Just a quickie

Just popping in to post a card with this adorable LotV-image to take part in some challenges. The rain is pouring down but I've got a cake in the oven so all is good =)

I know the stitches are all wonky but the machine doesn't agree with me =) 

Challenges:

Lili's little fairies - anything but square

Cute Card Thursday - stitching

Simon says - anything goes

Crafty creations - summer scene

Natalie and Amy - anything goes

Totally Tilda - Bookmark

This fortnight at Totally Tilda we want you to create a bookmark. Might need those now that schools' started and all :). My bookmark is used by putting the small tab - with mini Tilda - into the book and letting the larger piece hang on the front of the book. That way I could decorate the bookmark with flowers and such, and I am a sucker for that ;)

Other challenges:

Stamptacular sunday - roses and ribbon

Midweek Magnolias - colour combo

Sweet Stampin - out of the frame

Tilda Town - anything goes

Simon says challenge - back to school

C1 Paints - back to school

Allsorts - gift box

Saturday so time for another challenge at Allsorts.  This week we want you to make a gift of some sort - could be a gift box, could be a gift tag...

I made a gift box for tea bags. Flowers are handmade from light gold cardstock and distressed with faded jeans and black soot. The bow is hot-glued in place, that's why the ribbon stays so curly ;). Template to the tea box is from Lauren Meaden. 

SFTW - Pearls and Swirls

Time for another challenge at Stampin for the Weekend and the theme is Pearls and Swirls. I think this Wee stamp is adorable, and so easy to colour :). Just a light gold cardstock, a doily and some decos to finish it off.

Tilda box

Just back from a day in the forest with a full bucket of wild raspberries - bliss!!

I also have a small gift box to enter some challenges with. (Box template from My Time Made Easy). I made the pearl sprays myself with rice beads from Ebay, some fishing line and my hot glue gun. Flowers from Wild Orchid.

Challenges:

Lovely Hanglar and Sweet Magnolia - favourite image

Magnolia down under - masking

Stamptacular Sunday - girl image

Moving along with the times - Shape up

Creative inspirations paint - anything but a card

Pattie's creations - anything but a card

Magnolia-licious challenge - colour inspiration

Tilda's town challenge - late summer fun

Totally Tilda midway reminder

Hi, 
this is my card to remind you there is one week left of the Tilda with Kraft Card challenge at Totally Tilda. 

Other challenges:

StampArtic - use dies

Dies to die for - anything goes

Stampalot challenge - take flight

Allsorts - Heavy metal

This week at Allsorts it's my turn to host the challenge and I've named it Heavy metal - I want you to use some kind of metal on your card, could be a charm, could be chains or pins. 
Sponsoring this week are Stitchy stamps and Flonz craft. I used clearstamps from Flonz craft and I love both the image and the sentiment! 

Totally Tilda - Kraft card

At Totally Tilda the challenge this fortnight is to use Kraft card. I've seen so many wonderful cards on the web with images coloured on kraft card but since I use distress ink and markers I don't think the result would be a pretty sight so I opted for kraft card as background. 
The larger flowers are kraft card painted with iridescent medium to get the sparkle, the corners are kraft card covered with glossy accents. 

Allsorts - circles

This week at Allsorts the theme is circles and I used the digistamp Rosebud from our sponsor, so pretty and so swiftly coloured :). What I like most with digistamps is that you can so easily scale them, I simply paste them in Microsoft Word to do that. And I have an Epson stylus SX100 to print them on Canson Montval aquarelle paper 200 g, the printer is an old but reliable machine and the ink doesn't bleed so I can colour the images with distress markers or reinkers.

SFTW - monochromatic

It's time for another challenge at Stampin for the Weekend and the theme is monochromatic. The text stamp on the inside of the card is a total favourite, bought it in a stamp shop in London, a shop filled with stamps only and this stamp was the only one I wanted, a bit disappointing but this one is cherished so at least I didn't go there for nothing ;)

Other challenges:
Lilis little fairys - monochromatic

 The Poodles Parlour - die cuts

Crafty Catz - anything goes

Papertake Weekly - anything goes

Simon says stamp - Bingo (row punches, glitter, bloom)
Totally Papercraft - frame it

Totally Tilda reminder

One week left for the summer fun challenge at Totally Tilda. To inspire you I made a CAS card where Tilda's dress were stamped on the backing paper and pieced on to the image.

Other challenges:

Just Magnolia - handmade flowers
The ribbon girl - bingo (ribbon, flower, charm)
It's a Magnolia challenge - summer card

And a third :)

Third post! Maybe I should put the markers down and go do something necessary - like laundry... neeeeehh!

Simply Magnolia - criss cross card
Totally Tilda - colour inspiration DT call
Scrapbooking4you - August challenge

Allsorts - recipe

This week's challenge at Allsorts is a recipe; use 3 flowers, 2 stamps and 1 paper. I used two digistamps from this week's sponsor Digistamp Boutique and made a backing paper of them - sort of two bears with one stone hehe, aren't I witty today ;). The pink frames are areas distressed with Victorian Velvet. Sentiment is Flonz stamps.
