Christmas Card Challenge DT card

Hello........hope you are all having a good week end.

As it's Sunday we have a new challenge starting over at the Christmas Card Challenge Blog, and this week we have a colour challenge.

I have used a Penny Black stamp for my card and coloured it with promarkers.  I then cut across the bottom of my card so that the branch was just along the bottom. I added a little strip of black card and then some little snippets of paper from my scrap paper draw.  I used a die namics stitched rectangle and then a scalloped rectangle in pink card.

The sentiment is from a Clearly Besotted set.

I added some glamour dust to the robin's hat. 

Do visit the challenge blog and see what the rest of the wonderful DT have created for your inspiration.

Birthday Wishes

I thought I would share with you all another card using some card that I created, using bursho's and some starch and my little balloon die, that I used on my previous card.

I used the negative die cut for my base and placed a small snippet of blue card behind, The birthday sentiment is from Stampin up Petite Pairs, and I added some sequins for decoration.

If you would like to purchase any stampin up products please feel free to email me.

Hello ...............

What a horrible day here in the UK yesterday was!  It was so damp and miserable I thought I might have to put some heating on in the house, hard to believe that a couple of weeks ago we had a heatwave.........

Onto my card, 

This card originaly started out with just the card base and my balloon but the sentiment was not straight so i thought I would add the stitched rectangle to hide that mistake, and then guess what I stamped onto the rectangle and it was smudged!!!!! I nearly gave up and binned it but then cut out the little banner and stamped my sentiment onto that.

I cut my balloon out of a snippet of some water coloured card that I made using Brushos and I had a little left that I was going to put in the bin until I saw the challenge over at Less is More which this week is to use snippets.

I used a glitter pen to highlight the balloon before mounting onto foam pads.  The sentiment is an old Kaiser craft stamp.

I am entering this card into the following challenge

Less is More - snippets

and as I have used snippets on my card I am entering this into the current challenge over at

Christmas Card Challenge 34

Hello and welcome to a new challenge at Christmas Card Challenge.

This week is a nice and easy anything goes.

I have used a clear stamp from Penny Black jolly friends set.  I stamped my image onto watercolour  card and used Distress inks to colour.

A little glamour dust was added to the tree, and then I outlined the image in blue.

The sentiment is from LOTV and I have heat embossed in silver.

Do pop over to the blog and see what the rest of the DT have created.

Thank You

Good evening..........

I have a card to share with you using a stamp set from Stampin Up, I used this last week on a technique class and really love how versatile the stamp and the background stamp are.

I have also used my Brusho's that I purchased a while ago and have not had much time to practice or play with them, but I was determined to have a go at Kyle's technique using starch which you can find HERE under her video tutorials.  

These little pots of powder are great but very messy!!! (note to self to cover desk better)

For my card I stamped my flower with versamark ink onto my dry card and then heat embossed in white before cutting it out.

I stamped the background using memento Summer Sky ink and then popped the flower onto my card using some foam pads.

I added a little blue flower to the inside of my card.

I am entering this card into the current challenges over at Happy Little Stamper

beside the seaside

This weeks challenge at Less is More is Life's a beach,

For my card I used a digi image from Pink petticoat and coloured with pencils.  

It was nearly a one layer card but I decided to put the middle beach hut on some foam pads!

The sentiment is part of the collection

Christmas Card Challenge 33

Good morning - well those two weeks certainly went by quick, doesn't seem five minuets since the last DT post!!

Its time for a new challenge at Christmas Card Challenges and this week we have a photo challenge for you.

This is my take on the photo

I have used a digi image from Funky Kits called warm winter wishes, I just love these 2 adorable little penguins snuggled together in the scarf and I used it lots last year and I think I will be using it again this Christmas.

I coloured the image in Promarkers and added some glamour dust to the hat before fussy cutting out.

I added a snow drift from a spellbinders scalloped borders die and gave them a bit of the glamour dust treatment also.

The sentiment is from a Lili of the Valley Christmas set.

I popped the image up with some foam pads.
