charisma cardz challenge.....decoupage

Hi there, I'm back again this time with a card for Chrisma Cardz the girls over there want to see some decoupage on your projects this week. To be totally honest with you it's not really my thing I'm too impatient for all the cutting out. I decided to use my penny black stamp uplifting occasion, which i don't use often enough. i decoupaged the bra,

a closer shot so you can see the decoupage.

The cat was coloured with prisma's and the ribbon trim and flowers are from my stash, the papers are a free download of the net somewhere and the sentiment was a freebie from a mag.

thanks for looking shell x

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.

Saturday sketch

Hello dont know how i managed to get this done because i've got myself a wii fit game and board and i cant get off it, its the best thing(non crafty) i have bought myself in years it's fantastic even if i'm aching all over. Anyway back to the card the image i think is penny black sent to me by a friend, papers are from my stash and the image was coloured with pro markers , i'm not too sure about it dont know why there just seems to be something missing

2 Challenges in 1:Sketch Saturday & Penny Black

This is my entry for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge. This week the challenge is to use embossing on your project. I've used the Uplifting Occasion stamp for the image and the Happy Birthday cuttle bug folder for the embossing the flower is from my stash, the little piece of pattered paper is basic grey which i got from heather from rica's haven. I was really lucky and won her blog candy, i can not get over the genousosity of crafters thank you so much heather, amongts all the goodies i got was a wiff of joy stamp, lizzie with a muff, and it is beautiful.
