A colour challenge

The Crafty Creations challenge this week is a colour challenge, you must use Green, Red & Brown on your creation All you have to do is use these three colors on your card or project - and you are not limited to just those three colors - but make sure they are all there! 

Our sponsor this week is Stitchy Bear & I Did It Creations Crafting Boutique who are offering the winner 5 digi stamps of their choice. Our design team were given some great images to work with and I chose Christmas Corner for my card.

 

I coloured up my image with Promarkers and added some Glossy Accents and some outliner paint for the berries. The baubles were punched from some Christmas backing paper by Kars.

My sentiment was a freebie digi stamp from Pollycraft, I finished the card of with some brown ribbon to fulfill the colour requirements!


I'm entering this in the following challenges:
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday - Make the sentiment the main feature
Tuesday Throwdown - Anything goes 
Pear Tree Designs - Free for all
Sweet Stampin - Ribbon
Winter Wonderland - Give it a vintage look

Getting round to it

Had a busy day yesterday, rushing about all over the place but managed to fit in one little card for a couple of challenges I fancied trying. I saw the sketch at Create 4 Fun and thought I'd like to try another round card, I also wanted to use one of my Leanne Ellis stamps just because I love them so here is the result:

The backing papers are Dovecraft and the flowers are made by punching different sized circles from an old book, rubbing with a little distress ink and then spritzing with water and scrunching them up, after drying them with a heat gun they are lovely and crinkly.

I'm entering the challenges at:

Craft your Days Away - 1 circle, 2 papers & 3 embellishments

Create 4 Fun - Sketch

Mark's Finest Paper - Stitching

Our Creative Corner - At least 3 embellishments

Creative Inspirations does Halloween/Fall

It was my turn to pick the challenge at Creative Inspirations this week and you will probably not be surprised that I chose Halloween/Fall - I should probably have chosen something different as there are so many Halloween/Fall challenges - what else did I expect at this time of year ??

I wanted to feature one of my new Halloween digi images so I used Ghostly which is available now on my Cardmadfairy's Creations blog. The papers and the sentiment are from the Autumn/Halloween 12x12 pack by Max Bringmann KC again and the spider stamp is Stampin Up.

Very briefly

Today is a big day - it's the day I finally move my lovely Mum into a great care home only a few minutes away from me. She has been in hospital for nearly six months now and it has been a very trying time for her and for my sisters and me, so I'm looking forward to getting her settled in her own nice room with some of her familiar things around her and the lovely carers to look after her.

So just popping on here very briefly to share a card I made a couple of days ago, I used a Pollycraft stamp and coloured her with Promarkers. My backing papers are from PaperArtsy, the sentiment is Stampin Up and the flowers are from Petaloo.

Challenges I'm entering this for are:
Little Red Wagon - Something Old (my stamp) & something new (my papers)
Sisterhood of Crafters - Bling
Hodge Podge Shop - Distressing
ABC Challenge - F for flowers
A Spoonfull of Sugar - Winter wonderland

Crafty Creations challenge

Today's challenge at Craft Creations needs you to use a number on your card, we are being sponsored by Sketching Stamper and the lovely Chris has supplied all of the DT with images from her store.
Mine is Partridge in a Pear Tree and I really enjoyed colouring it up with the Promarkers with some added Glossy Accents to make the pears pop. The lovely papers are from Stampin Up and I generated the sentiment on my IMac - the last line of the verse is inside the card but I didn't take a photo of that.

I'm entering my card for the challenges at:
Christmas Stampin - Sketch
Allsorts - Inspired by song
Create4fun - Digi stamp

Totally Papercrafts - Buttons & Bows

It must be Autumn

So many of this week's challenges are all about the colours of autumn and the change of season I felt I had to make a card to reflect the time of year. I started with the fab new digi stamp I won last week on Cowgirl Up challenge, her name is Bella and she is available here. I coloured her with Promarkers and added a little sparkle with Sakura stardust pens and a waterbrush - a fairy has to have a little sparkle about her doesn't she? I followed the sketch from this week's Sketch and Stash challenge and used papers from the Autumn/Halloween 12x12 pack by Max Bringmann KC. The stamped leaves are Hero Arts and the weeny brads are from Basic Grey. The sentiment is from Woodware.

The challenges I'm entering are:

Stampin for the Weekend - Autumn inspiration

Bunny Zoe's - Autumn love

Karber Monthly - Fantasy

Paper Playtime - Orange

Paper Sundaes - Change of season

Well it's a new week and I have a lot to fit in this week so before I go and get on with it all I just want to share a card I made at the weekend, Christmas is edging closer and I really have to get cracking with these Christmas cards. This one was made using a really cute stamped image Marshmallow Penguin by Stampabilities which I coloured with Promarkers then doodled a design on his scarf & hat. The backing papers are Rum & Raisin from PaperArtsy and the sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Wishing all my visitors a great week!
