FAVOURITE 2 COLOUR COMBO AT AYLI

 Morning Everyone,

A new challenge starts today at As You Like It and we are asking to see your favourite 2 colour combo.

I have used green and yellow.  I thing it's such a fresh looking combination and always reminds me of Spring flowers.  We have kindly been provided images by the sponsor

and I have coloured this cute gnome with copics and just added 3 small die cut flowers and twine with kraft as the base.  The sentiment was computer generated and I've printed it in grey as I think black can look a bit too harsh sometimes.

I would like to enter:

Thank you for your visit and have a good rest of the week.

BABY GIRL

 Morning Everyone,

This the card I made for my younger daughter's first baby. She had her by caesarian as baby had turned the wrong way, both doing well.  The interrupted sleep at night is a bit of a shock to her and her boyfriend, but everyone has to go through it and it will only get better eventually (hopefully)  :) .

When I saw the Bundle of Joy dies from Honey Bee Stamps on the Dies to Die For website I knew I wanted to have a play.  I had a big search through my snippets to find patterns small enough for baby clothes and this is what I came up with.  I think they are all from LOTV pads apart from the pink set of trousers on the left.  The coat hangers and hooks were cut 3 times and glued together for strength. I coloured the bindings on the two pieces on the right with copics and the white frills on the green piece with a white paint pen.

The Congrats die is from Creative Expressions and the smaller piece underneath was created on the computer.

Photo of snippets, some before cutting and some after.  The lilac one was an afterthought so not in the photo.

FLORAL OR GINGHAM?

 Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting at As You Like It and we are asking you whether you prefer to use florals or gingham on your projects.  For me it is definitely floral.  I do use gingham now and again, but I have so many pretty floral papers and the majority of my cards are sent to the female gender so they are much more suitable for my needs.

For my card I have used papers from a First Edition pad and a LOTV image called Big Bouquet which has been coloured with copics.  I wanted something different from Happy Birthday for my sentiment and found this little apt one on a Simon Says set.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

with a voucher for the lucky winner.

ANYTHING GOES AT CHRISTMAS CRAFT

Morning Everyone,

This is my reminder post for Christmas Craft Creations where the theme this month is Anything Christmas Goes. 

For my card I have used a Simon Says Picture Book deer cut out with snippets of Desert Storm, Kraft and white cardstock.  The little scarf was also a snippet.  I have gently coloured him with copics and added glossy accents to his nose. Photo of the snippets, some before cutting some after -

GERANIUMS

Morning Everyone,

I thought I'd share this card seeing as geraniums are in season at the moment.   

The die set is from The Greetery and I've had it for quite a while and not used before.  It was one of those 'See it, want it, buy it, don't use it' purchases.  I am a bit of an impulsive buyer and have quite a few of those!

 I have coloured the petals with Picked Raspberry distress oxide (I have a few in the garden and this is one of the colours)  and the leaves with copics.  The plant pot is also from The Greetery and coloured with copics.

BEACH HOLIDAY OR NOT ?

 Morning Everyone,

Today is the start of  a new challenge over at As You Like It and we are asking which you prefer of either a beach holiday or any other type of vacation.

I like going to seaside resorts but am more of a poolside kind of person.  I'm not keen on sand getting everywhere and am perfectly happy on a sun lounger under an umbrella with a good book.

For my card I have used an old wooden Penny Black stamp coloured with copics and various oddments of papers from stash.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

with a voucher for the lucky winner.

SIMPLY CUTIES

Morning Everyone,

I hope you've had a good weekend. Today is the start of a new challenge at the Cutie Pie challenge and the theme is "Simply Cuties" so we're looking for cas and cute.

For my card I have used this cute Critter Crowd from Simon Says Stamp coloured with copics.  The sentiment comes with the set and I decided to colour this in rainbow colours. I didn't have any green card for the bottom layer so coloured the edges with a matching pen on a piece of white card.

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