love

I wasn't entirely sure if my rolled flower die would cut felt. It did! So I die cut some felt leaves too. This is for the white on white challenge over on Less is More.

What would I do without my bigshot? 'Cos he also embossed the large dots and diecut the letters. The only thing about this card that bad boy didn't do was cut the ribbon and tie the bow! Oh, and add that little pearl.

Fancy winning a set of promarkers and some cute digi images? There's still time to enter the Willow Sketch Challenge here.

Olivia and Archie.....

.....are my favourite digi images at the mo'! No matter how simple you make your card using this little pair makes it super cute!

I used prismapencils and blending solution to colour Olivia and Archie from the DigiStampBoutique and some scraps of card and dotty paper from my stash. Some dotty ribbon and a sentiment to finish.

Remember you can enter the Boutique giveaway here and the competition here.

I am entering my card into two challenges....

Cupcake....something beginning with C

Stamp Something....digi

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Good morning Penny Black fans.

We have another challenge for you......

Distressing

Well I am not too sure about this one at all but I gave it my best shot. I have used distress inks round the edges of the card, on the flowers and stamped the dots background. But if you want to see loads of distressed inspiration my teamies have come up trumphs here! And on the subject of teamies we have two brand new ones. Welcome to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge Helen and Ali!

We have two gorgeous prizes this week.....

Ten bundles (yep, that's right ten bundles) of seam binding, winners choice of colours, from our regular sponsor
The Ribbon Girl.

This gorgeous PB stamp 'gentlest kiss' from our sponsor
Penny Black.

Willow Sketchie

It's Thursday so that means it's time for another Willow Sketchie. This week we have a fabby sketch by my teamie Kelly.....
....and an even fabbier prize.....

So there you have it. Remember you don't need to use a Willow image on your card, but we love it when you do! The only rule is that you use the sketch as inspiration. And talking of inspiration, take a look here!

hello friend

I think the bee is warning his hedgie friend about the big giant flowers heading his way! What do you think?

I am entering my little creation into two challenges....

Papertake...anything goes

ABC....T for two or more images

Edited - the stamps are from a Penny Black transparent set 'paint the town'.

celebrate

This weeks Less is More challenge is 'celebrate' or 'thank you'. I have plumped for the celebrate option. Mainly 'cos I have a celebrate stamp that fits onto my tag die, all my 'thank you's' are too big!

I stamped the row of flowers onto kraft card and coloured the centres with a yellow prisma pencil. The small strip of DP came from a 6x6 pad by Jillibean Soup.

Off now to have a nosey at all the other entries.

Olivia and Archie

Just when you thought things couldn't get any cuter along comes Olivia and Archie from the DigiStamp Boutique. On offer for the whole of May, plus, if you buy before 7th May you get the cat doodles (accents) absolutely free.

These images are a joy to colour, I used Prismacolour Pencils but they work equally as well with promarkers or copics. The dotty paper is from my scraps box. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards as are the card candies. The flowers and little butterflies are punched.

you passed!

Good Morning Penny Black fans!

We have another challenge for you......

Milestones

We can't wait to see what you all come up with.

This weeks prize is a 15% lifetime discount voucher from PB Stamps. So, of course you know the drill by now. For more details about the challenge, for lots of inspiration from my teamies and to find out who is last weeks lucky winner visit the

willow sketchie

It's Thursday, another four day weekend and time for another Willow Sketchie!

This week it's my turn to host the challenge so I'm hoping all my blogging buddies can join in the fun.

Here is the sketch.......

and here is this weeks prize.....

Remember you can use anything from your stash, the only rule is that you use the sketch as your inspiration. So, to see more gorgeous cards and to enter your own creation pop on over to the Willow Sketchie Challenge. See you there (but not tomorrow as I have another engagement, now where did I put my hat).

happy birthday bunny

Tonight's card follows the sketch over on Sunday Sketch and Stamp challenge.

It was also in my mind that this weeks Cupcake Challenge was bunnies. So, the perfect chance to use my poor neglected Penny Black 'bun-bun'. But alas it's not to be! I should really pay more attention. The challenge is actually to use something fluffy on your card. Now, if I wasn't such a lazy crafter and if my bath wasn't dangerously close to overflowing I would add a little pompom to his tail! Oh well, always next week!

Off now for a soak with Molton Brown, see you all tomorrow for a
brand new Willow Sketchie.

flying high

This weeks challenge over on Less is More is....off centre.

I used a stamp which came free with this months Stamper magazine. Stamped it twice. Once on the card and once onto my patterned paper to do a bit of piecing. I stamped the sentiment on the bottom corner and doodled a line of dots to link it up with the card.

Special Delivery!

I love the way this cute dino looks a bit bemused. He is one of a little set of dinos recently released over at the DigiStamp Boutique.

I coloured him with copic pens and the papers are 'marjolaine' by BasicGrey.

Remember you still have until next Saturday 30th April to enter the Boutique give-away here and the competition here.
