Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 32 - Fred She Said

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

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Fred She Said and I've used this cute Rosey With Flower digi and coloured with Promarkers.  All the papers were pre printed and I found them in my stash and I think that they are all from Funky Hand - I Do Download which is sadly no longer available.

I've added some embroidery thread and half pearls from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 16 - Fred She Said

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

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Fred She Said and I've used the African Violets stamp, coloured it with Promarkers and then layered onto Polkadoodles Squarey Swirly Hearts die.  I've added foam pads behind the image and the layering square for extra depth.

To finish, I've scored a border around the edge and used a Ladybug Inks stamp.  Good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 19 - Fred She Said

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

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Fred She Said and I've used both sponsor images.  First one is Nolan with Sign, coloured with Promarkers and I've handwritten the sentiment.  Papers are from my stash and I've used offcuts of card with an X Cut star die.  The little boy charm is from my stash.

And the second card I've used Happy Flowers.  Again I've coloured with Promarkers but decoupaged the largest flower, adding glitter and seed beads to the centres.  I've used papers I found in my stash, liquid pearl dots round the edges plus pink organza ribbon also from my stash.

Thanks

I can't find if I've blogged these cards before, I have a feeling I've not as the photos were uncropped and unfaffed with as I've just found them on my pc.  These were made before the school summer holidays and were thank you cards for 5 of Jacob's teachers (I had strict instructions as to who they were for!)

A simple Nesties die cut through the centre with the image on the inside.  It's a Fred She Said image which I printed onto the same linen effect white card, coloured with Aquamarkers and then cut out with the same Nesties die and then carefully added it to the inside of the card so it all matched up.

I inked around the edge of the die cut shape with a black inkpad and stamped the sentiment which was a magazine freebie directly onto the front of the card.  Some thin red organza ribbon and they are complete!

At least I have a good few months before I need to start thinking about what to make for the end of the school year!

I'm determined to keep up with the Card A Day blogging and I've set myself the target of all of November and December too!  Eeek!  Hence the rather non seasonal cards I've just found photos of!  Normal service will be resumed tomorrow with a Jellypark filled weekend!

Fetch A Sketch Challenge 33

It's time for another Fetch A Sketch challenge!  I'm am the hostess this fortnight and here is my sketch:

I know it looks a little complicated and I wondered if I'd be able to make it work but after a bit of thinking I came up with this!  I've used a pre coloured Fred She Said image - Angel Patience and added her to a scalloped circle die along with some vellum Marianne Creatables snowflakes.

The backing paper I've had in my stash for ages so much so that I found it at the bottom of the shoe box so it must have been there quite some time!  The little snowflakes are punches.  I've made and handwritten the banner for a personalised Christmas card.

Good luck with the Fetch A Sketch challenge - hope you can join us!

Three Hearts

I won a gift certificate for Fred, She Said as part of the Digital Tuesday blog hop a few weeks ago, and although I had heard of Fred, She Said, never looked into it. Anyway, I choose the images I wanted and here is one of them! I've used the pre coloured version (because there were lots of pretty colours!) of Patience the Angel. I've layered her dress and that's about it! All the papers I have used are from Funky Hand (various collections) and just random bits in my bits box.


It fits the Waltzing Mouse challenge which is a new one to me - I found it whilst blog hopping and not got a clue how I found it! And get me for being so quick off the mark!! Actually, I'd already made the card and then realised it was a perfect fit for the Waltzing Mouse sketch for this week. Now all I need to know is the lottery numbers.....!!

I've added some faux stitching and a few seed beads on the bunting. The embroidery thread is also from my stash. This is such a lovely image and as I have lots of different colours that are pre coloured, you'll probably see more of Patience!
