Crafty Sentiments Challenge

Its time for another Crafty Sentiments Challenge, and the theme this week is Showers.

Rainy Days is the perfect image for this challenge - very April Showers!!  I coloured her in fresh colours using my pens.  I am loving these Echo Park papers, the colours are just me.  I layered up some teal and yellow ribbon and added a bow at a jaunty angle.  I due cut a flower and added gems.

That Craft Place Challenge

Its Sunday and that means it's time for a That Craft Place challenge and the theme this week is buttons.  We are also announcing our new DT - some of us girlies have stayed on and we have also added some amazing girls.

I was inspired to create this rainbow card having wasted an hour on pinterest - that place really does steal your life!!!  I doodled in white pen round the cardstock and in black pen round the clouds.  I tied twine through the buttons and stamped the Dream Big sentiment.  It was a really quick and simple card, but I love it :).

You can find all these products and much more, either at Lisa's website - That Craft Place, or on the facebook group.

A few cards ...

 I have left the Visible image DT, but thought I would share some of the samples that I made from their recent Create and Craft show.  I will share the rest of them another day.

I love DCWV Linen Paper but have never used it for masculine cards.  I stamped the key and cars onto the dp and then coloured Bradley in using my pens.  I stamped the sentiment and added it a quirky angle. 

Challenges: 

Graph it - Male colours

Crafty Catz - boys and their toys

 I do like doing CAS cards and this stamp set lends itself perfectly to very clean and simple.  I stamped the flower parts in distress ink, and added the pearl centre.  I doodles round the edge of the card and then stamped the sentiment.

Challenges:

Charisma Cardz - birthday girls

Fuss n fancy - happy birthday 

Allsorts - pretty in pink

 For this card I scored a diamond pattern in the white cardstock, but it really hasn't chown up in the photo and added pearls to some of the crosses. I coloured the castle in using my pens and then stamped the sentiment.  Finally I added some ribbon and a bow.

Challenges:

Crafty Ribbons - ribbons and bows

Addicted to CAS - Luck (a wedding card)

Daring Cardmakers - fairytale

Challenges:

 Cute Card Thursday - girls, girls, girls

ABC - H is for Hair

All these stamps are available at Visible Image.

 

Wonder Woman Birthday

 

 Its one of my running group's birthday today - and this image from Lisa's very own  Ditzie Digi Design shop was perfect.  Lisa has adapted Super Woman to have running shoes for me :) Having coloured her in using my pens (and club colours before anyone thinks I have begun to like pink!!) I put her onto digi papers.  I added some layered diecut flowers, pearls, a pearl swirl and ribbon. Finally the birthday sentiment.

I have used this adorable fish digi stamp Lisa's very own Ditzie Digi Design. It comes as part of  digi stamp set called Something fishy, and you get 2 of these cute fish, accessory stamps and sentiments :). I love the colours of this Echo park dp - goes perfectly with the fishy blues.  I added some stretchy webbing which I stretched and shaped to look like weeds.  Finally I added some crystal beads to be a bit like bubbles.
