In The Garden

The new theme on My Time To Craft is In The Garden.  I used a Penny Black image for my DT card watercoloured in with Marvy Le Plume pens.  The BP is, I think, Brenda Pinnick!

R for Roses

This week we are up to R on the Alphabet Challenge and the theme is Roses.  I made a decoupaged card for my DT work, not something I usually do but the recipient likes decoupage!  The corner embellishments are cut with a Cuttlebug die.

Handbags

The new challenge for this week on My Time To Craft is Handbags.  This DT card isn't really my usual style of cardmaking as it is using stickers but I didn't have anything handbag related in the way of stamps!

CYDA Challenge #2 - With Wings

For the second challenge on Craft Your Days Away, the theme is With Wings.  The challenge runs for 2 weeks, and is sponsored by Crafty Emma's Store.

For my DT card I used Crafty Individuals bps and butterfly stamps, watercoloured in with Distress Inks.  I punched some butterflies with a MS punch and added adhesive gems.

Q for Quotes

The new challenge on the Alphabet Challenge Blog is Q for Quotes, and for my DT work I made a card using stamps from the Unity Fall For You kit available from Make The Day Special.  I used My Mind's Eye papers, a chipboard butterfly inked with chalk ink and some Primas and Card Candy.

Glitter and Glitz

The new challenge on My Time To Craft this week is Glitter and Glitz.  I used one of my favourite House Mouse images coloured in with Copics, and used SU Diamond Dust to sparkle it up!  The flower embellishment is sparkly and the mat of image is glitter paper too.

Floral Friends

This is a mini card made using one of the stamps from the Unity Floral Friends set, available from Emily here.  I stamped one of the images and coloured in with Copics, putting an adhesive gem in the centre.  The bps are unknown from my stash mountain!

P for Punches

The new theme on the Alphabet Challenge blog this week is P for Punches, and for my DT card I used a Hero Arts floral image coloured in with Copics, and used my Martha Stewart punches to make a border and butterflies, and an unknown punch for the flowers!

Farm Fever

The new theme on My Time To Craft this week is Farm Fever.  For my DT card I used a Penny Black cow image coloured with Copics, some downloaded bp, Primas and a Leone Em punched leaf for embellishing.

Brand New Challenge Blog!

Today is the launch of the brand new fortnightly challenge blog - Craft Your Days Away and the first challenge is Favourite Things.  There is a prize of a $10 spend in Simon Says Stamp store with free p & p so pop over to the blog and have a go!  For my DT work I made a tag which I love to make, and used Distress Inks, Crafty Individuals stamps and nature theme - which are all my favourite things!!

O is for Ovals

We are up to O this week on the Alphabet Challenge Blog, and the theme is Ovals.  I used one of my favourite House Mouse stamps for my DT card, and cut mats with my Nesties.  BPs are unknown from my stash and I finished with some Primas and Card Candy to embellish.

Drink it Up

This week on My Time To Craft there is an either/or challenge - Drink It Up and/or Let's Eat Cake (due to a malfunction with scheduled posting last week!).  I have made my DT card using the lovely stamps from My Cute Stamp (available from here) called Tea Party, coloured in with Copics and matted onto DCWV and Joanna Sheen bps.

And finally, Z for Zebra!

We have reached the end of our alphabet challenge on InchybyInch, and this week I have made Z for Zebra, using part of a small zebra stamp I luckily had and Bundled Sage Distress Ink.  I can't wait to see what Fiona has in store for us in September when we start something new!
