Rosey Hearts Naughty or Nice Challenge

We have a challenge for you on the Rosey Hearts challenge blog and would love you to join us! This month it is 'Anything Goes' and this is my project for the midway reminder. The theme is Naughty or Nice - I'm thinking this archer is more on the naughty side!

I have used the 'Sagittarius' chibi image and coloured her with Promarkers and pencil. I have used papers from Graphic 45 An Eerie Tale and some black organza from my stash. The die cut is a Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Square and I've finished with card candi. There's also Glossy Accents on her eyes too.

Thanks for looking!

Inspiration at SLS Lines

It's my turn over on the SLS Lines blog this morning to inspire you with something arty. I have used the 'Book Lover' digital stamp and coloured her with Promarkers and pencil then fussy cut her out.

My card blank and sentiment were cut on the Cameo using files from the Silhouette Studio. My DP is from Craftwork Cards Velvet Plum collection and the flowers were cut to co-ordinate, also with Silhouette files. I've finished with some candi.

Oddball Art Co News!

Oh this last few weeks have been a mixed bag for me. My 13yo broke his arm, had surgery to pin the bone, hubby is taking a study break from uni, and my aunt lost her long brave battle with cancer - lots of anxiety, pain and sadness. And then I got an email from the lovely Audrey at Oddball Art Co inviting me to join the DT for their Challenge Blog! So now add excitement into the mix.

Here is a card I have made last night using papers from Bo Bunny and die cuts from the Silhouette store made on my Cameo. The image is #69 Big Eye Creepy Cute Bat Girl and I've coloured her with Promarkers. The glittery circle is from my Halloween stash!

Cards for Guys at Crafting By Designs

Good morning! I hope you are all well! I've been up and down to the hospital like a yo-yo with my eldest son - he broke his arm in a freak fence climbing incident and needed to have pins put in. Hoping he'll be home later today and I can get some crafty stuff done! But first, here's this week's Crafting By Designs project.

Our theme this week is 'Masculine' and I have used the 'Boxing Gloves' image from Oak Pond Designs, one of our sponsors. I have coloured this with Promarkers and pencil and fussy cut the image. My papers and sentiment are from Craftwork Cards. The oval is a Spellbinders die and I've finished with some candi.

My DP is from Bo Bunny's Fright Delight 6x6 paper pad and the rosette is from Martha Stewart. I have used the current sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches and turned it on it's side for this one.

Simply Betty Stamps for Crafting Vicky!

Through crafting I have made friends all over the world with some amazing women. I have a few who are very special to me in one way or another. Crafting Vicky is one of those. We have chatted for hours on end about everything and nothing and helped each other through tough times. She's on the DT at Simply Betty Stamps and we have a wee surprise for her today!

Betty has created this fabulous 'Victorian Vicky' with sentiment to help cheer her through some difficulties and lots of us are making cards with this for her now! I have coloured with Promarkers and used lots of 'Peeled Paint' Distress Ink on my image/sentiment and papers.

My papers are from Papermania. The doilie is Tatty Teddy. The twine and skull are from my stash.
I really hope she likes the card and it will be in the post later this week!
Thanks for looking and thanks for being a friend.

Big Eyes with Dilly Beans at LOC!

Our sponsor this week at Left of Center Creative Challenges is Dilly Beans! I love their images and have had these cards made for weeks!

My first card uses the Bat Boy image and is coloured with Promarkers with Glossy Accents for his eyes and Star Dust Stickles on his wings. The bat die cut is from a Silhouette Store cut file on my Cameo and is mounted on orange pearlescent paper. The DP is Bo Bunny Fright Delight and the glittered bat is from my Halloween stash.

This next card uses a big eyed girl with Skull Bow! This is also coloured with Promarkers and black pencil. This project is the reverse side of a Fat Page so I have kept it quite flat.

My DP is from the same Bo Bunny papers - some of my favourites! The checked paper I believe is Graphic 45. I have attached the image to the page around 3 sides to allow for a tag to be inserted in the top for the recipient. The glittery skulls are from the same pack as the bat above.

Thanks for looking!
