An award from Sue and two challenge cards!

I have been busy using my Tilda and Edwin stamps recently and have really enjoyed playing with them so I thought I would share these images on my challenge cards for today.
I made this card for the Just Magnolia challenge . I used distress inks around the image and I used this also on the papers. I used Laura Ashley papers and K&co papers. I used promarkers to colour the image. I used a couple of shaped buttons amongst the floral embellishment. I used some little flowers and gems to creat the illusion of a hanging floral display around Tilda.

Just Magnolia challenge


The second card is for the Creative Card crew and it is to create a scene. I used my high hopes forest and my new safari Tilda. I used promarkers, Basic grey papers and some brads.

Colour Create - Coffee and cream

A very Happy Easter to you all!!!

Well thanks to the marvellous theme at colour create this week I managed to get my friends wedding card made hurray! The optional challenge is distressing. I had been mulling over an idea for the card and decided I would go with whatever the them was at colour create as this challenge gives you the option to use a variety of technique and style of card. So the theme is vintage for Anita's wedding card. I used a vintage image that I sprayed with a shine spray and then heat gunned. I then sprayed it again this caused a kind of distressed feel. I then chose some papers to match and created two hearts one I cuttlebugged with my congratulations folder and one I used some card I stencilled sprayed with glimmer mists. I cut out some frames with my nesties and distressed all the edges of everything on the card. I computer generated the sentiment. I made my bouquet and I also added some roses to the top corner. I also have decorated the inside that is my sneaky peek. I am hoping she likes it she has an Textiles Art degree so lots to live up to.

High hopes challenge - sketch

I have made this for the high hopes challenge which is this gorgeous sketch. I used the well stamp. I do not have many high hopes stamps those that I have are the background ones. I used some paper piercing around the edge of the cirlces and the corners of the card. The image is coloured with copic ciaos. Had a fairly dull day today as I had to wait for the man to come about the boiler. I cleaned and washed most of the day. I have not got much crafting done at all. Off to check the jacket potatos and eat mine he he !!!

Whiff of joy - sketch

Hello everyone, I have had a sick child free day today. Yes, all back to school and baby slept for 2 hours this morning. I managed to make a little card for the whiff of joy challenge ,which is a sketch. I flipped the sketch and added a flower in the top corner to balance it out, so I hope it is still okay. I used my new high hopes forest stamp with the whiff of joy spring kit stamp. I stamped my little girl and masked her ,then stamped the forest. Coloured in with copics but next time may use watercolour. I used some Laura Ashely paper and some cuttlebugged distressed card as the background. I used a brown ribbon again just to balance out. I added faux stitching (totally addicted) I haven't added a sentiment as not sure what it will be used for.

Papertake weekly - sketch

Hello again third post today! I am doing well. I have made this card for the sketch at papertake weekly , I used my copics and my promarkers to colour in my gorjuss girls. I used Laura ashley papers conemara. I loved the idea of putting the girls together so I tried that as my personal challenge today.
