Hi Everyone,

SSDS SKETCH CHALLENGE

Hello Everyone,
This week at Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturdays we have a Sketch Challenge.
I decided to go girlie pink this week - which for me is unusual.... must be the hot weather  LoL
I used one of Forever Friends images as the main piece, and all my other papers came as a Freebie from Crafts Beautiful. I  'colour picked' the backing papers to make some plain block colours in my graphics package and used them for matting, and the lacy border. I made this with my new Martha Stewart punch which came today. This one is called Swirling Lace.
The little flowers I made with my Nellie Snellen punches using some of the backing paper.

Please come and play at SSDS        :-D

CDAC Entries

Hello Folks,
Today I thought I would share some cards I have entered into Challenges over at CDAC.
The first one was a Colour Challenge - Orange and Green - and we were given the lovely little fairy image as a Freebie. She is called Flissy Fairy and is from Ellephantastic. I decided to make her a Hallowe'en fairy with those colours and I also used papers from Susan Godfrey's scrap kit called Autumn Bounty.
I pleated the patterned paper and cut out some pumpkins to decorate. The Fairy has angel fibre wings but it's difficult to show on a photo. I coloured her in my graphics programme.

My second card was for the Other Themed Challenge being hosted on CDAC by Blue Mesa Designs. We were given some lovely Freebie garden images and had to make a card with a Garden theme. I coloured the images in my graphics programme and them used them to frame a photo of the Isle of Wight, where I used to live. I faded the photo down a bit so as not to detract from the images. I made a border with a Martha Stewart punch.

Here's a close-up of the images.

My 3rd card was using a beautiful Daisy image given free by DigiDrawn for the Sketch Challenge. It's such a beautiful digi. I used my graphics programme again to colour it, and used a Martha Steward punch to make a border in green card, which I also used as a matting layer. My sentiment was made in my GP and I used string to attach it. The idea of the Challenge is to keep it simple. I was very pleased with my end result.

There are more Challenges there, so why not pop over to CDAC and grab yourself some FREEBIES and enter a challenge or two. :-D

WHAT MOTHER SAID...

Here we are again Peeps for todays Challenge at Simply Create. This time we are doing Mothers.
I have used Stella from Bugaboo Stamps.
I have used a Fiskars border stamp for the background card and ribbons from my stash. Stella has been printed 3 times and decoupaged to make her 3D and her head is set on a spring so that it waggles from side to side (doesn't show on a pikkie unfortunately.) The sentiment was made in my graphics programme using the colours I used to do Stella.

Challenges I am entering:

AiFactory Challenge - Mother

Crafty Purple Frog - Purple & Lace 

Delightful Challenges - Mother's Day

Hanna & Friends Challenges - No designer paper

Little Miss Muffet Challenges - Die Cuts or Punches

Just a quickie to let you see the new Digis released into my shop today to celebrate my Birthday............ah  21 again....sigh    :-)

FOREVER FRIENDS MONTHLY CHALLENGE - MAY

This month on Forever Friends MC we have a Recipe for you. 3 Papers, 3 Embellishments and 3 Colours.
I have chosen, purple, pink and cream for my 3 colours. My Papers were a Freebie from Crafts Beautiful and they are called Tea Time.
I have used one flat and the other I have made a paper pleated section. My FF bears are decoupaged in 4 layers to make them 3D. The Tea Time set from CB comes with a selection of Tags too, so all is used from there.

OH YES... I GOT IT

Peeps, I am absolutely chuffed to bits today as I just won my MASTER OF THE MACABRE Badge over at Haunted Design House. I also got 4 Gruesome Twosome Awards too. What can I say but THANK YOU to HDH for these honours. I've been striving for that coveted MOTM for ages now and it's come as an early birthday pressie for me :-D :-D

FOREVER FRIENDS SPRINGTIME

Hi Peeps,

I coloured the images in my graphics programme, and this is another photo with a coloured background, as opposed to my normal black :-D

MOTHERS DAY

Hello again,
This week on Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturday our theme is Mother's Day.
For my card I have used a template on my CraftRobo, from the Crystal Dreams CD by Crafty Creativity.

This is a really tricky one to do because of all the fiddly little pieces that have to be removed -  very carefully but I think the result is worth it :-) I lined the pale lemon card with white card, both were 160gm.
In each little daisy I stuck a tiny gold seed bead and used them too for the body of the butterfly. I used several sets of wings on my butterfly in pale lemon and white, and his underneath layer is of slightly darker lemon card. I also added some very fine gold thread for his antennae. I used the darker lemon card for the tag and embellished with a small paper daisy I recently got from in a huge baggie from Taiwan.
I was so pleased with the result of this card I got all 'arty farty' with my picky of it this time and thought it deserved  something sunny instead of my usual black.  :-D
