I'm tickled pink!!

There's going to be a new challenge blog in town!! Tickled Pink is kicking off a new challenge on Jan. 7th but until then there's a BIG candy on offer - there's 3 prizes and all of them utterly delicious!! Check it out HERE and don't forget to become a follower!

It's going to be so much fun!!

The blinkies aren't ready yet but I thought I'd celebrate with a card!

Meet Lil Lolita Lilith!!! She is coloured with Prismacolour pencils on kraft card which I got this morning from Dorcas. Yeah. You're right. I HAD TO make a card right away. This Prismacolour craze of mine WILL eventually pass, you'll just need to be very, very patient...lol

The papers are from Cosmo Cricket Wanted pad which is utterly delicious. I dabbed everything in sight with glittery texture paint I found in my drawer while looking for cream acrylic paint which I KNOW I have but STILL haven't found. I'm organized like that.

I dug out some old Primas and sprayed them with glimmer mist. Then I added loadsa lace and voila - a card!!!

Maybe it doesn't look sentimental..

...but this card is for Sentimental Sundays where the challenge is a recipe:
3 Patterned papers
3 Buttons
Ribbon

My hubby had his 40th birthday this week and that was what I made this card for. The image is SO him - minus beer gut, wee doggie and iPOD, lol. He's runs about 10-12 miles every other day. Wish I had his will power (cue a little sad look at my sizeable behind).

The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil, coloured with Copics and little background shading with Prismacolor pencils.

The papers are by Pink Paislee, sentiment is computer-generated by meself. I don't know where I got those buttons from but they're real cool. AND I managed to sneak some baker's twine on the card too - yay me!!

I would like to enter following challenges:

Real cozy kitten

Now I am really cracking on these Christmas cards, boy the posting dates are getting dangerously close!

This little card uses Whimsy image called Snow Kitty. It's drawn by Melissa Jenkins whose art I happen to really-really-really like.

The colouring is another result of my latest Prismacolour-on-brown-card-craze. It's a dry blending again, a tiny bit of mineral spirit was used on background but that's it.

I really like the soft effect of pencils and the detail you can go into. It won't make me to hang up my Copics but still serves as a lovely variety. Given that I have an attention span of a gold fish, variety is ESSENTIAL, lol

Oh, and see those snowflakes? They're cut with Whimsy snowflake die called Winter's Jewel I got this week, boy is it gorgeous or what!! i couldn't resist resting the image on a lacy bed of snowflakes.

The sentiment is from Whimsy Winter Letter Seals set. My favorite, as you might have noticed! The papers are from MME.

I would like to enter following challenges:

Another dose of winter cuteness

Hi all, it's time for a new Phindy's Challenge again! The theme is METAL this week - so all you need to do is to use metal and Phindy's image on your card!

The image you see on my card is one of the Christmas Cuties called Miss Chrissy Tree. I've been itching to play with her for a while - I just think her so fun and whimsical!

The colouring is done with Copic markers and some extra shadowing added with Prismacolor pencils.

For a metal I've used a brads, flower centers, a tree charm, chain, flourishes and filigree corners. Most of them were silver but I forced them to gold with Copic marker (y17).

The papers are from Basic Grey Jovial pad - love the colours! The flowers are cut from the same pad with Marianne's dies and then shaped.

I would love to enter following challenges:
ABC Christmas (2 weeks) - CHRISTMAS and x is for xmas
Crafty Creations - christmas 
Freshly Brewed - winter or christmas
Little Red Wagon - use basic grey products 
Artful Inkables (2 weeks) - die cuts and punches

There you go - colour combo gone BAD

It's a new challenge day today at 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog and the theme is pretty straightforward - Non-traditional Christmas Colours. Which generally means no red, green, gold.

Could someone explain, please then how I got really muddled considering and most of my Christmas cards never use traditional colours??? And suddenly, when the CHALLENGE is not use any - shock, panic, horror! And a total mess of a card, of course!!

The image is a Penny Black Slapstick stamp called Winter Swing.

I've been playing with Prismacolor pencils lately, moving on from mineral spirit or baby oil to pretty much using them as Copics, just layering and blending with lighter colours. I have REALLY tried to get my hands on kraft card because I adore the results Dorcas achieves on it but no luck so far, so I'm using a cheap tan slightly textured cardstock from Tesco. Those from States - it's like Target or CostCo.

I very gently sponged all the edges with Memento Rose Bud ink and distressed slightly with distress tool. Did some quick fake stitching with white gel pen.

