Anya card for a Few Challenges!

Today I have a card using a lovely Anya image by The Greetings Farm, coupled with some Waltzingmouse Stamps sentiments.

She has been coloured with Promarkers, and paper used is is Wisteria by Basic Grey, and Rose Garden by Papermania.

Rhinestones are also by Papermania.



The sentiments used are from two new release sets from Waltzingmouse Stamps - Afternoon Tea and Fancy Phrases.

I am entering a few challenges with this card :

Anyone for Anya Challenge

Today I have a card made for my daughter's 10th birthday, and thought I would enter into the Anyone for Anya challenge, which is 'layers'.

Well, there are 3 layers on the card, and I have layered the flowers, so I hope that counts!

I have coloured the image with promarkers, and the paper is from a stack by Papermania called Honey and Hugs.


The flowers are a mixture of Kaiser and WHSmith fabric flowers, and rhinestones are again Kaiser.

The sentiment is by Wild Rose Studios, stamped in Pink Petunia chalk in, and cut with nesties. Pink Ribbon is from Carnmeal Cottage.

All popped up on foam dimensionals.


Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge + a Couple of Other Challenges!

Today I have a card made using Sewing Box Hugs set from Waltzingmouse Stamps. Claire has a big release on Saturday 1st May, and there are a few competitions to celebrate, including a sketch challenge.



I have stamped the larger flower from this set onto several different papers from a stack by Papermania called Rose Garden, distressed them with some chalk ink, and layered them up. Stamped some leaves from the same set, and mounted them all onto a chequered paper from a Papermania stack called Blueberry Hill.




Finally I added some large gems I have had for ages, they fit perfectly in the middle of the flowers, and the sentiment is from the same stamp set.

I am also entering this into two other challenges which want stitching on their entries:

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

Crafty Catz Challenge

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

TESC 110

Today I have a card using the Taylored Expressions challenge. A really nice layout, but took me ages to do, as I don't have a square punch. That's top of my wish list along with a heat tool and embossing powders and a whole host of other stuff.



I started by stamping some background using Waltzingmouse Stamps Faux Fun Circles set, and Memento London Fog. I stamped a strip on 5 different shaded pearlescent card stock, and then measured and cut lots of squares from them! Each square was then distressed using some pale blue chalk ink.

I then cut some creamy Bazzill card to mount the squares onto using some foam dimensionals. The Bazzill was also disressed with Antique linen Distress Ink.

Using some cream pearlescent card, I cut a large square to mount all the little squares onto, and stamped a border around it using the same stamp set.




Stamped two circles from said set, and added the sentiment from Say it With Style stamp set by WMS. Cut this out using my nesties classic circles small.




For a little sparkle I added some Stickles, and some butterflies with rhinestones, but in hindsight I think I preferred it without the butterflies!

Thanks for looking and have a great day

Birthday Card for a Boy.

Well, it's been a long week! I don't seem to have got any crafting done at all, except for this very quick and simple card. It's for my daughter's friend who is 10 on Sunday, and I was a bit stumped to begin with. I made my way to my favourite shop Flutterby Crafts in Thatcham and bought some yummy papers by 3 Bugs in a Rug, and a co-ordinating sheet of Die-cuts called playtime.




I layered the stripy paper onto some Core'dinations (raspberry I think), and cut a label in the same colour using my nesties labels one. I layered a die-cut from the sheet onto the label, and added some screw effect brads to 2 corners.

I stamped the number 10 in Soot Black distress ink onto some cardstock that I had coloured with a promarker (Grey Green) and cut using my circle nesties. Layered it onto a circle of core'dinations card and added some of the brads.

Finally I stamped a star border by Stamp-it onto some green Bazzill in Weathered Wood distress ink and popped it onto some foam dimensionals.

I am entering it into Creative Belli Blog Challenge which is to use a die-cut on your card.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

Anniversary Card

Well today is my 13th Wedding Anniversary, and here is the card I made for my hubby. It's a very straightforward, unfussy card, cos he's that kind of guy!

Very simply, I have used some silver holographic card and some patterned silver paper, cut some hearts in them using my nestie heart shapes, layered them up, stamped the Papermania sentiment onto some pearlescent card and cut using a spellbinders tag, attached with a foam dot, and used some silver dotted ribbon for the tag. Added two tiny stamped hearts using silver metallic ink, from the Earthangel set by Waltzingmouse Stamps. Finished off with some white pearls for some balance. It was a throw together card!



I was surprised at how the holographic card photographed - it looks very colourful, but is very silvery in reality. The colours on it are gorgeous but subtle.

I am entering it into My time to Craft Challenge - Pretty Pearls.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
