JUMP INTO MY POUCH....

Well yet another week's rolled round and time for another challenge at Stampavie and More....this week there's a sketch to follow by Nancy,thank you Nancy a great sketch to work with.

I've used a Rachelle Anne Miller stamp for my card,and have decided i will stick to using just Stampavie stamps for this challenge...as the title says you can use others now,but to be honest in a way it is much easier to stick with one make of stamps,the only decision is which image then.

We had a good response again last week with some gorgeous creations...thank you for joining in and hope you'll all be back again this week.

RECIPE FOR CARD :-

STAMP:- Rachelle Anne Miller "Jump into my pouch".

COLOURING MEDIUM :- Copic markers...thought i should get them back out....it's been awhile since i last used them,i'm not too happy with effort,far too dark,never mind practice makes perfect so they say.

PAPER :- Anna Stemplewska....this is what i recieved in some blog candy i won off Bev...gorgeous paper thank you Bev,i haven't wanted to use it....you know how it is there's some papers that need to be stroked for awhile before we can bring ourselves to cut into them...lol

SENTIMENT :- Quickutz "Moxie".

FLOWERS :- Xcut punch.

EVERYTHING ELSE :- Ribbon,buttons and glamour dust from stash.

Well that's about it folks...hope you all have a lovely day,the sun's shinning here again this morning,hope it is where you are

So out come my much neglected Magnolia's,grabed me a few hours me time and made a card.

I wouldn't call this a pretty card by any means...just a fun card,something alittle different for me i think...lol,can't make up my mind whether i like it or not.....i'll let you decide,good or bad let me

know,and don't be afraid to be truthful i've got broad shoulders,i can take it...lol.

Stamp :- Magnolia "Tilda with sunflower"

Colouring medium :- Promarkers,Prisma's and Sansador....alittle Sakura for the spots on her dress.

Papers :- DCWV Spring collection...from QVC.

DARE U-2-DIGI STAMP...."PINK and GREEN".

Well yet another week as rolled round,it's Friday which means it's time for another challenge at Dare U-2-Digi Stamp,this week we have a colour combo challenge of "Pink and Green",the DT have come up with some amazing creations again.

This week i wanted to try to do something alittle different with my digi image,this what i come up with....i'm not too happy with it and it didn't turn out quite like what i had in mind...but hey some you win,and some you don't :0).

I used Chris's (sketching Stamper) "Heart Of Hearts" image which is shown in the photo above resized to two different sizes and printed out 5 of each onto a sheet of Provocraft 12x12 paper which i cut to A4 to make printer friendly.These i then cut out,added alittle glamour dust to the swirls with a glue pen and slightly curled the edges and layered to form the petals of the flower using silicon glue,a large button and fancy thread for the centre and ribbon for the stem.

The extra little flowers were punched out of the same paper using a woodware and Xcut punch.

The sentiment is from a See D's set "Garden Of Friendship" and all other papers are BG "Sultry".

Hope you will all come and join us again this week,we've had a great response the last two weeks,with some gorgeous creations....thanks all who joined us it's very much appreciated.

This week there's a prize on offer of two downloads...one each of both Chris's and Sandra's digi images of your own choice :0).

That's about it....hope you all have a lovely day,

Take care
