Papertake Weekly & DigiStamp Boutique GDT Card...

Hi all. I don't know about you but I have had some problems today with blogger. Comments vanishing for no reason. Been busy messing with my settings (which all seemed fine) so I am a bit late posting this card tonight.

It is my final GDT card for Papertake Weekly. This week is a sketch challenge.

I have used Surfin Lilly from DigiStamp Boutique, and coloured her with Promarkers. I have also added Stickles to the sand and sun. Papers are DCWV.

I am putting this into MY PARTNER IN CRAFTING CRIME challenge, who want to see summer creations,

and also DARE U 2 DIGI STAMP - 'great outdoors'

Thanks so much for stopping by...I will catch up with you all really soon!

Papertake Weekly GDT Card...

It's that time of the week again for a new challenge over at Papertake Weekly. There is a $25 voucher up for grabs from Simon Says Stamp this week.

Here is my 3rd card for my month long GDT spot. This week the theme is 'In Stitches'.

My card has real stitches, faux stitches, and stitched buttons too!

But what a drama I had doing the real stitches. I used my 'Sew Crafty Mini' which is a tiny little sewing machine that I got free some time ago, with a magazine subscription. It has one speed...FAST....and one stitch...WONKY!! (or maybe that's just me lol!) Well anyway, the batteries decided to run out half way around, and my paper was stuck! I was searching around for more batteries and ended up nabbing them from the remote control! Then I had to change them over with paper still stuck lol! So yes I know it's a wonky job but I was past caring by the time I'd finished. Never mind...

The cutie hedgehog is Birthday Spike from the DigiStamp Boutique.

I have coloured him with Promarkers, and Memento Inks for the background.

The papers are Dovecraft Piece Of Cake.

I have also used;

Papermania pink scalloped card blank, Nestabilities Labels 1, flowers, cord & buttons.

I will put this into the 'Let's Go Digital' challenge over at Crafty Catz.

Well I am really tired now, so off to bed soon. Thanks so much for popping by!

Papertake Weekly GDT Card...

Hi all!

Phew, it's gone 7pm and the weather is still scorching here! It's nice, but I just can't get on with anything. How long will it last I wonder?..

Anyway, here is my GDT card for this weeks challenge over at Papertake Weekly. This week is a sketch challenge. Please pop over and check it out, there are fab prizes to be had as always!

I just had to use my new Sugar Nellie stamp called 'Worried' from Funky Kits, by artist Kathy Hare. I just love this stamp because it looks just like my 2 year old Ben cuddling his teddy!

I used Nestabilities Lables 3 to cut him out. I 'out of the boxed' his head and teddy's foot. Then whilst still in the die I used my finger dauber and umber, aqua and blue pigment inks to colour the background.

I used my Promarkers to colour the image.

The papers are a mixture of DCWV Linen Closet & Basic Grey Kraft.

I also used;

EK Success Ivy Punch,

Buttons,

Twine.

Free digi sentiment from The Creative Cottage. (printed out onto linen paper and coloured again with the pigment inks)

Papertake Weekly GDT Card...

Hi all! Hope you are well? I am pleased to reveal my first card for Papertake Weekly as Guest Designer. the challenge this week is to create a card using ice cream colours. I was thinking along the lines of neopolitan when I made this.

I was asked to use this cute image provided by this weeks sponsor Di's Digital Downloads.
The image, which I coloured with Promarkers, is called 'A Very Special Note From Bunny', but it reminds me of the kids writing out their Birthday/Christmas lists whilst flicking through the pages of the Argos catalogue. That's why I chose to add the 'wish' charm.


The papers are Pink Petticoat.
I also used; Martha Stewart zig-zag punch, Nestabilities labels 1, raffia ribbon, grosgrain ribbon & card candy.

Thanks for looking and please pop over there to join in the challenge fun!

bfn.
