Challenges 1-2-3 It's been a week and I am back on my blog. This is such an improvement and one I hope I can keep up. Spent a week at my DD's and took some craft stuff and decided to do the Kratftin Kimmie Krafty Krop. There were 6 challenges and here are the first 3. We were given a sketch for each and they all had a extra element added. The 1st was distressing and I used Stripes the Zebra and coloured it with copics. The second card had pink as the extra element using Sugar and Spice and I love how this turned out. The last one on this post was to use an animal and this I did for my cat loving DD using the Feathers and Fur set. Card one Copics; Zebra: E000,95, C5,7. W1,3,5,7, Black1000. Grass: YG25,63.

The patterned paper is from Lily of the Valley 8"x 8" bonnets and bowties pad. Card two I used a flower and the leave...

January's Challenge - Dachshund in Love This year I am going to try and do my blog more often than last year. Should manage as last year was terrible. My first post is for the Gerda Steiner designs challenge . If you buy the image and make a card she will send you next months challenge image free. A great way to add to your collection and the images are gorgeous. I coloured the dachshund with copics, cut out some extra balloons and a nice simple card. The CS is all odd pieces from my stash and an old piece of alcohol ink background. The sentiment was an old one that was given to me so don't know from who. Stitched Squares from SSS Stamps, some twine and one sequin. Copics: Dachshund: C3, C5, C7. Balloons: BV0000, V15, V17, BG10, BG13, BG23, YR00,YR12, YR16. Shadows: E47, BV0000.

Tuesday, September 09, 2014 70 Steampunk or Urban Decided that I have to push myself to do something out of my comfort zone every now and again and this is the start. Saw a card by the lovely Jess Hawkins on FB and it went from there. Check her lovely blog here  . Have used an old Whimsy stamp from the KennyK collection called Biker girl and coloured her with copics. The paper is Kasier Basecoat and Bookprint from Docrafts Papermania. The graffiti is from  Little Miss Muffet Stamps  and sentiment from Just Inked Lined Born to be Wild  . I fussy cut the image and mounted it with the  sentiment on the card to add dimension.  I am entering this in the  70 Steampunk/Urban Challenge on Creative Card Crew

Day 1 I finally plucked up the courage to enroll in an on-line class and it's so much fun. The class is called Stretch your stamps 2  and the cards and techniques are all shown on video and there is a PDF download to match. It has a least got me back on my poor neglected bog. I have completed cards for the first day (background stamps day 1 & 2) and I'm pretty happy with them. The first two cards use the technique Multilayer Emboss Resist – Regular Background Stamps by Kristina Werner featuring watercolor resist.        The next card used Cut Out Portions of Patterns – Regular Background Stamps f eaturing portions cut from background stamp to create embellishments by Tasnim Ahmed I used a dye-cut on this card and love how it turned out. This next one I cut the background into diamonds. Faux Watercolor Stamping – Reverse Background Stamps by Shari Carroll The last was by Lisa Spangler  Mist Resist – Revers...

Have just about finished my Christmas cards for this year. All ready to post or deliver so should beat the rush at the post office. These two I did today for two old friends as I wont be able to catch up before Christmas. Used an image from the Penny Black stamp set  the Wonder . They are just so cute and seem to be getting plenty of use this Christmas. The first one was made using scraps so I have no idea of the name of the PP and coloured with copics. The border punch is Stamping up and sentiment was a present last year from my stamping group (ACTSA).  Copics: Hedgehog E50,53,55,74,77,C7  Scraf & Mittens B12,14,16,18 Presents B45,93,99,Y04,YR16,YG07,09,R46 Sled E35,37,Multi Liner Sepia Robin E25,50,53,R24 Ground W3,5, Blender 0 Shadow B0000 The same image was used for the second card, just used different colours, and stuck fairly close with the same basic sketch.
