All White Festive Greetings!

Hello there - its me again, I am back with my second DT card today!

This time I have my card for our fab festive challenge over at My Time to Craft and this week we'd like to see your white on white Christmas cards. Now I know how much I struggle with WoW cards and so I was pleased to see that we're allowed coloured images on our cards....making it a bit easier!

I've used one of my favourite new digi stamps sending people warm winter wishes....

I have used a white card blank, which has been topped with some pretty embossed white card. Finally I printed my image and added a little colour with my Promarkers and a little sparkle with my Stickles. My sentiment has been produced on my laptop.

I'm pleased with how this WoW card turned out - simple but festive! For more inspiration pop by the My Time to Craft challenge blog and see all the gorgeous DT cards that have been created. We've got a short break ahead of us now.....our next challenge will go live in January.

Thanks for popping by today,

A very white Christmas....

Hello there!

Happy Hump day - we're half way through the week and also nearly half way through the month! Where does the time go?

This month we have a new challenge for you over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin.....I know I already have lots of my Christmas cards made, but hopefully this challenge will help add to your stash! Our theme this week is one that I struggle with quite a bit....we have a white on white challenge for you. You can either create a completely white Christmas card....or you can create a card with a white background and coloured image. If you go for the latter option, the only thing that can be coloured is your image.

I decided to go with this option.....

 

I have stamped my Christmas image and sentiment onto plain white card and coloured it with my Promarkers. I also added a little bit of sparkle with my Stickles. I then mounted this on some embossed white card, which was attached to my white card blank.

 

The reason I struggle with WoW challenges is because I really do love a splash of colour....in fact I love a bit more than just a splash! I find it quite difficult working with white papers....and I find it quite difficult to photograph the cards when they are finished too!

Back to School

Hello there peeps...hope you're all well and having a lovely weekend!

Can anyone else believe its nearly the end of August already?? Where has the summer gone?? So, its nearly time for the children to go back to school and for my Brownies to start meeting again! Although its nice to have six weeks away from Brownies, its  always lovely to see them again in September and hear what they've been up to over the summer.

Sooo....inspired by this time of year here is today's card....

 

I love this cute Sweet & Sassy digi image!

 

I've gone for a clean and simple look for this card, using different white papers and cards to create the layout. The image is coloured with my Promarkers and I've added a couple of pearls in the corner.

 

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

 

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - White on white

Always Crafting - kids

Simon Says Stamp - back to school

Something New....

....and for once I haven't bought it!

Happy Tuesday Folks.....don't you just love bank holiday Mondays...its already Tuesday evening! Woo hoo! Soooo...I was lucky enough to win a challenge recently and was awarded a $10 gift voucher at Digi Doodle....so a little shopping was in order! There was so much to choose from, but I finally decided on a selection of vintage style images.

As I was wandering aroung their shop, drooling over the images I thought I'd pop by the Digi Doodle challenge blog too and discovered that this week's challenge is "something new".....perfect for my new digi images!

This is quite a detailed image and I'd usually opt out of using my Promarkers when colouring an image like this, but tonight I decided to challenge myself and give it a go! I've coloured the pretty image with my Promarkers and then mounted it on white paper for a clean and simple white on white card.

I'm pleased that I tried out the Promarkers...the colouring isn't too bad...and practice makes perfect!

I'd also like to enter this card in the "white on white" challenge at Passion for Promarkers this week.

Pop by both challenge blogs to see all the gorgeous DT cards.

All White!

Hello there!

Hope you're well. Today is Saturday and so we have another challenge over at Sweet Stampin....and if I'm honest I found this challenge REALLY difficult!! The theme this week is "white on white"......so no colour please!

Making this card made me realise how much I enjoy using colour on my cards.....I really struggled to create a card that I liked....

I used a pretty sparkly vellum for the background and added a white punched border across the bottom, adding three punched flowers. I stamped my little sheep on white card, and added some grey faux stitching around the border. Finally I printed my sentiment on the computer.

I really hope this post reads ok.....I'm writing it on Friday evening....I've got Lorna and Becca around for a girlie evening.....and to be honest I'm a little distracted! There may have been lots of food eaten and may have been some bubbles drunk!!! So if this doesn't make sense I'm sorry!!

Thanks for popping by....please pop by the Sweet Stampin DT blogs to see some more white on white cards.
