Vintage Sewing

Good morning my friends and welcome to my new followers too - don't be shy, leave me a comment and then I can come visit you too.  This card is a bit defferent for me as I haven't touched any colouring medium but have simply used digi images and digi papers.  That is an out and out lie as I have just noticed I used a gold gel pen to 'fill in' the text. Sorry!

Using the ever so bright Funky Hand girl digi paper, I inserted fabulous Vintage Sewing digi images from the very talented SJMusings onto the paper before printing.  She has a fabulous range of digis and also has an even more fab range of clear stamps with adorable angels on them so do go along and have a look at her fab blog.

I am entering this into the following challenges:~

Get Funky May Recipe Challenge - do go along and play - you do need to use a Funky Hand item on your project BUT the lovely Anice has some stunning papers for FREE!!;

Simon Say Stamp and Show An Old Wives Tale Challenge and

Stamps R Us Going Digital Challenge.

My Mojo is Back.....

I would like to thank you all for your kind wishes during my spell of non-crafting.  I am on the mend now thankfully and able to craft for a couple of hours each day along with light housework but no heavy lifting like shopping etc but that suits me at the mo. Graham and Lynne are being great getting shopping done and chores etc.

This card is my first challenge entry since my mojo came back and I thoroughly enjoyed making it.  I felt like I was in heaven sitting at the table with all my bits and bobs around me messy again he he!

Using the gorgeous Simply Sassy Stardust rubber stamp (which I got in a gift from a fabulous crafting buddy of mine - you know who you are.....!! and I am eternally grateful to you !), I coloured her with Promarkers, cut her out using a Nellie Snellen die and my BigShot, layered her onto a coral coloured shape I cut 'around' the Die (TY Jenni for that fab tip), the sentiment and spotty card are mounted onto same coral card and whole thing stuck onto fabulous DP from Funky Hand Papercraft Factory.  The embellishment stars I made using a freebie stamp and same DPs.

This image below shows clearer the stars that I made myself - I don't often think of stamping onto patterned paper but this worked a treat.

And finally this close up shows just how beautiful Stardust is - I have found that colouring her really is an art and she needs lots of layers of bright inks.  I have to let you allinto a secret that I have ordered the new Simply Sassy rubber stamps from Funky Kits so hopefully they will be dropping thru my letterbox tomorrow or Wed.

Fabulous Funky Floral Fantasy!

I have two cards to share with you guys tonight - this first one is for Anice at Get Funky's Fabulous Funky Floral Fantasy 3D flowers Challenge! Phew got that out eventually! I had fun doing this with NO image or Promarkers!

I would like to thank Anice for picking me as a Birthday Winner on the last Challenge over there at Get Funky! Using the fabulous papers from Funky Hand's Colour Me Happy CD I tore the paper into 3 strips using my fancy ruler (don't know the technical name for it but you guys will - ruler with no straight edges!! he he), stuck them onto pink backing paper and added 3 handmade flowers - again using their papers - details below.

Ingredients:~

Papers from Funky Hand's Colour Me Happy CD - Contented Coffee & Merry Berry ranges;

Ribbons from stash;

sentiment made on PC.

New Baby card

A work mate of Lynne's has gone on maternity leave and is due any day now so, in prep, I made this card - have also done a boy's one too but will post that next as this one is for some challenges. Using a stunning image I got from a friend and coloured it with PMs, layered onto card from Papermill Shop and added ribbon and button.

I am entering it into the following challenges:~

Get Funky 'New';

Totally Papercrafts 'One for the Girls'; and

Craftilicious No 3 'Cute'.

Ingredients:~

Backing paper from Funky Hands Wordbooks CD - Pastel Daydream;

Pastel Pink & Blossom for clothing and hairband.

Ribbon and button from stash;

Challenge Card

Good afternoon everyone. You are likely aware it is still teeming it down so another card beckoned me.
I used Bugaboo's image 'Reading Time' once again and coloured it with my PMs using skin tones and two brown shades for the book with Blossom and Dusky Rose for the clothing. Using my Nesties Inverted Scalloped Circles I cut a glitterboard shape and layered it on to the A5 card which is printed in Funky Hand's Love'n'Stuff from their Funky Word Books CD. Using another plainer paper from the same range on the CD I tore different sized shapes for matting down the side and across the top and bottom (with the help of one of those fancy rulers I recently purchased).

I added spotty ribbon that actually came from a very large nationwide cheap store (they wrap it around their PJs). The sentiment was ruined as our naughty kittens trampled all over it before it got a chance to dry so am pretty peed off with this!! But as you all know I cannot scold them - thye look at me with those gorgeous green eyes that say 'we didn't mean it Mummy'.

This one is going into the following challenges:~

Get Funky's 'Pink, Brown and Cream' June Challenge and

Passion for Promarkers 'Books' Challenge No 54.

The next few days I am going to attempt to tidy up my blog - try to find out how to make it look better and to make the posts look a bit neater than they are. I will be googling a lot methinks.

Thanks for looking X
