Cute Card Thursday

I found some long neglected stamps the other day and had a lovely evening colouring them in. This image is from Whiff Of Joy and is by Elisabeth Bell.

Isn't she gorgeous? I coloured her with Promarkers and Flexmarkers, the papers are MME Stella Rose. The Digi Bells are having a Guest Design Team call so I was planning to enter this card. However when I went to link it up and read the post again, they had given a sketch to use and I forgot!!! Never mind, maybe next time. At least I rediscovered all my lovely Elisabether Bell images.It's one more thing in my day today that has not gone to plan. Should have known when this morning I put redcurrant jelly on my toast instead of jam that it was going to be one of those days!!
 I am entering the following challenges
Cute Card Thursday - sketch
Charisma Cardz  - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

Here's my latest journal page, this weeks' challenge was just to use two main colours

thanks for visiting, hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend

High Hopes/Cute Card Thursday challenges

The challenge at High Hopes this week was to use piercing on your project. I have used the Gorjuss- Sitting stamp which I just love. I coloured her with my Derwent Inktense and then matted her on some patterned paper and blue Bazzill which were cut from my Nesties. ( I totally love these and need some more sets I think!)I pierced all around the edge of the blue Bazzill but you may have to click on the image to get a closer look at it. The papers are from the K & Co Amy Butler Belle pad and I added a couple of glass beads to finish. Haven't put a sentiment on yet, can't decide who to send it to

This weeks Cute Card Thursday challenge was Floral Fantasy, you had to use flowers in your project. I used some lovely K & Co paper covered in roses and one of my new Gorjuss stamps. The image is watercoloured and matted onto some gold card. I placed it on some foam pads to give it a little lift. The scalloped sentiment is from Stampin' Up! set Oval All and is punched out with the SU oval scalloped punch. I stamped the sentiment in Stazon Blazing Red. Finally I added a couple of small flowers with a gold spacer in the centre.
thanks for looking and for any comments you leave

Sugar Bowl and Cute Card Thursday challenges

The current challenge over a the Sugar Bowl is to make something for Mother's Day. I decided to make a card keeper for my mum which I can fill with some handmade cards for her to use for her friends. I got the instructions from The Scrapbook Lounge ages ago but never got round to using them. The papers I have used are by Dovecraft and the cardstock is Bazzill. I have used one of the Sugar Nellie stamps by designer Leanne Ellis and coloured the image with watercolour pencils. Isn't she sweet? The ribbon is Stampin' Up! Chocolate Chip grosgrain. I then made some flower embellishments using Retro Flower punches and some gold brads.

This week's sketch over at Cute Card Thursday was great. I decide to use it to make a Mother's Day card for my mum-in-law. The papers are Sparkly Sweet by K & Co and the cardstock is Bazzill. The Tilda image was wateroloured using my Derwent pencils and the little piece of ribbon is from my stash.

Spoonful of Sugar/Cute Card Thursday

Two card for two challenges today. Managed to make these last night. The baby card is for the Spoonful of Sugar challenge which was to use a sketch. I have used some baby themed papers form my stash and stamped the image in Ultramarine Staz-on. The words are from the same stamp set but I cannot remember at the moment who makes them. I also used some pale blue twill, cutting a slit in the card to wrap it around the front. Finally I added some glitter to the edge of the basket using stickles and a peel off greeting on some cardstock which was mounted on foam pads.
The other card was for Cute Card Thursday which challenged you to use bright colours. I decided to use the sketch again and a Sarah Kay stamped image. I coloured her with my Derwent Inktense pencils( which I am in love with). The paper is from the DCWV Glitterstack and some cardstock and ribbon from my stash.
Hope you like them and thanks for looking
