Something other than pink!

Hi, Hope you all had a lovely weekend. I am looking forward to getting back to normal this week. My daughter had her operation on Thursday. She had a Liver biopsy, grommet insertion and adenoids taken out. She was the bravest girl ever. The only thing she complained about was her sore shoulder because she had to lie on her side for nearly 6 hours and because she was leaning on her shoulder it was hurting her. It was meant to be 4 hours but the nurses werent sure so kept her on her side until they checked! Yes.. took them 2 hours to check it out!! Dont get me wrong the staff were extremely good, went beyond the job description to make all the kids on that ward feel at ease and comfortable. 

Here is my card that i rattled up tonight while watching Dancing On Ice! The sketch is from the Sugar Bowl Challenge. Great sketch to work with. My cutie is coloured in with Pro markers. I am usually a pastel colour girl but really liked these bold colours together. Over at the CES challenge the challenge is no Designer Papers, it was hard not to reach into the paper stack but i managed! I distressed the edges of all the white and teal paper with walnut ink.

The swirls and leaves are die cuts from my Cricut and the flowers as usual were home made and touched up with stickles. The gems and ribbon are out my stash.

I am entering the card into the following challenges;

Easel card!

Had a sleepless night as usual so was up making this card at 2am. I seem to be much more creative at that time of night! I also love the quietness..kids sleeping..just bliss!

 I love making easel cards, so simple but look great! I have also stuck to my favourite colours! I am entering the card into The Stamp Man challenge as the new challenge is easel cards. My image is from LOTV, one of my favourites and coloured with promarkers. I have embossed one of the layers under the image using my cuttlebug and floral folder, this fits with the challenge at "Our Creative corner".  I have used Acetate and made them stand out more by coating with Glossy Accents and sprinkled with MS Glitter and finished of with Pearls. The I love Promarkers challenge is Acetate so i am hoping the flowers will be enough to count! I really dont remember using acetate on cards since last Christmas, The DT cards over at I love Promarkers were amazing, gave me lots of ideas for next time! The challenges over at Flutter By Wednesday and Party Time Tuesday  is "Anything Goes". 

Heres the list of Challenges and links to them;

Well Thanks for looking and i hope you enjoy the rest of the day. For me its a afternoon tackling the ironing pile! Not my Idea of fun, would rather me at my craft desk making cards!

Mojo is back!!

Hi, Well been busy today..no, not housework .. Just crafting! I decided to enter a few challenges with one card again. As much as Chocolate brown is just not my favourite colour,  it worked out better than i thought it would!! The Chocolate colour theme and Tilda stamp was for the Totally Tilda challenge. The sketch i followed is from Papertake Weekly challenge, like this sketch! I am also going to enter my card into the Creative Inspirations challenge and The stamp Man Challenge as they have let loose and the theme is "Anything Goes" for both! The spotty paper is from "The big one" by Clare Curd which i have had in my stash since it was released and still not even nearly finished it all! I embossed the white layer with my Cuttlebug floral folder. The flowers were cut from my Cricut using the Plantin Schoolbook cart and the leaves are from the Story book cart. I used some gems and ribbon from my stash to finish it off. 

Here is the challenges i have entered my card into!