The golden pearl swirl is made with Viva Pearl pen. I tape acetate on a sheet of swirly rubons, make a swirl, leave it to dry overnight (it makes sense to make more than one) and then cut out. This way, if you go wrong you won't have to smear the card, just wipe the acetate clean and start again :)

I would like to enter this card into following challenges:
Gingerloft (2 weeks) - great outdoors
Scrappy Frogs (3 weeks) - christmas 
Crafty Emma - lovely lace
Ellephantastic (2 weeks, 1 entry) - christmas or butterfly
Stamp, Scrap & Doodle - no flowers 
Fairy Fun Fridays (2 weeks) - buttons and bows 
Delightful Challenges - winter weather 
Pals Paper Arts - ribbon or fabric 

Thanks for looking and happy crafting!

OK, so maybe I'm NOT the most organized person in the world...

I've known for a month what the theme for Make It Crafty For Fun challenge is - and of course I made it pretty much last minute, panting. Well, maybe not last minute - the minute before last minute. Yeah. That's better. And I know that cause I'm going to show you another card later today and THAT was last minute.

I blame global warming. Gotta blame something. Totally won't admit that I've been mojoless and lazy. Nope.

Anyway, the theme for the challenge is to make Anything But A Card. Yeah. So I did.

I heard you! Yes you, laughing hysterically, pointing at me! I hope for your sake it's because my creation is hilarious, not that you failed to identify a SHADOW BOX and mistakenly took it for a card.

Tut-tut! Clearly a SHADOW BOX, see, thanks to my crappy photography skills it even has some pretty sharp shadows. No mistake can be made. It's not me, it's you.

Now that I have it off my chest, I thought I'll briefly mention some card...erm shadow box details too. Images are called Aussie Santa and Gingerbread House. The colouring is pure Copic job, nothing added. Except about a bucketful of Glamour Dust and some Viva Pearl pen. And no, I didn't write anything down, I was too late making it so just pushed myself to actually get it done, lol

Because there were two strong images I chose to have a very clean design - well, for me anyway. The felt frame is cut with Spellbinders and I just got those cool border dies from MFT so had to play, obviously. As a result - a lot of felt borders.

And it wouldn't have been my c...shadow box unless there was some baker's twine involved. Or twill tape. Or both.

So there, that's all the entertainment for now. I'd like to enter some challenges though!!

Peachy dreams

I don't have a design team card this Sunday for Sentimental Sundays. The theme is Thankful there - if you have a moment, head over, the DT samples are just exceptional and very diverse!!

Our neighbours had their little girl christened this weekend and I had to face one of my big cardmaking fears (some of which include wedding, anniversary, christening and shaped cards).

I didn't want to make a traditional white or pink card so I went with warm peachy and aqua tones instead. The image is from LOTV and papers from Sassafras Lass.

The colouring is pure Copic Markers and then I dipped on liberal sprinklings of glamour dust, some Frosted Lace Stickles and covered the window in clear glaze. Verry shparkly....

I used some of my favorite laces from Wild Orchid Crafts and gorgeous peachy ribbon I got from Ebay from all the places!!

And then I dumped on loadsa peachy pink pearls. I MIGHT admit that I went a bit overboard with these. Very reluctantly, mind you! :P

I'd like to enter these challenges:
Pink Elephant - Sketch

Hope those pressies contain some stash...or juicy bones!

OK, so the challenge at Stamp Something is Thankful Somethings. And I can think of a lot of things under the Christmas tree our family can be thankful of! lol

The stamp is from Whimsy stamps and it's called Santa's Puppy Helper. And the sentiment is from Winter Seals combined with text from MFT. Told you, you're going to see that set a lot!!

And guess what - the papers are from Whimsy as well!!! I just got these in mail and couldn't wait to use them!! lol This set is called Very Merry. Such vibrant colours and beautiful patterns.

The image was coloured with Distress inks. I've been having fun with them lately :)

Things I miss...

I really long for real winters here in Ireland. Proper snow and all. Last winter we had what I would call a little bit of snow and the whole country almost came to halt, lol

This card combines two challenges - STAMPIN' FOR THE WEEKEND\: Winter Projects and PHINDY'S CHALLENGE\: The Sketch.

I really love that lil' kid from Phindy's Winter Cuties. I was about the same age waddling around on the skis. Not that I was ever much good at it :)

The colouring is pure Copics with the exception of the chalk on background. Real fast and easy way to create a soft backdrop for the image.

The sentiment stamp is from Whimsy Winter Seals. Real mad about them, so versatile.

The papers are new Basic Grey Marjolaine pad. funny, first I got them I wasn't taken with them at all but once you combine the papers the patterns just SING together. I can see it becoming one of my go-to pads.

COPIC COLOURS:
PANYTS< HAT< SCARF: BG78/75/72/11/10, T7/5/3
Jumper: YG:13/25/21/20/91, T5/3/1/1

I'm visiting...

