Congratulations...

 

  Morning folks...

This is a scheduled post, hopefully it posts...I'm away on holiday up north again.  Fingers crossed the weather will be better this time and I manage to get my boat trip...one of these days I will see an orca.  Last week I was on my wee puffin trip and got some fabulous photos...well I think they are..here's a couple of my favourites;

Aren't they just the cutest!!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme is "anything but a birthday".  

So I had a card to make for my daughters sister in law, it's her baby shower next week...hope this is ok as I couldn't find a baby shower sentiment.

 The stamp is from Stamping Bella, I coloured with copics, stamped up the words and cut and layered them, and finished with some sequins.

Hope you like it.

Merry Christmas...

 Morning folks...

I can't believe how fast this year is going in so far...and almost time for my first wee break up north this year.  I cannot wait, it's seems like forever since we have been on holiday, anyway not long to go. I am hoping to catch some good photos of the local Moray wildlife...it's just amazing but before that it's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme is "Christmas in April".  

I've actually had this stamp for a couple of years I think and yep..never been used so thought it would be perfect for this challenge.

I inked up with archival ink and coloured with derwent pencils, added the sentiment and a couple of enamel dots...kept it simple!

Hope you like it.

Happy Autumn...

 

Morning folks,

It's time for our mid month post but before I go on to tell you about our challenge this month, we have decided to make some changes.  Although the Stamping Sensations Challenge blog is a stamping challenge, but with so many new products constantly popping up and we all want to try new stuff.  We have decided to relax the rules and now only require at least one stamped element on your entry...and that one element can be the sentiment.

I hope that means good news for everyone and you want to join in with our challenges going forward.

The theme this month continues to be anything goes with the option of "Autumn".

This month we have these two prizes from AALL and Create up for grabs.

 

For my card I stamped up this little stamp with memento ink and coloured with copics...I must use them more!  I added a bit more depth by using some prismacolours.  I added the sentiment and some doodles to finish.

Pop over and check out the fabulous makes from my teamies... Stamping Sensations Challenge Blog.

Viva Las Vegas...

Morning bloggers

It's time for a new challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme is "inspired by a book/song or film...I did struggle trying to see what stamps I had that would fit and then it came.....however this wasn't the vision I had in my head.

I stamped Elvis with memento ink and coloured with copics and then I cut him out.  I stencilled the sun rays although I thought I could make it like a dark background and the stage lights shining to make the rays...not quite!  I die cut the letters and fixed some gems...yes to look like lights.

Well...it's something a bit different!

It's your birthday...

Good morning sweet stampers, it's time for another challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.

The theme this fortnight is "no squares" so I thought I would make a triangle shaped card.

I embossed the wall panel and added some distress ink, I also added some splodges.  I coloured those little dinosaurs with watercolour ink and added some spots of colour too, I then cut them out and layered them with sticky fixers onto the wall.  I also layered the sentiments with sticky fixers too.

Hope you likey!

Hi folks,

Its tme for another challenge over on the Sweet Stampin Challenge Blog.  This fortnight's challenge is "Halloween"...I do love Halloween!

For my card I have used a background stamp from Simon Says Stamp which I gently inked with white and stamped onto black card.  I then used my cloud edge stencil and made some clouds with white ink.  I then left the background to dry off and then inked and embossed the bats and spiders web. 

I stamped and coloured the Stamping Bella stamp with caran d'ache pencils and fussy cut her out and layered onto the card. The sentiment is from the same stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.Then as usual I added some sequins and gems to finish.

Happy Saturday...

It's time for another challenge over on the Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog.  This fortnight's theme is "lots of layers".  I thought I would use my favourite sketch that I created a few years ago as it has lots of layers.

I used papers from Simple Stories and layered them onto co-ordinating cardstock, the image is from Stamping Bella which I coloured with my Caran D'ache Luminance pencils (love them).  I die cur the leafy swirl and a dew roses and fixed them to the card.  I finished off with some gems and sequins.

I enjoyed making this card as it did take me back to the early days of my cardmaking.

Happy birthday...

 

Hi folks!

Well what can I say, as soon as I saw this stamp I knew I needed it....who doesn't love Elvis!  I just loved colouring in this image, I am going to make more :)

I have this quite plain and simple, I coloured Elvis with copics...added some sparkle to the suit cos Elvis loved sparkles, and I used a stencil and sponged some ink on but not over the whole card, just behind Elvis, |I did this so that the white suit would pop.  I finished with some dots and sequins.

Hope you like!

Surprise...

Hi everybody..

I coloured this image in last week and never got around to making into a card until today.  I tried to colour with the no lines technique....it has a few lines but I think on the whole it looks ok.  I didn't really have a sentiment that was right but this as I wanted a cake one but had to just go with this..

Hope you like.
