Something New

Good Afternoon, it's horrible here in the Northern Isles today - dark, wet and windy.  Just the sort of day to do some crafting.  My card is for CraftyAnn'sChalleng Blog - What's New Pussycat, requiring something new on your card a technique or new stash.  Mine is stash, but I have been very good and still haven't bought any new stash yet this year  - mind you it is still only January lol. The images and backing paper are from Joanna Sheen's From the Heart of the Garden CD which I bought last year when it was launched.  Today, I finally took off the shrink wrap and had a look at it!!!  The butterflies are from a cut and emboss Cuttlebug set, the gems are from my stash.
I am also entering my card into the Ooh La La Challenge - Seeing Double - use two images the same.

Thanks you very much for visiting today

Beyblades

Hi folks,  I seem to have missed a few challenges this week, not sure why.  My card to share today is for the Totally Papercrafts Challenge - Anything But Christmas.  My card is for my grandson who has a birthday on the 21st December, he is into Beyblades at the moment.  The image came from somewhere on the internet, courtesy of  Google, the backing paper is from Boys to Men cd by Ooh La La Creations.  I used Lapis Stardream for the base card, matting, letters and number all die cut with a Sissix alphabet.

Many thanks for visiitng and for any comments you may wish to make,  I do so love to read them.

Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend

Oops late on parade tonight, completely forgot to post my card, which is for the challenge at Ooh La La Creations - Lots of Sparkle.  The image is a Debbi Moore Stamp, coloured with Copics, the bp is from  Papermania Capsule Collection, as is the ribbon. The flower, aurora crystal gems and matting card all come from my stash, the sentiment is computer generated and I added some Stickles Stardust to her bracelets and necklace.  The yellows all look different in the pic, but in real life they do all match, and the gems and Stickles do sparkle. The card is for a friend of my daughter and the only brief was it had to be yellow.

Many thanks for visiting

Black and Blue

Good Afternoon from a gloriously sunny Shetland, it is absolutely beautiful got all the doors and windows open.  I also had a problem taking the pic of my card because it is so bright.  My card is for this week's CD Sunday Challenge - Black and Blue.  The backing paper is from Debbi Moore's Art Deco Christmas cd from last year, the image is from Chocolate Baroque, stamped with archival blank ink onto a piece of card in my white scrap box.  The flower is from my stash and I cut the swirl out from an offcut of blue card.

I am also entering my card into Jules' Crafty Snippet Challenge and Ooh La La Creations - Punches or DieCuts

I hope you like my card and many thanks for your visit.

Silent Night

Good Afternoon, sorry I've been awol again.  The Labrynthitis took hold when I finished the meds I got from the doctor, trouble was it was over the weekend so couldn't get more pills until Monday afternoon.  They are kicking in again now, but am still spinning around a bit.  So apologies for not visiting and commenting on your blogs, will hopefully be able to manage a few later on this evening.

My card to share is for this week's Less is More - Things That Move. I think my stable scene and star both fit into that category.  The is my 6th attempt, I was trying to gold emboss everything and made a complete pigs ear of  it.  Finally, gave up the embossing and decided to work with black and white and I got the card made in about 15 minutes!!       The image is a Hobby Art stamp that I found in a sale box in my local craft shop, the star is Clarity both stamped with Archival Black ink and and matted onto some black card from my box, the sentiment is computer generated.

I am also entering my card into these challenges:
Bah Humbug Challenge - Something New, both of my stamps; and
Ooh La La Creations - No background papers.

I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting.

Second Graduation Card

Good Evening, my card today is the second Graduation card that I mentioned yesterday.  I have followed Sketch 64 over at Sketch and Stash.  The new element for my card is the image which I bought from Crafts u Print especially for this card as I didn't have anything suitable.  The backing papers are from CuddlyBuddly taken into Craft Artist to change the colours to black and white.  Everything else came from my stash and the sentiment is computer generated.

I am also entering my card into the challenge at Ooh La La Creations - Father's Day/ Special Man.  I am sure a newly graduated young man is a Special Man.

Thank for you for visiting and the amazing comments you have left me recently, they are really special and mean so much

A Man Card

Good Afternoon, my card to share with you today is a man card, which fits two challenges.  Ooh La La and MAWTT are both asking for male themed cards.  The image has been compiled with a few Stampscapes stamps and coloured with distress inks and ink dusters.  Can't tell what colours because it was a piece I did months ago and found again this morning.  The papers are all from the CuddlyBuddly Portfolio range.  The colours are supposed to be shades of denim, but they look grey in the pic.  All my pics lately seem to be a bit on the pale side, the camera on my new phone isn't as good as the last one, will have to do a bit more editing!
I finished the card off with some card candy and computer generated sentiment.

