Ready, Aim, Fire!

Thursday, 13 February 2014

 Evening everyone!

I hope you're all safe and warm away from the awful weather (if you're around the same part of the world as I am anyway!) the wind and rain and snow have been terrible all day today and yesterday.

I'm still in catch-up mode, but nearly there now, just a couple of days behind with this one as Seems A Little Sketchy have a new sketch up since Monday.  We are being sponsored for the next fortnight by Kenny K Designs!

http://www.kennykdownloads.com/
Who are offering 3 digi's to our lucky winner!

Here's the sketch for this challenge

http://seemsalittlesketchy.blogspot.co.uk/

And here's what I did


The image is from our sponsor, Kenny K and is called Sexy Cupid.  I coloured her with the following Copics: Skin;E21,13,00,0000,R20. Hair;100,N9,7,5. Wings;RV23,21,10. Clothes;YR16,14,21,R39,29,27. Plus some YG23, BV31 & Blender.  I also used black and white prisma pencils.


The paper is Sugar Rush by Basic Grey and I used a Spellbinders Classic Heart die for the shape which I then coated with super sparkle holographic embossing powder and a layer of ultra thick embossing enamel.  The sentiment was computer generated using the font Juice.  I added a few diamantes here and there to finish it off.


The inside has the same papers, dies and font.


I hope you can join us with this fab sketch at Seems A Little Sketchy!

Let's Have Some Fun!

Wednesday, 12 February 2014

 As Dr Nick (From The Simpsons) would say... Hello Everybody!

Me again!  My Second post of the evening/morning (it's quite late here!) in my vain attempt at catching up!  This time I have my card for the PunkYouGirl February challenge which started last Friday.  We also have a DT Call at the moment, so if you like making slightly alternative cards or other things then you should defo go over and put your name down!

We have a fabulous sponsor for this challenge in the form of Stitchy Bear Designs!

http://stitchybearstamps.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index
They're offering our winner $10 to send in their store!

So our challenge for you for February is...

Hearts & Harlequins!

Here's what I did...


The image is Clowning Around by BB Kakes and I coloured her with the following Copics: Skin;E21,13,00,0000,R20. Clothes;100,N9,7,5,RV06,04,02,BG18,15,13. Hair; C2,1. Eyes;YG23. Background;N5,BV31


One of the papers is also from our sponsor - Panda Bear Designs; Love Day Patterned Paper and I've teamed it up with a Basic Grey paper from the Out of print pad.  The black roses, charm, ribbons and gems are from my stash.  The sentiment is computer generated using the font Mistral.


The inside uses the same papers and font and a Spellbinder heart die.


So pop over to the PunkYouGirl blog to check out what the rest of team 1 have done for inspiration and remember to check back next week to see team 2's efforts!  And don't forget the DT call too!

Queen of Hearts

Tuesday, 3 February 2009

I was very cross with myself for missing the second challenge from Sketch and Stash - So I decided to get in early with this one! I actually had it mostly made last night but just had a few finishing touches to do tonight.

This is the sketch:

And my card:

Photobucket

A really lovely sketch! My new stash??? Pretty much everything!! New (for me!) Sugar Nellie Stamp "choose", New papers - which were a freebie for subscribing to "Quick and Crafty" magazine, new ribbon (Anita's) and it's the first time I used those brads even though I've had them a while - don't know the brand, sorry! And I also used my new mega nesties!

I coloured the image with H2O's and stardust pens, shaded with distress ink and highlighted with a glaze pen.

Glancing down my list of challenges I see that it fits a couple of others too!

Charisma Cardz challenge was to use black and white and one other colour... mine was pink! I didn't notice that the card fitted this challenge until I had it made!!

Daring cardmakers wanted to see 3 different patterned papers, I have 2 on the front and another on the inside - I hope that counts!!

Our creative corner wanted to see heart and Papertake weekly wanted to see hearts and flowers (there are flowers on the backing paper!) It's hard to miss hearts on a card at this time of year!!

Here's the inside (with the third backing paper!!)

So there you are! I hope you liked it!
