DT card for Fairymoon

Over at Fairymoon this week, we are sponsored by Crafty Sentiments and you are asked to follow a simple sketch to be in with a chance of winning ~ this is what I came up with. 

Using a stamp I bought recently and coloured with PMs, I mounted it onto purple and dark purple card and distressed the edges.  The backing paper then had the ribbons and sentiment added so I hope I have followed the sketch as close as possible.

The DT are looking forward to seeing all your creation so come along and play girls!!

Ingredients:~

Image is Entangled from Sugar Nellie range at Funky Kits coloured with PMs~

Dusky Pink, Blush, Ivory, Satin, Sandstone, Caramel, Ruby, Blossom, Prussian, Amethyst, Lilac, Lavender, Apple & Meadow Green;

Sentiment is a freebie from the fabulous Rainbow Echo;

Backing papers and ribbon from stash.

Best Fishes

Well another week is halway thru - life is so fast when you pass 50 you now!!  SO make the most of it if you are reading this and have not yet reached that age ha ha!  Not much happening here - the house is dead quiet as Lynne is off up to Scotland to see my Mam for a week but we are rabbit-sitting.  We have Buttons over as my son and dil are off to the Lakes for a few days so hope the weather stays nice for them all.

This card was made a few days ago but only just getting around to posting it on here - my neck has been very sore the last few days (don't think the cold weather helps at all) and sitting at the PC is not easy for me.  I am trying to pluck up courage to call my consultant's PA to arrange an appt for op - wish I could just pick the phone up and do it right now but it is such a huge step fo go for elective surgery if it is not totally necessary - but I know it IS necessary for me.

Using the fabulous Best Fishes stamp I won in Sugar Nellie's blog (for no apparent reason) I coloured him with my Promarkers and used BP from Funky Hand's Colour Me Happy (Jovial Man) and embellishments I also won in a blog candy draw.  Not at all happy with the outcome of this card but hey ho I can't be good all the time......I am entering it into The Sugar Bowl and Totally Papercrafts Stick a Number On It.

Passion for Promarkers

This one is for my two wee boys (the kittens in case you thought I'd had 2 additions to the family in quick succession) to give to their Daddy (my hubby Graham) for Fathers' Day! If you read previous post you will know that we have a weird sense of humour in hour house. Using backing paper from My Craft Studio, I coloured in Rock Idol from Sugar Nellie in my PMs.

Following the sketch for Passion for Promarkers Challenge 56 and the Male Theme I created the above - quite pleased with it apart from the fact that my Xcut Corner seems to be on strike at the mo - sometimes cuts the angles all wonky!

Male cards are so hard to make for me - must get more into them!

Ingredients:~

Paper from MCS;

Stamp from Sugar Nellie coloured with PMs~

China Blue, Pastel Blue & Cornflower for jeans and all blue bits;

Poppy;

Shale, Caramel & Cinnamon for hair and brown bits and

Pastel Pink & Blush for skin.

Custard from Sugar Nellie

My mojo is on overload today - a second card for another 4 challenges. This time its for Polka Doodles 'Nursery Rhyme' Challenge; Totally Papercrafts 'Animal Magic' Challenge; Bugaboo Challenge (to use national colours etc) and Creative Inspirations 'Monochrome' Challenge No 36.

Using freebie papers from Fred She Said I created this to tie in with all 4 challenge recipes. I adore this image and as usual coloured him in with my PMs.

Ingredients:~

Stamp 'Custard' from Sugar Nellie coloured with Promarkers ~ Cool Grey 1 ,2 & 3 with Blossom on the flowers;

Paper freebie and glitter card from cheap shop (its fab - the black and white in particular);

Sentiment on PC and ribbon from stash.

Tiny Tiddler

This is my first card this week. I am falling in love with my Sugar Nellies that I won earlier this year - I particularly like this one and was just waiting for the right challenge to come along to use her.I made the flowers myself with my Sizzix Bigz Build A Flower - there are 2 other parts to the flower but I feel they look out of place. I simply curled the petals under with the use of my small craft scissors and that made them look so 'full'.

The image reminds me of summer days when we lived on a farm near a small river - suppose it was really a burn (may need to be Scottish to know that word) - and my Granda used to take us down to look for tadpoles. Need less to say I never managed to get any in my jar!

I am entering this one into 4 challenges - I am getting better at linking to more challenges now-

Moving Along with The Times No 50 following their sketch;

Crafty Catz Embossing Challenge No 36 - all the dark green card is embossed using my Sizzix Lines and Circles folder;

New Manga Stamp

Well well, what an afternoon I have had. My 24 year old daughter has just tested positive for Glandular Fever after having blood tests done on Tuesday. I knew there was more to her illness than tonsilittis. She has to call our GP tomorrow morning to get some advice about it regarding work etc.

So I hurriedly made up this card for her to cheer her up - it is her 25th Bday on 7th June so this could not have happened at a worse time for her. We were planning a BBQ on Sat for her but may need to rethink plans now. Thing is we have all been in contact with her over the last couple of weeks anyway so if we are going to get it too we will already have it if you follow me.

If any of you fab people who visit my blog would like to send her a card to cheer her up please contact me and I will send you our address.

This card as well as being for Lynne is also going into 2 challenges ~ The Sugar Bowl No 36 'Pink, Black & White' and Charisma Cardz No 22 ' Flowers'.
