Arty Girlz - chocolate

The challenge on the Arty Girlz blog this week is

'Make something that includes chocolate! Chocolate coloured paper, ribbons, flowers, chocolate smelling embossing powder. A chocolate cake perhaps! The only other condition is that it HAS to include only one other colour (oh ok I'll let you have white too then lol)'


I chose aqua blue to go with the chocolate coloured cardstock. The image is a Magnolia stamp, coloured with Supracolour Soft watercolour pencils. The sentiment is created from brown alphabet rubons, the ribbon, flowers and brad are from my stash. The patterned paper is from the K&Co Bailey mat pad.

My Time to Craft - sparkle!

If you are a regular visitor, you've probably gathered that my Stickles glitter glue is never far away... so when I saw this weeks 'Sparkle' challenge on the My Time to Craft blog, I thought it was just perfect!


The background papers are from the Belle range, by Amy Butler for K & Co. The image is from Pink Petticoat and the bath bubbles are smothered in sparkly Stickles!! I also added some diamante sparkle to the flower centres. I love this girly card :)

Tilda & Co - template challenge

This week on the Tilda & Co blog, instead of a theme we have a template challenge!


The patterned paper is 'Weak in The Knees' by Imaginisce and I have used a Magnolia stamp for the image. Flowers, ribbon and brads from my stash - the 'congratulations' rub on is by Pebbles Inc.

My Paper World - sketch 7

I found a super card sketch challenge while I was surfing around (as you do!) The sketches on My Paper World are lovely and clear and there are loads of example cards to inspire you.


As I am trying to make a few Christmas cards each month, I thought I'd use the sketch for this card. The image is from Pink Petticoat, coloured with watercolour pencils - the papers are by Imaginisce. I used a round greetings stamp by Stamps Away and added some sparkle with Stickles glitter glue. This was a super sketch to work with, I'll definitely be using it again!

Quotes...

I just love this card that I did for the challenge over on My time to Craft. This week it is 'Quotes and Sayings'. Papers are 'Imaginisce Loves Me' - 'week at the knees' and 'so happy together'. The quote used is one of the new Daisy Bucket clear stamps available from The Craft Emporium. Image is a Magnolia stamp.

Edges...

The new challenge over on Scrummy Stash Cafe is decorative edges. For this I ripped the bottom edges under my image and used an old slot punch to thread through some ribbon. Image is one given to me by a friend and papers are K&Co Bailey.

Doodling!!

I have to say.. doodling is not one of my fave things to do... but I lately with doing all these cards I have really got to like it.

The challenge on ArtyGirls is doodling. I can only doodle in straight lines... nothing fancy, unless the fancy is already there! Papers - K&Co Amy Butler, sentiment stamp - woodware mixed greetings and image - Pink Petticoat.
