Lazy Days

This is another of Sunday's cards. It uses: the sketch from the Allsorts Challenge; the Penny Black Saturday Challenge 'Travel/Holidays' theme; Sketchy Colours 'Pink, Blue & Green' colour combo; and Stamp Something's 'Something Summer' theme. The image is called 'Lazy Days'...and I'm sure that most of us would love to spend our summer hols like that hedgie! The papers are from the 'Sweet Nothings' pack by Papermania, and I added some faux stitching around the edges of the little squares, as I though it sort of looked like a patchwork quilt. The little sentiment is from the 'Sending Sunshine' stamp set by Simon Says Stamp.

Gifts for you!

This card follows the sketch from Sketchy Thursday over at Eat, Sleep, Stamp!, where I was so chuffed to be chosen as 'Sketch Artist' of the week with my card for last week's challenge! :0) I've combined it with the 'Swirls' theme of the Penny Black Saturday Challenge, and Sketchy Colours 'Green, Lilac & White' colour scheme. The image is 'Gifts for You!' (of course by Penny Black), and for the background, I used my Cuttlebug 'D'Vine Swirls' folder. I added some Stickles to the flower on the image, and also to the tips of the paper flowers and brad (from Poppicrafts)...although it looks kind of odd in the photo!

 

Cheese Cake!

I had a rather productive afternoon yesterday...and made 7 cards...don't worry, I'm not going to show you them all at once...although 4 were very simple...and identical in design...for a charity card stall next month. This one combines the sketch from Sketchy Colours, the 'Lets Go Digital' theme of Totally Papercrafts, and the 'Break out the Buttons' theme of Our Creative Corner. The image is a digi stamp by Hambo called 'Mouse Chef', and the papers are all from the 'Ooh La La (for Him)' collection by My Mind's Eye, as is the little tag that I stamped the sentiment (by Studio G) on. The buttons, brads and ribbon are all from Poppicrafts.

Amelie Bunnykins

I was inspired by the gorgeous colour combo from Paper Sundaes, to make my first Easter card of the year. I followed the sketch from Sketchy Colours....and am also entering this card into Stamp with Fun's 'Spring' challenge. The image is 'Amelie Bunnykins' (by Toodles & Binks), and the papers are 'Penny Lane' by My Mind's Eye. I distressed the edges, added some ribbon from Poppicrafts, and a Hero Arts stamped sentiment.

Bumble Bee

I have the day off today - woo-hoo! The school I teach in on Fridays, is closed, in order to celebrate the birthday of the woman who founded it...which seems a bit odd to me...surely it's something they should celebrate in school together???
Anyway, on to today's card...this one uses the sketch form Sketchy Colours...and the 'Wings' theme from Corrosive Challenges. The image is 'Bumble Bee' (by Sugar Nellie)...and I've watercoloured her to match the gorgeous 'Blush' paper by BasicGrey...this is my last piece...and I'm very sad to see it go! lol I did add a touch of sparkle to her wings, with a Sakura 'Stardust' pen, but it doesn't really show up in the photo. I embossed with my Cuttlebug 'D'Vine Swirls' and 'Victoria' folders on to white core card, then sanded it to reveal the core. The sentiment stamp is by Cuddly Buddly.

More recycling...

I've been turning the rest of last year's calendar pages into cards today...these ones fit the colour challenge of 'Dark Green, Light Green & Pink' of the Sketchy Colours Challenge...and also the 'Green plus one other colour' challenge (in my case pink) of the My Time to Craft Challenge.
The first uses 'Gifts for You!' by Penny Black, paper by BasicGrey (from the 'Perhaps' range), the flowers are from Poppicrafts, and I embossed the vellum using the Cuttlebug 'D'Vine Swirls' folder.


The other card uses 'Dream a Dream' (also by Penny Black), paper from the 'Sugared' pad by BasicGrey, some Papermania vellum, Poppicrafts flowers, a Dovecraft dragonfly brad, and I added a Cuddly Buddly sentiment.
