Anything Goes @ Aud Sentiments

Hi guys,

We have an anything goes challenge starting over at Aud Sentiments today - just don't forget about that sentiment!! I decided I wanted to create a Christmas card as I haven't made one in a while.

I used some toppers from my stash (probably Hunkydory but I cannot be 100% sure), and finished with a peel-off sentiment.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

More than One Layer @ I Love Promarkers

Hi guys,

We have a new challenge over at I Love Promarkers, and the twist this time is: More than One layer!! We are sponsored by the fabulous The Paper Shelter, and I have used Wearing Spring.

I used a heavily patterned base card as I thought it matched the image well. I die-cut, using X-cut nesting large labels dies, some leafy patterned paper, and the image, using X-cut large ovals nesting dies.

The image was coloured with the following promarker pens - Tawny Owl, Winter Berry, Oatmeal, Pink Carnation, Azure, Lemon, Primrose, Lime Green, Forest Green and Caramel.

I then added some diamantes to the edges and layered these panels together on the card base. Finally I added a die-cut butterfly and a flower topper.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Dragonfly Friends

Hi there,

i have made a friends postcard that I want to share with you today. As the Dragonflies are starting to be on the wing I thought these would make a lovely postcard.

I used a patterned stripy base and then simply added peel-offs. I coloured the body of the larger Dragonfly.

Anything goes @ Creative Moments

Hi guys,

Sorry I am late with this post - I am full of a cold so everything is taking a while today :( - sympathy very much needed!!

So anyway, we have a new challenge started today at Creative Moments, with no optional twist this time - so just Anything Goes :).

We have three sponsors (please pop along to the blog to see what they are offering as prizes) and I have used Nap Sentiments 2 from Dr Digi for my mini card.

This was really simple to make. I acquired some crafting stuff from my mum a while back and it included pre-cut squares of glitter card. I had no idea what I would use them for. Then I saw them when I was trying to think how best to use these sentiments. So I simply used three of them and added the sentiment on top! Nice simple card.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

SKETCH with a hidden image

Team B are hosting over at MAWTT for these next two weeks, and the theme is a sketch:

Here is what I created (as I do like to try and play along with Team B if I can :D):

I used some patterned papers out of my scraps box to make the layers, aded some lace to the top strip and stamped the sentiment from the Honey and Hugs Festive Christmas stamp set, using pretty colour purple ink. I also added some coloured pearls.

I wanted to include a hidden element in this card, so I made a fold in the top panel of patterned paper.

Underneath this I stamped the dragonfly and flower from Helz Cuppleditch Riverbank Revels set and coloured with Chameleon pens.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

intaas #59 Lace and Pearls

ikesworld #121 F for Fold

MMM #97 Interactive - Kinetic

Daring Cardmakers #104 Secret Hideaway

I would also like to share this lovely sight we had down on the local nature reserve:

Dandekitten wishes

Well my two on this card are certainly more kitten than lion lol. I wanted a CAS design and this is what I came up with:

So I used a lilac card blank and embossed the dandelion clock onto the front. I do love having my big shot pro for the odd occasion I decide to do something like this :). I inked the embossed design using a purple pretty colour ink. To finish I simply added kitten and sentiment peel-offs.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

IkesWorld - E for Embossing

SUYP #42 Furrything Goes

Simply Less is Moore #396 CAS embossing

TIOT - Make a mark

AlphabetChallenge - E for Embossing Folder

 Ninja - the cute little guinea pig (arble was hiding and refused to have her photo taken in this instance!)

Houdini (if she ever turns back up) - our recent Pink Toe addition that is nowhere to be found!!

Nature @ Aud Sentiments

Another DT post for you all - for our new challenge over at Aud Sentiments, sponsored by Fred, She Said.

The theme is Nature, and so I have used Doodled Floral Corner for my card.

I had this leaf patterned card in my stash that I got several years ago and I thought it would be perfect for a nature themed card. I coloured the panel with Promarkers after laying out how I wanted it on the computer, and adding the sentiment to the centre. I added a die-cut butterfly with pearls down the centre, and some paper flowers.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

PFP #495 Add gems/pearls

Die-cuttin' Divas #422 Tic-tac-toe (Gems - Insect(well kinda) - Fav technique (colouring)

Addicted to stamps #174 Flowers (there is a dragonfly stamped onto the flower, as well as the main digital stamp)

Thanks for looking and we hope you can join in with our challenge,
