Pollycraft & Stamping With Fun

Second card today which I'm entering for two challenges. I've followed a great sketch over at Stamp With Fun and the theme at Pollycraft this week is black, white & one other.

The image is a Pollycraft digi-image called Cherry Kisses Attitude and I've coloured her with ProMarkers and SU! markers. The papers are by digi-papers by Pink Petticoat from a set called Pretty Doodles, I've used these quite a lot as I really love them and for each colour you get a positive and negative image, so I've used the positive side to cut out three strips from and added some eyelets on each end. I haven't actually stuck these strips down, they're held in place by the central band so they're actually slightly raised off the paper, but you can't really see that in the photo, I've also distressed the edges of the paper. The sentiment is Stampin' Up! from the set Stem Sayings and the cardstock is SU! Real Red.

Carol's Fun Sketch meets Pink Petticoat

This is my "just by the skin of my teeth" entry for this fortnights Carol's Fun Sketch Challenge, which has to be in by 10pm this evening (it's now 9.28!) talk about leaving it to the last minute!! I've been meaning to do it for the last few days, but just haven't managed to fit it in & then today I saw these new digi-images from Pink Petticoat & fell in love, and decided to combine Carol's challenge with Pink Petticoat's Summer Themed Challenge for August. I printed out the digi-stamp, no problem, chose some PP papers and my printer decided it just didn't want to print out in colour this evening - no thanks very much, I'm on a colour strike! So after faffing about for far too long I had to find matching papers in my craft room stash instead.

So the image has been coloured with ProMarkers, the DSPs are Pebble Ink, c/s is Stampin' Up! Old Olive (which matched the Olive PM beautifully), the ribbon is SU Very Vanilla coloured with the same yellow PM as the flowers. I've put three strips of Old Olive c/s through my Cuttlebug with a flowery embossing folder as I was running out of time & struggling to find another good paper to match!

Phew - right must get this entered pronto!

Oh & sorry about the pic quality, the colours are brighter in real life, but had to take indoors with a flash (due to it now being dark outside!)

Pink Petticoat Flowers

I made these flowers for a Pink Petticoat challenge using PP papers, I simply die-cut hearts out of the negative & postive Pretty Doodle papers in Sunshine, stuck them together and added a button with some thread tied through - simples! Now I need to make a card to put them on!

Lily of the Valley & Scrappy Frogs Challenges

Another two challenges with this card, second one today. I've used the Lily of the Valley sketch with Scrappy Frogs Fairy Challenge.

The image is a Victoria Case Stamp called Grape Fairy that I was lucky enough to win recently and it was nice to get her inked up. I've coloured her with ProMarkers again, apart from her wings which have been coloured with a Sakura Stardust pen - well a fairy's got to have a bit of glitter after all! I've also chalked around the edges with my SU pastels.

The background papers are digi papers by Pink Petticoat called Swirly Doodles and I love these papers because they come in a negative and positive, in about 40 odd different colours.  I've cut out the circles and scallops with my nesties and used SU cardstock in Lovely Lilac and Whisper White.

Tuesday Taggers & Digital Tuesday Challenges

I have managed to do two challenges with this little tag card, a new Challenge Blog called Tuesday Taggers were asking for something "new" on a tag to launch their blog, and I thought of this image as a graduation leads on to new things, whilst over at Digital Tuesday the challenge was "Tag You're It"

The image is a download from Pink Petticoat called "Yoo Hoo" and comes with the Wise Guy sentiment (and also without if you prefer), I've coloured him with my SU markers in Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel and Garden Green.  The cardstock is SU More Mustard and the DSPs are SU from the sets "Sweet Always" and "Tea and Crumpets".  The congrats sentiment is from the SU set "Cheer & Wishes".  The tag shape I've cut by hand (you can tell) as I didn't have a decent sized die for this, but hopefully it's slightly wobbly edges add to the charm!! That's my excuse anyway!

Stampacular Sunday Challenge No. 3

Black + White + One Other Colour -was the colour challenge this week over at Stampacular Sunday. I've been planning to do this card all week & only got around to it this morning, but finally, it's done.

I've used Pink Petticoat Pretty Doodles papers, which come in a postive & negative for each colour, so I've used the black & white and added some lovely SU Pixie Pink Ink on SU Stamps from "Simply Said" set, plus a bit of ribbon (which is looking a bit wonky - hmmm) from my stash.

The more I use monotone, the more I like it, it gives such a striking look. Going to have to do something about that ribbon though!!

Creative Card Crew - Challenge No. 6

Monochrome Madness was the theme this week, which I love doing, I think black & white just looks so classy together.

I've made this card using a digi-stamp from Pink Petticoat, from a set called "Simply Delightful", the DP is also a download from Crafters Kitchen and I've embossed the white card behind the image using my Cuttlebug and finished with some Stampin' Up! ribbon in Whisper White.

Dottie's World Challenge - Blast From the Past

The challenge on Dottie's World this week was to recreate a layout from an old card, so here are my two cards for the challenge:

Card 2 - Is using a Girls About Town download from Charmed and coloured with Sakura Glaze & Stardust pens and the papers are from Pink Petticoat, ribbon & flower embellisments both from my stash
