For my DT work I made a tag.  I was in the mood to use up old stash, so used a HOTP card printed with a lace design to cut my tag from, and some HOTP images that I've had for years!  I added some Tim Holtz doodads and some sticky lace coloured with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink.

K for Kitty Cats

The new theme on the Alphabet Challenge Blog this week is K for Kitty Cats.  I made quite a simple card for my DT work as it might be going to a little boy and I didn't want it too flowery!  I used a Funstamps cat stamp, coloured with Copics and some DCWV papers from a huge stack I bought years ago and is neverending but very useful!  I coloured some Card Candy to match with a Copic.

MTTC Challenge #148 - Bird Watcher

The new challenge on My Time To Craft is Bird Watcher.  For my DT work I decided to do a LO as I don't get enough scrapping done!  These are Thomas and Annie, our Diamond Doves, and they like sitting in a hanging basket!  I used DCWV cardstock and some WRMK bp, and Petaloos and  BG Element Stickers to embellish.

Time for a new fortnightly challenge on Craft Your Days Away, and this time the theme is Fancy Folds.  There is a fab prize of 4 digis from Meljen's Designs so pop over and take part.

For my DT work I chose to make an easel card, not the fanciest of folds really but I like them!  I used a cute Elzybells image coloured with Promarkers and Copics, and some lovely DCWV Pocket Full of Posies bps.  I punched the border strips and butterflies with Martha Stewart punches and coloured some white flowers to co-ordinate with a Promarker.  I'm never sure how to photograph these cards and only usually take one pic, but it is an easel card!

J for Just One Word

The new theme on the Alphabet Challenge Blog for this week is J for Just One Word.  For my one word I used a Heidi Swapp stamp on my card, together with some bp that I have forgotten the name of (might be Dovecraft!), and some fabric flowers.  Quite a quick and easy card but nice and bright!

The new challenge on My Time To Craft is A La Carte.  For my DT work I have used one of my House Mouse stamps, I think it is only the second time I have used this one!  I water coloured the image with Marvy Le Plumes and used some freebie bp.  Flower and leaves are punched with Leone Em and Martha Stewart punches, and I used Card Candy to embellish.  The sentiment is by Daisy and Dandelion.

The sentiment is by Daisy and Dandelion.
