Challenges

Card Crafters Circle (10) - Die Cuts


Today's challenge at Lili's Little Fairies is a nice easy one for you. The theme is 'Anything Goes' and we can't wait to see all your beautiful creations.

I have used the stamp 'In The Garden' for my card and I have coloured it with promarkers. At the bottom I have punched a border and added paper and satin ribbon. I then die-cut a fancy tag and stamped a simple sentiment onto it adding a couple of gems before placing it onto the border. The flowers and leaves are all punched and I have added more gems to the centres of the flowers. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Before I get onto my card I would like to apologise fornot posting my card until now. I am having BIG problems with my internet connections and can only stay connected for a couple of minutes at a time, very frustrating as you can imagine. Please bear with me if I don't manage to get around to your blogs and leave you comments.

This week at Whoopsi Daisy we have a great sketch for you to follow. For my card this week I have used one of the great boy images from the JS CD 'Daisy & Friends' by Linnie which you can get here. I have coloured him with promarkers and distressed with chalks. The digi papers I have used are from my scrapbox. I have so many scraps I am trying hard to use them rather than cut into new all the time. The border has been punched and layered with a ribbbon to finish it. I have used copper eyelets in the corners and finished it with various buttons.

I have coloured the cute image with promarkers and paper pieced his outfit. I have punched the borders with hearts and added some satin ribbon. The two hearts have also been punched. A couple of flowers and a few pearls finish the card nicely. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Lili's Little Fairies Challenge DT (5) - Spring Colours

Challenges

Pollycraft (125) - Favourite Things (Stamp/Papers/Daisies)
ABC - I is for In Pairs (Flowers/Gems)
Divas By Design (20) - Anything Goes
Delightful Challenge - Punches & Dies

It's Thursday again which means it's time for another challenge over at Lili's Little Fairies. This week we would like to see you use 'Spring Colours' on your creations.

I have used one of my favourite LOTV stamps for today's card, 'Daisy Chain'. I have coloured it with promarkers and chalk as usual. Following last week's Divas By Design sketch (I missed the actual challenge, duh!), I used some of my favourite digi papers from Nitwit Collections to cover my card. Once I had done this I added the image and circular sentiment that I layered using nesties. I layered some silk and paper daisies and added gems to the centres before placing over the corner of the image. I then punched some butterflies, stippled them with ink and added these to the corners and flowers. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Another Christmas card today, this time with a vintage feel. I have used the lovely sketch provided but turned it and added a corner. I have coloured the image with promarkers and distressed it with ink and chalk. I have also distressed the check paper in a similar fashion before adding some organza ribbon and slider to it. To finish the card I added some paper flowers with card candi centres and some punched gold leaves. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

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.

Whoopsi Daisy Challenge DT - Bling It

Challenges

Creative Card Crew (2) - Red
Delightful Challenge - Distressed/Vintage

Stamp With Fun (144) - Cute Vintage

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.
