Stamping Vacation Sketch Therapy and Meljen Releases

Hi all today is the start of a new Sketch Therapy Challenge at Stamping Vacation, unfortunately I got it wrong so I am rather late posting my DT card based on the sketch as shown below.

I used an Anya image coloured with H2o's, the papers are from Crafty Ann's Digi Shop, I have also used mirror card a sentiment and punched out some stars. 

My next cards are all showing just a selection of the new Meljen releases available at Whimsy Stamps.  I have some more that I am working on and will be showing them over the next few days. 

I hope you have enjoyed looking at my work and I thank you all so much for the wonderful comments that you have left for me I enjoy reading them they bring me joy and so much encouragement so Thank You.

Hugs to all see you later.

Today I made two cards the first one I am entering into 

Stamping Vacation - Photo Inspiration

My first card is for Stamping Vacation photo inspiration of ladies, I have used Freebie images from Sylvia coloured with Copics.  If you haven't yet visited Stamping Vacation please go and have a look become a follower and just mention I sent you.  They have a challenge for each day.

This second card was going to be entered for two challenges but I made a boo boo the sketch is from last week the colours were for this weeks Pixie Cottage but I followed the wrong sketch so I got my knickers in a bit of a twist lol.  I thought you might like to see it anyway as I have used one of the new Meljen images available from Whimsy Stamps and I love it.

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.
