Messy Rabbit saves the day

I was asked to make a couple of cards for work colleagues. One was for an engagement and another was a thank you card that had a tortoise on it. I had very short notice for both cards so with limited time my Messy Rabbit CD came up trumps for both. I have used Bazzill cardstock to mat the images and some little sparkly circles on the engagement card, which you might make out in the close up. The letters were done using the Moxi alphabet and my Quickutz Squeeze. Hopefully I will get the chance to do some stamping and colouring soon- I am having withdrawal symptoms!

Truly Scrumptious/Charmed card

The sketch aver at the Truly Scrumptious challenge is fabulous. I had to make a card for a friend's birthday. I also spotted a competition over on Charmed Cards & Crafts where you have to submit coloured images- I have downloaded the image from their website, isn't she sweet?
The papers are HOTP and the CS is Bazzill. I used my Scalloped Edge punch from Stampin' Up!, some sticky pink ribbon from Anita's and Primas with a pearl brad in the centre. The image was watercoloured with Derwent Inktense pencils.

Three cards/Three different challenges

The first card is for a new challenge Truly Scrumptious which you will find the link to on My Fave Blogs. This was a sketch challenge- my favourite kind. I used some papers from my stash which I am trying to use up- have no idea where they are from or who by. The image is another from the Whiff of Joy Spring Kit and is watercoloured with my Derwent pencils. I have used blue Bazzill for matting and layering, a couple of stick on gems and a Prima flower with a brad in the middle.

The second card is for this week's Whiff Of Joy challenge. You had to use a sketch and they are also looking for guest designers. I have used one of the images from the latest Spring Kit from WoJ and had a first attempt at colouring using Distress Inks. The paper is from my stash, the ribbon is Anita's and the sentiment has been mounted on papers punched using SU scalloped circle and circle punches.

Over on Sugar Sugar was a project to make a tag card. This is my attempt. The image is Sugar Nellie, isn't it cute? I have watercoloured the image using my trusty Derwent pencils. The main card is Bazzill and the patterned paper is from DCWV Glitterstack. I have matted the image on orange Bazzill and added a Bazzill blossom with a brad in the centre to the closure tab. Finally I glued some little embellies from my stash.

High Hopes guest DT call

High Hopes are looking for guest designers. Check here if you fancy entering
I have never been on a DT before and would never normally enter such a thing but I love High Hopes and in a moment of madness, decided to throw my hat into the ring.This card is my entry.
I have used papers from DCWV Glitterstack, Bazzill cardstock, Anita's sticky ribbon and flowers from my stash with a brad in the centre. The stamp is High Hopes and I have watercoloured her with my Derwent pencils. I have then added Glossy Accents to the dummy/soother to make it stand out a little.

High Hopes challenge

The challenge this week is a sketch by the fabulous Katharina. I have used one of the few stamps I own from High Hopes, although I hope to obtain lots more. The CS used is Bazzill and the paper is Basic Grey Figgy Pudding. I have coloured the image using my Derwent Inktense.

This was a great sketch for this week's challenge as it was nice and simple to follow. I downloaded the lovebirds image from Pollycraft, printed it on watercolour paper and coloured it using my Derwent Inktense. The papers I have used are Basic grey Ambrosia and the image is matted on black Bazzill. The gems are from my stash.

Whiff of Joy challenge

This week is a sketch challenge over on Whiff of Joy with another fab sketch from Katharina. I have made this in a rush so am not very happy with it but am entering it anyway. The stamp is Willow with Chocolate from WOJ, one of my favourites. The papers are by DCWV, Glitterstack and I have also used some blue Bazzill CS.

Whiff of Joy challenge

This week's challenge over on Whiff Of Joy was a colour combo of purple & green. I have used a stamp from Elzybells and coloured the image with Promarkers. I then edged the image with purple Promarker and matted it onto purple paper from DCWV Pocketful of Posies. Green Bazzill was used to mount the image and the greeting onto the card blank. I finished the card by adding three green flowers from Prima, with a purple brad in the centre of each.

Been a busy crafter.

Yes, I got some time to craft last night and it was great. I made a card for Sketch Saturday using orange Bazzill. The papers are from the Glitterstack by DCWV. The Sarah Kay image was from my stash and I coloured it using my Derwent Inktense pencils. I then punched out the image using a circle punch and matted it on a larger scalloped circle.

Managed to make a card for Friday Sketchers. The cardstock is Bazzill and the papers used are by The English Paper Company. The stamps are from Stampin' Up! and I have added some dew drops from my stash.



I got lots of beautiful cards for my birthday recently and Nicola at http://mypaperworld.blogspot.com/ enclosed some beautiful stamped images. I managed to make a couple of cards with these last night. The images have been coloured using my new Promarkers, a gift from my hubby, which was very nice I must say. I also mad e acard using a Sarah Kay image I had.

A birthday card for my uncle

My aunt asked me to make her a card to give her hubby on his birthday this Sunday. I have used papers and an image from Joanna Sheen's Egyptian Adventure. The image is mounted on some Bazzill cardstock as it the greeting. Hope they both like it

DCM sketch challenge

I made this card based on this week's sketch from Daring Card Makers. I have used my current favourite papers from Pinkie Pops by Funky Fairy and a mat of Bazzill cardstock. I am really getting into this challenge thing, it gives me lots of inspiration.
