Let It Snow!

 

Hello, thanks for your visit. The choice for the new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz is very apt,  we have had snow for almost a week long, but yesterday came a big thaw, and there is hardly any left. So it has snowed and hopefully there won't be anymore of the white stuff.  So our new challenge starting today is #262 Let It Snow!  Please check the blog for details and to see the inspiration from the design team. For my card I have used stamps from the gift stamp sheet with the  magazine Creative Stamping #90. Coloured with Promarkers an DI Tumbled Glass.  Lots of glitter added for the snow. If you click on the photo you may see the glitter. Take care, stay safe and stay at home as much as you can. 

Thank You

 

Hello, thanks for your visit.  Today at My Time To Craft we have a new challenge chosen by Mags - Thank You.  It is a time to say thank you to so many people, not just following Christmas, but for all our front line workers during this dreadful time of the pandemic, also to those helping us during the bad weather conditions - the snow lasting longer than usual over the past week.  Please visit the blog to check for dtails and to see the work of the brilliant design team. 

For my card,  I used a stamp from Julie Hickey - Fresh Flower Border - coloured with Promarkers with lots of  sprinkled glitter, a few sequins and small gems scattered.  The Thank You is a small stamp I hae had for many years. I hope you have a go at our challenge and enjoy crafting. Stay safe and warm. 

 

Something New in your Stash

 

Hello and welcome. Today we have a new challenge at Make My Monday.   Cindy is kicking off the new year with #139 Something New in your Stash.   Please check out the blog for details and of course, to see the inspiration by the design team.

For my card, a 5x7" white card. I was inspired by a card in a magazine, which also provided me with some new stash. Creative Stamping #91 had enclosed stamps by Crafter's Companion and an Embossing Folder, all used on the card. I also received from Santa a few new Distress Oxide inks. Which I used to watercolour colour the embossed background and painted the cups etc.  I hope you enjoy the challenge and thanks for your visit. 

Holiday/Christmas Treats

 

Hello, today we begin a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenges - which was chosen by Heather. #120 Holiday/Christmas Treats.  Please check the blog for details and to see the inspirational cards created by the design team. For my card, I have papers from my Christmas stash. I have no appropriate stamps for this challenge but found on Pinterest a few free printables of Gingerbread people, which I coloured with Promarkers. A quick card but who doesn't like gingerbread? Please stay safe and I hope you enjoy the challenge. 

T is for Traffic

 

Hello, Happy New Year to everyone. Today we begin a new challenge at Alphabet Challenges.  For the next letter we have T is for Traffic.  Please check out the blog for details and to see the inspiration by the design team. For my card I was inspired by a card I saw in the Creative Stamping Magazine #3.

I coloured the background of a piece of card. Stamped the car from a set of stamps - Around The World onto tissue paperr with Stazon ink, which was turned over and adhered to the coloured card.  I then stamped, coloured and cute out the car, adding to the card with 3d foam pads. The greeting is from the same set of stamps. Enjoy your crafing, please stay safe and pray for a better year ahead for us.

HSL Watercolour Challenge

 

Hello, can I say Happy New Year, never before has this meant as much as it does now, for we, all over the world are praying for a better year, for a year with the pandemic under control.  Today we begin a new monthly challenge at Happy Little Stampers - we have the Watercolour challenge. 

For my card, I watercoloured a block with 3 Distress inks. Added a sun template, coloured it with Spiced Marmalade. When dry I stamped with Versafine Onyx Black Pampas Grass by Inkylicious, added the birds and a sentiment by Crafty Roo Stamps. Brushed the edges with Spiced Marmalade.  I drew a fine line around the watercoloured panel for more detail.
