Show Us Your Metal

Which is the theme for Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge that is to use metal on a card be it pins, brads, charms etc so I have used silver brads in the centre of the flowers:

The image, called Daisy, is a Suger Nellie stamp and is coloured with Promarkers.  

Papers used are Me To You Spring Chic and sentiment is an Anita's stamp.

The pink card and brads are from stash.  I have punched the flowers out of the blue backing paper and the pink card.   

Play Time!

Hello and big warm hugs to my new followers!  It is wonderful to see you and looking forward to visiting you all very soon!

Lili's Little Fairies Challenge this weeks is Time To Play:

Papers used are : Daisy & Dandelion Picnic Patch and Daisy & Dandelion Hawthorn & Bramble.

Image has been coloured with Promarkers.  Pink card is from stash and I punched flowers out of the same colour card.  Sentiment is computer generated.  I also used glossy accents on the mirror.  Gems are also from stash. 



Christmas Teddy

Good morning one and all, hope your week has got off to a good start!  We have actually got sun today, don't expect it to last though!

I did this card yesterday but didn't round to posting it.  This is for the Winter Wonderland Challenge and the theme this week is Christmas Teddy:

The stamp is from Forever Friends Cosy Christmas set and coloured with Promarkers.  As it is quite a large image I decided to keep it simple as I think papers would have drowned it.  I paper pieced the parcel with some Christmas backing papers but I do not know what make, it was just a spare bit floating around!

The red card and peel-offs are from stash.

Less Is More - Week 73

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all having a good weekend and are managing to keep dry!  I thought this morning I was going to have to get Den to build an Ark the rain was so heavy but thankfully the rain stopped, the sun came out and Den put his hammer and nails away!  

The Less Is More Challenge this week is paper piecing.  This is something that I have not done a great deal of but must say I enjoyed making this card:

The leaves and grass were coloured with Promarkers.  The paper for the flowers and green card are from stash.

 

Anything Goes!

Stamping With The Dragon challenge is Anything Goes and for this I have used a Crafters Companion Strawberry Kisses Stamp:

I have coloured the image with Promarkers.

The papers are from Daisy & Dandelion Picnic Patch and Forever Friends All Loved Up.

The pink card, gems and flowers are all from stash.

Sorry for the quick post, got a poorly mum downstairs so don't want to leave her too long!

The image is Fizzy Moon Celebrations and coloured in Promarkers. 

Papers are : Boofle Designstax and Me To You Spring Chic.

Central boarder is done with a Martha Stewart punch and gems and green card are from stash.

Something Shiny

Good morning everyone, hope you are all enjoying your weekend.  Den has had to go into work this morning so until he arrives home and we go off shopping I did a card for this week's Less Is More Challenge which is Something Shiny:

The stamps are from a set that came free with a craft magazine and I have had them ages.  I'm afraid I do not know what make they are.  I have coloured them with Promarkers.  The butterfly has also been coloured with Sakura stardust pens and also highlighted some of the flowers with the stardust pens.  For the centre of the flowers I have used gems. 



Candy Canes

What a weird weather day we have had!  Rained all night, sunny this morning but very windy, then later this afternoon it became really dark and the heavens opened coupled with a thunderstorm, felt like the end of the world at one point!  So myself and Roly stayed snug and warm in our play room and made a card for the Winter Wonderland Challenge which this week is Candy Canes:

The image is a House Mouse design : Christmas Fireplace and has been coloured with Promarkers.  I also stamped and coloured two more of the candy canes for an embellishment. 

The red card is from stash.

Happy Father's Day

Yes, I know, I've used pink paper for a male card, but my view is he is putting up pink wallpaper for his lady so he is obviously in touch with his 'femine' side!

The image is from Lili of the Valley and coloured with Promarkers.

Papers are Me To You Spring Chic.  The Sentiment is computer generated and the green card and gems are from stash.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Crafty Sentiments Design - Father's Day
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Happy Father's Day

Water, Water Everywhere!

Luckily in the past couple of days in my part of the world we have not had a great deal but I know a lot of you have had loads of rain and suffered terrible floods, and if you are one of those, my love and best wishes go to you.

