THINGS WITH WINGS

Morning Everyone,

Today is the start of a new challenge over at Allsorts where I've chosen the optional theme of Things with Wings to go alongside Anything Goes.

For my card I have used the Hibiscus Garden die set from Altenew alongside Hummingbird dies from Waffle Flower.  The birds were cut in white and various inks used to make them look pretty.    The leaves were cut from some variegated green dp and the flowers cut in a peach and lemon coloured card and shaded with copics where necessary. Before adhering everything to the card I lightly inked the bottom half in green and top in a pale blue.  The sentiment is from a MFT birthday messages set.

The prize is a $30 gift card from Taylored Expressions and extra prize of an A4 stamp set.

    

                                                             

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

Thank you for your visit and have a lovely weekend.

TOOLS R US

 Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It and we are asking "who is your favourite person to craft for?".

I love making for all family members, but I have chosen hubby this time.  He knows I don't really like/make many masculine cards so when I make the effort for him he really appreciates it.

For this card I have used tool dies from Sweet Dixie.  I have die cut them in snippets of red, grey and silver mirri card and arranged them around the die cut numbers.  The sentiments are from a Woodware stamp set also containing diy tools.  He is definitely a Mr. Fix It so I thought the words were very apt for him.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

SPRING BUNNY

Morning Everyone,

I hope you had a good weekend.  I had a little play and this is what I came up with.

I used a LOTV digi image called Bunny Blooms and coloured him with copics.  I've added two tiny butterflies from a punch, twine and paper from stash.  The sentiment is from WPlus9 which I have layered with white and green.

I would like to enter:

That's it for now, short and sweet. Have a good day and thank you for your visit.

ADD RIBBON OR A BOW

Morning Everyone,

A new challenge starts over at Allsorts today where Sarah is the host and the theme is "Add ribbon or a bow" as well as Anything Goes.

 

For my DT card I have used a LOTV image.  My niece received her first phone for Christmas so I thought it was an apt image for her.  I have coloured with copics and inked around the edges.  All papers are from old LOTV pads and flowers and pearls have been added for decoration.  The ribbon is in the form of a bow in the flowers and also a strip across the top of the darker purple strip, although it looks like card in the photo.  The sentiments are also from LOTV.

Prize of A5 stamp set, stencil and ribbons and £10 digital download from Polkadoodles

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.
