PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE......WEEK 34.




I'm sorry to say that it's been a good few weeks since i last joined in with the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.....i so love PB stamps,when i saw this weeks challenge was to make a round card i knew i had to join in....i've been meaning to have a go at one of these cards for a while now.
The image i've used is from the T for Transparent "Every Which Way",coloured with Prisma's and blended with Sansador.I've used some mini paper flowers where the flowers are on the image to give it some dimension.All layers cut using nesties,the top layer as been mounted on 3d foam pads to raise it slightly from the base layers.
The sentiment is also from the same "Every Which Way" set.
Ribbon from stash.
Another quick card....but i think its quite natty.
Hope you've all had a good day,
Take care

2 IN 1.....WOJ CHALLENGE#16 and CCT BOTH VALENTINES







A quick card to cover two challenges....WOJ and CCT both this week have the same theme of Valentines.
The WOJ stamp i've used is from the "Elizabeth Bell accessories and sentiments set",coloured with Promarkers and Prisma's,i stamped the image twice and cut out the centre heart on the second image and 3d'd it with silicone.
The paper and sentiment are both from a Pink Petticoat download "Just an old fashioned girl",great quality print out,if you've never tried Pink Petticoat they're worth giving a go i know you won't be disapointed.
I've edged each of the layers on the nesties and card with Distress Ink "Antique Linen",ribbon and heart charms all from stash.
Well thats about it,hope you all have a lovely day,
Take care

SKETCH SATURDAY #35.....





There's a great sketch this week at Sketch Saturday (#35),i loved working with this one and i'm sure it will be one i use again.
I wanted to go with a completely different colour scheme with this one,as much as i love all the shades of pinks and lilacs i felt like having a change so went for a lemon theme not a colour i use often.
The stamp is from a Morehead set....how cute is she,coloured with Copic markers,cut out and raised from the nesties with silicone glue,i wanted to give a bit of dimension to the card.
The papers are all from a Provo Craft 8x8 slab.
The sentiment is by Personal Impressions.
I used my Fiskars "threading water" punch to do the scallops,the ribbon and paper roses from stash.
Well whatever you're doing today have a good one,
Take care

SKETCH & STASH...CHALLENGE #2







Another great sketch to work with this week over at Sketch And Stash (Challenge #2).
This week i 've used a new download from Pink Petticoat "Old Fashioned Girl".....always love the quality of print out you get from PP.
All papers and large sentiment are from this download,ribbon,brads and vellum for the tag sentiment are from stash.
Nesties used to cut sentiment and Martha Stewart punch for bottom and tag border.
The back of the sentiment tag i've matted the same but is just blank so that a "secret"message can be wrote on.
I decided to decorate the back of my card today with the left overs,i've also decided to go the whole hog and decorate the inside to match as well.
Oh i forgot to say i rotated the sketch.
Hope you're all having a lovely day
Take care