The Stamping With The Dragon Challenge is very appropriate with a theme of water:

The image is coloured with Promarkers and I have used glitter gel pens for the puddle and rain drops.  The navy card is from stash and sentiment is computer generated.

Papers are : Daisy & Dandelion Lovingly Yours and a freebie pack from a craft mag.



Lavender and Lace

Good evening everyone, hope your Monday has gone well.  I've had a busy day today, cleaning the house after last week.  When Den is off on holiday I never get the chance to do the housework and it always looks like a bomb has dropped by the time he goes back to work plus the fact he gets under my feet and nothing can get done anyway!

Managed to have a play this afternoon and this is my card for the Joanna Sheen Challenge : Lavender and Lace :

The image and papers are a digital stamp from Joanna Sheen's Pamela West Collection (volume 2).  The image has been coloured with Promarkers.  The sentiment is computer generated.  The purple card, lace and flowers are all from stash.

Less Is More

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all enjoying your weekend. 

Den has gone out for the afternoon so decided to have a go at the Less Is More Challenge which is to do a one layer card using a flourish:

I coloured the image with Promarkers and highlighted certain areas with Stickles. 

Winter Wonderland Challenge

The Winter Wonderland Challenge is to take inspiration from a photo which inspired me with the colours and the candle:

The image is coloured with Promarkers and I used a white gel pen to give the impression of wax melting down the candle. 

 

Papers : Pepper's Christmas Party and Forever Friends Cosy Christmas.

 

I also die cut the ovals and the sentiment is computer generated.

 

Water Water Everywhere!

Which is certainly true in my part of the country, it hasn't stopped raining for two days!  So Cute Card Thursday Challenge could not have picked a better theme!

The image has been coloured with Promarkers and everything else is bits of stash just hanging around, unfortunately I have no idea what make the papers are, they were just single sheets I found!

Anything Goes

Good evening one and all, hope you are all enjoying this glorious wet and miserable weather!  It has not stopped pouring down all day here, even Roly had to be dragged out this morning for a walk, he does not like rain and hates it when his little paws are wet, he gets all miserable!  So not done much at all today except play so made this card for the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge :

Sorry for the bad photo, the light here is terrible today.

The image is a Wee Stamp which I got free with a craft mag today and just had to use this lovely little fairy, I adore her!  I have coloured her with Promakers.  You can't see from the photo, but I have glittered her wings, bits of her hair and her shoes.  The sentiment also came with the freebie.  The blue card is from stash.

A Few Of My Favourite Things

Don't worry everyone, I'm not going to burst into song but when I saw the Penny Black & More Challenge : All My Favourite Things this song just sprung to mind and I haven't been able to get it out since!  Certainly takes me back, I remember going to see the Sound Of Music at the cinema when I was a wee girl, goodness, that was many years ago!  Suddenly feel very old....

My favourite things are : Penny Black Stamps, Promarkers and yummy papers!

The stamp is Penny Black Team Effort and papers are Dovecraft Back To Basics.  The pink card and gems are from stash.

Winter Wonderland

And these past few days it has certainly felt cold enough to be winter!  What is happening with our crazy weather?!

Never mind, it gives us lots of time to play and the Winter Wonderland Challenge is Holly:

The image is from the Papermania Enchanted set and was a nightmare to colour!  The image is quite small so I used a 5 x 5 card whereas I would normally use 6 x 6.  You can't see it in the photo but I have glittered her holly wings and dress.

The paper is Forever Friends Cosy Christmas and everything else is from stash.

Right, I'm off for a nice hot cuppa, want to join me?!

One For The Boys

Which is Ready-Teddy-Go Challenge :

The Teddy Bo image, which was a freebie in a craft mag, has been coloured with Promarkers. 

Papers are Daisy & Dandelion Picnic Patch and Papermania Capsule Blueberry Pie.

Sentiment is computer generated and brown card and gems are from stash.

Happy Jubilee Day!

Though its not a very nice day for all the celebrations that are taking part.  In my corner of the world it is wet, dull, cold and miserable and it looks the same down London.  Hope the Queen has got a pair of flippers!  If you are having celebrations today, I hope the weather doesn't spoil your fun and have a lovely time!

The Simon Says Stamp Challenge is Anything Goes:

Sorry about the quality of the photo, the light is terrible here today.
