LITTLE CHICKADEE

Morning Everyone,

I hope you've had an enjoyable weekend. I have made  a  Christmas card using this Chickadee image from Power Poppy.

I have coloured the image with copics and added glitter and liquid pearls for a bit of sparkle.  He has been cut out with a Sizzix oval die, the backing paper is from an old craft magazine and the sentiment is heat embossed in silver and from LOTV.

FOCAL SENTIMENT

Morning Everyone,

A little late with my post this morning.  Dates just seemed to have run away with me!  Anyway, it's time for a new challenge over at Allsorts and, as well as the usual Anything Goes, Helen has chosen the theme of Sentiment in Focus.

I recently bought this MFT die from Vinted so thought I would use it for the challenge.  It is quite dangerous being on Vinted because you see stamps and dies you don't necessarily need but definitely want.  I have sold quite a few things on there too so it does come in handy as it's so easy to use.

Anyway back to my card.  As you can see I have cut the words in different colours for a bright card for a child.  I have coloured two little mice, also from a MFT set, and fussy cut them and stuck them to the card.  I did stamp the one with the balloon first so I didn't have to fussy cut the string. That would have been going too far.  

Prize for the challenge is a lovely Sweep Poppy A5 stamp set and sentiment stencil plus a second 'surprise' prize.

I would like to enter:

Colourful Options - Rainbow colours

Word Power - Sentiment in focus

Classic Design - Anything Goes

I hope you can join us and you can pop over here to see the inspiration from the rest of the team.

Have a good weekend and I'll be back soon.

FAVOURITE EMBELLISHMENT?

Morning Everyone,

A new challenge starts over at As You Like It and we would like you to share a project containing your favourite embellishment. 

Mine are definitely pearls and enamel dots.  They're not too bulky for posting and add a little bit of extra prettiness to a card.

I have used Pinkfresh Studio washi tape for this card and cut the pieces out with their respective dies.  The sentiment is from the same company and has been heat embossed in gold.  Sparkly enamel dots used this time as I didn't have the right colours in pearls.

I hope you can join us.  Thank you for visiting and have a good day.

CHRISTMAS AT ALLSORTS

Good Morning Everyone,

It's the start of a new challenge over at Allsorts and the alongside Anything Goes is Christmas cards. 

For my DT card I have used the lovely Vintage Reindeer from Honey Bee Stamps.  She has been shaded in place with various inks, layered up and popped onto an oval which I stamped with a Penny Black stamp called Christmas Story.  The holly and bells are included in the set and the background papers are from an old Authentique pad.  I have quite a few vintage style papers in my stash so will probably have another play with this set again soon.  I decided to emboss the sentiment in gold onto a snippet of the striped paper, which worked ok by getting it central in between the lines.

There are 2 prizes of stamps, stencils and dies:

FAVOURITE CRITTER?

Good Morning Everyone,

Back again for the start of a new challenge over at As You Like It where we are asking you to share your projects containing a favourite critter.

Not in real life as I would freak if there was one in the house, but colouring wise I do love these cute mice with their big ears and they are easy to colour too.  This is a digi stamp from Di's digi designs. I've had it for ages and never coloured it up before so thought it was time.

I have used copics to colour and papers from a pad which seems to have gone walkies so I can't remember the make.  After I'd coloured quite a bit I had an ink mark where it couldn't be hidden so I fussy cut the image and glued it to another die cut circle.  I thought it was ruined at first but then thought they would be fairly easy to cut out so that it what I did.  The sentiment is from a Penny Black set.

FIGGY PUDDING

Morning Everyone,

It's been a while sisnce I posted anything other than a DT card, but thought I'd have a play with this sweet die set from Spellbinders called Dancing Figgy Pudding.

I cut the little pud from a few snippets and inked the face at the edges.  The eyes and cheeks are just tiny bits of black and pink stuck to the back and I've added glossy accents to the berries.  The paper is from a piece from a LOTV pad and the sentiment from a Paper Smooches stamp set embossed in silver.

I would like to enter:

Short and sweet today. I've been completing a few DT cards as I like to get them made up in advance at this time of year before the Christmas madness starts.

See you soon.
