The stamp is by Great Impressions which I have stamped in Versamark and then embossed in gold. The DP and cardstock are from my stash - I just love the embossed white card - and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Sketch Saturday #136; Corrosive Challenge #97; Pile It On #1

Evening Everyone. I don't know about anyone else but we've been snowed in again today, so I took advantage and got crafting. Gotta strike while the iron's hot, or at least while the Mojo is around, lol.

I actually made 3 cards today but this is the one I'm uploading and I've done this using the current sketch from the Sketch Saturday Challenge Blog. I'm also entering it into the Corrosive Challenge which is asking for purple and yellow; and finally Pile It On which is asking for Brand Spankin' New. That happens to be my new nesties from Crafty Emma's Store.

The CS and DP are all 'seconds' from the Kanban shop, and I've slightly distressed the edges with Distress Ink in Milled Lavender. The cat is by PSX and the pawprints were on a plate which was given to me by the lovely Dotpat in Hartlepool. BTW I've used versafine vintage sepia to stamp the images.

I hope you like it and the challenge links are below, x

Just Magnolia #87; Paper Sundaes #50; Tuesday Morning Sketches

Good Evening Bloggers. I'm a bit late with this one but I'm still getting back into the crafting mode.
Anyway, I'm entering this into the latest Just Magnolia Challenge which is Anything Goes and using the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge as my template. This is a new challenge for me. I also found that Paper Sundaes were asking us to use something new and I have just received a new set of Nesties (scalloped circles) from Crafty Emmas Store, so it gave me a good opportunity to try them out.

I've coloured Tilda with copics as follows:-
E00, 21, 93
Y21, 26, 28
RV21, 23, 25
BG10, 15
G00

The DP is by MME and the flowers are by Papermania. The pearls are from The Hobby House.

Crafts & Me #20 - Anything Goes

 Hey! Ho! I may be back in blogland but now my computer is paying silly beggars and not allowing me to resize and crop my piccies, although this is intermittently. So, apologies but this is the best you're gonna get.

I've sent this to a fellow blogger who has a birthday today so I couldn't upload it before, but I thought it was a cutie to enter for the current Crafts & Me Challenge which is Anything Goes.

I've coloured the Elisabeth Bell image with copics, although I didn't keep a note of the numbers, sorry. The DP are by Basic Grey - Porcelain.

I hope you like it and the challenge link is below, x

Papertake Weekly; Friday Sketchers #135

Now don't get too excited. I know I've been away for ages and therefore perhaps its a bit of a shock to see 2 uploads in one day but I was in the mood for crafting, the mojo appeared (from where, goodness knows), and we're going to visit family tomorrow. I also wanted to get this made to pop in the post to a friend to thank them for a lovely Christmas pressie.

I've used the current Friday Sketchers sketch as my format inspiration and have incorporate the Papertake Weekly Challenge which is 'Be Thankful'.

The stamp is another new one of mine by Belles n Whistles called Li'l Miss Poppy which I have coloured with the following copics:-

R00, 02, 05, 08

G21

Y21

W1, 3, 5 and blender

E00, 21, 31, 33, 35, 37, 93

The DP are Basic Grey - Porcelain

Happy New Year and Lili of the Valley #78 - New Beginnings

Happy New Year Everyone.

This cute little image is from Lili of the Valley and I had bought it for my Christmas cards but unfortunately with all my family traumas forgot all about it so I thought why not use it for a New Year card.

I've journalled in the top corner in an attempt to explain my choice of stamp, lol

I'm entering this into the current Lili of the Valley challenge which is New Beginnings. Appropriate in more ways than one for me.

I've used copics to colour as follows :-

C1, 3, 5, 7, 8

R20, 22, 24, 27, 29

W1, 3, 5 and blender

E21, 33 37

The background paper is from some leftover Basic Grey.
