November Bingo Challenge at Catch the Bug

Good morning, it's time for our monthly Bingo Challenge at Catch the Bug, I made a card featuring  the fabulous Heels -Big Bows using Sentiment/ Embossing/Sparkle

I've coloured the image with copics and added a tiny gem to the bows. The black background is embossed as is the black panel behind the image (difficult to see in photo!) The tiny red gems are stuck on individually (took ages, very fiddly!)The sentiment is stamped.  There's loads more inspiration for you over at Catch the Bug, so do hop over and take a peek.

Thanks for visiting

enjoy your weekend!

Crafty Catz #483 -optional twist- Birthday

Good morning, the weekend is almost here and it's time for our weekly challenge at Crafty Catz. Our sponsor this week is  Colour Of Love

It's Billie's turn to host and she's picked the theme of Birthdays- as always, the theme is optional.

I used a sweet sponsor image called Rory Heart You, which I've coloured with copics, glossy accents to some of the balloons on the image. I've added a few pearls, a stamped sentiment and die cut balloons. 

There are some gorgeous cards made by my teamies using these sweet images over at Crafty Catz, so do hop over and take a look, hope to see play along this week.

Thanks for visiting and have a good day

Add some sparkle at Fab'n' Funky

Here's my second card for today, over at Fab'n' Funky the theme , chosen this week  by our lovely Susan , is - add some sparkle. I thought I'd make something other than a christmas card so I coloured up this sweet Mo Manning fairy. I used a Gelly Roll sparkle pen to add the sparkle to the image and stamped sentiment.

Trees

Good morning, I've two cards to share today. The first one is for our November Challenge at Sweet Stampin' Christmas   the theme for this month is trees. I made a simple aperture card with an embossed panel and acetate window. I die cut 4 trees from a gold coloured card for the frames and piece of card coloured with brushos for the inside panels. I tree adhered to front of card, the other 3 inside. The die cut sentiment is Tim Holtz.

This is the penultimate challenge for this year...time is fast running out! If you're looking for inspiration there's plenty to see over at CaSS, and of course we'd love to have you play along and inspire us with your own beautiful creations.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back later with my second card.

Make your own background at Sweet Stampin' Challenges

Good morning and happy weekend, my card today is my DT make for this week's challenge at Sweet Stampin', the theme is 'make your own background'. I have a fabulous stamp that I was itching to use- given to me by one of my lovely Sweet Stampin' teamies- thanks again Sammy, you are such a generous lady!. This was the perfect opportunity to have a play! The background is a combination of brushos and  black distress ink through a stencil. I stamped the fabulous image with black Versafine Clair and added a few music themed stamped images and  die cuts. The sentiment is stamped onto an offcut of the brusho paper. I added a few metallic star brads.

I really enjoyed making this card, it's so good to play with inks and stamps and seeing what evolves! 

Thanks for stopping by, don't forget to hop over to Sweet Stampin' to see what my lovely teamie have been up to, we would love to see what you create for this challenge!

Have a great weekend

Crafty Catz Challenge # 482- Anything goes/Christmas!

Good morning, this week's challenge at Crafty Catz is up and running! Aunty Sue, our lovely boss lady, is hosting this week - she picked the theme of Christmas.

We have a fabulous sponsor for this challenge- JMC Designs

who provided the DT with some fabulous images to use- love these quirky digis!

I chose to use Northern Hights, which I've coloured with Copics including the night sky, added the snow with a white gel pen. I made a circular card, embellished with snowflake and sentiment die cuts, a bow and glittery button. 

There are plenty more lovely creations made with these whimsical digis over on the challenge blog, so please do make time to take a look! I hope you'll be inspired to play along...it doesn't have to Christmas themed- anything goes at Crafty Catz.
