FAVOURITE COLOUR

 Morning Everyone,

A new challenge starts today at As You Like It and we would like to see a project using your favourite colour.

Blue has always been my favourite colour.  This has graduated to purples too, but I used blue for this card mainly because I found the image partly coloured in a folder recently with a blue hydrangea.  Not sure why it was there though, but best to get it used!

The cute little kitten is from Di's Digistamps and I have coloured with copics.  The large circle die is from Spellbinders and I've used old papers from stash to complete the card.  The sentiment is from a Penny Black set and I've made the two enamel type dots by adding  glossy accents to die cut circles.

Thank you for popping by and have a good day.

DINO-MITE WISHES

Morning Everyone,

I hope you are keeping well.  It was really cold here yesterday so I spent the day inside.  I did try to go out and do a bit of tidying in the garden, but the wind was just too cold so I ended up making this card to enter into the Colourful Options challenge. 

It's a cute dinosaur from Spellbinders and I've cut her out with snippets and placed her on my arch die and used backing paper from LOTV.  The sending sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp and I've used the computer for the Dino-mite Wishes. This is a photo of a few of the snippets used:

EMBOSSING

Morning Everyone,

A new challenge is starting over at Allsorts and the theme alongside Anything Goes is "Embossing - Heat or Dry". 

I have used Gina K Ruffled Blooms for my card.   I cut them out with their die then embossed and then used the co-ordinating stencil.  I did it this way instead of just embossing onto a piece of card as I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it at first, but it is quite a large stamp so it fills most of the card anyway!  I used various shades of inks, added the die cut to a the white rectangle which had been heat embossed with the sentiment from a Penny Black set.  A lace edger from Altenew was added to the bottom.

The prize is a Lisa Horton Rambling Woodgrain Rose embossing folder and coordinating stencils.

                                               

I hope you can join us, have a good weekend.  It looks as though we're going to have a sunny but cold day here.   I'm hoping to get some crafty time in as hubby is going to watch a football match.

CUTE OR ELEGANT?

 Morning Everyone,

Today sees the start of a new challenge over at As You Like It where the theme is "Cute or Elegant?".

I do like to make cute cards for children, but more often than not my makes are floral.   I make quite a few for an elderly aunt to give to her friends.  For this card I have used a Stampin Up layered peony in cream and used snippets of green and brown papers for the die cuts.  The sentiment is heat embossed in gold and from MFT.

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

Have a good weekend.

CREATE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND

 Morning Everyone,

Time for a new challenge over at Allsorts and Donna has picked the theme "Create Your Own Background" to go alongside Anything Goes.

For my card I have used a rectangular die to make a template and coloured with Distress Oxides, Shaded Lilac, Picked Raspberry and Saltwater Taffy. I have to say that one of the edges wasn't perfect - I couldn't have held it down properly - so I had to cut the inked rectangle out to tidy it up and add it to a stitched die cut piece of white cardstock.   I then stamped Sweet Bouquet by The Ton when the inked square was in place,  matted with black and used a sentiment from LOTV.

The prize for this challenge is a set of four background stamps from AALL and Create

I hope you can join us and have a good weekend.

FAVOURITE DIE?

 Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It and we are asking you to share a project using your favourite die.

I use quite a few dies but for this challenge have chosen my Waffle Flower postage collage as a favourite.  It's very flexible and can be used as it is or cut up to create any style of card you wish.  It can also be used for any small stamps and not just the stencils that co-ordinate with the die.  

I have used the spring flowers stencil on this one, cut them out and used a butterfly die and small flowers.  The sentiment has been heat embossed in gold. The colours of the tulips and small flowers look blue in the photo, but they are purple. I used little snippets for the butterfly and flowers, but no photo, sorry.

BOYS AND MEN

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts where Ellie has chosen the theme of Boys and Men and there is always Anything Goes.

My card is made up of an image and papers from Maja Design.  I have inked and roughened the edges of the papers, fussy cut the number plates and also used a mixture of cog dies which were a purchase from Amazon. The sentiment has been stamped in a dark brown to match the rest of the card.

The prizes are two stamp sets from Sweet Poppy:

                                             

I hope you can join us and that your mojo is back now we are back to normal.  I know mine disappeared a bit over the Christmas and New Year period, but it's beginning to come back.