Las week I was lucky enough to win a challenge at Delightful Challenges. That means I have an honour to be their guest designer this week!

I got to pick a lovely image to play with from Digital Delights and used Mercy's fab sketch to put the card together.

The papers are from OA and that cute saddle stitched ribbon I got from wonderful Mina. Background is embossed with Fiskars texture plate. The wooden stars are from Studio Calico.

A dream in sepia and white...

These were the words circling in my head when I saw the challenge theme CHILDHOOD at Sentimental Sundays.

The image is from A Day For Daisies and I coloured it with Copic markers. I TRIED to keep it very minimalistic and not go overboard with shadowing. Used the whole range of E40-ies on clothes and hair and E50/51/53 for skin. Plus R00/01 for cheeks, very sparingly.

There's not a strip of designer paper involved, just cheap tan cardstock from Tesco, Sizzix texture plate, Cuttlebug 5x7 folder and loads of white ink.

The borders and flowers are my new purchase - Stempelglede grunge stamps. I had been coveting these for a long time!!

Big flower I made myself from tulle ribbon and flourishes are Marianne's dies.

The embossing punch is from Fiskars. I find these work better with slightly thinner cardstock and paper but the designs are lovely. Been neglecting them since I got MS punches which cut better.

And look - no baker's twine!! Shocking!!

Christmas Is Coming - well, to Phindy's Challenges anyway!

Yup, you got it right, Christmas Is Coming is a theme for next week at Phindy's Challenges.

But I didn't have quite the right jingle-bell mood while I started making this card so I kinda cheated and made a wintery card that COULD be given for Christmas too. The name of that image is Let's Play and it's one of Phindy's "older" winter images. :)

I used Copic markers for colouring, colours are listed further on.

The papers are from Basic Grey, all sponged with Antique Linen. I wanted a soft but structured look so went for double matting in muted tones.

The embossing punch I've used I found in my punch box. It's a lovely pattern but not really good for heavier cardstock - luckily the tan one I used was not too thick.

The sentiment is from a Whimsy Stamps new release, the set is called Winter Seals and it's one of my all-time favorites!

Copic Colours:
Dog: E39/35/53, YR24, W3/1/0
Dog coat: YG91/93/45, G45/40
Skin: E21/11/00/000, W3/1/0

Scarf, hat, boots: RV99/95/93/91/25, T3/1/0

Thankful Fairy Dust

 There's always something to be grateful for. For example - at the moment I am pitifully thankful that Beloved is reading kids the bedtime story and I was able to make myself a nice hefty mug of frothy latte. Curled up in an armchair with my laptop and typing away.

The challenge for next two weeks at 7 Kids College Fund Challenge is a project to say "thank you". As long as you use a stamp from 7KCF you'll be free to create whatever you wish. And the choice is wide - Magnolias, Kraftin Kimmies, Penny Black, Stampavie, C.C. Designs, Whiff of Joy - I could just keep counting!

And you better try to play along because a prize is 75.- USD voucher for 7KCF store this time. Just THINK of all the goodness you can buy with THAT!!

 My card today is featuring a sweet Tilda blowing fairy dust. She is from Fairytale collection - which  happen to LOVE!!

Colouring is all Copics - I made a mistake with that because she was stamped on softer-than-usual card stock and I fought a lot of bleeding. If you want to use a similar technique that requires a lot of soaking of the paper, you will be better off with Xpress-It cardstock or something alike.

I added a bit of Stickles to the image and kept the card pretty simple. The papers are from Cosmo Cricket Material Girl 6x6 pad, all sponged with Scattered Straw and Pumice Stone distress inks. A nice gingham bow, button, twine and some dew drops. Simple and sweet. And of course took me ages.

Copic Colours
Skin: E000/00/21/13, W5/3/1, R00/01/
Hair: E79/77/75/71/70, 0
Clothes:G20, YG03/25/63, W5/3/1/00, 0
Lace:Y26/23/21

Oh, and I cannot NOT to mention that 7KCF is now carrying one of my big favorites - October Afternoon papers!!!  And there's new High Hopes stamps in the store - you get 10% off ALL High Hopes stamps with a code HOPES10!

Sneaky-sneaky-sneaky...

Hello and happy Monday!!

It's getting really cold and dark here - and wet. And let me tell you a little secret - I love it! I am actually the kind of freak who likes dark evenings and strong winds and even November storms that will soon be upon us.

And speaking about winter - Whimsy Stamps has a new rubber stamps coming out on Friday!!

It's another amazing release - I am totally honest saying that in my opinion Whimsy keeps getting better and better!

