Yaay! I came Top 3 at CAS Colours and Sketches, so thanks to all their DT.

I've been crafting this afternoon, and made a card!! I will be entering these challenges with it :

Retro Sketches with this sketch


CAS Colours and Sketches with these colours




CAS-ual Fridays with colour blocking



Stampin' Royalty       and       Addicted to Stamps      want to see something  

                                               CLEAN and SIMPLE !

Here is my card

First, I put the three strips of card through the Big Shot in different EFs. Then I coloured the stamp with Write Markers and stamped it onto White card and Maroon card that I'd cut with a Nestabilitie, and layered  them over the strips. I added the sentiment as a finishing touch. 

Supplies :

Card = Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Maroon and White card FMS
Stamps = Fresh Vintage and Verve
Inks = Rich Razzleberry, Blushing Bride, and Certainly Celery
Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, Fancy Fan EF, Dots EF, Budding Vine EF, and Stamp-a-ma-jig

Tomorrow is Mothers Day, and here is the card that I helped Nathan make for his mum

He chose all the colours and the lay-out himself, and is quickly becoming a little designer !






Guess what he wants to do over the Easter break? Yes, more crafting!!.

Thanks for dropping by, and Happy Mothers Day to all you lucky Mum's out there in Blogland !

I'll be out with my Mum tomorrow, so I'll be back next week.

Baroque Best Wishes

Yaaaaay!! I've made a card and it's still daylight!!!

Just for two challenges today, firstly at Pals Paper Arts where they have these colours for us,

and again over at Addicted to Stamps where we are required to Make a Mark with marker pens.

So without further a do, here it is

I have used my SU Write markers to colour the rubber stamps before stamping onto the white card, and then using the Big Shot to cut the Nestabilities Labels, and mounting them on 3D pads. The finishing touch was the addition of white pearls to the centres of the small flowers, and three under the sentiment.

I love this stamping technique as several colours can be used in one go, instead of several times with the different colours and the hassle of trying to match the designs up. A little tip with a larger stamp ( such as the flourish in this SU set) is to huff a breath on the stamp to moisten the whole design before stamping onto the card, as it can take a while to colour the stamp, the starting point can dry before the final detail is reached.


Recipe :                                  
Card = Real Red and White card FMS
Stamps = Baroque Motifs,Fresh Vintage, and Fiskars sentiment
Inks = Real Red, Primrose Petals, and Pool Party
Tools = Big Shot and Nestabilities
Extras = 3D pads and White Pearls

 Thanks for dropping by and I hope to be back soon.

Just for You

I've been very busy all day today again, hence another late night post, but better late than never.

My card is for three challenges,

the first is ColourQ where they had
these colours.

second is Try Stampin' on Tuesday with this sketch,

and thirdly Addicted to Stamps where we had to Make a Mark and use Marker pens in the design.


Here is my card

The flowers on the panel were coloured with SU Write markers on the rubber image before being stamped on white card. The ribbon design, sentiment and little flowers were done the same way. The cards were then
put through the Big Shot with the flower shaped Nestabilities, and I cut the ribbon by hand. The flower shaped topper was raised on 3D pads for some added dimension and interest.

Recipe :                
Card = Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie,Whisper White, and white card FMS
Stamps = Fresh Vintage and Just Believe
Inks = Pink Passion and Blushing Bride
Tools = Big Shot and Nestabilities


I've got another busy day tomorrow, but I hope I can get some crafting done before dark falls. Please pop back then to see if I make it!!!

Mellow Yellow

Yesterday was our craft club and we made a Spring Fold card which I will be entering into the Less is More challenge where the theme is Yellow


Here is my card

And here is a side view

Recipe  :
Card = So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, and Very Vanilla
Stamps = Fresh Vintage and Verve
Inks = Pear Pizzazz and Crushed Curry
Tools = Cuttlebug and die ( Jacqueline's ), and scoring tool, and bone folder
Extras = Cream and yellow ribbons

When I left Jacqueline's club yesterday afternoon, I had to drive down her country lane, which I do every Tuesday, however, this time I encountered a suicidal black and white cat.......now I am a dog lover and cant stand cats ( except Louis, Jacqueline's cat) but I would never hurt one, so being a softy I braked hard to allow the stupid creature to leap to safety. I was relieved to see it scamper away and was quite pleased with myself for avoiding it and I felt happy at doing a good deed..................then my mood seriously changed when I got home........as I opened my cars back door I was met by the entire contents of my craft bag lying across the back seat, a nightmare as you can imagine!!...........but then............AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!, my bottle of apple and blackcurrant juice had spilt and covered everything from my bag, the rear foot well, and the back seat!!!!......all thanks to that darn cat!!!!

It has taken hours for the car to dry after I sponged everywhere with warm soapy water, and I wont go there to list what I've had to throw away!!

Anyway, my friend is back from Jamaica now, so my Mum Sitting duties are over and I've got some time to myself, and once my chores are done ( Yuk! ) I hope to do some crafting.


Thanks for dropping by today

 

Fresh Vintage

 I've had another crazy busy day today, but when I got home a new parcel had arrived for me to play with, so it would've been rude not to use it!!!!

I've combined two of my favourite challenges and used the sketch from Mojo Monday

and the colours of ColourQ

Here is what I made

After cutting the top off the stamped white label Nestabilitie, I just couldn't throw it away, so I added it as an extra layer under the red label ( It's dark outside so I've got my daylight lamp on over my card as I've photographed it and it looks like orange not red, but it is red honestly!!??)

Recipe :

Card = Ruby Red, So Saffron, Whisper White, and white card base FMS

Stamps = Fresh Vintage and Verve

Inks = Ruby Red, So Saffron, Pool Party, ans Soft Suede ( I don't have Early Espresso )

Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, and Stamp-a-ma-jig

Extras = Ribbon

Last day of the week "Mum sitting" tomorrow, so I hope I can get some crafting done this weekend. My BIL still hasn't decided what he wants to do for his birthday on Saturday yet, so my plans could change at the drop of a hat!!

Hope you all have a good weekend what ever you do.

Be back soon
