Call Me!!

Hi, What another beautiful day it was here in Scotland again! This weather is just amazing..hope it lasts! Well as you might notice if you have been here before i have had a little blog makeover! Not sure about this background yet so it might change again but loving the 3 columns to work with. Saves scrolling down forever to find things!

I have a card to share that i made the other night. Over at the Sugar Bowl the challenge this time is a sketch along with the theme of Buttons so had to enter.

I have used a Simply Sassy stamp called "Call Me" and coloured her with my promarkers.

The papers are from a Papermania Capsule pad that i bought not long ago. Its got lovely basic papers in it such as spots, stripes and checked. The fancy frame is from my Cricut Pot pourri cartridge.

My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the leaves are again from the pot pourri and inked with yellow ink the tie in with the yellow in the image.

The sentiment reads "miss taking to you" and is from the wild card cartridge. The ribbon, glittery gems, buttons and hat pin are all from my stash.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;

The Sugar Bowl - Sketch and buttons.

Stamp Something - With Flowers,Buttons and sparkle.

Stamptacular challenge - Pile It On - More than 5 layers.

Simon Says Stamp and Show - Some Buttons.

Thanks for looking and you kind comments! Enjoy your night!

Pom Pom all in Purple!

Hi, This is a flying visit today as i have the doctors soon. I wanted to post my LOV challenge card before i forget. This week the challenge was a sketch by Bev and as usual it was a really nice one.

I used the little Pom Pom fairy image and coloured her with Promarkers. Her wings are covered in Crackle Accents to make it look like veins in the wings. I decided to go without DP's this time and just embossed the white layers . The border punch is a MS one. The flowers are cut from my cuttlebug and then i have layered a flower from my Plantin Schoolbook Cricut Cartridge and gave them the glossy accents and Glamour dust treatment that i seem to have a thing about at the moment!!

The sentiment is also from LOTV from the pack of calender/date stamps. Some of the white is inked up using Dusky Concord Distress Inks. The ribbon, trim, gems and charm are just from my stash...had to dig to find a different charm than usual!

The challenges i am entering this card into are;

Take Care

Lets Go Fly a Kite!

Today we had all kinds of weather! It started with wind and rain then at lunch time we had snow. It was too wet for it to lie thankfully! Late afternoon the sun came out for a while. I can cope with any weather but please not snow!!

Today i have made a card following the Friday Sketchers latest sketch. Its a fab one too, loved working with the sketch. I have used one of my hAnglar stamps. I used Promarkers and he was a dream to colour. The colours scheme came from the "Fab and Funky" challenge which is Chocolate and Blue. The paper i use was just a sheet i found in the pile of 12x12's i have and not sure where its from! I embossed the brown layer with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder and the same with the white fame under the stamp. The stars, frame, circles and scallop corners were all cut using my Cricut cartridge, Plantin schoolbook. The ribbon is running through eyelets at each side of the frame. I have added a touch of Crackle Accents to the stars and scalloped corners for a change of texture. I added a couple of MME buttons to finish off.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges;

Hi, I have been trying to get on here to get this card posted for a few days but i seem to get distracted with one thing or another!!

This card was initially made for the Just Magnolia and hAnglar Challenge which is Going Dotty. I decided to combine it with a valentines theme because there are so many "love" or "Valentines" challenges out there this week.

My hAnglar image is coloured in with Promarkers. She is so cute holding onto her heart! The spotty paper is from Claire Curds "the big one" paper pack that i have had for such a long time and still have not got through it all! I ran a running stitch up the length of ribbon and then pulled to gather it in. I decided to set the sentiment in between a few hearts which i glazed with Glossy Accents and sprinkled with Glamour Dust. The flowers, charms and gems are from my stash and the swirl under the flowers is cit from my story Book Cartridge

Here is th elong list of challenges i am entering this into this week!

Not a flower in sight!!

Hi, I hope you are all having a lovely lazy Sunday! I dont know where the day has went, got up tidied up and before i noticed it was 3pm! 

Here is a LOTV card with one of their new stamps. How cute are these images?! I just love their little feet dangling crossed over....too cute! I coloured them in with promarkers. The sentiment comes with the image. 

The sketch i followed is from the LOTV challenge this week. Its a fab sketch and is a good one for keeping it simple which is the challenge for the I love Promarkers challenge! I found it so hard to keep my hand out my flowers pot! Not even a gem or swirl in sight either. I used 3 buttons and the ribbon...thats it! The papers are from the Daisy and Dandelion pad that i have had for ages and its lay at the bottom of my drawer. Its got some good matching papers in there. I have also inked the edges very slightly with Dusty Concord distress ink.
