Sketch Saturday

So I am trying to vary my style a little and this sketch was perfect. I used another Pink Petticoat image and coloured with Copics.

C'mon Andy - you can do it!

Feelin' Fruity at Colour Create

A choice of fruity colours to use this week on Colour Create. I have gone a bit over the top and made it really bright. The image is a digi download from Pink Petticoat, I'm lovin' these! The papers are by DCWV and I have finished with ribbon, buttons and a little metal swirly thing!

Off now to catch some sun before it disappears behind the trees.

Creative Card Crew

The challenge this week is 'Black plus one other colour'. So my one other colour is white (cos I am sure no one will notice that little flower).

Another chance to use my new digi images from Pink Petticoat. I have coloured him (I have decided he looks like a 'him' maybe it's that beer belly) with just a touch of grey. Finished off with a brad, ribbon and my new favourite way of using a button.

One Stop and ABC

Add some sparkle they said over on the One Stop Challenge and add sparkle I certainly did! Well, some glamour dust to be exact.

The image is from Pink Petticoat and I used chalks to colour. This is the first time I have coloured with chalks (I'm ashamed to say they have lived on the shelf for about a year untouched) but I think they work well with this image and papers.

The second challenge this fits is on ABC where it is S for Summer. Mmmm and here is the perfect summer sundae.

The Next Level Issue 3

I loved doing this weeks challenge on The Next Level which is a sketch incorporating a tag. Well about an hour ago I treated myself to some downloads from Pink Petticoat and just couldn't wait to use them. So here is one of them on this super sweet card.

The papers are 'Glitter Sweet' by DCWV. I coloured the image with copics and blinged it up even more with some glitter.

Just Christmas and Birthday

A great sketch by Simone is this weeks challenge, and here is my effort. I am quickly popping this on as I am off to the garden centre for some plant buying, then home to plant them up (if the rain stays away).

Stamptacular Sunday 'One for the Boys'

I have had this Riley Moose stamp for a while and just could not think what to do with him. I had been trying to think up a sentiment........something like 'Moosing You' or something to do with 'Moose Mallows' but nothing seemed to work. Then came along this challenge ......'One for the Boys' and I think it fits.........with a sentiment nowhere to be seen!

Blooming Gorgeous at Penny Black

The challenge on PBS this week is 'Blooming Gorgeous'. This, I think, fits perfectly. Don't you think?

Stamp Something Old/Something New

Something old, something new, something borrowed and something .........pink and green and cream and white. Don't really have anything weddingy so this sweet little couple will have to do!

They are by Sugar Nellie and coloured by me with Copics.

My Rainbow for Colour Create

This challenge caught my eye this week 'cos I thought it would be lovely and cheerful to do, but trying to get in all those colours had me tearing my hair out! I now have an abundance of multi coloured circles, squares etc etc. to use up for future cards. Anyways this is what I finally came up with and I have to say I am rather pleased with it.

Cute Card Thursday

The challenge on CCT this week is Nip and a Punch - get your punches/die cuts out. Well I have used 3 oval nesties and my retro flower punch so I think I have that covered. The stamp is by Forever Friends and I have used Copic to colour.

The Next Level

If you have not already had a nosey at this great new blog, go now. You will not be disappointed it is so much more that a challenge blog. This week there is a great tutorial on this ribbon technique (I have changed it a bit and now maybe think the tutorial way is better, anyhoo it's done now).

There is loads to read and links to some great freebies.

This is a downloaded image from Cuddly Buddly coloured with Copics. I embossed using the CB Swirls and added a charm.