Today I have a little sneak peak for you - I used a snowman stamp from Melissa Jenkins and the sentiment is from Ann Vento's Winter Seals set. You will be seeing that set A LOT!!!

I coloured with Distress Inks and created snow with glass glitter. Then I dotted white Sakura Glaze pen on image to create an effect of falling snow. I think it looks kinda nice.

The papers are from Papermania (sponged with Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain distress inks), ribbon from my stash. A dash of gems, Marianne's swirl and some dew drops - and the card is ready!

I would like to enter following challenges:
Crafty Calendar (monthly) - winter
One Stitch At A Time - winter wonderland
Paper Sundaes (3 entries) - let it snow
Allsorts - christmas

I am now officially cool - and a totally non-sentimental card for Sentimental Sundays

Did you notice my new cool blog design?? Did you? DID YOU??? Aw come on, surely you didn't miss it!! I even have my own blinkie now - yeah, I know. I'm totally "with it"!

You see, couple of days ago I stumbled onto Laura's blog and was oohhing and aahhing over her design. We got talking and she - a total angel that she is - gave my blog a make-over! I love it to bits - it's so ME!!

I still need to do some tidying up and sort out the pages but boy do I like the look of my blog now!!! Thank you so much, Laura!!!

Oh, and I have a card for you too!! We have a sketch this week at Sentimental Sundays. Our own wonderful Dorcas designed it (have you SEEN her colouring - pure wow-factor) and she should definitely make them more often. Real good working layout.

I won some images from Dew Drop Craftz recently and wanted to play with them. It's my first time colouring manga style image but I was more so experimenting with a dramatic look. Got a bit carried away with the shadows on her face but hey. So what that she looks as if she has a stubble!? Artistic liberties and so on...

The colouring is done with Copics and sponging with Distress Inks (Vintage Photo).

Papers are from DCWV and the handmade paper and tickets I got in a RAK from wonderful Tara - where would I be without my friends!!!

The button is from my stash an there's also baker's twine involved. Yeah. That stuff makes me happy. Consequently you see loads of it on my cards...

Copic Colours:
Scarf: E27/25/34/21/41, T5/3/1
Fur:E15/35/31/30, W3/5
Glasses: E77/19/39/97/99, E37/35/31, W9/7/5/3
skin, face: E53/51/50/000/13, E44/42/40
Hair: E79/77/74/71/41

Bright moment in near-winter

Girls, isn't that baby fairy just adorable!! My friend needed a baby card, I know it's not a traditional sort of an image for a new baba but I just could not resist!! AND I was able to make the card using this weeks sketch at Stamp Something!!

Now, I know I went a bit mad with vegetation here. You see, I used to be into paper flowers big time and as a result have PILES of them. Which I hardly touch nowadays. So I felt like "using something up", you know, the guilt thing. Didn't even scratch the surface though but the card looks like a florists bin after a long day.

Oh well.

The image is coloured with Copic markers and yes, you guessed it, I lost the list I wrote down. Anybody want to give me a notebook? No?

The papers are from Cosmo Cricket Togetherness pad (lovelovelove) and everything is hand stitched with double thread. Every time I do that I swear "never more" but I do love the texture so.

Don't ask me where those flowers are from. There's a very ...erm.. eclectic mix of stuff from different companies.

I would love to enter following challenges:
Delightful Challenges - stitching
Crafty Creations - fables and fairytales
Little Red Wagon - use red 
Flutter By Wednesday - open theme
A Spoonful Of Sugar - lots of embellishments 
Dancing in pajamas - girls rule

Card for TWO challenges

Hi from me again! :)

I have been a bit cheeky again and combined 2 challenges in one card:
Stampin' For The Weekend - sketch
and
Phindy's Place - Recipe: 3-2-1

It's a simple recipe but I messed it up anyway - my idea was to use 3 designer papers, two types of embellies and one image. Now that I'm looking at it I actually used 4 papers - pretend you don't notice, OK?!

The image is one of Phindy's teens and I think he looks totally cool! It's actually a get well card that hasn't reached the destination yet but I'm pretty sure the lad who's gonna get it is NOT among regular readers of my blog!! lol

The papers are from Basic Grey Oliver collection.

The image is coloured with Copic markers. I have been experimenting with creating folds and texture of clothing. If I have failed miserably, don't tell me, OK! lol I spent AGES colouring his trousers alone!

Copic colours I used:
Skin: E02/01/000/11/13
Hair: E49/47/37//27/42
Top: C5/3/1/00, 0
Trousers:YG91/93/95/97/99, BG93, T7/5/3/1/00
Bag: Y28/26/23/38, E08, W7/5/3
Shoes: E79/77/74/71/70
Shadow: W9/7/5/3/1/0
