Papertake weekly

OMG miracles do happen 3 posts in one day. I was just going to get ready for darts ( i play once a week) anyway tonight is the pairs and my friend and me have been drawn against 2 county players so we'll prob get knocked out tonight I'll let you know how we get on. i had a quick look online and seen the papertake weekly sketch so thought I'd do a quick card before i go. i really like this and no patterned paper in sight.

thanks for looking and wish me look for the game.

sketch saturday

I'm back again this time with a challenge card for Sketch Saturday. i Followed the sketch and wanted to try some new things so i coloured the whiff of joy image in with chalks(never used these before) then i added clear embossing ink and clear powder a couple of times and then put it in the freezer for half an hour then when it was frozen i cracked it and i think it looks a little like glass. the other new thing i did was i made the swirly background paper myself using my cuttlebug and divine swirls folder i will deffo be doing that again.

dont think i'll be back again today but you never know stranger things have happened.

Truly Scrumptious challenge

It's a sketch to follow and i love this one will be using it again for sure. as well as flowers on your card they had to be altered so i cut them on my cricut then ran the through the cuttlebug with the swiss dots folder turned them over and use a pro marker to coloured the debossed dots. I'm loving this colour combo. Oh and inked my new anya stamp for the first time.

Papertake weekly Dawny's sketch

I needed to make a card for my Mum's birthday on Friday so I thought I'd use this fabby sketch by Dawny and enter it for the papertake weekly challenge. Bit different for me this one. I used a few cuttlebug folders and an ink pad embossed the card and than rubbed an ink pad over the top of the embossing. for the piece where the dots are white i rubbed the ink pad over the folder before putting the card in. The image is elzybells and was coloured with pro makers and sentiment was done on the computer.

penny black and sketch saturday

The challenge this week over on the penny black challenge blog is THINK SPRING. Well when i think of spring i get yellow in my mind. I had to make a thank you card for someone so when i seen this and the fabby sketch over on sketch Saturday i thought I'd combine the 2 challenges into one. I used the message from above stamp and lots of yellow.the sketch had lots of circle on it so i used a cuttlebug embossing folder and added flowers so i hope it still counts.

i hope everyone is OK and enjoying the weekend.

penny black challenge

I hope everyone out there is ok, I've had a lazy weekend and done nothing really, apart from this morning i went to cheshire oaks to the paper mill shop, because i realised i only had 4 pieces of white card left and how long would that last me, so my hubby took me and my son and when we got there matty my eldest gave me the money to buy some new stamps, i got the Claire curd stampin chic party set and the sentiments set, thanks mat.

it's a sketch this week which i love doing. i used the cat in the tulips stamp,the scalloped edged papers looks like the treading water border punch but it's not i used a pair of fancy scissors and my cropadile, i think it works well. the papers and ribbon are from my stash the flowers were again cut on my cricut then embossed on the cuttlebug.

2 Challenges in 1:Sketch Saturday & Penny Black

Morning all, well i think i'm getting clever I've done one card for 2 challenges over at the penny black Saturday challenge the theme is pink & brown and i followed the super sketch on sketch Saturday. I made the card using Fur Ball Fun penny black stamp, mounted it onto pink and brown card stock, used a cuttlebug folder and basic grey papers . hope you like it thanks for looking shell x

papertake weekly challenge

the challenge over at papertake weekly this week is to use spots or dots on your project. I've chosen to use lily the fairy from pink cat studio, she is sat on circles cut with my nesties, and was coloured with pro marker, the papers are making memories boho chic a pad i found when i tidy ed my craft room yesterday. I really was ruthless if i haven't used something for 6 months or more then it went either in the bin or a pile of stuff for a friend of mine who is just stating out in the card making world( god help her ).Any way back to the card spotty ribbon added for the spots and cardstock embossed with cuttlebug. hope you are all having a good day. bye for now shell xx
