FOREVER MEMORIES.....

Hi everyone...today i'd like to share my DT card for STAMPAVIE AND MORE....the new challenge started yesterday and the theme this week is " MONOCHROME "......now this always say's to me either black and white or sepia,i've gone this time for the latter.
And sepia to me anyway speaks vintage...not that i'm good at vintage,i love the look that alot of you achieve...but mine always look a jumbled mess :0(.
The old photo's i've used are actually La Blanche rub-ons...these are brilliant and do IRL look like proper old photo's...purchased at an amazing price from the QVC outlet at £1.99 for 12 different sheets,i've had them for some time now...i knew i'd get to use them eventually!
All cardstock including the script is Kanban...every layer i've distressed with a distressing tool and Walnut Stain Distress Ink....well to be honest everything on the card as had the distress treatment....messy but fun!
The stamps i've used are "Classified Ad's" and "Ticket Sentiments" (the blank one from the set) both from WHIMSY STAMPS......and the "Forever" and "Memories" sentiments are from a Royal Langnickel friends set.
All other bits and bobs are from my stash...pearls,chain and beads etc.....

I'm entering this card into the following challenge :-
ABC CHALLENGE......O is for OLDFASHIONED.

Well that's about it again for today...hope you will all come and join us over at STAMPAVIE AND MORE.
Have a fab day
Take care

IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME....

We have a new challenge starting for you today over at JUST CUTE BEARS and FRIENDS.....the theme this week is "BLACK,WHITE PLUS 1 OTHER COLOUR"....as you can see i opted for RED.
The image i've used is "Santa's Puppy" a digital image by Crissy Armstrong and is available to purchase from WHIMSY STAMPS.This cute little puppy's been coloured using Copic Markers and Prisma's and i've added some stickles to his hat and around his feet.
The sentiment is from a Daisy and Dandelion clear Christmas stamp set.
The tartan cardstock is Kanban...ribbon and selfadhesive pearls from stash.

I'm entering this into the following challenge:-
SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY.....thank you Arlana and girls...fabby sketch and lovely inspiration from the DT.

Well all that's left to say...a big "THANK YOU" to all who joined us on the last challenge,we had a good response and some gorgeous creations....hope you will all come and join in the fun again this week :0).
Have a lovely Sunday
Take care

HOT and SPICY LUCY.....

Hot and spicy Lucy...bet you wondered what you were coming to look at...lol.This is one of my new stamps the postie delivered yesterday and i couldn't wait to ink her up!....this is off one of the new Kanban sets which are now selling at Funkykits...

I thought the colour combo sort of suited Lucy...i've used Promarkers and Prisma's as my colouring medium...must get my Distress Inks back out and have a play with those for a change.

The papers are all Making Memories "Maddi" just perfect i thought to go with the image which i always colour first and then match papers...not really the right way,but it works for me!

The copper embellishment is from stash as is the brad.

I've followed the sketch over at SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY....thank you girls.

And i'm also entering this into COLOUR CREATE CHALLENGE...this week the colour theme is "HOT PINK,WARM ORANGE and SAFFRON" and C.R.A.F.T. CHALLENGE...which is "HOT and SPICY" hence the title :0).

Well that's about it for now...have a great day,

Take care
