Cuttle bug Challenge "Becky's Sketch"


For this card I went on a fishing theme and used one of my Tanda stamps along with embossed circles.

Not A Good Crafting Day!

Well here we are again with this weeks challenges, I have had a go at most of them.
I seem to have been unable to get my act together today and am not very happy with what I have created so I have given up!
Maybe tomorrow I will find the Midas touch!
Meanwhile here are todays offerings,
(only fair to share good and bad)

House Mouse & Friends Colour Challenge.


This weeks challenge was to follow a colour combination (coral. rich olive & navy).

I have coloured the backing card using adirondak inks, the blue just swept across directly from the pad and the green sponged on. I then rubber stamped my image and coloured in using copic markers.

High Hopes Challenge "Card for a Dude"


I decided that my little fellow was probably better minus his wings, Simply done with a textured backing card and then contrasting papers cut into shapes with my sizzix and embossed. The finishing touches a peel off greeting coloured with permanent pens and some scraps from peel offs again coloured.

Pollycraft Challenge "Flowers & Ribbons"


I decided to do something a lit bit different today and rather than using a backing paper I have used very large fabric flowers along with loops of ribbon directly onto a card blank. I then used my little elf girl cut out and mounted as the centre of the flower!

Just to Share!


Yesterday I received a parcel from Tanda Stamps and couldn't wait to play with what I had bought......This dragon image was just screaming at me to be used.

I stamped him using black stazon onto silver mirror card and then coloured him in with sakura glaze pens, after several hours the ink still had not dried so I sprinkled with embossing powder and heat set. I am really delighted with the end result, it was difficult to scan as its one of those cards that need to be moved to appreciate, but I think you can get the general idea!

Rainbow Lady Challenge "FASHION"


I got these stamps out to do a card for a friends 60th birthday, which I featured earlier in the week, for that card I cut the clothes away from their border so for this challenge I have used them in their entirety.
