Welcome Back Sunday Stamper

Sunday Stamper returned this week and the theme is HOME. I have cheated a bit and used a garden themed stamp as my garden is a large part of my home- hope you will allow this Hels. The stamps are all High Hopes and the papers are from Jesse Edwards. I have watercoloured the main image, cut it out and inked around the edges with a green chalk ink. I also inked around the edges of the card.

Hels is also giving away this candy to celebrate being back.Go check out her blog on my sidebar for details.

Friday Sketchers

Just made it in time to enter this week's challenge over at Friday Sketchers. Nice simple sketch this week. I used one of my new High Hopes stamps, coloured with Promarkers and cut her out using my Nestabilites. The paper is from basic Grey Lime Rickey collection. Flowers are Prima and the glitter dots were from QVC.
I am having problems with my playlist- basically it stopped playing so I have removed it for now. Since I did my blog has stopped freezing:0)
I have put on a few videos instead but these aren't going to smoothly. Anyone else having the same probs?
Thanks for stopping by

Some cards at long last!

Well I finally managed to grab some time to craft this afternoon and attempt the Sugar Bowl challenge. As well as following the sketch you had to use some kraft coloured cardstock on the card.I had made a card, then realised I hadn't used any kraft so had to start all over again.The cardstock is from Stampin' Up! and I used one of the Gorjuss stamps by Sugar Nellie. Paper is from Papermania.
This is the first attempt, minus the kraft cardstock but I thought I'd show it anyway although I cannot enter it.What a dope!
Thanks for looking

Flippin' Kidz & Sunday Stampers

I got this great decoupage from Create & Craft recently. If you haven't seen it then you get the front and the back of the image one the sheet. The special aperture cards allow you to use acetate so that you can view the front and then the back when you open the card. The images are all such fun. The paper used on the bottom half of the card is Basic Grey.

Sunday Stampers challenge this week was the theme of walking or the moon in honour of my friend Andrea and her daughter who completed the Playtex Moonwalk last weekend and raise over £2000 for charity. I have no moon stamps at all and I hope Hels will let me off with this as a "walking" theme- well, there are legs in it after all :0)
The stamp is my Paper Bag Studios and I stamped it in black Stazon. The background has been created using alcohol inks on glossy paper. I used some Core'dinations Black Magic and embossed it using a Cuttlebug folder, then sanded it to reveal the inner colour. This was then attached to the card blank and the image added.

Sketch Saturday

Another day, another card, this time using a lovely sketch for this week's Sketch Saturday challenge.The papers are from the new Jesse Edwards collection, another thing in my Creativity Goody Bag.I used my scalloped edge punch by Stampin' Up! to edge the pink papers. The image is my Innovative Stamp Creations and I have coloured this using Distress Inks. I have always loved this stamp plate and finally managed to get my hands on it last month. The flowers, spacers, brads and glittery dots are all from stash. Thanks for looking, have a good weekend
