Multi Challenge Card

Hi everyone, hope you’ve all had a good weekend. I’ve managed to make a card that covers five challenges and it’s not often that that happens for me :), the first is Cute Card Thursday, glitter me silly and my card is well glittered :), can’t seem to make a card without stickles! The Craft Garden has a theme of sparkle too, Secret Crafter have a theme of the four seasons and I’ve chosen winter, By the Cute and Girly have a winter wonderland theme. At Allsorts this week they’d like to see a card for a child and this cute mouse is suitable for that I think.
I’ve used this cute Whiff of Joy Henry Mouse stamp, coloured it with copic markers and then I’ve gone over most of it with a copic spica clear glitter pen, a sakura sparkle gel pen on the step and lots of Stardust stickles. The layers are cut with nestabilities labels dies and the background paper is BasicGrey Eskimo Kisses which is getting a good outing this week, and everything is edge sponged with Tattered Rose distress ink. I’ve done faux stitching with a Pentel white hybrid pigment ink gel pen and I’ve found that this is best white ink pen I’ve used, much better than the inkssentials as the ink is very white and flows really nicely. To decorate I also added some white tulle from the lovely Tab at Tabbycrafts, some glittery flowers and clear gems. TFL.

BasicGrey 8 – Glitz and Bling

Hi everyone, another BasicGrey challenge has rolled round, I don’t know where the weeks are going! This time we have a lovely theme of Glitz and Bling and a great Indian Summer themed prize from our sponsor Simon Says Stamp. There’s wonderful inspiration from my DT friends, so I hope you can join us.

I’ve used my gorgeous sitting Tilda with glitter so she’s perfect for this challenge and I’ve coloured her with distress inks then cut her out. The papers are from BG Eskimo Kisses and I’ve die cut some with oval nestabilities and punched the bottom layer with an EK Success scalloped punch. The sentiment is a die cut and the test is metallic red but it’s not showing up too well. I did a bit of doodling with a white gel pen, and went over Tilda’s hair, dress and socks with a Spica glitter pen for some more glitz, was generous with my favourite stardust stickles then added a bow and some sparkly star gems to the hairband and background to finish. Have a great weekend in the blustery weather if you’re in the UK! TFL.

Crazy for Challenges – Easel card

Hi everyone, hope you’re all having a good week so far and to everyone who went to the NEC, I hope you had a great time!
This is one of the sample cards I made for the Craft Barn with another lovely Motivet stamp which they now have available and the easel style which I think is my favourite at the moment lets me enter it into the Crazy for cards challenge.  The colouring is with copic markers and the paper is Eskimo Kisses by BasicGrey. I’ve cut a nestie label shape for the bottom of the card and added a Craftwork Cards sentiment. The snowflakes are punched with a Martha Stewart punch and I added some wide ribbon and stickles to finish. TFL.
