ATSM - Sketch Challenge

Hi there everyone! We have a wonderful new challenge for you over at Addicted to Stamps and More! and this week we are providing you a sketch for your inspiration.

 

 

Here is my DT card -

 

 

I have used a Bugaboo digi for this card which has been printed onto blender paper and coloured in using my Touch Twin Markers.

 

The sentiment is from Paper Smooches and I have inked the two words individually so I could place them on top of one another.

 

I hope you will join us over at ATSM and join in our challenge. We have some really, really awesome changes coming soon and we can't wait to see what you think!

 

I would also like to enter my card into the following wonderful challenges -

Happy Birthday for Less is More and ABC Challenges

Yep, my second post for today as I feel that while I still have electricity I am going to keep on crafting!!

We are starting to flood a little now but not so that we would have to leave or anything. It is certainly the wind that is the most disconcerting. 

So instead of running for the hills, I decided to make a card for 

Less Is More - Sketch (which was right up my dark and rainy alley)

and the challenge at ABC Challenges is to make a birthday card.

I have used a stamp from my Growing Green set and have embossed the outline using Black powder. I have coloured the stamp in with my Real Red marker. The sentiment is from my Petite Pairs set and stamped with Real Red as well. I have added two tiny pearls either side of the sentiment  - I think they are cute ;)

Thanks so much for looking xx

Jingle Bells!

Happy Saturday!

I am like a child with ants in my pants today - today is the launch of my new challenge blog called Addicted to CAS so I am very excited and nervous. Watching the clock just doesn't make it go any quicker so I've sat down, put on a movie (we have a wicked storm coming through right now) and started to make a card.

This card is for 4 awesome challenges which gave me loads of inspiration. I combined the three as one was sketch, one was colour and one was theme. The last one is for the digi that I have used from Mo's Digital Pencils.

I love this digi - she is called "Jingle Bells". I particularly like these colours used with her too. I especially like the pooch that is singing along with her!

Here is the sketch I have used from ABC Challenges

The colour inspiration came from Annabelle Stamps

(the colours are a little hard to see - Avocado, Turquoise and Blossom)

Over at Just Add Ink, the ladies would like you to add MUSIC and at Mo's Digital Challenge they would like you use Wintery or Relaxing images.

I have used colours as close as I could for the colour challenge - I have coloured my image using Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink and Tempting Turquoise.

Thanks so much for looking and I hope to see you at Addicted to CAS this afternoon at 6pm AEST!

Layered Poinsettia

Hi again! I have just acquired a beautiful die set from Spellbinders. It's called 'Layered Poinsettia'. They are really nice and make for fantastic christmas card decorations.

I wanted to keep the Poinsettia's the main focus so I have simply embossed a panel of Very Vanilla with my Swiss dots folder and inked the sentiment (from Sassy Salutations) in Old Olive.

I have highlighted the Poinsettia's with a gelly roll pen, which is also new. It was a nice little surprise addition when I opened my parcel!!

Here is my card