Thanks for taking a look

Oranges and Lemon

Good Morning. It's a beautiful morning here, blue sky and sunshine with just a few clouds dotted around.  Hope it lasts.

April Showers

Hi folks, sorry to have been absent for such a long time.  My card today is my GD card for the new challenge at   Ooh La La Creations, which is April Showers.  The image is Whiff of Joy - Willow with Umbrella, coloured with my Copics and some Stickles on the raindrops.  The bp is Ooh La La Shoes in Bloom, the ribbon was part of a Secret Santa gift from a forum friend, the text is computer generated.

2nd GD Card for Ooh La La

Good Morning, here is my second card as GD with Ooh La La Creations.  I can't believe it's been ten days since my last post and that I am so far behind with my blog visiting.  I wasn't very well last week and my energy levels seem to have deserted me.  I'm beginning to pick up now, so hopefully, will be back posting and visiting normally.

The challenge this week at Ooh La La is A Bow, A Button and Some Bling.  I was fine with the the bow and my bling isn't very blingy (?) just some gold coloured pearls, but the button threw me. I tried to stick it onto the bow, but it was too heavy for the organza ribbon so I ended up just putting it onto the stamped sentiment.  I don't have many buttons and very rarely use them.  I've have just been and checked out the DT's cards and they have been much more artistic with their buttons.  Do check out their cards they are gorgeous.

I the image and bp come from the Femme Fatal cd.  I used opal Stardream for the base card and didn't want to use anything white on the card, so I printed the bp onto cream paper.  The bling, the bow and button all came from my stash.

I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting me today

Love

There are loads of Valentine's challenges out there this week, which is a bit of a shame for me, cos I only have one ordered and don't send them myself. So, I was quite happy to see that Ooh-la-la-Creations are asking for 'Love', this can be any kind of love, so my Wedding Card will hopefully fit the bill. The image is from Elusive Images stamped and embossed onto Opal Stardream card and then 3d'd onto nesties. The bp is from Sharon Duncan's latest Embossibilities cd printed onto Stardream paper. The leaves are punched and the flower, ribbon and flower gems come from my craft box. I sprayed the topper and the flower with Crafter's Companion gold glitter spray to give them a bit of oomph. The sentiments were computer generated and printed onto the Opal Stardream card and heat embossed with detail gold ep.

I think I can also enter my card into Crafty Ann's Metal Challenge this week. I have used Gold Mirror Card, Gold Embossing Powder and Gold Glitter Spray

Thanks for taking the time to visit and for leaving such great comments, which I love

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and also for any comments you may wish to make.

I have followed Sketch21 from Sketch and Stash, used the colours required for Dare U 2 Digi Stamp - Orange, Yellow, Black or White (I've used both) and finally the challenge over at Ooh-la-la-Creations is to use three shapes on your card. I have used rectangles, circles on the bp and a diamond border punch. The bp is from Funky Fairys and Artylicious, the image is from Charmed Cards and has been coloured with Copics, the gems, flower and mirror card all come from my stash.

Thank you for dropping by and for the wonderful comments you leave, I appreciate every one.

One card, two challenges

Today's card is for two challenges: firstly Friday Sketchers and secondly Ooh-la-la Creations which is for stripes. The background paper I have had for ages I think it's DCWV. The image is from Elusive Images stamp plates as are the baseball boots, skateboard (shrink plastic) and the Cool Dude stamp. The name and numbers were stamped with a Papermania Alphabet set. I have coloured in using my Promarkers. The central panels are from a playing session I had a while ago with Moon Shadow Mists. I hope you like my card and many thanks for stopping by and for all of the comments you leave, which are always appreciated. Beryl x

ATC

This is my first ever ATC and I have made it for the Ooh-la-la Creations Challenge which is 'Small is Beautiful'. The image is cut from a larger picture on Joanna Sheen's Victorian Companion cd and mounted onto lapiz stardream. I stamped the card with a soft blue script stamp which I think is an Aspects of Design one from The Stampman sorry it didn't scan very well. I finished it off with some very pale pearl gems which was one of the last things I bought from Lakeland before they stopped doing crafty stuff. Thank you very much for visiting my blog. Beryl x
