One Stop Crafts Challenge + 2 extras

Morning all I have a few cards to show you that I made even though my mojo and any creativity I have, left me. Tonight I have managed to do my commenting and feel a little return to normality my heart is once again filled with happiness and joy after seeing some of the most beautiful work ever, you are all such a source of creativity and inspiration to me I love it. 

Well today is a new One Stop Craft Challenge #89 and this week our lovely Janet has chosen the theme of a colour combo which requires the use of 

Blue, Green, Pink a splash of red and any bling also welcome.

Here is my DT card

I have taken a few photo's so you can see the inside as well as the outside of the Criss Cross card.

The splash of red is on my round tag at the top and inside of the inner part of the card, if you know what I mean lol.

I have used Kaiser papers, the ribbons that I used around the shape of the card and the middle I bought from Crafty Ribbons, who do a wide range of all ribbons at fab prices.

The image is a Miss Anya coloured with Copics, the butterflies I punched out using my Tonic punch I added some stickles to their wings. I hope you like and please visit the other DTM and see their beautiful cards for inspiration.

I do hope you come join our challenge this week we would so love to see you 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This card I have made for one of the challenges at Stamping Vacation called Animal Applause which requires the use of an image of an animal that you can safely hold in your arms.

I have also used one of the sketches from Tuesday Morning Sketches who are celebrating their 1st birthday and you get to choose one of their past sketches, this week I chose No: 44
Passion For Promarkers also requires the use of an animal.

Here is my card

I have used the image of Love me Enough from Whimsy Stamps and is a digi image that I have coloured with promarkers.  I have mounted it onto both pink card and silver mirror card the dp is Basic Grey Bittersweet, I have added a flower punched out using my Tonic punch added a button for the centre I also added some pink card candy I have kept it CAS as I am so loving this style.

This is a closer look at the image.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This third card I have made using the Whiff of Joy sketch and a Whiff of Joy Digi Image. The colours were chosen to fit the challenge at Crafty Angels which is Red and Black.

The image I coloured with promarkers and added some diamond stickles to the little flowers on her tunic.  The bp I printed off my computer ages ago so cannot say a name at this time, I have used co-ordinations black card, red card candy and black lace from the Lawrence Bowen range, I also added a few red roses and gems.

Well I hope you have enjoyed looking at my cards and maybe they will inspire you just a little bit if they do then I am more than happy.

Hugs to all see you later.

Friday Challenges

Today I am doing one post for two DT cards.

The first one is for Crafty Ann's Challenge Blog and the theme is quite unusual and was chosen by our lovely Kym.  The theme is to make a card or project based on one of Cliff Richard's songs and there are tons to choose from if you would like a list to choose from then just click HERE

I think I opted for an easy one which is Congratulations.  I used Craft Ann's mottled backing papers which I am in love with, I chose a Meljen image available from Whimsy Stamps coloured with promarkers, I added some ric rac ribbon, card candy, ribbon, bow and flower the sentiment is SU.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My second DT card is for Fun at Fairy Knoll #7 this is the sketch

When I printed it out I didn't notice the diagonal lines so please excuse the error.

The bp is Kaiser embossed paper and really beautiful the image is a new one from Fairy Knoll called Shelley isn't she a beauty, I coloured her with Copics the background I used chalks, added some gems and ribbon.

I do hope you will come join us in both these challenges we really look forward to seeing you.

Hugs to all see you later......I hope

Chi Chi Memories #10 Challenge

Today sees a new Sketch Challenge at Chi Chi Memories if you would like to join in then please use the sketch and upload your card to the challenge section at Chi Chi Memories.  If you would like to use one of Chi Chi images there is a freebie section that you are welcome to use.

Here is the sketch

and here is my card

I have used an A5 tapestry embossed black card base which is why I have not used any dp it is virtually impossible to see in the picture but in real life it is rather beautiful.  I have used a Chi Chi image which is one of my favourites called 'relax' I have kept colouring to a minimum and used lilac and greys, the image I mounted onto lilac card. I added some matching card candy and flowers from my stash the ribbon is a new satin patterned designer ribbon which also has a very slight lilac tinge to it.

I seem to have lost my mojo and do not feel that I am producing anything worth posting at the moment I have started to visit you all but I'm afraid it is a slow progress so please bear with me.

I hope you will come join us for this challenge which is bi-weekly so you have plenty of time to create something wonderful.

Hugs to all see you later.
