Stepper Card Challenge at Love to Create

We have a fabulous new sponsor this week at Love to Create. Art by Mi Ran is an etsy shop full of gorgeous images - she's also got a blog here for more information. I used a winter girl with snowflakes and coloured her with promarkers. I've added Star Dust Stickles and Opal White Liquid Pearls to the snow on the picture.

The card is covered with some older Craftwork Cards winter papers and I've used Die'sire snowflake dies to cut white snow embellishments. The smaller ones are from Robert Adams.

I hope you will join us for this challenge, we look forward to seeing what you create!

Birthday Challenge at Crafting by Designs

Please excuse the super quick post from me today - my youngest is poorly! I'm scheduling this Tuesday evening while he naps, I think it may be a long night.

Anyways, while he rests, I've made a card using Whimsical Going Somewhere Girl AlishBA from The Octopode Factory. I love Lily's images and we are delighted to be sponsored by her this week at Crafting By Designs - why not show us your birthday creations to be in with a chance of winning some gorgeous Octopodes of your own.

I have used a Halloween paper pad, Oct 31 by Fancy Pants Designs to create this card. It's layered up with black pearlescent paper on a black 6x6" card base. I've coloured the image as always with Promarkers and matched the papers to the turquoise and purple colours of the image. The sentiment is Craftwork Cards as is the purple Candi corners. I've finished with a black seam binding bow, rolled roses and black pins.

Thanks for looking, I hope you'll join us this week at Crafting by Designs.

Blue with bling Challenge at Love to Create

This week's challenge at Love to Create is being sponsored by the fabulous Sassy Studio Designs and the theme is 'Blue with Bling'. I chose the Smurfette Sassy.... cos she's blue!

I used my X-cut parenthesis dies to mat the image, a border punch down the side and a sentiment from Craftwork Cards. The image is coloured with promarkers and StarDust Stickles and to finish I used strips of diamantes and a blue and white flower combo.

Quick and easy and very much rushed this week! It's back to school tomorrow so hopefully back into routine and I will get ahead of the game again! Thanks for looking!

Challenge #22 New Beginnings at Left of Center

This fortnight's challenge at Left of Center Creative Challenges is themed 'New Beginnings' and is sponsored by Delicious Doodles. I had the privelege of working with the 'A Mother's Love' image and created a New Baby Boy card.

The image is coloured using promarkers and the papers were a freebie from a magazine last year - I just thought the blues worked well with the image. The ribbon and flowers are from my stash and the sentiment is Craftwork Cards.

I will enter this card into this Week's Challenge at Delicious Doodles Challenges - the theme is 'Layer up'! I have lots of layers with dps, doily, ribbon and lots of 3d foam!

I hope you can join us for this challenge!

A New Year and A New Home Card for A New Challenge at Just for Fun

Time for a new challenge at Just For Fun and rather than being a 'New Year' card, the theme is 'Anything New' so I have made a 'New Home' card for my best friend who recently moved house and changed job all at the same time!
I have used the Vintage Boho kit from Craftwork Cards which includes papers, sentiments, die cut flowers and birds with birdhouses. I thought the bird house was very apt for a new home. I have used some 'pink bubblegum' Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels to give a pearly sheen which you cant quite see (sorry!) and edged the flowers and sentiments with Worn Lipstick distress ink. The central panel uses the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis square die and I've finished with some lace and diamante sparkles.

I used my paper pricking tool to help shape the layers of the flowers before using Cosmic Shimmer glue to adhere the layers and attach the blooms to the card.

I hope you will pop over to the Just for Fun challenge blog and see the inspiration from the rest of the team and let us have a look at your 'New' makes!

Happy New Year from Craft Mojo!

Another Happy New Year from Me! Another another new challenge!
This month at Craft Mojo we want to see your 'New' projects! Whether it be 'New Year', 'New Job', 'New Baby', a new stamp or new paper line or something else 'new' for you - please make sure you tell us what that is in your blog post - link it up to Craft Mojo for a chance to win a prize!

Here is my project, a Happy New Year card using two new digital stamps from Delicious Doodles - the Romantic Clock Face and New Year sentiment freebie. I have left the clock as it was and coloured around the sentiment using 'Sunkissed Pink' Promarker to tone in with the hearts on the clock. I've mounted the images onto black pearlescent paper, silver holographic card and made it into an easel card. I've finished with a couple of Die-namics flourishes cut from the same holo card and some holo candi!

I will enter this card into the following challenges -
Delicious Doodles - Party Time
Card Mania - Happy New Year
The Crazy Challenge - Celebrate the New Year
Cut It Up - New Year's Celebrations


Wishing you all a great new year!
