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.

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.

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.

STENCILS AND/OR MASKS

Morning Everyone,

I hope everyone is well.  I've been poorly all week with a chest infection and haven't had the enrgy or felt well enough to do anything.  Such a shame as it was such beautiful weather too.  

We have a new challenge starting over at Allsorts where, as well as Anything Goes, we have the option of Stencils/masks as chosen by Val.

For my card I have used a Waffle Flower Butterfly which has it's own co-ordinating stencil and I've used this with Altenew inks.  I die cut a second layer of the butterfly in green glitter card, but you can't see it in the pitcture.  The background stencil is from a company called CrafTreat.   The stencil was cut out with a double stitched square and layered onto green card.  The sentiment has been heat embossed in gold and is from an old Penny Black set.

Ther are two prizes, the first from Lisa Horton Crafts, Pansy Corner layering stencils with coordinating die and embossing folder. 

and an extra prize of 2 stencils

I hope you will be able to join us and look forward to seeing your entries in the next two weeks.

XMAS POSTAGE COLLAGE

 Morning Everyone,

A really wet morning here today, but at least the snow has all gone.  I've been having a play with my postage collage set and used the Christmas stamps, mainly in reds and pinks.

GLITTER & SPARKLE

 Good Morning Everyone,

This is my reminder post for Christmas Craft Creations where the theme this month is 'Glitter & Sparkle'.

I have used a tree die from Waffle Flower which I managed to buy second hand and have used snippets of glitter card cut into smaller strips and added to the back of the die.  A piece of gold glitter card for the star and sparkly gems finish the card off.  I couldn't decide where to put a sentiment so in the end left it without one. 

A very quick and simple card to make.  My mojo seems to have gone awol just lately and I can't seem to get going so have just been making DT cards at the moment.

Still plenty of time to enter as the challenge is open until Tuesday, 13th Feb.

I would like to enter:

ABC Christmas - A for Anything Christmas

Christmas Kickstart - the Midas Touch

Crafty Calendar - Anything Goes

Rabisco - Anything Goes

Double D - Sparkle and/or Shine

Snippets Playground - All the glitter pieces were snippets

Thank you for your visit and Iwill be back tomorrow.

ANYTHING GOES AT AYLI

Morning Everyone,

We have our final challenge of the year starting over at As You Like It and it is a nice and easy theme of Anything Goes.

For my card I have had a play with a recent birthday present, the Waffle Flower postage collage.  I made a mess on one of the stamps when stencilling so decided to cut them up and use only 3. It is a small A6 card so the other 2 usuable ones will have to go on another future project.

The sponsor for the challenge is
