Hi everyone, this is for CAS Colours and Sketches #7 which is a colour challenge:

CAS-ology and Make My Monday

Hi everyone, have you ever started to make a card and then decided its all wrong and had to begin again? I made a flower using some blue papers which I was quite pleased with and then found after trying several different shades of blue that I didn't have the right colour ink for the sentiment.

I've made this card for CAS-ology week #27 - BLUE , as a second entry at Make My Monday to use DIES/PUNCHES, and as a second design team card for Addicted to CAS - EMBOSSING.

Dies and punches used: Paula Pascual Sizzix dies and stamps set to make the flower, 2 inch circle punch and corner rounder punch.

Thank you for stopping by and for your lovely comments.

Speedy Fox challenge 120

Hi everyone, Speedy Fox & Friends have a challenge this week to make a card with DOTS.

I made my background by inking with a few colours through different masks (including dots) and stamped with Sepia archival.

The red panel was made by embossing a piece of Coredinations card with the Sizzix Embossing Boutique with a Tim Holtz embossing folder.

I stamped the other Coredinations panel with stamps from the Vintage Blue stamp set by Glitz and added some dots with white distress stain and the dotty mask, toned down with some distress ink.

Less Is More week 78 (#2)

Hi all, here is another (second) card which I would like to enter in the Less Is More challenge this week (see my last post for the sketch).

I made the border by running some paper through the Sizzix Embossing Boutique and adding some colour.

All papers are from the Chanteuse collection by Kaisercraft, sentiment stamp by Stampendous.

Addicted to Stamps Challenge 2

Hi everybody, this week's Addicted to Stamps blog challenge is Bingo Addict to follow the bingo card choosing three elements either diagonally, horizontally or vertically on the bingo card.

I have chosen STAMP, EMBOSS and BLUE.

I stamped the poppies (stamp by Stamp in the Hand) by inking them with markers and stamping onto white glossy card, adding a bit of background colour with a stipple brush and then mounted the panel onto a piece of blue card.

Embossed a piece of white card using the Sizzix and adding some colour with a little sponge, adding a diecut, a piece of stash paper and pearls.

All things grow with love!

"All things grow with love"

Hi everyone, Addicted to Stamps have a new challenge blog and this is the card I've made for challenge #1 "Mark your mark" to make a card using markers.

The pink and silver pieces have been embossed using the Sizzix Embossing Boutique and the silver foiled diecut is a Stackable by Hunkydory.

The flower and butterfly stamps are also by Hunkydory and coloured with Promarkers and I have used a little flower from the set to make a background.

Word stamp by TPC.

Speedy Fox and Friends challenge 112

Hi everybody, this is my card for the Speedy Fox and Friends challenge 112 to make something vintage (only just in time!).

The background paper is by Teresa Collins, I have used a Martha Stewart punch to punch around the image, the blue panel is a piece of Coredinations card embossed with a Darice folder and Sizzix Texture Boutique, stamps by Inkylicious and have used my new punches which both punch and emboss to make the flowers.

Less is More card 3

Hi everyone, this is my entry for the Less Is More week 69 challenge to make a card that is not a square or rectangle.

I used the Sizzix Texture boutique to emboss some white card, cut around a shape template (Craftwork Cards), adding a birthday message, touches of colour with a Promarker pen and some pearls.
