Charisma Cardz - Pretty in Pink!

 Happy Thursday all! Today brings us another fab challenge from Charisma Cardz!

This week we want to see your creations all Pink and Girly!
I love using pink for my creations, so this was just up my street!

I have used a lovely sweet sponsor image from Digi Doodle Shop, and coloured with Promarkers:

I cut the image using oval nesties, and layered onto some pretty patterned paper from Wild Rose Studios.

I added a ribbon bow from Maya Road, and the leaves were cut using a   die.

I added some pink gems for some sparkle, and some candi dots from Craftwork Cards, and finished off with some PTI Tiny Tags.


Here are our generous sponsors for this week:

DYSU #71 - USE A FLOWER

Hi all, today brings us another challenge from DYSU, and this week, we would like to see you use
a Flower in your designs.

I have made a card using a lovely image from one of our generous sponsor, The Greeting Farm. I have been given the gorgeous Autumn Fairy to play with, isn't she lovely? 

I have teamed her with some lovely polka dot papers from Wild rose Studios, and layered her onto a mat cut using a Marianne Creatables frame die.

I added some Stickles to her wings for some sparkle and shine.

To finish off I added some white ruffled sheer ribbon along the side, and tied some purple button twine around the middle of it with a Tiny Tag and sentiment. The hand made flowers are made using the floral dies that came with the Marianne frame.

WMSC & PDCC

Hi all, it seems like it's been a while since I have played along with a couple of my favourite challenges. I'm finding that I have less time these days, and before I know it, another week has flown by!

Well, I have missed the Waltzingmouse sketch challenge the last couple of weeks, and I haven't played at the Play Date Cafe for way longer than that! So this week's new challenges from them were just the thing to get my motivation and mojo going!

I have based my card on this fabby sketch by the very talented Kelly Schirmer:

And for colour inspiration, get a load of these yummy colours:

I have made a Wedding Day card for a special friend I made through blogging - yes I mean YOU Miss Ruby McGuire!

I'm kind of hoping that Ruby will miss this post, but if you do get here, Congratulations to you both, I'm so happy for you!

So following the sketch, I created the doily using the little crown builder from the Dainty Doilies Sml set from WMS. The papers are from My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline set (I Heart those papers!) and Melissa Frances 5th Avenue blue damask patterned paper. I layered the papers directly onto the shaped card by Craftwork Cards, and just trimmed around the edge.

I added some grey silky crush from The Ribbon Reel, and some Pink Velvet Ribbon, also from TRR.
I added a beautiful big rose, (from TRR) slightly sponged with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink, and as a final flourish I added some gems, pink pearls and some grey pearl drops - well it is a wedding card, and if you can't use gems and pearls together for a wedding I don't know when you can!

I really enjoyed making this, mainly because it's for someone special about to have a very special day!

I am entering this into the following challenges:

I have made a card using a gorgeous sentiment from Crafty Sentiments, using their Quotes and Phrases for all set.

I have layered some lovely papers from My Mind's Eye, and some tan Bazzill, and punched two of the panels with a Fiskars punch.

 

I cut the sentiment using circle nesties, and layered onto a doily cut using a Marianne Designs die cut.

Finally I added a butterfly and some pearls.

CR84FN 53

Morning all, today brings us another fab new colour challenge from CR84FN!
This fortnight we are asking you to create using the colours Pink, Aqua and Neutral.

 

I have made a card using some lovely papers from Pink Paislee London Market Collection.

 I used a Craftwork Cards card base, and covered with the crown patterned paper, and cut around the shaped base.

 Then I cut a piece of the the aqua damask patterned paper to size, and zig zag stitched around the edges, and inked the edges with Sea Breeze chalk ink.

I then cut two labels in the pink damask and neutral script patterned papers, using nestabilities Labels 1, and stiched these together.

I then added a Waltzingmouse Stamps sentiment, and a butterfly cut using Memory box dies and pink and Aqua Core'dinations card. Finally I added some tiny pink pearls.

DYSU #69 - Be Inspired by the D.T!

Hi all, over at DYSU today we have a bit of a different challenge for you lovely bloggers!

We are asking you to ....
.... CASE the D.T! So, take your inspiration, CASE, share, and Have Fun! Go with the flow, and see where your inspiration takes you! We of course would love to hear from you lovely peeps if you do CASE us, so do drop by the D.T. and leave some smiles :-)


I was very lucky and got to play with some lovely images from our generous sponsors. So I made two cards for todays challenge!

My first card is using a beautiful image from A Day For Daisies, called Fashionable Feather.




The image is so striking, with her feathered head piece, it reminded me of peacock feathers, so that was the colour scheme I chose. I coloured her with Promarkers and Flexmarkers.



I cut her out using nestie ovals, and layered her onto some new memory Box papers.



The card base is from Craft work Cards, and I stuck some patterned paper onto the base from My Mind's Eye, and cut around the shape.


Here's another close up to show the glittery shine from the stickles I added.
The sentiment is from Uniko Studios Extra Time stamp set. Finally I added some buttons, twine and gems.

I was so inspired by myself (ha-ha!) I decided to make another card! This time using the very sweet image Me and My teddy from Little Darlings.




I have coloured him with Promarkers and Flexmarkers, and very simply cut him with nesties, layered him onto some patterned paper from my scrap box, added a WMS sentiment and some gems and voila!


He was such a sweetie to colour, now I just have to find a sweet little guy to give it to!



Finally, I have one more card to share, using one of our fabulous sponsor's images. I have used a background from The Paper Shelter, called Tango, and layered this onto some red and blue Core'dinations card.



The little butterflies are from a stamp set by Kanban, and the paper roses and gems from stash.
