Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 16 - All Dressed Up Stamps

 It's time for a new Colour Crazy Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps and I've used one of the images from Wear With Style and I've used Promarkers to colour.  Papers are from my stash and I think they are old Funky Hand digital papers that I've had for quite a long time!  As I'm on a stash ban (I have far too much) I'm trying to use up what I have.

I've used a white gel pen for highlighting on the papers and the half pearls are from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!

I've made a modern Fairy Tale using this cute image from All Dressed Up Stamps - Prosecco Time, which I've coloured with Promarkers and a touch of glitter glue. The papers and embellishments are all from my stash and are oddments left over from previous projects - I'm on a stash ban so trying to use up what I have as I think I have too much!!

Good luck with the challenge!

Good luck with the challenge!

This week we are sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps and I've used Christmas Present, coloured with Promarkers and glitter glue.  I found the papers in my stash and decided to use them as the colour base for the image.  I cut the image and the sentiment using Spellbinder dies with the ribbons and half pearl from my stash.

Can't remember the name of the sentiment stamp I've used and to finish, I've added a scored border around the edge of the card.

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 24 - All Dressed Up

It's time for a new Colour Crazy Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps and I couldn't decide which image to use so I've gone for both!  First up is Two Little Mice which I'e coloured with pencils, distressed the papers (found in my stash and it was the perfect size and match with the ribbon!) and added the ribbon from my stash.

And I've used Fairy Magic as well, coloured with Promarkers and a little bit of glitter on her wings and the butterflies.  The papers I found in my stash and were all offcuts so I've had to be creative in how I added them to the card base!  Ribbon and embroidery thread are from my stash.

Going Out

Here is the first of two new releases from Jellypark - this one is called All Dressed Up and I've coloured it with Promarkers.

The main backing paper is from Funky Hand (can't tell you which cd or download, as I found it at the bottom of my stash!) and the sparkly patterned paper is actually a pack of wrapping paper that I bought a few years ago as its really pretty (and I got lots of it for just over £1!!)

The flower is also from the wrapping paper pack and I think it was the tag - I just cut round the flower and took the ribbon off! I've added some pink floss and tied it in a bow and dotted some liquid pearls to the top corner.

I'll blog the other new release tomorrow so don't forget to check back to see what it is (unless you've already seen it on the Jellypark blog!!)

We are half way through another karting weekend and Jacob stunned us today with a lap time of 30.167 seconds - he knocked 0.6 seconds off his previous fastest lap and that was with a rather dodgy kart to start with - the clutch broke half way through the session and he was quickly back out in a different kart. Samuel has the second round of the Inkart championship tomorrow - he came 6th last month in his group so we are hoping he can improve on his times and also placing!

Samuel was awarded the Headmaster Award yesterday at school for being a polite and hardworking boy in Mr Cumbo's lesson the day before (the Headmaster teaches) and he also passed his Martial Arts grading and now is red belt - last colour before black!

Never a dull moment in our house!
