Die Cut Dreams and Stamp With Fun

I've combined two challenges with this card - Die Cut Dreams whose theme is Ribbon & Trim along with Stamp With Fun, using their sketch.

I've used a lovely Tilda image that my friend Carly inked up for me - thanks hun, and coloured her with ProMarkers, the gorgeous papers are K&Co and I've layered it all up on SU! Always Artichoke cardstock. The sentiment is SU! Circle of Friendship; the flower has been cut with an X-Cut punch and the green ribbon is SU! Fairytales, the pink is from my stash.

TFL - off to walk the dog now whilst the sun is shining.

Carol's Fun Sketch meets DieCut Dreams (and a sneaky sneak-peak!)

Good morning all, bit of a dull day here in Shropshire but the sun is threatening to pop through the clouds, so fingers crossed.

This is my entry for challenges over at Carol's Fun Sketch and DieCut Dreams, whose theme this week is "Tea for Two"

The image is a HouseMouse stamp, that my wonderful friend Carly stamped out for me cos she knows I'm a HUGE HouseMouse fan, I think they're so sweet, I just love 'em to bits (I'm a big fan of mice and rats in real life too) and so as soon as I saw the theme I knew I was going to use this image and I've coloured him with ProMarkers. The other stamp on the side of the card is another sneak peek from the new Stampin' Up! catty and is from the same set as the mushrooms on my card the other day - Queue Up! I thought it would make a good border and used it instead of a ribbon down the side of my card, I've coloured this with SU! markers to match up with the DSP's & cardstock -both SU! The c/s is Tempting Turquoise and the DSPs is from Rainbow Sherbert, another set sadly retiring at the end of this month! The sentiment has been done on my 'puter and the flower is from my stash.

The card's much brighter in real life, but I took the pic last night, so it's a bit dull

I love this card, but it's because of the image, I don't think it's possible to make a bad card with this little fella! Let's hope I don't prove myself wrong now LOL!!!

TFL & have a good day

New Nutshells stamp for 3 Challenges

I was honoured to be asked to be a Guest Designer for Nutshells during August and they sent me a couple of their new, soon to be released scenery stamps, which are lovely. I've used the Fashion Boutique one for this card, which I'm entering into three challenges:

Stamp Something - Paper Piece

Die Cut Dreams - Fashion Frenzy

Crafty Creations - Buttons

I've coloured the image with ProMarkers and have paper pieced the two dresses, the ribbon on the 2nd dress has been coloured with a Sakura Moondust pen and I've used some chalk to colour the background as it looked a bit white without it (I masked the door, window & shop sign first)

The DSP's are digital papers from "Two Peas in a Bucket", the cardstock is Stampin' Up! Taken with Teal & the buttons are from my stash.

DCD Challenge No. 1

Die Cut Dreams have launched their new challenge blog and this week's challenge is Green Fingers.

I don't do much decoupage these days, but I had this sweet potting shed image (sorry the pic is a bit blurry) from Buzzcraft along with the papers, so I thought I'd make it up for this challenge.
