Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 38 - Oddball Stamps

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

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Oddball Stamps and I've used one of the many images from the Creepy Cute Rainstorm set and coloured the rainbow and clouds with Promarkers.  I found some perfect papers in my stash which were from Funky Hand and are sadly no longer available and then added some half pearls also from my stash.

Good luck with the challenge!

Daring Card Makers Challenge - April Elemental Inspiration

It's time for a new Daring Card Makers challenge and the theme this week, as it is the first Friday of the month is an elemental inspirational theme:

Don't forget that you need to use at least three elements in your creation, colour counts as one choice.

I've used cloud, rain drops, rainbow and wording.  I've used a Polkadoodles Fluffy Clouds die and then made a shaker card with some seed beads I had in my stash.  The sentiment is one I've had for lifetime and is from There She Goes and the rainbow paper is from Funky Hand - Keep In Touch download which is no longer available.

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Creative Fingers:  Anything Goes
Cute Card Thursday:  Anything Goes

Crafters Galore Encore:  Anything Goes
Fab n Funky:  April Showers

A cute card using up some of my stash - the paper is from a no longer available download from Funky Hand called Keep In Touch and I've added a Dr Digi Cuddly Critters Elephant which I've coloured with Promarkers and then stuck to the card blank using foam pads.

I've handwritten the sentiment on the speech bubble that was part of the paper download.

I Love Promarkers - Challenge 381 - Knitty Kitty Digis

Time for another I ❤ Promarkers challenge!  This fortnight we are sponsored by the lovely Knitty Kitty Digis and the theme is

Something Square

I've gone for a square card base and have used one of the images from the Balloon Chicken Set and coloured it with Promarkers.  I've layered the image onto a scrap of yellow card I found in my stash and the sentiment has been created on my computer.

The stripy paper is from my almost dwindling pile of old printed papers that I need to use up - its from the no longer available Funky Hand - Keep In Touch download.  I've added a faux running stitch around the edge of the card, sentiment and image with a black fineliner pen.

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Aud Sentiments:  Easter / Spring Sentiment
Seize The Birthday:  Anything Goes
Simon Says Wednesday:  Animal Antics
Watercooler Wednesday:  Anything Feminine Goes
Passion For Promarkers:  Make It Cute

Poor U!

Here is a quick ready to use image that I've printed from Dr Digi - Emogeez - Sick.  I've added one of the sentiments to the top of the card with trusty cocktail sticks and I've used an offcut of printed card from my stash - Funky Hand - Keep In Touch download which is now retired and no longer available.

A bit of faux stitching around the edge of the card and its complete!  I'd like to enter the following:

Lemon Shortbread:  Anything Goes

Little Miss Muffet Challenge 191 - Inspiration

We're part way through the current Little Miss Muffet challenge and here is some more inspiration for the Anything Goes theme.  I've used Polka Dot Pals Tazanna who I've coloured with Promarkers and used retired papers from Funky Hand called Keep In Touch.

The sentiment has been cut using dies from Clearly Besotted and I've added some paper ribbon I found in my stash along with the flower charm.

I've used Inner Tube Birdbrain Chick and coloured it with Promarkers and watercolour pencils.  The papers are Funky Hand - Keep In Touch which is no longer available; I've hand written the Sizzix tag and the button and embroidery thread are from my stash.

From The Heart Stamps Sketch 155

It's time for a new From The Heart Stamps sketch with a twist challenge!  I've used Inner Tube Birdbrain, coloured with Promarkers and glossy accents and the papers are from Funky Hand - Keep In Touch which are no longer available.  The speech bubble is also from the paper set and I've hand written the sentiment.

I've added blingy half pearls plus dotted liquid pearls around the edge of the card, papers and image.  The sketch is below along with the twist - you can follow either the sketch or the twist or do both but please remember to use a FTHS.

From The Heart Stamps Blog Hop - Sweet Treats!

Welcome to the April From The Heart Stamps Blog Hop!  We've moved the start of the hop to a Monday and it will end at 6am EST on Sunday 10 April.

As you hop through each of the DT, don't forget to leave a comment to be in with a chance of being selected to win an image of your choice from the store.

There is a little twist this month - as you hop through, count up the number of sequins used on each creation.  When you've hopped all the way through email Faith faith@fromtheheartstamps.com with your answer and the winner will receive $15 to spend in the store!

I've used Full of Beans Birdbrain, coloured with Promarkers and then layered onto a panel of Funky Hand papers - Keep in Touch download (retired).  The sentiment comes with the stamp and that's also been layered.

I've used an offcut of card left over from making square cards for the base - I have a fair few of these strips hanging around so I'd better use them!  I've finished off with a fine liner black pen faux running stitch around the edge of the image and sentiment.

Good luck with the hop!  If you've arrived at me from Michelle then you are on the right track!  Don't forget to leave me a comment before you hop back to the blog.  The winner of each blog comment and the overall winner will be posted on the blog on Wednesday 13 April.
