CCT challenge 22 The Two of Us

This weeks challenge over at cute card thursday is the two of us, you can use 2 animals, 2 people or 1 of each. I love this House Mouse image that was sent to me by Charli, so I thought it would be perfect, I am a little bit under the weather this week so emphasis is on simple. It has been coloured with prisma pencils. Background paper from stash, the sentiments are from 2 Autumn leaves sets.

Tilda ATC Challenge - Beads

This weeks theme over at the Tilda ATC Challenge blog is beads. I had a good time with this one, I got to sew lots of seed beads onto the lilacs, 52 in total. Tilda was coloured with Prisma pencils. The sentiment is part of an Autumn leaves set.

FRIDAY SKETCHERS 12

This weeks Friday Sketchers 12 is a nice simple layout, which I thought was a good one for a male card, as I have my nephews Birthday coming up and boys don't really like fussy. I have used the downloadable version of AJ from Dinky Dots, I just printed him out on different coloured card then paper pieced him. ( Thanks Sonia ) I have used Shabby Princess papers, Bazzill card stock, ric rac and ribbon and a couple of football brads. Ooh and my new barcode stamps from Autumn leaves - Which I must say are fabulous value for money - You get 30 stamps in this set with some cracking useful sentiments many which you can inter-link.

Friday Sketchers - 11

This weeks Friday Sketchers was a nice simple layout. Been playing catch up, so I've only just managed to do mine. The background paper is from a free downloadable set by the lovely Vicki, the zip is an element which is also part of the same set. I've done Tilda sat on the Summer background - Part chalked and the rest Prisma pencils. With some shabby chic flowers, I was going to glaze the flowers but couldn't be bothered waiting for them to dry, so I got out the old sticky back plastic and stuck them face down before cutting out. Same effect much quicker. Some sizzix leaves, the stamped sentiment is from Autumn leaves and gems from my sis.

Distressed Tilda Challenge 28

I actually found this one quite difficult, I can't think of Tilda as anything but girlie, all pink and purple. Or Summery, all reds, oranges and greens. So I had to try and tone her down, I used some papers which are a free download from an amazing blog site which is dedicated to free downloadable scrapbook papers and layouts. Vicki is an amazingly talented lady that doesn't mind sharing - but no commercial use please - so thank you Vicki, I'm so glad I found your site. Tilda was paper pieced, for her face and hair I used Prismas. Added some bling from my sis, the flourish and sentiment stamps are from Autumn leaves and the with love stamp is part of a set from Cuddly Buddly. The flowers are Prima with a dovecraft brad in the middle.

Friday Sketchers 10

Not too much on this week , so I thought I would have another go at a challenge. This is for the Friday sketchers challenge. It was to use a layout which was pre-selected. I used Summer ice cream stamp by Elizabeth Bell which I coloured with Prisma pencils. I matted and layered her on Shabby Princess papers.I used a sentiment out of an Autumn leaves set, Prima flowers, gems from my sis, some embroidery thread which has been taking up room in my sewing box for far too long now and plenty of stickles. After I had matted and layered the image onto the card I thought it looked a bit stark so I gave it an all over light stippling with a Chestnut memories ink pad.

Cute card Thursday challenge 18

I have been blog hopping this week and found this challenge that everybody is doing over on the cute card Thursday challenge blog. So, I thought I would have a go. This week's theme was a card for a child. I have used the picking apples stamp by Elizabeth Bell,I love these stamps because they can be for children or adults that like cute. I have coloured her with prismas and added a touch of stickles. The background papers are Shabby Princess. The sentiment stamps are from an Autumn Leaves set. I have used Prima flowers and Dovecraft gem brads. Ooh and a little bit of ribbon which I attached through Dovecraft eyelets. Being a card for a child I thought the emphasis should be on nice bright colours.

A spoon full of Sugar Challenge 7

This week's theme for a spoon full of sugar challenge 7 is "One for the Boy's" I made this one with the sugar Nellie Luca fishing. I used Basic Grey papers, the swirls and flowers are from an Autumn leaves - mindy's flowers set, the sentiment is from an Autumn leaves sentiments circles set. I added a bit of ribbon and some gems. This card I did with a flap that you tuck in to the front, I thought it would be a bit different and make the card a bit more interesting to the recipient. Luca had a bit of everything on him, water colour pencils on his face and hands, prisma pencils on his jumper and his fish and paper pieced his hat and dungarees.
