TOBY TUMBLE

Today I have a card to share with you and to enter into a few challenges.  I have used a digi image that I have had for a very, very long time, I got him from Cuddly Buddly he is from the Pachela range of digi images and is called Toby Tumbler, Walking in Clover.

I have coloured the image with Graph It Markers then mounted him onto gold pearl card and black card, I used my X Cut punch to round the edges, I use my EK Success circle cutter for the central circles, the paper is from Bearly Mine, I then used my SU punches for the sentiment.  The sentiment and flower corners are from Crafter's Companion Vintage Clear Stamp collection I used Momento Black Tuxedo ink, I added some Cosmic Shimmer Pink Pearl PVA glue for the pearls.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

SENTIMENTAL SUNDAYS - ANIMALS

THROUGH THE PURPLE HAZE - ANYTHING GOES

LOVE TO CREATE - ANYTHING GOES

Many thanks for popping by do hope that you will come back soon.

Baking For Kitty-VC Challenge

Hi all I have been watching and recording the top 40 hits of Michael Jackson, how sad it is to have lost such a lovely person and a fantastic singer/dancer and at such a young age.

I have only managed to do one card today and that is this one for the VC Challenge based on a sketch. I have used one of my new Digi Stamps from VC called 'Baking for Kitty' and don't they look lovely. I have coloured them with promarkers the backing papers are from Bearlymine except the blue lace which is from Joanna Sheen I just had to add a couple of flowers and of course a sentiment which is from Cuddly Buddly.

Actually I made four cards for challenges yesterday but wasn't happy with any of them so they will just be put to one side to be used for other things. This is the first card in the last few days that I was happy with hence it being posted. Hugs to all.

I WON last weeks The Crafty Pad challenge.... hooray....how wonderful is that then. Ok the Digi Stamp is a new one from Cuddly Buddly the rest of the papers are from Bearlymine and added some embellishments. Two down two to go I will be back.....lol....Hugs

DareU2DigiStamp

Good morning crafter's another lovely day but I have heard it has to change because we are being spoilt lol.  Anyway this is my entry for this week's DareU2DigiStamp Challenge and is based on the sketch.  For this one I have used a download from The Cutting Cafe which is part of my Just Magnolia win and I am delighted with this prize.  I have actually layered the cupcake which has been coloured with promarkers the papers are a bit of a mix but mostly free downloads from Cuddly Buddly.  I haven't really added much else to this because I think the image and backing papers say it all.  Hope you like it and will be visiting you all later lots of hugs.

Promarker Challenge No 1

The backing papers are a mix from my stash and Funky Fairy's the flowers were sent to me by Lora and the sentiment is also Cuddly Buddly.  Hope you like it 

DareU2DigiStamp Challenge 4

Apologies for the quality of this picture don't know why it looks like this I haven't done anything different to what I normally do. Anyway hope you are enjoying this lovely Saturday it was raining buckets here at 6.00am but the sun is now shinning.

This is my entry for this weeks DareU2DigiStamp Challenge the theme is 'Things with Wings' so I have used a new Digi Stamp from Victoria Case. My thanks go to Brandi because she uses these quite a lot and when I saw her feature this one on her blog I couldn't resist and ended up getting three stamps and they are gorgeous. I have coloured her with promarkers added a ribbon a sentiment from the Cuddly Buddly range also used a couple of flowers and the backing papers were freebies from a craft mag. Hope you like it.

Just Magnolia No1

Good evening everyone I have just finished visiting and commenting on your blogs and have seen a few entries for this challenge and boy are they good....well they are very good actually. This is my entry for this new challenge at Just Magnolia. I loved this sketch the only problem I had was choosing which Tilda to use they are all such beauties but I picked this one in the end plus the bench. I chose to use a mixture of purples for this one and the papers are from MIC and have had them yonks they were on offer and what crafter ever misses a bargain lol. I coloured Tilda with promarkers added a sentiment from Cuddly Buddly and the ribbon was free from a craft magazine the roses at the top were also a bargain buy from Hobbycraft also yonks ago. Oh and the card stock is a 6 x 6 hammered card and the deckled edging is already done. Hugs to you all.

Ooh la la challenge

This is my entry for this week's Ooh-la-la-challenge the theme being Black & Gold. I have given stamping a rest and used my Big Shot and cuttlebug embossing folder, Swiss Dots, to emboss the hearts which I cut with my Cricut. I found some gold ribbon from my stash and added the black and gold jewels. Finally I used a Cuddly Buddly round greetings stamp stamped onto black card then mounted onto gold mirri card and cut round with pinking scissors. My main reason for creating this one is that Valentines day is getting closer and this may come in useful.
