Make It Colourful DT - Blending Green and Yellow

Yay it's the weekend and that means it's time for a new challenge at Make It Colourful,  this week we want to see you blending

Yellow and Green.

This is a great combination for foliage!

Just got to mention here that last week we had a challenge just for the kiddies and OMG the entries were incredible some of the talent is amazing. ~So huge thanks to all who took part and a big congratulations to you all on the amazing work you produced. 

Just to make this challenge a bit more interesting we have another new sponser for you this week, the incredibly talented Chrissy Armstrong

I was lucky enough to be given one of Chrissy's gorgeous images to play with and I chose Gracie's Roses which you can find Here hasn't she got just the cutest face. I made a background for her using digi stamps from our very own Zoe at Make It Crafty where you can get loads of different scene digis as well as some real cute characters, oh and she is doing rubba now too!

I used Daffodil Dell, Peaches of Plenty and Petals and Palings to make my scene.

I made Gracie in three layers to give her plenty of dimension and fixed her on with silicone. The copics I used for her dress are YG00, YG000, YG05 AND YG06.

Flowers are Wild Orchid and DP is a sheet from one of the new paper stacks that I swore I was not going to buy until I had used all the paper I had in my craft cupboard and that is an awful lot, but I just couldnt resist the Prima papers at the Craft Barn this one is from the Botanical Collection. swirls were cut on my cuttlebug I think a Marianne D die.

Ok enough waffle from me, hope you get chance to join us this week.

Hugs Beccy

Nana Vic DT

You could be forgiven for not realising that this gorgeous little piggy is a digi image from Nana Vic, he is a little bit different from what we would expect but hey Nana's have to send baby cards too. This little piggy doesnt have to cry all the way home cos he's not on his own Nana Vic has a whole little collection of baby animals and some real sweet word art to go with them, so if your in need of baby card images then head on over there.

I kept this card real simple and neutral for either a boy or girl, the image and text I coloured with copics and then triple embossed, the gingham ribbon I have had for ages and forgot about in the bottom of the box so when I saw it today I just had to use it. The corners are made with a Nellie die that I got yesterday too.

Nana Vic DT

Here's NanaVic on her Jet Ski I reckon she is having great fun, she is deffo a Nana after my own heart. I have used Mystic Water papers from Rasberry Road Designs for this card and coloured Nana with Copics added loads of stickles to the water spray and glossy accents on the jet ski.

The shapes are some of my new stash,  Tim Holtz dies which are almost to die for I just love them so expect to see a lot more of them lol.

The sentiment is also from Nana Vic and you can get your hands on this and other great images Here

Challenge 3, Inspiration, Valentine, N for New

Some quickie posts whilst Hubby is cooking dinner


I was asked to make a valentine card by one of my son's friend, so thought it was a good time to use my Popcorn Bear Romance Stamps. I followed the sketch from Its A Crafters Companion Image coloured with Inkadinks and Distress Inks.
Papers are from the Romance disc that goes with the stamps. Border punched with a Martha Stewart Punch.
Red hearts are buttons that I have had for ages and have no idea where there from!
The challenge over at Simon Says this week is to take Inspiration from a photo of a rose and the Stampin for the Weekend Challenge is Valentine as is Creative Card Crew
ABC Challenge this week is N for New - these are new stamps.

4 in 1 card

I followed the sketch from Truly Scrumtious and followed the colours from Stampin for the Weekend of Red Green and Gold this also fits with the Dare U 2 Digi Stamp colours of Red Green and a neutral colour of choice and the Creative Card Crew red and green Christmas.

Challenge 3. snowflakes

This is the second cute digi image that I got from the Greeting Farm after seeing a card made by Dawny P, you can see what she did with one of the images here.
The image I coloured with Copics and the backing papers are Bearly Mine Designer Extreme vol II
I used the sketch at the Anyone for Anya Challenge
I am also going to enter this into the Creative Card Crew Challenge which is snowflakes.

