Tatty Teddy

This little Tatty Teddy image is a new addition to my craft stash, I just couldn't resist, just lovely. I've made a wiper card which I spotted on someone else blog this morning whilst hopping around blogland. I thought it was just a little bit different than the norm. The stamp is coloured with copics and promarkers with a little added glaze pen on the pot and his nose. The papers are basic grey from 2 different collections, I've added a little bit of faux stitching to the mats to highlight. A couple of flowers from my stash with brads in the centre.

Here comes the Bride.....


I've made a wedding card nothing to do with the Royal wedding but just because I wanted to and it fits several challenges I wanted to entered as well so that's a bonus.

I've made an 8" x 8" card, using paper from Basic Grey which I've distressed with distress inks and glimmer mists and then sanded the edges, over the top, added a vellum from papermania which I've also distressed with inks and glimmer mist. The image is from TeddyBo which is in sepia and I've lightly coloured washed with aquamarkers and distress inks, I've also added a little bit of glaze pen to the windscreen.
The tags are a big shot die, the flowers are made from a nestie die, which I've distress with inks and glimmer mists and then cut and rolled into a rose shape, to fix and add a little extra glitter I've sprayed with glitter spray from crafters companion.
It's for the following challenges:


Well, enjoy your long Easter break, think of me who will be working! (I've got Sunday off so it's not all bad)

1 for 3 challenges




This one is for 3 Challenges, it was going to be 4 but I missed the deadline on for All that Scraps sketch challenge this week. So this is for Cupcake crafts red & green, Allsorts, buttons and Cute Card Thursday, Snips, snails & Puppy dog tails ( card for a younger boy) I've used Doodlebug papers from a couple Christmasses ago with buttons, sequins, brads and cardstock stickers all also from doodlebug. The image is from All that scraps December digi's coloured with copics and sakura graze and stardust pens then sprinkled with glitter whilst still wet. You can't see the glitter that well in the picture but it's there!

I'm off out with my parents to do a little Christmas shopping later on, deep joy, hate it, not my parents just the Christmas shopping bit! Have a wicked Wednesday xxx

Digital images


Now I have just fallen in love with using digital images, just so easy, resize, print as many as you need again and again no fuss or hassle. Also they're great to colour in with copics.
This card is for cupcake craft's challenge this week which is to use digital images this one is from All that scraps. The sketch is from stamp something but I've missed the challenge no time to craft this week really, well not for challenges anyway had orders to fulfill from my card party last week. Anyway the papers are from Polka doodles jingle jangle christmas cd with some mirror board.

The papers are from crate paper 'Samantha collection'. The button were a gift from my mum bought back from a recent holiday.

Now I've sorted out some of the techo problems I can craft!!!


This is for two challenges Sketch & stash and Cupcake crafts.
Sketch and stash asks you to use new stash or long unused stash. This is new stash, Miss Anya stamps from the greeting farm popped through my letter box today ( I was going to say morning but my postman never seems to make the morning!) these are part of my belated birthday gift from my husband. I've coloured with copics (see selection behind bottom photo) The Cupcake craft part of the card is Pearls and Swirls which is from the Pink Petticoat paper and diecut swirl and I didn't have any pearl brad in the right colour so I used liquid pearls in silver pearl instead.

Two challanges in one.....

Well I thought I'd try a 2 for 1, This is for Mojo Monday's sketch and Cupcake craft's red, white and blue challenges. I downloaded for Pink Petticoat on Sunday the new Frillie Millies images and this is Bonbon. She's so cute, coloured with copics, not that happy with the background paper should have printed some more off one of my pink petticoat cd's really! Anyway it made me use colours that I don't normally use which is good.

Anyway my daughter is home for the week now so choas rains at home!

Cupcake craft challenge wk 55

Now on finding my mojo (see my last post) I have been on a roll, so here's another challenge.
This weeks cupcake craft challenge is 3 buttons, 2 papers & 1 ribbon. I've used my new Polka doodles cd's again as I'd printed off soooo many (Once started found it v hard to stop!!??) cheated a little with the ribbon it's a paper ribbon with real organza ribbon struck on top. Also added a bit of bling with some stick on gems. The sentiment is from stash, craftwork cards I think?

Cupcake craft challenge 41




This challenge was great fun to do, I'd been playing with some of the features on my printer (not being that technical n'all!) and discovered I could put some than one image on a sheet (doh! I hear you cry!) so I used the two colours that printed together on one sheet as my inspiration.
the papers are from 'One in a melon' from Pink petticoat and images shrunk from pink petticoat 'Lola Rose' occasions. I coloured with my whisper pens and sakura pens. Ribbons, flowers and brads from stash, Dew drops from The glitter pot. I cheated a bit with the 2 ribbons bit by using two different colours instead, hope that doesn't count me out?

I used stamp from Rachel Ann Miller range, coloured with whispers pens and H2o's to highlight the image, papers are Basic grey and Pink Petticoat, ribbons, flowers, brads and buttons from stash.

Hope you like it?
