Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge MMSC22

This is my entry for this week's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge, MMSC22.

The stamp is from one of the new Papermania stamp duos. I stamped it with Watermark ink and then embossed with white embossing powder.

The papers were from Crafts Beautiful magazine last year. I've added highlights with Stickles glitter glue in Crystal. The sentiment is from a Papermania cardboard sticker sheet that I think I got in a goody bag last year!!

Creative Inspirations and Crafty Catz challenges

Well, I managed to finish my second card so here it is!! This is another two-challenge card. I have followed the sketch on the Creative Inspirations blog and the theme on the Crafty Catz challenge blog which was snowmen and snowflakes.

The snowman stamp is from Sugar Nellie. I have coloured it with my promarkers.

Backing papers are Papermania and some I got free with a magazine last year!! I have also used on of the new Cuttlebug snow embossing folders on some lilac handmade paper.

The snowflakes are punched using a large xCut and small Dovecraft punch.

Passion for Promarkers and Papertake Weekly challenges

Hi everyone,

Well, I think I did quite well getting a card done today as the girls are now off school on holidays for two weeks!!! I did start a second which I'll try and get finished when they're in bed - two in one day was probably pushing my luck!!!

Anyway, this card is for two challenges - Passion for Promarkers and Papertake Weekly.

The challenge on Papertake Weekly was to follow the sketch.

The challenge on Passion for Promarkers was to follow the recipe of 3 different shapes, 2 papers and 1 ribbon. This seemed to fit in quite well to the Papertake sketch, although I did change the shape of my title panel a bit to go with the recipe.

The image is from Sugar Nellie. Coloured with Promarkers of course. The main colours I used were Pumpkin, Cornflower, Cyan and Cocoa.

The brown paper is from the Clare Curd Signature Range at Papermania, the orange paper is from K & Co Hopscotch paper pad.

I also spritzed over the finished card with Cosmic Shimmer mist in gold. I thought this would go with the pirate theme!! It actually looks quite good, but with the camera flash it is a bit too sparkly!!!

Thanks for looking!!

Sketch and Stash Challenge

Well I hope you're all enjoying the weekend. It's been quite nice here today but I just had a race to get my washing in as the rain suddenly bucketed down!!!

This is a card I made earlier in the week for the Sketch and Stash challenge and I just remembered I hadn't posted it on here yet!!!

The Forever Friends bear is coloured with my promarkers. The green and scalloped circles were cut with my nestabilities. The green card was embossed with my Divine Swirls embossing folder and then brushed over with shimmer chalk. I punched holes around the edge of the scalloped circle with my crop-a-dile then cut another scalloped circle in deep pink to layer behind the holes.

Neglected/rarely used stash:

The pink patterned paper was from a DoCrafts kit and has been sitting in my stash for ages!! Also the pink and white paper flowers - they came in a lovely little pot (so I had to have them of course!!) but I have hardly ever used them!!!

The green flowers are all white/cream flowers that I have coloured with my Apple Promarker to match my image.

Brads, tiny gems and pink rafia ribbon all Papermaia.

Moving Along with the Times challenge card

The challenge last week on the Moving Along with the Times blog was to follow the sketch but also to use no stamps on the card.

I used these lovely glittery flower stickers from Papermania instead as my main image. I stuck them onto white card, cut them out and then inked the edges with VersaMagic chalk ink in Tea Leaves. I then layered them onto pink scalloped squares cut with my nestabilities.

The background is Coredinations white washed cardstock. I embossed it with a sissix embossing folder and then sanded over the top to reveal the green core. Edges inked in Colorbox fluid chalk in Orchid Pastel.

Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge MMSC21

The backing papers are from Clare Curd's Signature Range.

The little blue bear button I've had in my stash for ages, just waiting for the perfect moment!!! Metal congratulations plaque from the Craft Candy range at Mad About Cards.
