Daring Card Makers Challenge - Travelling

Time for a new Daring Cardmakers Challenge and the theme for this week is.

Travelling

I recently bought this cute little space rocket die - Cut and Make - for £1 from The Range.  I cut it twice and then cut the flames again twice to layer up.

I made the background with spray inks - silver and copper plus added some tiny punched silver stars.

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

Colour Craxy Challenge - Week 35 - Sponsored by Moonflower

Time for a new Colour Crazy challenge and this week we are sponsored by Moonflower.  And the challenge theme as always is

Anything Goes

I picked this cute image - Gigi Little Mermaid and coloured her up with Promarkers plus a little bit of glitter here and there.  The background frame has been cut by the Bubblicious frame from Polkadoodles and I found a random bit of card in my stash which matched the colours!

I've added a die cut circle from vellum plus some other bits and bobs I found in my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 167 - Anything Goes

Welcome to a new Crimbo Crackers challenge!  The theme for the fortnight is

Anything Goes

I've made a Christmas Tree using a box template I found on google and then cut out all the little tags (backed them onto off cuts of kraft card first) from the Holly Jolly 6x6 paper pack.  I wrapped some bakers twine around the tree first so I could then add the pegs to make it look like they were clipped to it.  When actually I've used foam pads underneath the numbers to stick them to the tree - was just a lot easier!

Something a bit different and quirky!  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Little Miss Muffet Stamps - Challenge 196 Inspiration

We are half way through the current Little Miss Muffet stamps challenge and I'm here with some more inspiration.  The theme as always is

Anything Goes

I've used Candy Floss Crew Quentin and coloured him with Promarkers.  I've used a freebie sentiment stamp that I've had for an absolute age and use time and time again; the chocolate brown card is from my stash and I've added a dotted white line with a white gel pen around the edge.

The papers are double sided 6x6 papers from Dovecraft - More or Less and I've lightly distressed them.  Good luck with the challenge!

Dad's 70th - V is for

I'm back with letter v from the word seVenty!  Part of the card I made for my Dad's birthday earlier this year.  I've used the following images from Dr Digi; Camera, Lava Lamp, Valve Radio and also Bloomin' 70's papers.

All images have been coloured with promarkers and I added glossy accents on the front of the lava lamp.  Tags have been handwritten and I researched the items to get an approximate year of significance.

The large letter V is a chipboard shape which I've coloured with a black marker and the other letters are from my Sizzix Round-A-Bout alphabet die set.  See you next week with another letter!

We are sponsored by Polkadoodles and I've used this cute Winnie - Expecting a New Baby from the Celebrations 3 collection.  I've coloured her with Promarkers and added a little bit of glitter glue here and there for a bit of sparkle!

Polkadoodle Challenge - Anything Goes or Use Flowers

It's time for a new Polkaoodles challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to use flowers and I've used a number of different products that were recently part of the One Day Special on Hochanda.  First up is the Merry Christmas die in the central panel plus the Poinsettia Lace die (cut with two different shades of red card) and I've added tiny micro beads to the centres.

The papers are offcuts from a previous project and come from the Holly Jolly 6x6 paper pack.  A little bit of inking and the card is complete!

Little Miss Muffet Stamps - Challenge 196 - Anything Goes

It's the start of a new Little Miss Muffet challenge and the theme for the fortnight is

Anything Goes

I've used a recent new release image - Polka Dot Pals Avonlee and coloured her with Promarkers.  I used an X Cut die to cut the oval and the papers are all magazine freebies that I've had for a long time

I found some pretty flowers in my stash and added them - I wound the stems around a pencil to get the curl before adding to the card.  I've added tiny half pearls to the centre of the flowers in her hair and on her shoes, and also larger ones to the top of the card.

Good luck with the challenge!

Dad's 70th - E is for

Here is the second part of the word sEventy for my Dad's birthday earlier this year.  I've used BBQ Bill from Dr Digi along with Balls and the freebie Sunshade.  All have been coloured with Promarkers.

The large letter E is a chipboard letter that I coloured using a marker and the other letters are from my Sizzix Round-A-Bout alphabet set.

Clouds have been cut with a Memory Box die and the grass are various dies (negative also used) from my stash.

See you next week for the letter V!
