A Sunday make!

A very happy Sunday my blogging friends,

The idea for this card has been spinning in my head since I saw the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches earlier this week and it has taken this long to make it!

I was inspired to make it after I saw this fabulous photo yesterday at Just Us Girls. All that pink immediately caught my attention. I didn't want to go with a Xmas card and decided to combine it with my idea for the Freshly made sketch card. I stamped the flower in memento luxe ink which takes a while to dry, so before it did dry I used clear heat embossing powder. IRL it is all shiny! I few sequins and silver gem to finish off!

Enjoy your day.

    

Fusion-Blue Christmas

Hello Again!

Time for a new challenge at Fusion. 

Here is our fabulous photo and sketch:

You can choose to use either the photo or sketch. Don't forget you can combine the 2!

I went with the photo and picked out the blues and silver to create this:

I had seen this gorgeous bow stamp around in blog land and eventually got my hands on it. I stamped it in delicata silver ink, added some WOS which you can't see in the photo but does sparkle IRL. The tiny sentiment and enamel dots was all I felt I needed to finish the card. It is such a fabulous stamp-perfect for us CAS lovers!

Take a look at what the rest of our DT have created here to inspire you and then get stamping and join in the fun!

Time Out Challenge #45

Happy Friday Eve,

That must mean it is time for us to take some TIME OUT to craft and join in the latest challenge at Time Out

It is the 'Inspired by Words' challenge and the words are:

Snowflakes are Winter's Butterflies

You can use any of these words or the whole phrase.

I guess I should have been focusing in 'snowflakes' but I actually made this card a month ago just after I saw the latest challenges at Happy Little Stampers-see below. I was inspired by Loll's card here and Kylie's card here, to create the card I am sharing today. It luckily fitted into this challenge so I have kept it until now to show you!

The butterfly stamp I used for this is from the Butterfly Birthday set from Happy Little Stampers

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very talented Ashwini. I have admired her cards for a long time. Her blog Experiments With Card Makings is a real delight to visit and I can assure you that just a little browse here will leave leave you inspired to create!

Our DT have all made fabulous cards inspired by this phrase. Pop over to Time Out and take a look and then kick back and get inky xx

Ho Ho Ho!

A very Happy Monday,

One week closer to Christmas!

The middle of last week I was being all smug thinking I had finished making all my Christmas cards. Then as I started addressing them I kept remembering people I had not added to my list.

CAS(E) the Sketch came to the rescue on Thursday with a fabulous sketch. And Michelle's card here gave me an idea to create this card:

Last year this was my favourite colour combo for Christmas and I don't think I have used it this year. I still love it so I am pleased I finally got to ink up these colours.

So are you finished with the Christmas cards yet?

Inkspirational #96

A very Happy Saturday,

I am here with a card for our photo challenge at Inkspirational.

Here is my card:

And our photo:

I was inspired by the chocolate reindeer and stamped my reindeer on tags. Fussy cutting one tag out and popping it up on foam pads for dimension.

Our Guest Designer this week is the very talented Asha. Asha was one of the first people I met in blog land and we became friends very quickly and have remained friends over the years. Please take a hop over to her blog Sunny Summer Crafts and you will be amazed at what you see. Her cards are an inspiration.

Don't forget to pop over to Inkspirational and see what my teamies have made to inspire you to join in x

Season's Greetings!

Yep still going at the Christmas cards!

I saw today that Uniko had a new Christmas challenge out with the option of CAS. I felt like a bit of crafting this afternoon so pulled out a few Uniko sets and got stamping to create this card:

I actually used 3 Uniko sets to create this CAS card! I have super enlarged the photo as the normal size didn't seem to show up all the little extra bits I had added. I find these background builder cards hard to make and am never quite sure what to add so did keep it quite simple and just ended up my colouring in the leaves with a glittery green gelly roll pen.

I had fun making it and a nice one layer which will be good for posting aboard.

I went with the same lay out again this week but flipped the card around following the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch and rounded the edge. I also went for brighter colours. The stamps are from wplus 9 and Happy Little Stampers.
