Time for another challenge from Whoopsi Daisy and this week we would like to see you use 'Brown & Pink' as your main colours. Do remember that you HAVE to use a WD image to enter the challenge and you can get a freebie here each week.

As you can see I have made a similar card to last week's one. (Comes of having ripped my craft room apart and only being able to get to a little of my stash). This time I have used a different elegant lady who I have coloured with promarkers. I have edged the dress and the sash with a gold sakura stardust pen for a bit of glamour but it doesn't show very well in the photo. I have then distressed around the image with chalk and an old eyeshadow adding pearls to the corners. I prefer the softer look of pearls rather than diamonds. On reflection I think I should have omitted the pearls as they look a bit heavy.

I have edged the gorgeous digi paper with gold peel-offs and added corners. A crescent of roses finishes the card. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

This week at Lili's Little Fairies we have the theme 'Oh Boy!' to challenge you with and I know it will be quite a challenge for some of you.

I have made a get well card for a work colleague this week. I only had a short time in which to make it which is why it is 'clean and simple'. The image is coloured with promarkers and sakura stardust pens. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Following the great sketch I made some panels using these gorgeous digi papers from Nitwit Collections and attached them to my base card. Before attaching I added some ribbon to the smaller panel and tied a simple knot. Onto a die-cut rectangle of pink card I added my cut out image which I coloured with promarkers. I highlighted her shoes and bag with diamond glaze. The sentiment is simply stamped and layered. To finish I added some card candi. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Today we have another great challenge for you at Whoopsi Daisy because we want to see you 'Bling It'. Don't forget though that you MUST use a Whoopsi Daisy image which isn't difficult as Linnie gives you a fabulous freebie each week.

This week I have made a fold-back card using this very elegant lady. I have coloured her with promarkers and distressed with chalk. I have given her a diamond necklace and earrings using tiny gems and used the leftovers from the peel-off corners to add interest. The gorgeous digi paper is a freebie from Jak Heath and you can find it here. It compliments the card so well. I have added holographic peel-off borders and corners around the paper. The leaves with the flowers were originally green but I coloured them with the same pen I used for the dress. To finish the card I added some stickles to some of the flowers for a vintage look. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

We have a new challenge at Lili's Little Fairies and this week is one of my favourite themes 'Lavender & Lace'.

I have used a stamp that I have not used since it came out, shame on me as I love it. I have coloured her with promarkers adding glitter to her wings and surrounded her with little gem stars. I then found some long forgotted silver edged lace and put this around the image. The lacy borders were cut with a punch and I added some more forgotten lace. A little stamped sentiment and a few star brads finishes the card nicely. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

This week on the Whoopsi Daisy challenge we want to see 'Anything But Square' creations. Don't forget you MUST use a Whoopsi Daisy image and Linnie kindly provides you with a free one here that you can use.

As you can see I have made a step wedding card in white and silver mirri card. I have coloured the image with promarkers and added a touch of glitter. The white panel behind the image has been embossed with hearts and I have tucked a couple of punched hearts behind the image. I have added some recycled ribbon to the bottom panel and tied a bow. To finish the card I punched and embossed some silver flowers and placed some roses in the middle. I must have had these for about four years now so thought it was about time I used them. Finally I added some stickles to the roses for a bit more sparkle. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Over at Lili's Little Fairies challenge today we want you to use your 'Favourite LOTV Stamp' on your creations. I expect you are like me and have several favourites which makes it quite difficult to pick just one. I decided to use my most recent favourite 'Lovely Lillies' which I coloured with promarkers. The background has been embossed with a swiss dots folder and I heat embossed it using holographic EP for a bit of sparkle. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

It's Monday so time for another challenge at Whoopsi Daisy. This week we would like to see you use the colours PINK & GREEN on your creations. Do remember however, that you now have to use a Whoopsi Daisy image to enter. So many people are not reading the guidelines and are still entering with other images. It is so sad that we have to discount these gorgeous entries but we do have to be fair to those that follow the rules. Linnie very kindly gives you a free image to use for the challenge each week and you can get it here.

So, onto my card. Today I have used this gorgeous little toddler and coloured her with promarkers and chalk. The digi papers I have used are the latest collection (Val' n Tine)to be released by Nitwit Collections and are absolutely gorgeous. I added some punched daisies and put card candi in the centres and added some more card candi to finish it off. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Great News!!!

After being on the DT for the Lili Of The Valley challenge blog for so long I was very saddened to receive the news that they were closing the challenge blog. Great news though! Jacqui has come to the rescue for all the LOTV stamp fans and is starting a new Lili Of The Valley only challenge blog starting on THURSDAY 5TH JANUARY. As you can see we have a new name and badges but the blog address and challenge rules will remain the same and the challenges will still be posted weekly. We have a great new DT so make sure you check out their blogs to see how talented they are.

To launch the new challenge blog we have loads of Blog Candy up for grabs so why not pop on over to the blog here and take part. We look forward to seeing you all for our first challenge in the New Year!

As soon as I saw these gorgeous papers that the lovely Jak Heath is offering as a freebie I just HAD to make a card with them. You can get the papers here. I have followed the sketch and kept the card quite simple so that the papers weren't overshadowed. The image has been coloured with promarkers and cut and layered using nesties. Some sparkly ribbon and card candi finishes it off. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

A little Tilda thank you card this time. Again in red with cream but this time teamed with gold. What a difference one colour makes! The image has been coloured with promarkers as usual. The sentiment has been heat embossed in gold and I have added a peel-off to the strip. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Today I fancied a change from making a 'cute' card so this is what I came up with. Not sure if I should have left the ribbons off though. Having done lots of layered panels I stamped some foliage onto the top one. I then stamped the flowers onto some patterned paper and cut them out. I added them to the foliage using foam pads before adding some buttons. A bit of ribbon and some peel-off corners finishes the card. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Here is another baby card that I have made using quite neutral colours so that it could be for a boy or a girl this time. I have covered my base card with silver mirri card topped with this gorgeous digi paper from Nitwit Collections. I coloured the image with promarkers and cut and layered it with nesties adding a silver/white panel underneath. The sentiment has simply been stamped and layered. A silver stork finishes the card off. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Happy New Year everyone and welcome back to the Whoopsi Daisy challenge. After all the stress of the last few weeks we have an uncomplicated challenge to ease you all back to crafting gently. The theme is 'Free & Easy' so anything will do so long as it has a Whoopsi Daisy image on it. If you don't have any Whoopsi Daisy images to play with you can pick up a Freebie here!

As you can see I have not made a card this time. I have made an easel desk calendar for the new year instead. I have coloured my image with promarkers and a Sakura Stardust pen. This gorgeous digi paper is from the 'Heavenly' Collection at Nitwit Collections. I stamped a little snowflake border on the post-It Notes before attaching to the base. The snowflakes are die-cut with pearl centres. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.
