Cheers!

Hi There, I am having another sleepless night so what else is there to do but make and post a card for some challenges. There is quite a few challenges i am entering the card into so will just list and link them all at the end.

I used the sketch from the Sketch and Stash challenge, such a simple and easy one to follow. For the background i used one of my fav cuts from the Cricut Storybook cartridge. I mounted it on the tiny sized foam pads so it stood out. I decided, in one of my play about moments, to cover all the swirl cut in Crackle Accents...i dont know what i was thinking about but it actually turned out better than i thought. Kinda  looks like snake skin!! (Cant see it in this picture i dont think.)  My LOTV image is one i have had since its release date and never ever inked it up. I had it in my head that it would be a nightmare to colour....it was the total opposite. I used my Promarkers and for the cat i just used Cool Greys 1,2 and little bit of number 3. I added a few dots of Glossy Accents on the cats nose, present tag and the glasses.  The flowers are a mix match of flowers i had in my scrap/extra bits and bobs box and i just layered them and added one of my handmade flowers on the top. I inked all the edges of them and added Glossy Accents and tiny bit glitter. I actually liked how it turned out. My button was also a old button of the inside of my old jacket!! I added some of my favourite Glossy Accents and glitter. The sentiment was recycled of another old card i had lying about. The pin, beads, pearls and ribbon were just all from my stash.

Here goes for the list of challenges i am entering the card into!

Pink, Pink and more Pink!

Hi, What a beautiful day it is here, the kids are out having a water fight and i have managed to grab the laptop while they are out! As with most boys their ages, 11 and 13, once they get onto the computer thats me lost it for hours! 

Here is my latest creation. The sketch i followed is Dawys sketch for the Just magnolia challenge. I loved this sketch. I have used my Tilda Stamp and coloured her with promarkers. I only really started stamping a lot over the past few months so i have not got a massive selection of stamps yet but I am sure that will change once i have been to the Hobby Craft show in October! I am really looking forward to it, a day in heaven!!

I have also entered my card into the Satuarday challenge which is "What a little girls made of" hence the pink, pink and more pink. The paper is Papermania Honey and Hugs. I got this little stack in a sale a few months back and forgot all about it! The swirls are cut from my Story Book Cartridge using Gemstones cardstock. I have used some Gems and card Candy inside the Prima Flowers. The sentiment was just one that was in a pack of clear stamps from Papermania.
