Christmas in July!

We have a new challenge starting at Penny's and this week we would like to see stitching in your projects either real or faux!

The wonderful sponsors this week are Saturated Canary and Floppy Latte. My card uses a Floppy Latte image and FLoppy Latte paper, I love this paper, it looks just like fabric and gives such a wonderful effect!

I printed the paper then printed the image onto the printed paper. I also printed it out onto some white card.

 I carefully cut out the circle and coloured it with a gold Promarker then stuck it to the image printed onto the paper. I added some faux stitching to the edges (I was going to get the sewing machine out but.........) then mounted the whole thing to a dark grey base card.

Once I worked out how to do it this became a very quick card to make and I think a few of these will get made for Christmas using the different colours in this paper pack.

I hope we will see you over at Penny's Paper Crafty this week with all your lovely stitched projects!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon and hopefully over at Penny's too!

Cocktail Anyone?

A very quick post from me tonight, I have had this coloured up for a couple of days to try and get a card made for the Dare to Be Sassy challenge this week!

Phew! finally got there

 

isn't this a fabulous image for the party girl? I usedsome cute spotty paper from my stash for the background and layered it onto some olive (quite appropriate!)green card. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment then glamed it up with some bling on a string and added some red prearls.

 



I coloured the image with Promarkers and used a little Starlight Gelly roller to bring the glass out, isn't she just the ultimate party girl!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

Summers Ended!!

OMGosh - it rained and rained yesterday, I really thought we would have to build an Ark! We had thunder and lightning all day at work; the lights kept going out but worse still - they kept coming back on, lol! They say we have rain all week - what a surprise!!!

Tuesday and that can only mean the Color Challenge at the Outlawz and this week's inspirational picture was chosen by Penny and the twist is:

Make it 3D

 

 

Such lush colours you could make some wonderful things with those colours!

 

For my card I chose to go CAS and used an image from Right Said Fred

 

 

I coloured the image up four times then cut it out so that the petals layered, the centre was coloured yellow with Promarkers then glittered with some glam dust. The paper is from my stash and just happened to be the perfect colour along with the yellow card that I used to layered it up on!

 

 

This is the daisy up close, I coloured it with Promarkers before cutting out - this flower works so well for building up to a three dimensional flower, the centre on the top layer I rounded out using a large embossing tool, it makes it look much more realistic.

 

I hope you will join us over at the Outlawz and show us your beautiful projects!

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!







Sunday.............

and that it's the new challenge from Eclectic Ellapu!

This weeks challge is from the Pink Team and was chosen by our beloved leader Elaine!

This week's theme is everyones favourite - Anything Goes.............

So for my card this week I have used another birth card I have made recently, if you also follow the Altered Eclectics you will have seen the shadowbox I also made for this baby!

The card is an 8 x 8 as it was sent from the office so had to be large enough for everyone to sign. I do think it makes a card so special when you can add some personal detail, I knew that it was going to be a boy - the wonder of modern medical technology - and I also knew the name so I was well ahead!

I do think that the best baby images are from Mo Manning, She has the ability to capture the essence of a baby and this is one of them!

I coloured the image with Promarkers. I mounted it onto a lemon doily. The blue ground paper is from Papermania and is ages old, I found the cute bows on a string at one one the haberdashery stalls on Bury market, some lace from the same place and some blue bling finishes it off! All the letters were cut using my Cricut from glitter card.

I hope you will join us this week over at Eclectic Ellapu we love to see your luscious projects! You have to call by to see the amazing projects from the DT, just jaw dropping talent!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

Wednesday.................

and the new challenge has started at Penny's Paper Crafty!

This week we would like you to 'Bling it On' so let's see your projects with lots of bling and sparkle!

For my card I have used one of the Moppets from Lacy Sunshine who is on of our sponsors. Anyone who knows Lacy Sunshine will know that Heather, the artist, produces the most beautiful digi's!

 

She is such a forlorn looking little lady and I love her spiders!  I found the papers in my stash and they matched with the colours I had coloured her in perfectly! I will have to learn to get the papers before I colour - it would make my life so much simpler! The edge of the card has some 'bling on a string' around it; I love this stuff, you buy it by the metre and it is about ten rows deep so you just cut up what you need, great! I alos added some pink gems to the top of her hat.

 



 

 



She has been coloured with Promarkers.

I hope you will come over to Penny's and join in this week's challenge we'd love to see you and briing on the bling!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

Tuesday......

and another Color Challenge at the Outlawz!

This week we have Christmans in July and the gorgeous colour palette was chosen by Ina

I did struggle with this colour combo I love all the colours but I seem to get a metal block with purple!



This is what I came up with:

The image is from Mo Manning, the  Holly Fairy and I think she is just adorable! For my background I used some purple parchment layered with some paper from Nit Wits and it is an olive green based paper just doesn't look it in the photo!! I set the fairy onto some gold card and added some lace and gold sentiment, there is a touch of glitter on her wings but that doesn't seem to show either!!.

She is coloured with Promarkers.

Hope you will come over to the Outlawz and join us in this weeks challenge I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!
