FAVOURITE COLOURING MEDIUM?

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It and we are asking you to share projects using your favourite colouring medium and to be a prize winner you must say why it's your favourite.

Mine is copic markers.  I have used them since I started making cards am more experienced with them and I love how they blend so well.  I do have a go with Zig markers now and then, but mainly for florals.

For my card I have used the Waffle Flower postage die and added my Mama Elephant Reindeer Games stamp set.  The deer, tree and presents have been coloured with copics, die cut and added onto the little squares which I've inked with blue ink.  The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

I hope you can join us and your can see the inspiration from the rest of the DT here.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.  It's going to be another scorcher today here in the UK so I hope you manage to keep cool whatever you are doing.

TREES

Hello Everyone,

I bought this Pretty Pink Posh tree cover plate die a while ago with the aim of using up snippets of paper.

This is my first play with it and I decided to go with red snippets. After cutting the plate out in white cardstock I taped the snippets to the back of the die and cut them out and then inlaid into the spaces.  This leaves all the white cut out trees so will have to have a play with them at a later date.  I've heat embossed the sentiment onto a piece of red card and added it to the middle.

Have a good rest of the day and I will be back soon.

SANTA'S SLEIGH

Hello All,

I hope you are well and enjoying the warm weather. 

I've made this Christmas card with some challenges in mind.

It consists of a Spellbinders die called "Delivering Joy Sleigh" which has been cut from snippets, added onto a stitched edge square of hammered cardstock.  The sentiment, which has the letters cut out instead of being stamped, is also from Spellbinders, but not part of the sleigh set.

I would like to enter:

That's it for now.  Whatever you are doing I hope you have a good weekend and I will see you soon.

COLOURS OF SUMMER

 

Morning Everyone,

Today we start a new challenge over at Allsorts and Sarah  has chosen the subject "Colours of Summer" to run alongside Anything Goes.

For my card I have used a Simon Says Stamp called So Beautiful.  I stamped it in Versafine Onyx Black and then clear heat embossed.  I have coloured everything with my Zig markers and heat embossed the sentiment, which is an old one from LOTV, in gold.

The prize for the winner is a Butterfly stamp and stencil from Visible Image

FAVOURITE SAFARI ANIMAL

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It and the subject is "Your Favourite Safari Animal".  This is my DT card.

Have you ever had a disaster right at the end of making a card?  Well that's what happened to this one.  Somehow orange ink appeared just below a die cut sentiment and no matter how I tried to get rid, it wouldn't work so the layout has turned out completely different to what I had intended.  I had to tear the sentiment off and cut the image down, which is an old one from Wild Rose Studio, and extend it with some mini scalloped edgers.  I only had one small bit of the striped paper left and it wouldn't fit top and bottom without the edgers.  Then to top it all the sentiment, which is from LOTV, didn't stamp properly onto the image so I had to cut a small stitched rectangle and add that on top.

With that little rant over I have to say I do love Elephants as my safari choice, especially young ones.  I love seeing them run about when they are small and they look so cute.

DIVINE PEONY

Morning Everyone,

I've had a play over the weekend with this Divine Peony die from Simon Says Stamp.

I cut it out with white cardstock and coloured the flower with Distress Oxides Tattered Rose, Saltwater Taffy and Worn Lipstick.  The greenery was coloured with two Altenew mini ink cubes.  I had a search through my patterned papers and found this sheet with a touch of pink at the top so went with that. The sentiment is heat embossed in gold and is from a SSS set called Celebrating You.

Thank you for your visit, see you soon,  and I hope you have a good week.

SEASIDE

Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts where the theme is "Seaside" as well as Anything Goes. 

I have used a Stampin Up set for my card called Oceanfront.  Everything is from that set except the birds which are from the SU Sail Away stamp and the sentiment which has been heat embossed in white.  Matted onto kraft card it is a fairly straightforward and will probably go to my brother who lives in Cornwall.

The prize is a collection of stamps for one winner from Stamp Addicts.

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

Thank you for your visit and have a lovely weekend.
