Fusion-Sweet Orange Blossoms

Hi again

Now it is time for a new challenge at Fusion.

You can use the photo or the sketch to inspire you. You could also combine both.

I have gone with the photo and used one of my favourite Uniko stamps.

I had so much fun making this. I embossed the Hummingbird on vellum then coloured the back side of the vellum. I then added lots of glitter. I used a textured card base. I really do love this card!

Here is our photo and sketch-which will you use? Or do you fancy fusing them? I am looking forward to seeing what you create.

Our Guest Designer for April is the very talented Bonnie Sharp. Check out her blog The Lucky Clucker here and you will love what you see!

I will enter this into:

CASology-my hummingbird is sprinkled with lots of glitter!

Time Out Reminder #55

Hello there,

Time to remind you to play along at Time Out Challenges. It is our theme challenge and that is:

Celebrations with optional twist of die cutting/fussy cutting

We are sponsored by CAS-UAL Friday Stamps. There will be a random draw from all those who twist with us. The winner will get a $25 gift voucher for CAS-UAL Friday stamps

This week I did twist with some fussy cutting.

My celebration this week is 'Christmas'

All these stamps are from CAS-UAL Fridays. The top mistletoe has been stamped and then fussy cut out and popped up on foam pads.

Our fabulous Guest Designer Elizabeth is joining us again this week. Check out what Elizabeth and the DT have created to inspire you here

Take some TIME OUT and play along x

The Card Concept #54

Hi All,

We are back with another challenge at The Card Concept.

Our photo this week is just perfect for me-lots of different purples-these inspired my card. Here is my CAS card for you:

I used a star stencil and stitched dies for this. The sentiment is one of my favourite.

You can create your card in any style or mix the styles. You can see an explanation of these styles here

Here is our photo:

What does this inspire you to create?

These dies and stamps are all from Papertrey and the tree and road die is popped up on foam pads.

Our Guest Designer this week is Tanja. Her blog is full of inspiring cards, she is amazing at colouring-take a look here

A Friday make

A happy Friday to you all,

I have a card today inspired by a few challenges I have wanted to play along with this week. Yesterday I got the chance to have some crafty time.

Here is the card:

I decided I wanted to challenge myself again to enter the ColourQ Challenge-I had no idea how I was going to get the blue and the coral onto my card but came up with colouring my butterfly blue and my pearls coral using copics. Another week that I have made, what to me are really hard colours, work...yes I am pleased with myself!!

That gold strip is actually adhesive tape that I picked up from a shop in Covent Garden-a little find! The butterfly is a new one from Concord and 9th

The layout is from the latest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches

I had the idea to use the butterfly from the adorable photo at Addicted to Stamps and More-check it out below.

I will also enter this into the 'metallics' challenge at Uniko-the sentient is actually a Uniko one.

        

Time Out #55

Ready to take some TIME OUT and play are latest challenge at Time Out?

Celebrations with optional twist of die cutting/fussy cutting

Sponsored by CAS-UAL Fridays Stamps. We will do a random draw from all those who twist with us and we have a $25 CAS-ual Friday gift voucher for the winner of this draw!

Your card can be any celebration you want-Birthday, Christmas, Anniversary...the list goes on.

This card was sent a while ago to celebrate just how wonderful someone is. Celebrating a person has to be one of the best celebrations there can be!

This week I chose not to twist (but come back next week and see me twisting away!)

All these sentiment stamps are from CAS-ual Fridays stamps. The firework stamp is from Visable Image Stamps

Our Guest Designer this week is Elizabeth Stewart and we are so pleased she is joining us. Many of you will have seen her cards in galleries and on Flickr but she has recently started a blog called Paper Sweetness. Why not get a cuppa, kick back and have a browse around her blog. I have subscribed and can tell you her creativity blooms with every post.

As always our DT have all made some wonderful CASE cards. Take some Time Out and have a look at them here

Looking forward to seeing what you are celebrating...go on take that TIME OUT and play with us x
