Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge over at Dutch Dare. This week we have a sketch for you to use for inspiration. We're being sponsored by Stamping Chef, who very kindly gave the DT some fab images to play with. I've used one called Lost Fairy...
I've coloured using copics and added glamour dust to the wings using a quickie glue pen. Here's the sketch...
Now it's your turn. I hope you'll join in.

Thanks for visiting. I need to go and get my daughter's room ready for her coming home from uni on Saturday...where did the last 3 years go? Can't believe she's finished now. See you soon

Hi everyone, I don't think much to the weather at the minute...where's the sun gone? It's making Lanzarote even more appealing...not long now, can't wait.
Anyway, it was my Dad's 75th Birthday last Sunday so I thought I'd share the card I made for him...
You can't beat Bugaboo when you need a sarcastic/funny card... I've coloured Gus using Copics, matching the shorts and balloons to the colour scheme of the backing papers. I've added some glossy accents to the glasses. I made the bunting the old fashioned way, ie scissors, finishing off with faux stitching. The fab sentiment is displayed on an Ornamental tags two die d-lite and has been inked with tea dye distressing ink. The 75 is displayed on a Medallion 7 die d-lite cut from the same paper as the bunting. I used the outer die on its own to cut a brown piece for backing. Here are a few close ups...

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge over at Ruby's Rainbow. The theme for this fortnight is 'Baby'. I've started playing with Serif and the Party Paws digi kits...
I've made a 5x5 card which I think is really sweet. I don't make many digital cards but they are really handy if you need to post a card.
I hope you'll hop over to Ruby's and take a look at the fab inspiration from my talented team mates.
Hope to see you again soon

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been around much lately. I had a migraine at the start of the week and I'm still 'catching up'. It's time for a new challenge at Aud Sentiments. We'd like to see your creations using the word 'Friend' in your sentiment. We're being sponsored by Stamp art design and I've used one of their fab images called Little Bear Watering Can Friend
I've coloured using Copics. The backing paper is a magazine freebie and the flowers are from the goodies I got at last year's Summer Crafting workshop.
I hope you'll join in with the challenge

Hi everyone, there's a new challenge starting at Sparkles Monthly Challenges. This month we'd love to see your monochrome creations. Here's mine...
I've used a Paws-Fur-A-Moment stamp which I've coloured with Copics. All the circular dies are from the Stately Circles Spellbinder, the largest one being the smallest one of the Grand set. I've used First Edition Papers and a LOTV sentiment. The butterfly is a Cheery Lynn one and I've added silver pearls to finish. It's hard to tell in the Photo but the smaller of the two circles around the image has been raised to form a frame using a plain circle die.
I hope you'll pop over to the challenge and take a look.

Hi everyone, it's time for another challenge over at Ruby's Rainbow. This time we'd like you to feature squares. Here's my little piece of inspiration...
I've used a Bugaboo image, which I've coloured using Copics. The image and the corner squares were made using the Spellbinder Adorning Squares dies, the sentiment was made using Labels 3. The mask used to emboss the background is Chicken Wire by That Special Touch.
I hope you'll pop over to the challenge and take a look.

Hi everyone, it's time for another challenge over at Ruby's Rainbow. We'd like to see your creations featuring Furry Animals. Here's mine...
I've made this for my youngest daughter Nikki, who's 19 today. She adores pandas so I just had to buy these Party Paws rubber stamps. I've coloured using Copics. I printed the backing paper from the matching cd. I've used mainly Spellbinder dies (oval, opulent oval, framed tag one and floral corner one), the lettering being made using a Tattered Lace alphabet die. I've finished off with some hot fix pearls, ribbon and a shoe charm (Nikki also loves shoes). Here are a few closeups...
I hope you'll pop over to the challenge and have a look at the wonderful inspiration from the rest of the team.
