FAVOURITE COLOURING MEDIUM

 Morning Everyone,

A new challenge starts today over at As You Like It and we are asking you to share a project using your favourite colouring medium



Copics are my favourite markers mainly because I have used them from the start of my crafting journey and I have lots of colours.  I would like to try pencils some day but I never seem to have much time or, if I'm not happy with the results straight away, patience either!

For my card I have used a Gina K designs stamp set call Wishful Florals, cut them out with their dies and adhered them to my silver frame, which I think is an unbranded die from Amazon.  I've had it for ages so can't quite remember where it's from.  The sentiment is heat embossed and from Pinkfresh Studio.  Clear and purple dots were added for a bit of sparkle.

The sponsor for the challenge is:


with a prize for the lucky winner

I would like to enter:

Flower Challenge - Add embellishments
Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp - Stitch it (stitched rectangle used)
Beautiful Blossoms - Anything Floral

I hope you can join us this fortnight and I look forward to seeing all your lovely colouring.

I SPY "B"

Morning Everyone,

The new challenge at Allsorts starts today with a theme of "I Spy 'B'" as well as the Anything Goes option.



My B's are Bird on a Branch and I have used a digital image which I won from Varada Sharma and coloured it with copics.  I then die cut it with Spellbinders arched dies and typed the sentiment on my pc.  The green backing paper is from a MFT paper pad.

There are 2 prizes of stamps and matching dies for the lucky winners.

I would like to enter:

Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
Stamping Sensations - Birds, Bees & butterflies
Paper Fundays - Anything Goes


Have a good weekend.  It looks as though it's going to be a bit cooler here today which is good.

FAVOURITE SEASON

Morning Everyone,

It's the start of a new challenge over at As You Like It and we are asking you to share a project which relates to your favourite season. 


Mine is Spring.  I love it when the garden starts to wake up again with lovely Spring flowers after being so bare in the winter months.  It also means we are on the way to warmer weather.

For my card I have used three freebie images called Spring Botanicals from Uniko and coloured them with copics.  I have layered them up with co-ordinating colours and adhered them to wood effect white card.  Green and white twine and tiny labels from Mama Elephant finish it off.

The sponsor for the challenge is:


I would like to enter:

Beautiful Blossoms - Anything Floral Goes
Passion for Markers - Anything Goes
Pennys Paper Crafty - Anything Goes

Have a good weekend when it gets here and thank you for your visit.

ANIMALS AT ALLSORTS

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge over at Allsorts and Helen has chosen the optional theme of Animals and, of course, there is always Anything Goes.



I had a delve into my NBUS basket to see what was there for the theme and found these little hippos from Clearly Besotted.  I must admit I was a little stuck on what to do with them so I decided to colour them up with my copics first then fussy cut them and that way I had a few more options on how to use them.  When that was all done I had a play around.  There were some already cut hexagons on my desk and after a bit of playing about I decided on the above layout.    The sentiment is from an old set, also from Clearly Besotted and I added tiny pearls to the centres of the flowers.

There are 2 prizes of Lavinia stamps, stencils and stampscapes for the lucky winners




I would like to enter:

Penny's Paper Crafty - Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp  Weds - Anything Goes
Critter Crazy - ATG with a featured critter
Passion for Markers - Dies and/or Punches
NBUS - Hippo stamps were NBUS


Have a good weekend.  Hubby's football matches start again today so he will be out and I will be having some crafting time hopefully!
