Cuddlemonster

My wonderful friend and team mate Barbara from Forgotten Scraps is giving away her first digi free on her blog and to celebrate that she is also having a little challenge - which is to use her digi on the card. And you can win a real cute prize!

Oh, and apparently you're supposed to maker monsta noises while colouring. Did I? Well, I am NOT volunteering that information, suffice to say Miss Mischief and Sir Sprout were busily disassembling my stash while I was colouring...

It is a quick and simple card but I just HAD TO  play with that cutie.

The papers are from Bella Boulevard and I just chucked on first suitable embellies I found in my stash.

Copic colours:
Pink fur: RV29/25/34/42/11, N5/3
Teal fur parts: BG75/18/72/11, N9/5
Yellow bits: YR23/35/21/12, N5/3

Me and hubby are going for a little grown-up weekend tomorrow (kids will be dumped at nana's, ha! not that they mind...) so I'm off now to schedule my posts for tomorrow and Sunday!

Thanks for looking and happy crafting!
Hugs.

Piling it on

Do you have these moments when your mojo is somewhat sluggish so you dig out loads of different embellies that might work on your card and end up chucking most of them on because you just can't make up your mind?
Well, that's what's happened here.

I made this card for Sentimental Sundays where the challenge is Wings. I'm sure if you look closely you can spot quite a few, lol. The colouring is pure Copic job, with some added Stickles and Viva clear glitter liner.

The image is from A Day For Daisies and I really like it - except that the poor fairy seems to have just 7 fingers altogether. Oh well, mythical creatures and so on...

I won't even go into all those bits I've stuck on - just too many to list them really. Some of the things I've had in my stash forever, some bits I've got from my generous blogging friends as RAK.

I just used a single sheet of Websters Pages paper for background, didn't feel any need to enhance it with layering.

I'd like to enter these challenges:
2 Sisters (2 weeks) - gettin girly
Secret Crafter - tons of texture
Cute Card Thursday - use some old stash
Paper Take Weekly - Anything Goes- Optional: Lace

Thanks for looking and happy crafting!

Totally an awww-factor

Guess what, I'm a

I was lucky enough to win one of Card Patterns sketch challenges in December and here's my contribution to this weeks sketch challenge.

I used an adorable rubber stamp from Whimsy, it's called Love in a Bucket. I thgought I'd try to revive my mojo by trying a different medium so I dug out my long-forgotten Twinkling H2O-s. Well, that was a mistake! I was pulling my hair out trying to blend them, the mica powder that gives them a sparkle just kept pooling on me and it took me almost 3 hours to get the poorly result you can see here.

Anybody want to buy a hefty supply Twinkling H2O-s cheap, loadsa colours and most of them not even used? Cause I won't be using them again!! :( I've seen people achieving gorgeous results with them - just not me!

As to papers - well they're from Sassafrass and I really loved them while I cut into them. Once they were on the card I just went YUK.

So, the short version - not one of my proudest moments here, lol

I'll still enter some challenges though :)
Fuzzy Wuzzy (monthly) - anything goes
Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes
Stamping Scrapping Central - flowers

Thanks for looking and happy crafting!

Since I'm behind with everything...

I thought I'll try and get ahead with at least ONE card and make something for Fathers Day!! It's a digi day at Stamp Something and I'm using an image from A Day For Daisies.

The colouring is a combination of Copics and Prismas.I struggled a bit with colouring that image, not even sure why. I'll probably just have to find my colouring mojo again.

The bacground paper is from October Afternoon. The crown brads have been sitting in my stash forever and I just got that lush silk ribbon from wonderful Ann who was kind enough to flog off some of her abundance.

Everything is matted on kraft card and then paper pierced. It's a very simple card but I must say I like it. Hopefully hubby will too.

The challenges:
Cute Card Thursday - use some old stash
Moving Along With The Times (3 entries) – use old stash along with new stash
Paper Play (2 entries) – clean and simple
Bunny Zoe's Crafts (2nd monday) - Sparkle and shine
Paper Sundaes (3 entries) - Something New
Pile It On - Brand spanking new

Thanks for looking and happy crafting!!
