LESS IS MORE WK6...."OFF THE EDGE"....

This week over at LESS IS MORE the challenge is a one layer card "Off the edge".....well i was over the moon yesterday when my DT stamps arrived from PINK GEM DESIGNS and i could get to play and these i think are perfect for this weeks challenge.
The stamps i've used are all from Janet's new "FUNKY FLOWERS" set....they are gorgeous!...an A6 stamp set with no less than 10 stamps...these are a must have and brilliant if you like the CAS look.
I've used a Versafine "Imperial Purple" ink pad and stamped directly onto cream cardstock...the stems of the flowers are off the edge...the actual stamp is slightly longer.
To give you some sense of size of the stamps the cards are all 4x4...i've actually made 6...2 of each of the designs...a perfect set of notelets...only took a photo of the 3 different designs,and i couldn't really get a good photograph :0(. PLEASE CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO GET A BETTER LOOK.
The sentiment also comes from this same stamp set.
Gem's,button's and waxed thread from stash....the gem on the middle card looks more blue but it is a deep purple...must have been how the light was catching it.

Now Janet's giving a set of these stamps away on her blog.....check it out HERE.

Well that's about it again for now..later today posting i've been to the hospital this morning with my son...just routine check-up.
Take care

U ROCK....

Sheena's our host this week over at POLLYCRAFT.....and the theme she's set for us is "TEEN'S".
I somehow found this a difficult one...i couldn't come up with anything for a girl so i think i went with the easier option on this one....one for the lad's!
I've used "Ethan Rockstar"....coloured with Promarkers and Prisma's,cut out and mounted onto the background square using Pinflair glue gel.
I used a Polka Doodles CD "Not For The Girls" for the background papers...i've printed onto super smooth cardstock 200gsm.
The textured cardstock is DCWV.
The star ribbon slider is Papermania,ribbon and brads from stash.....and i'm really not at all sure were the studded letters came from...i was happy when i found these in my bits and bobs box and even more so because they were just the colour i needed :0)...it's not very often everything falls into place so easily.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges :-
SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY....perfect sketch Arlana...just what i needed,thank you :0).

Well that's about it for now .....hope you'll all come and join in the fun at POLLYCRAFT,we are sponsored by THE CREATIVE COTTAGE this week and a fab prize up for grabs for the lucky winner....can i join in...LOL.

JUST FOR YOU....

Morning all....weekend again,can someone tell me who's pinching the weeks!.....but it does mean that we have a new sketch for you over at SKETCH SATURDAY...and a fabby one it is too...thanks Jo.
I used one of the recently released MELJEN DESIGNS digi images..."Cherry Hedgehog",this along with so many more digi images can be purchased at WHIMSY STAMPS.
I've used Promarkers and Prisma's as my colouring mediums...it's getting a bit boring,must have a change soon!I've added extra spikes to him using a Memento dual marker in Tuxedo Black,which i purchased from PINK GEM DESIGNS.
The papers are a download from CUDDLY BUDDLY from the "Cottage Garden" set and the sentiment is also CUDDLY BUDDLY from the "Round Greetings Set 2".
The cherries have been cut using a die from the Marianne Designs "Cupcake" die set and i've added some CRAFTERS COMPANION "Spray & Shine"
Ribbon from stash

LESS IS MORE WEEK 5......PASTEL COLOURS.

Over at LESS IS MORE (Week 5) this week there's a colour theme of "PASTELS"....i so love the look of the cards produced on this challenge blog...just clean and simple but still so very gorgeous!
This is only the second time i've joined in the fun...i so wanted to enter this challenge weekly...so little time,so much to do!
I've gone again today for a shaped card,both the base card and the top layer have been cut using the largest die from the Spellbinders "Nested Eggs"die set...not a very big card at all,just a pretty little one maybe to give with an Easter egg or an Easter gift.
The patterned egg as been stamped using the largest stamp from the "Nestie Egg" set from Waltzing Mouse,the sentiment is also from this same set.
I've stamped using a Versamark Ink pad and then brushed Mica powders in pale pink,lilac and green over the stamped area,the same with the sentiment...looks really shimmery IRL .
I've added tiny self adhesive gems in the same colours just to give alittle interest...i wish i'd have used pearls now.
Finished off with some organza ribbon from stash.

I'm also entering this card into the following challenge:-
MY TIME TO CRAFT....Jewels!

Well that's about all for today again...the sun's shinning beautifully here,couldn't get a good photo because of it....not complaining it's nice to see that yellow ball in the sky :0).
Have a fab day
Take care all

OUT OF THIS WORLD....

"Fly Me To The Moon" is this week's theme over at POLLYCRAFT....and it's Paula's week to host,and she is also giving away 10 digi's to the lucky winner.....so well worth joining in!
When i first saw the challenge theme i can tell you my heart sank....i didn't really know what i was going to do....then i suddenly remembered this rocket template on one of my Polka Doodles CD's "Paper Boutique 3" and problem solved :0).
Both the rocket and the space papers are from this CD,i always print onto 160 or 200gsm super smooth cardstock....having said that i have just purchased some linen cardstock so will be having a go with that soon.
The POLLYCRAFT image is a new addition to the Critters & Cogs collection and this little chappie is "Nova"...i've coloured him using Promarkers and Prisma's,cut him out and 3d'd him using Pinflair glue gel.
The sentiment is also POLLYCRAFT from the Critters & Cogs "Sentiments" clear stamp set.


I'm entering this card into the following challenge:-
CRAFTY PURPLE FROG CHALLENGE....Fly away with us.

Well that's about it again for now....hope you'll come and join in the fun this week at POLLYCRAFT.
