Daring Card Makers Challenge - 6 or 7 S's

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week is

At least 6 or 7 S's!

I've made a work colleague a new home card as she recently moved into her own home!  Papers are from my stash and I've used a really lovely Tiddly Inks image, coloured with Promarkers.  And my S's are:

String, Stickles (on bubbles from heart), Shrubs, Steps, Stool, Shutters, Sentiment


The sentiment has been cut with a Cut and Create die from The Range.  She loved the card!  Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodles Challenge - Anything Goes or Halloween

It's time for a new Polkdoodles challenge and the theme is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to create something Halloween but I don't particularly like or celebrate Halloween so I went for autumn colours and theme.  I've used two papers from the lovely Butterfly Daisy 6x6 paper pack and just inked the edges a little more.   I used the Posydoodles Basics Ovals die to cut the vellum out behind the image plus from the offcuts of the vellum I've added some Butterflies and used some half pearls from my stash.  Oddella Bow has been coloured with Promarkers


Good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 38 - Oddball Stamps

Good luck with the challenge!

Daring Card Makers Challenge - Male

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week is

Male

I've used part of a kit from Dovecraft that I got years ago and still using it as making best use of all the different elements.  The letters with the kit were balsa wood so I've used them as a template to cut out some from kraft card.  Added some twine for extra detail


Good luck with the challenge!

 It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week is

Oh Baby!

I'm the hostess this week!  And I've used this fab Jellypark image which sadly is no longer available, coloured with Promarkers and I've handwritten the sentiment.  Papers are from my stash and I found the silver grey paper in there too.

Polkadoodles Challenge - Anything Goes or Christmas

It's time for a new Polkdoodles challenge and the theme is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to  a Christmas theme.  I've used the fab Gnome-men Snow Ho Ho clear acrylic stamps and used Promarkers to colour.  To keep it all nice and simple and with a clean look, I cut the image and then layered it using the Posydoodles Basics Square dies and a tag from Posydoodles Basics Tags die.  The wooden red star I've had in my stash for probably a decade and too the bakers twine!  Lightly embossed a line around the edge of the card and its done!



Good luck with the challenge!

Daring Card Makers Challenge - Inspirational Board

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week as it is the first Friday of the month is an Inspiration board



I've gone for the leaves, outdoors, the autumn theme, leaf pattern, the fruit shape represented by the button and the crinkliness of leaves in the paper ribbon I've used!  The image is a sadly retired Jellypark one which I've coloured with Promarkers and then used some papers I found in my stash.  I've handwritten the tag and used some paper ribbon for the bow and strip behind the image.  Button also from my stash


Good luck with the challenge!

Buttons and embroidery thread are from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!