Movies, Scallops

This is what I made for the House Mouse Challenge which this week is Movies - you had to fit your image into a film title. I decided on 'The Big Sleep' as fitting for this image.
I coloured the image with Distress Inks and papers are Hot Off The Press Earth's Palette.
I included a scallop type edging so am also entering this into the Creative Card Crew challenge of scallops.

Celebration

The challenge over at Creative Card Crew is to make a Celebration card or project. This worked well for me as it is my DIL's Mums 40th today.
Now Jackie is the most ungirly person I know and hearts and flowers are just not her scene neither is turning 40. So I made a card with plenty of flowers and a nice big 40 reminder LOL. But then felt a bit guilty so I added some Candy that I just know she will love!



The gorgeous man is a digi image from Victoria Case. Papers are from a set I got at Costco. I cut the lettering and numbers with my Cricut which I know I do not use enough. Flowers and brads are from stash.

Easy As 123, All that sparkles

1 Ribbon
2 Buttons
3 Flowers
This is the recipe for the Cute Daisy May Challenge this week.

And this is what I cooked up.




The fairy is from Sheet 16 and can be purchased Here with four of her firends for only £1.99, dont forget these are digi images so you receive them straight away and you can resize and flip them to fit with your project.

I coloured my fairy with Copics and then got carried away with my newest must have item Cosmic Shimmer Aurora Cystal Sparkle Embossing Powder which I put on her wings, dress and the nestie cut backing paper. I just love the glitter effect without the glitter coming off everytime you touch it. I also put Cosmic Sparkle Paint on the flowers, this is irridescent so you can only see it in certain light but it gives a fab hint of green IRL.

I am also going to enter this card into the Creative Card Crew Challenge which this week is all that sparkles. I reckon there is enough glitter on this card to qualify lol.

Pink and Grey, challenge 25

Wow I did not think I was going to get a card made for the Stampin for the Weekend> challenge and it is a colour combo this week that I love Pink and Grey. I decided to go all girly which is so out of my comfort zone it is unreal. But I saw these cute images on DawnyP's blog and thought I had to give them a go. She is one of the Frillie Millies from Pink Petticoat.

I have coloured her with Copics choosing the colours was dead easy LOL. I have added glamour dust to her skirt and hairpiece.

The sketch is from Creative Card Crew and fitted in lovely with the image.
The papers are downloads from Funky Faries, flowers are from stash and I have added some shimmerz to them.

The photo is not very clear as I have printed everything onto pearlescent paper I love the shimmer effect that you get IRL but tends to play havoc with my camera.

The Word Is, Christmas In August

Sorry photos are really not too good today!
This card is for two challenges.
For the "CuteDaisyMay challenge the theme is 'The Word Is' not sure if this counts but the words of the poem are definetly the main focal point of the tags! and the theme is 'Christmas in August' over at
CreativeCardCrew.
I have used this gorgeous download digi image from MoManning. Which then put me in mind of the famous poem Twas the night before christmas.
As the poem is 14 verses long I decided to make a tag book card.
The tags are digi papers from BearlyMineDesigns and the DP s from Extreme Designer Vol 1.
Ribbon and flowers are from stash and the tree charm is from BunnyZoesCrafts

Thanks for taking the time to look and dont forget to check out my candy.

Have a great Sunday

Friday Sketchers 62, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

This is my entry for Friday's Sketchers http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/ who have a really great sketch this week.

I have used a Cute Daisy May digi image which I have coloured with copics. I added some ultra fine glitter to the skirt of the main image and Fairy dust to the smaller image inside, I must admit to prefering the ultra fine.

Ribbons are Anita's - papers I have had for ages not sure where from. Flower from The Range and the charm from my Indian shop.

I am also going to enter this in the Creative Card Crew Challenge http://creativecardcrew.blogspot.com/ which is girls just wanna have fun.
