Color Throwdown


 

Over at the Color Throwdown  they are asking that our cards have green,red and cream on them .I had this little Inkers stamp for years and had never used it,but once stamped loved it!!.I coloured it with promarkers and a little bit of wink of stella for a little bit of sparkle:) 
But needed to add the cream so I used a creamy toned perfect pearls and dotted them  around.
Sorry about the photograph it is very overcast and dull here today !

Thanks for looking

Cas on Sunday



I was delighted to be a winner at Cas on Sunday and delighted to be a guest designer for this weeks challenge .Which was the sketch below. 
 

I did take a bit of artistic license and turned the sketch the opposite way(read that i had stuck it down when i realised it was on the wrong side ...sorry!) but hope you can see where my inspiration came from .For my card I used distress inks to make the background then stamped the images and using an old  SU punch to highlight the silhouette images.The snow is an white gel pen :)
Thank you for taking the time to look

The Male Room



This weeks challenge over at The Male Room was definitely a challenge for me ! I dont think I have made a kenetic card before So I kept it really simple ...mostly because that was my limit  :)As you can see I stamped and coloured the little camper van twice and then fussy cut them out before sticking them together after running a clear thread between them and attaching them under the red cardstock finally adding the sentiment ...Sounds so  simple doesnt it?? well it was except it took a few goes to get it (almost) right :)
Thank you for challenging me in this challenge Male room !

Color Throwdown


 

I have missed the deadlines for the last few challenges over at the Color Throwdowns so was determined to get there this week....that was until I saw the colours :) and my mind went totally blank.
 But browsing through my stamps and taking inspiration from the keyword photo  I saw this stamp set and thought I could incorparate the cranberry(in my case a dark wine coloured red) colours on the tips of the flowers,not sure if it can actually been seen though ! 
Flower cards are my nemsis I cant do them for love nor money :) so thought that I better just add a sentiment that can be used for any occasion !

Thanks for taking the time to look

Male room challenge




Over at The Male Room challenge they are asking for our cards to have trees on them .This is a very old stamp but love how it looks with nightime colours.
I stamped it directly on top of the distress ink background.Then used promarkers for the lights in the windows and then wink of stella on the roof ,trees ,fence and little  bits of the snow.Everyone needs a bit of sparkleSome perfect pearls on the background to mimic falling snow.(It kinda of reminds me of a snow globe :) and to finish it I added a popped up sentiment.
Thanks for looking
