sakura stardust.

Spoon Full Of Sugar #109 ~ Good Luck/Best wishes I used a little best wishes peeloff which fitted nicely on the tag.

Well thats all my crafting for tonight as Ria has gone to a camp out so I am going to the beach with Adrian while he does some fishing and I'm going to take the camera and hopefully get some good shots of the sun going down and even more hopefully some fish for lunch tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend. xx

Sketch & Stash Challenge #37 & Pollycraft Monday #48

Another card tonight and its for another 2 challenges!

Pollycraft Monday Challenge #48 ~ lets have a sing song - We'd like to see a project inspired by a song... so use a song title/lyrics as your sentiment... or create your card with a song in mind... Well my card is inspired by the song 'We are Family' by Sister Sledge and the freebie image from PollyCraft Designs suited it perfectly, coloured with copics and I had another try at feathering on her skirt.

Sketch and Stash #37 ~ well my card is based on the sketch and I have used MME papers from the Wild Asparagus collection and my new stash is the flowers which are from my party bag and the old stash is the pale lilac lace.

TFL and now I'm off to bed, night all. xx

Dotties World - Easel Card & Sketch and Stash #36

Well I'm home alone tonight and enjoying every minute of the peace and quiet with no interruptions so I settled down to some crafting hoping I'd get several cards made and catch up on some challenges but I have only managed to make one card but it is for 2 challenges! What started out as a fairly simple straight forward card took me ages to decide on the papers and then I decided to stick all the little punched out flowers on to the card too and boy did that take me a while! Anyway here is the finished card and its my first easel card too! TFL

Dotties World - Easel Card with a charmed download of course! I have use the thistle pixie which is pre-coloured so I added some sakura stardust for a touch of bling to her dress and headdress too. Over at Dotties World there is also a link to a great easel card tutorial although I think most people now know how to make them I'm a bit behind!

Sketch and Stash # 36 - used the sketch for the top part of the card and the stash is all neglected, the papers are from the Artylicious Fantasy Floral cd which I have had for a couple of years now and hardly ever use (keep forgetting I've got it!) cs is some I have had for ages and flowers and brad are all from my stash.

Oh well hopefully back tomorrow with more, especially as I'm now on holiday for a week - yipeeee! lol

Also just found out it fits nicely with another challenge too,

Crafty Sentiments which is to punch it! Lots of little punched flowers there and also the border punch too.

3 challenges in 1card

Well another card tonight thats not bad going for me! This one is for 3 challenges and the base of the card is all done digitally its just the image which I have printed seperate and coloured with copics and stardust pens.

Sketch and Stash #35 the new stash is the digi kit called Princess of Pop and is by Scraps By Stacey. I even managed to give the sentiment a bit of texture and looks like its printed on fabric (can you tell I'm having fun playing! lol)

Spoon Full Of Sugar #104 - Cute & Girly, think this meets the requirements. The image is a Pollycraft Designs Friday Freebie from a while back.

Pollycraft Monday Challenge #44 - Summer Blooms, well I hope the flowers from the kit meet the challenge with their hot pink colouring.

TFL I had great fun (and some frustration!) putting this together, and now I am off to bed! night night x

Sketch & Stash # 34 & Spoon Full of Sugar # 102 Furry Friends

I have made this card to fit with the challenges at Sketch and Stash where most of the stash is new, papers are Me & My Big Ideas, flowers are prima e line (new) and card candy (new), image is a Cuddly Buddly but dont know which as it was an image that was sent to me, coloured with copics and sakura stardust, sentiment is a cuttlebug die. the other challenge is Spoon Full Of Sugar which is Furry Friends and I think this image fits the bill there. Really enjoyed this one and a great sketch. TFL

PollyCraft Monday Challenge # 39 & Sketch and Stash # 33

for this card I combined 2 challenges Pollycraft Monday challenge which was to use Pink & Brown plus either yellow or green - I chose green and the Sketch and Stash challenge and I have used my new MME Wild Asparagus papers, new freebie image from Pollycraft Designs - Fearn and new card candy. The image is coloured with copics and some sakura stardust, used my new nestie to cut and emboss the inner circle and the ribbon is from my stash also used a scrap of the paper to build a brad oh and nearly forgot the prima flowers! TFL

4 challenges in 1 card

Well this card has taken me a long time today but I have had fun putting it together. Dotties World challenge this week was Step Into Spring so I went for Holly in the garden from the Holly & Madison Collection available at Charmed Cards and Crafts and I have actually digitally paper pieced her with papers from a kit called Summer Lovin' because it uses the colours pink & green which along with flowers is the challenge over at Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge. Although it wasnt difficult to digi paper piece I did find it time consuming getting all my layers round the right way! I based the layout of my card on the sketch from Sketch and Stash #31 and my new stash is the digi kit which I bought recently with my winnings from Scrap That Idea, this kit is by Stacey of Stacey's Scraps and I love all the different elements that go with it and the addon of plain card that actually looks like bazzil! the only other addition I used to Stacey's kit is the flourishes top left and bottom right which are actually brushes that were part of a freebie set from Cottage Arts. The 4th challenge I am going for is the one over at Cute Card Thursday which is Dimensions (or lots of layers) well I have gone for the lots of layers as this card has 13 layers not including the image which is made up of 7 layers on its own!

Sketch & Stash Challenge #30 & MTTC - Kidz Kardz

Combined 2 challenges tonight as running out of time! but its great to be crafting again and should hopefully have the bulk of the craft room sorted by tomorrow night! Anyway I followed the sketch from Sketch & Stash and my new stash is the Build a brad kit that I used with the football stamp and the image is new to me and was sent to me by a friend, I believe it is a Cuddly Buddly but not sure which one, coloured with copics, the papers are all from my scrap drawers. And the challenge at My Time To Craft is Kidz Kardz. TFL

4 challenges in 1 card

Well as the week ahead of me looks to being pretty busy I thought I'd combine some challenges so I have used the sketch from Sketch and Stash, the colour combo of Green +1 (yellow) from My Time To Craft, gingham paper for the Papertake Weekly challenge and spring time theme from Spoon Full of Sugar. The image is part of a set of 4 called Art Flowers by rubbadubbadoo and they have a magnetic backing. I bought them a long time ago but havent actually used them for quite a while so it was nice to give them an airing! the ribbon, flower and brad are all from my stash and the gingham papers were some I downloaded from somewhere a long time ago and that I have never used! The cs is also embossed with a check pattern. I havent put a sentiment on yet but I'm not totally sure what I will use it for so when I do decide I will add a sentiment. TFL

A 3 in 1 project

This time I have made a little book of sketches and it is going to be for my MIL for mothers days I will also put together a little wallet of stamped images too. I have used the sketch from Sketch and Stash (#28) and my new stash is of course my BIA! the papers and s/a ribbon are all neglected stash and the the other ribbon is from my stash. the pink lace paper has been coloured usng my copics to match the top of the image which is by Pollycraft Designs and is called Felicity Swing - very cute image. I am also putting this forward for the Copic Colour Challenge which this week is the colours R29, RV23 & B12 well I had R29 but then had to go with RV34 & B23 (really must get some more copics!lol) and last but by no means least I am using this for the challenge over at Stamp Something which this week is Something cute well I think the image is cute and also its a cute little book of sketches! TFL, not sure I'll get to be about much this week as got an extra shift at work so have got 2 lates then 2 days of training before I get a day off and its half term so poor Ria is spending most of it at her grans.
