DU2DS - Recipe

This is my entry for the current DU2DS challenge, which is a recipe:

1 Ribbon; 2 DSP's and 3 flowers

My image is a very cute freebie digi-stamp from Doodle Palace, which I've coloured with Stampin' Up! markers to match my cardstock (SU! Creamy Caramel) & DSPs (SU! Haiku). The sentiment is SU! from the set "Stem Sayings" I really love this wavy birthday greeting and the flowers, brads & ribbon are all from my stash. Picture's a bit dark as it's another wet & dreary day!

The Haiku papers are retiring at the end of September and are currently reduced to £5.81, so if you fancy getting your hands on some before they're gone, please send me an email (details on my sidebar).

Funky Fairies Challenge No. 23 & DU2DS No. 14

This week's theme at FunkyFairies is "Beach" which gave me just the excuse I needed to use my new Digi-stamp purchased from CC Designs, I've seen this stamp on a few other blogs and just fell in love with it. I'm also entering it into DU2DS who are asking for embossing.

I've coloured my image with ProMarkers, the backing paper is from FunkyFaires, called Swirly (I think!) and the cardstock is SU! colours So Saffron and More Mustard (which I thought was a nice sandy sort of colour) and I've put it through my Cuttlebug with the spots embossing folder, I've also torn across the top, but you can't really see that very well. The flower, brad & chipboard sentiment are all from my stash.

DU2DS & Digi-Stamp Boutique

This is my card for two challenges, a sketch for DU2DS and using one of the fab Olive stamps from Digi-Boutique, which I was lucky enough to win from last month's challenge. This is my favourite of the three Olive images, but they are all really sweet. I've coloured her with ProMarkers, used SU papers from the set Washington Apple and c/s Summer Sun & Whisper White. The sentiment is Penny Black.

Need to be quick (hence the daft picture & not having time to edit it as my entry for DU2Ds needs to be in by tomorrow & it's now 10.00 pm! Where has today gone?

Bee Happy

Made this cute little card and found it fits 3 challenges, so that's a bonus!

DU2DS - are asking for "Things with Wings"

Digital Tuesday - are asking for Showers or Flowers

Stamp Something - also asking for Shower or Flowers

This cute little fella is a freebie from Dustin Pike and I've coloured him with a variety of medium, it took two attempts as I just couldn't get him right! Who would have thought colouring in a bumble bee would be so hard?! Anyway, I've used pencils for his body, Sakura glaze pens for his umberella, boots and water, a Sakura Stardust pen for his glittery wings and my brand new Promarkers, which I bought yesterday and just love, for his face.

The papers are from Here's a Scrap as are the embellishments

A card for many challenges!

Having my daughter at home this week has meant not so much time for crafting, so I hadn't made many cards & still had a long list of challenges I wanted to try & take part in, so this card fills the criteria for 4 challenges, which brings me back up to date a bit! The 4 challenges are:

1. The Pink Elephant - Pink, Green & Yellow
2. DU2DS - Pink & Green
3. Bee Crafty - use a new Bee Crafty Digi-stamp
4. Sketch Saturday - no 46

The image is from Bee Crafty & I've coloured her with SU Stampin' Write markers in Old Olive & Summer Sun, her butterfly net has been coloured with a Sakura Stardust pen and I've paper pieced her dress. All the papers are from FunkyHand's "V Funky" CD and the yellow card is SU Yoyo Yellow. The sentiment is a chipboard sticker from A Pocket Full of Posies, and the little sequin flowers are from my stash.

An Easter card for two challenges

This cute little fella is called Warren & was a free digi-stamp from Tinker & Co as were the papers and I can use him for two challenges this week.

The first for the new Dare You 2 Digi stamp challenge blog was a sketch and the second challenge I'm entering the card for is Stamp Something's Thursday challenge which was to make a Happy Easter card.

I've cut out Warren and put him on some SU cardstock - Chocolate Chip, with silicon for a 3D effect, the papers are also from Tinker & Co & the ribbon is from my stash. I've printed the sentiment from my computer as I didn't have a suitable stamp.

I think I'll be posting this one off today to my Sister-in-law for Easter as I think she'll like it.
