My final Guest DT for Daring cardmakers :(

Hello I will be on my way to Butlins right now so I have scheduled this post. I hope you all had a good week. This is my final Guest DT for Daring Cardmakers . I have really enjoyed my stay. Of course I will continue to enter the challenges each week as they are so unique. I am so glad I got to participate in this one though. This week the dare is set by Sue and it is to make a childrens card. A special childrens card to be sent to a child through Post Pals . If you have not heard of post pals please pop over to there site it is a very worthy cause.
I made this scene card using my crafters companion, cute companion summer stories outside set of stamps. I have used no less than ten stamps on this card. I did not mask ,cor can you imagine that. I stamped and cut out. I coloured with a mixture of copic pens, promarkers and watercolour pencils.
I made the windbreaker from cocktail sticks some linen and then stamped the image on randomly and coloured with fabric pens. I added pearls and dewdrops to the shells to give more texture. These cards are often used to distract children whilst they have treatments or medication so I thought that it would be great to have a lot going on to distract them. Texture is lovely on a card especially if you are tactile which children often are.

Creative Card Crew and Sketch Saturday

Hi I have combined the sketch at sketch saturday with the theme at Creative card crew for this card. The theme at Creative card crew is whatever the weather. I used my cute companion stamp it was an exclusive with a CD rom. I used paperpiecing and promarkers for the image. I kept this incredibly simple.
I am a very happy bunny tonight I have a friend moving to do missionary work in South Africa and she asked me if I wanted to raid her craft stash before she left. Well I have a huge bag of embellishments, ribbons and bits. I have a fiskars punch and copious amounts of cardstock. I am so grateful to her and God bless her and her husband in the work they are to do. They will be looking after very sick children,becoming surrogate mum and dad.

Papertake Weekly - spots and stripes

The theme at Papertake weekly is spots and stripes this week. I used my cuttlebug swiss dots folder to make the spots element and some stripey K&co paper. I used some of my new cute companion images to create a little picture. I added a ribbon and a button. I used my white gel pen to do lots of highlighting. Is anyone watching "The biggest loser" My partners friend is on it "Kevin".

Cute Card Thursday - Mirror Mirror

I have made this card for the challenge at Cute Card Thursday and the challenge is to use something shiney. I used some mirriboard for the pond. I used my new cute companion stamps and some rub ons for the sentiment.
I am all talked out today as I have spent four days on the phone trying to get my Sky back. Finally came back today after engineer finally appeared!!!

Truely Scrumptious - Good enough to eat!

Hello it's Thursday already where has the week gone!!!! I made this card using the sketch from Truly Scrumptious. The additional challenge is to use something to eat. I used the cakes!!! I used some paper that was free in a mag and the ribbon is woodware. I coloured in my mice and made the scene using my new CD rom from cute companions which is called The Summer collection.

Cute card Thursday - Wine and dine

Hi again, apologies for not waiting for glue to dry but I am so keen. I have made this card for my youngest daughters birthday.The challenge at Cute card Thursday is to use some food or drink on your card. I stamped this cute companions mouse stamp and I added a cupcake from the stamp set that comes with the stamps. I also added some cupcakes as embellishments and some hearts. The papers are HOTP. I think she will love it as she loves animals and princesses at the moment. I have got her some sylvannian family rabbits as she loves these and putting them in her pocket. She will probrably want the mice when she sees the card. She is sitting next to me while I am posting this so I hope she moves before I upload the photo. I think this is the first birthday she has really got excited about. I made her some labels with the new whiff of joy spring kit stamps. I stamped the image in pink versamark and left them blank for her to colour in. I know she will love these as she is always colouring in my badly stamped images.
