Something a little bit different....

Hello there! Happy Saturday!

I hope you are well and had a good week! Mine has been soooo busy, but at least its the weekend now. I have my best friend Becca and my sister visiting me today...I can't wait to see them to catch up and have a bit of girlie time. There will be lots of food and giggles...and some wine tasting!

We have a new challenge for you this week at My Time to Craft which is something I don't really experiment with...we'd like to see some decoupage on your creation this week! I have to admit I did struggle with this a little...I know the principal...I'm just not very neat!!

 

I have really let the decoupage do the speaking on this card...I've gone with a blue colour combo as this seemed to match my image quite nicely....but I decided aganist any sentiment or any other embellishment.

 

The image is printed in a lot more layers than I have used....I only went for three layers in the end as I found it very fiddly....but I am still pleased with the result.

Something a little bit cute....

Hello there...yes its me...back again!

Instead of going to bed like a good girl last night, I decided to make another card! Hee, hee!! I do love it when the crafting bug bites!

I have a confession to make...I'm a tad bit silly and I read the Cupcake Craft Challenge this week as a grey and lilac colour combo challenge....probably because I love lilac and purple so much! So off I went and made the cup of tea card yesterday in perfect lilac and yellow...then I went to link it up at Cupcake and guess what....I'd got the colours wrong...well at least one of them! The challenge is in fact yellow and grey!! I still don't know how I confused grey and purple!!

Anway, here sporting the correct colours is my card for today.....

 

Now I'm not sure what it is about this card, but I am really pleased with it. I'm not sure if its that super cute birdie image....or the gorgeous papers or the fab colour combo (why have I never used yellow and grey together before??). But I really love this card!

 

I've coloured my image with my Promarkers and I've been trying to experiement more with shading and using the pens properly. I'm quite pleased with how Mr Birdie has turned out. I've used a plain yellow and plain grey paper, as well as two gorgeous patterened papers for my background. My sentiment is stamped.

 

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

A bit lovey dovey!

Hello there! Happy Thursday!

I hope you are keeping well! Well, I've had such a busy week so far....I am involved with a big new project at work which is very exciting, but also quite full on...I can't wait until the weekend!

So in order to destress a little this evening, I decided it was time to do some crafting!

There is a fab new sketch to play with at Sweet Sketch Wednesday this week....

 

 

Isn't it cute??

 

 To go with such a cute sketch and all the fab Valentine inspired challenges that are around at the moment I decided to go with a Valentine's themed card......

 

 

Hmmm...now I'm not entirely sure about this card...I think its the colour combo...I think the outside border needed to be a darker purple colour. But I didn't have any large sheets of dark purple paper and so that is actually coloured with my Promarkers...and it didn't come out as dark as I thought it would! However, I think I get Brownie Points for being creative! Hee, hee!!

 

I've stamped my image and cute sentiment, and coloured the image with my Promarkers. I have cut the large heart out of paper and then punched the smaller hearts. I have added a little sparkle to them with my Stickles.

 

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

More love!!

Told you love was all around!! Hee, hee....I'm back with today's challenge from My Time to Craft...which happens to be "love is in the air".

Now this can be a valentine's card...or a wedding card...or an anniversary card....in fact it can be any card that celebrates love!

Now, if you popped by earlier you'll know that I've been poorly this week and its really messed my week up...even causing me to get me DT cards confused! Well I think this probably shows in my card today.....

 

Its a bit simplistic I'm afriad and quite similar to last week's card too!

 

I've stamped my sentiment and the gorgeous glass image. I've coloured some of the image with my Promarkers and added a little sparkle with my Stickles. I then took my pen for a walk around the edge of the card...and added some tinney tiny hearts!

Love is all around!

Hello there...can you believe January has flown by already...now we're in the month of luurrve!! Yes, Valentine's Day is just around the corner!

In celebration of this lovely month we have a "love is all around" challenge for you over at Sweet Stampin this week!

I've been rather poorly again this week...my body seems to love picking up whatever the latest bug is!! This led to a severe lack of crafting this week...and a lot of confusion as I managed to get my DT challenges mixed up!! Whoops!!

Here is the correct card....

 

Its girlie...its got cupcakes....its very me!!

 

I've used a plain pink and pretty cake image backing paper, along with a mini doily. On top of the doily I have added my cupcake image...which I have coloured with my Promarkers...and added a little sparkle with my Stickles. I've added my computer generated sentiment and some cute heart pins.
