Finally a card!

 Hi All

Popping in with a card that took me 3 days to make-just couldn't get it the way I wanted but finally got there!

It was inspired by the photo at Fusion-loved the rainbow line of crayons so made a watercolour background in rainbow colours!

I will also enter it into:

Poppy Stamps-AG-the flower die is from poppy stamps

Seize The Birthday-option not taken-this card is for a friend's Birthday.

Have a good day x

Time Out Guest Designer!

 Hi All

I have the honour of being the Guest Designer of my previous challenge Time Out.

And I am super excited to be joining the amazing team because this is a special challenge sponsored by our very own Kim. Kim is not only a card maker but so very creative in so many ways. And one of these is her amazing skill of sewing and she has her own Etsy store RunningStitchDesign-pop on over there and you will see a delight of goodies-I have quite a few!!

 And today, Kim and her store are our super sponsors!!

We have a photo of one of her gorgeous bags she made as our inspiration and here it is:

How wonderful is this-and this bag could be your's if you win!

You can be inspired by anything in the photo-the bag, the colours, the stitching (like me!), the mug, pencil, 'imagine'....anything!

So I went with a 'Kim' focused card-taking in all she loves in making her bags, the colours-the photo is quite dark but I wanted you to see the stitched white card as I thought this went with the theme!

This really was out of my comfort zone-using tiny images, fussy cutting and colouring but I quite liked the end result. And actually all these images and the stitched background are from team member Joyce who sent me them a while ago to help me with this challenge-thank you Joyce!

The other very Guest Designer for this challenge is Nathalie and you can find her on Instagram here. Nathalie is so very creative and you can find out more about her over on Time Out. I recommend visiting her Instagram account as you will love what you see!

Now pop on over to Time Out and see what the super Design Team have made to inspire you and then take some Time Out and play along!!

CASology 394

 Hi All

Time for a new challenge at CASology

And our cue word is 'Mask'

I went for masking my sentiment with sticky notes and then stamped the striped border stamp after.

You would think this was super quick but masking is something I do not find easy so it did take me a while to get it right.

This went to my Dad back in June for Father;s Day and he loves his garden and is always tending to it so I used green as a nod to this!

Our Guest Designer is Karen-this is her Instagram account and she has some fab cards-check it out!

Welcome Karen, we are so pleased you joined us.

Then pop on back to CASology and see what our wonderful Design Team have made to inspire you.

Enjoy!

Love!

 Hello There!

Been a while since I have felt like making a card but the photo at Just Us Girls really inspired me to get those inks out and make this:

Pretty easy to see the stripes and 'love' inspired me. The ink is actually blue although looks black here-it is 'Juniper Mist' from Catherine Pooler-a great dark blue ink.

The design I got when I saw the challenge this morning at AAA Cards-along the edge (no option taken).

Hardest part was to get the red stripes on the die cut section, to match up perfectly, to the base card, but I did it!

I decided to keep it this CAS as I just love the clean, graphic look, the way it is!

I will also enter into Addicted to CAS-geometric cards

Have a good day x

Simon Says Monday Challenge-something fun and quirky-these 2 chaps look fun and quirky to me!

 

Christmas!

 Hi All

I haven't been crafting much recently and then suddenly an idea popped into my head this morning inspired by the sketch at CAS Colour and Sketches-I made a super CAS version of this but loved how the sketch sparked the idea.

All I needed was some colours and Color Throwdown gave me these.

So last minute entries into these challenges with my one layer CAS Christmas card.

Quite hard to get a clear photo as it is pouring here in London and these challenges finish today.

The stamps are all from Visible Image

Have a good day x

CASology #392 Strength

Hi All,

We have a new challenge at CASology and our cue word is:

And my take:

 

This sentiment is from The Ton and I think it speaks for itself! I just added a touch of patterned paper and a few enamel dots and done!

Pop on over to CASology and see how the team have interpreted the word and then get inky!

Enjoy!
