Sew Many Challenges Blog Hop & Challenge

Hi all hope you are well and enjoying the Easter holidays before I get onto my post I would love to share some wonderful news with you all  I have been chosen as one of the new DT for Sew Many Challenges. 

I was so thrilled when I found out as I have always loved working with the Sew Many Animal characters and now along with the new releases this is going to be a wonderful experience not only for me but hopefully for you as well.

This week saw the launch of a new blog hop at Sew Many Challenges where you have a chance of winning one or more of the brand new super super cute images from Angela.  If you haven't been over to have a nosey then please do so it is well worth the visit. The Sew Many Challenge this week is 'Folds' this could be gatefold, tent fold or any other fold that you fancy having a go at,  below I am showing not one but two cards I have made using a different technique the first one is new to me and I just love the finished card which is called a tri-fold.

I used basic white card stock added some backing paper which I think is Basic Grey the pink lace is the MS border punch and is my favourite so far. I added some gems and adhesive ribbon on the centre inside panel the scallops are from my SU stamping set and punch and this is the first time I have used it.  I just could not resist using my all time favourite image Jovi who I have coloured with pro markers and mounted on nestie scallops.

This second card is the 'crossover' card which I have always loved and this one I am entering into a few other challenges as well. I have used Purple and Turquoise for this one and again coloured Jovi with pro markers but this time with purples I added some Cosmic Silver Glitter, ribbon and flowers.

The other challenges I am entering this one into are:

C.R.,A.F.T.   - Purple and Turquoise 

CHARISMA CARDS  - Animal Magic

TOTALLY PAPERCRAFTS  -   Use a Digi

CRAFTY CREATIONS   - Anything goes

PAPERTAKE WEEKLY  - Anything Goes

YOUR NEXT STAMP CHALLENGE - Purple

I hope you like these and find in some way a little inspiration hugs to all see you later.

Prairie Fairy Friday DT Card

Hi all today sees the start of a new challenge at Prairie Fairy and this week we would like to see some Texture on your projects.

This is my DT card using a Prairie Fairy image coloured with pro markers I used my 'dreamer' stamp with I thought was quite apt.  I have used some different coloured card and along with the flowers put them through the Cuttlebug using the daisy and Swiss dots folders I have also added a double layer of MS punched borders.  I hope you like it and can't wait to see what you come up with.

Hugs to all and see you later.

Sir Stampalot Challenge Launch Day

Hi all  I wish you a very good morning and a warm welcome to you all for the launch of our new

 Sir Stampalot Challenge.

The day we have all been eagerly awaiting has finally arrived, it's seemed forever coming and we really have all been bursting at the seams for the chance to share all our excitement with you.

Over the coming months we have some fantastic themes lined up for you, along with some fabulous prizes from Sir Stampalot. Our challenges will each run for a month and we hope the information in the sidebar at the challenge blog will help you familiarise yourself with how it all works. Any questions please yell.

I bet you all want to know what theme and what you could win in our very first challenge. Our first theme is:

"Fantasy"

It is entirely up to you what you create and how you interpret the theme and we are so looking forward to visiting you all and seeing your wonderful creations.

Sir Stampalot have been so generous with the winners prize .......pinch yourself first because it's:

A Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter

PLUS a Pooh Font Cartridge

How fabby is that and if the opportunity to win that doesn't get your creative juices flowing, then I don't know what will. And of course we will also be selecting our Top 3 who will be able to display our special logo.

The Design Team have come up with some awesome projects so please do go and visit them and see how they have been created and show your appreciation for all their hard work.

This is my contribution for our 'Fantasy' theme 

So where do I start lol......I was really away with the fairies when I first thought about this card I knew the stamp I wanted to use as soon as I learnt what the challenge was, isn't it funny that one word can conjure up a stamp that has never been used that has been in the box for years well that is what happened to me.  I bought the main top stamp years ago from a local craft shop (now closed) it is a Creative Expression stamp from the Oasis range.  I very much wanted the black, white and silver theme the stamps on the bottom of this A5 easel card are from Elusive Images. The roses I made myself the bottom background I used Cosmic Shimmer Glimmer Mist Silver, all images have been stamped using Versafine Onyx Black the butterflies are MS triple butterfly punch.  I hope you like it and will so enjoy seeing what you come up with.

Digital Tuesday Challenge DT Card #52

Hi all we have a new challenge at Digital Tuesday today and this time we want you to use 'scraps' on your project.  I know we all have them and the pile always seems to get bigger and bigger so take this opportunity to use some up.  It took me a few hours to sort through mine until I found what I needed to use with this image from CJ which I had already coloured.  I managed to find some pearlescent embossed paper it was the very last piece I had I am not sure what paper the pink is.  I added some flowers, gems and sentiment I hope you like it and find a little inspiration if you would like more then please visit the other DT their work is amazing.
