Oranges and Lemons

My card today is for Rainbow Lady's Challenge, which is a recipe this week. 1 Fairy, 1 Circle, 1 Ribbon, 1 piece of black card 1 or more stamps and if you are feeling adventurous a shaped card. Sorry Cynthia not feeling too adventurous today. The image is from Prairie Fairy and coloured with my Copics and I have glittered the wings. The backing papers are Funky Fairy, the black and mirror card comes from my craft box as did the white ribbon which I have coloured with the same colour pen that I used for my fairy's dress. The stamp is the daisy on Carol's Cube from Stamp Addicts.

I have also followed the Sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday and am entering my card into the Papertake Weekly Challenge - Check this Out.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Back again

I made this card for a forum friend's birthday and have been waiting for a challenge in which I could enter it. This week The Pink Elephant is asking for Ribbon so my card fits the bill. The image is another stamp from the Wild Meadow unmounted plate by Elusive Images. Once again I used my Tombow Pens directly on the stamp, the edging was done using the Field of Sky stamp from Stamp Addicts. The bp is a Cuddly Buddly download - and as you can see it matches this stamp perfectly. Everything else, ribbon, gold beads and mirror card came from my stash. I finished the card with a simple peel off greeting on a nestie tag.

Thank you very much for visiting and for the wonderful comments you leave.

Got Lucky

I got lucky this week with Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Wheels. I have had this topper made for ages and never found a use for it. The image is from Stamp Addicts as is the Checkered Flag, which is stamped onto shrink plastic, and I have no idea what I coloured in with, but looking at the finish it wasn't Promarkers. The cardstock and papers are from my stash. I made the card a couple of weeks ago for my DD to send to her Grandad at the beginning of next month. Thank you so much for visiting my blog, I hope you like my card. Beryl x

Second Post For Today

I'm catching up with the challenges at last and here are another two that I have done today. The first one is for the new Sketch and Stash Challenge. For this card I have used some gorgeous blue silk mirri card from Joanna Sheen, some paper from my stash box which I think is Papermania and the image is from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Companion CD which is one that I keep coming back to time and time again. The embellishments are from my stash again, I think the flower was a cover gift from a craft mag ages ago.



My second card is for this week's Friday Sketchers. I needed a card for a man and once again I went back to Joanna Sheen's Victorian Companion CD for the image and the co-ordinating backing paper. I used Judikins sports ball cube from Stamp Addicts and used cricket balls instead of flowers, the backing card came from my off-cuts box and I have no idea where it came from, but it has the most gorgeous golden sheen I think it might be one of the newer stardream colours. Unfortunately I've haven't got any more of it. Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for the fantastic comments that you have been leaving. They inspire me to try different techniques, and to persevere when I get 'one of those days'. Thanks again, Beryl x
PS I have only just noticed the shine on the photo of this card really sorry about that, the text reads 'owat!!' Beryl x

Friday Sketchers

My card today is for Friday Sketchers. The Papers are from Cardmakers Christmas Pad. The image is a Judikins stamp from Stamp Addicts. It can't be seen in the photo but I have used Kaleidoscope ep and it has turned the blue ink into some amazing colurs, especially when the light hits it. I hope you like it.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Beryl x

Sketch No. 24

Today's card is for Sketch Saturday's Sketch No.24. The colour scheme was dictated by my choice of backing paper from DCWV Rose Tinted Stack. The stamp is a Judikins one from Stamp Addicts. I stamped with Versamark and embossed using Lavender Twinkle ep also Judikins from Stamp Addicts. The image is matted onto purple punch stardream card, which is also used for the vertical strip element of the sketch and embossed with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. The ribbon came from my craft box along with the Happy Christmas stamp. I hope you like my card and thank you very much for looking in. Beryl x

Finally

Well, I've finally managed to make a card. This one is for Rainbow Lady's challenge this week, which is to make a card using just one colour from the rainbow. I've chosen green. The paper is one that has been in my craft box for ages, I think it is from DCWV. The Christmas Tree stamp is from Stamp Addicts and it is a Judikins one stamped with green Stazon. I used a stipple brush with a green inkpad to form the background and then used Stickles Green and Diamond Glitter Glue to add a bit of sparkle - which doesn't really show up in the picture. The text is a stamp from One Four Zero, and the ribbon came from Joanna Sheen. I hope you like my card and many thanks for stopping by. Beryl x
