Anything Goes Christmas #18

Hello again, thanks for your visit. Well the clocks went back an hour, 

on Saturday in the UK, I also feel as though the temperature went back

about 10 degrees.  So much frost this morning. Brrhh !! it was cold.

Today we start  a new challenge at The Holly and the Ivy Chrismas Challenges

The challenge is Anything Goes -  Christmas #18

Please check out the wonderful inspiration from the DT. 

For my card - the main image is the gorgeous reindeer from

Woodware stamps, coloured with Promarkers.

The background papers are from a paper pad in my stash.

Greeting stamp by Little Claire Designs. 

Anything BUT a card

Hello again, thanks for your visit.

Today we start a new challenge at Make My Monday.

Amy has chosen for the challenge

Anything BUT a card

Please pop over to check out the creations from the DT,

it would be a shame to miss them.

I have had this small chest of 3 drawers for a long time, 

I knew I wanted to paint/deorate it but didn't know until recently

what I wanted to do. All edges are painted with an orange acrylic paint. 

The papers I used are by Graphic 45 -Rare Oddities paper pad.

I adore Graphic 45 and Halloween so they are a perfect combination. 

Thanks for popping by. 

Favourite Flower and Why

Hello, at long last it appears as thought my chest condition has 

resolved and I can now function in a comfortable fashion. Health issues have

been a concern for the past two months,  so pleased to be back crafting

and blogging.

Today we begin a new challenge at  Cardz 4 Galz, Ina G our DT member

in Australia has chosen for us

Favourite Flower and Why? Yes you must tell us why you chose

your particular favourite flower. 

Please take a look at the blog, it seems that Roses are the most

popular choice of the DT, though there are others. 

For my card. I used a background paper from my paper stash.

The stamp I used is a Bluebell from Chocolate Baroque. 

Coloured with Promarkers.

The reason I chose the bluebell, is I love to see them in the pathways

and wooded areas, they smell so lovely and fresh. For me they are the first 

signs of the beginning of Spring. 

I look forward to seeing which flower you have chosen.

Halloween or Cats

Hello again, thanks for popping by.  I hope you are all well and safe
from any inclement weather conditions. Stay indoors and craft.
The challenge for the next two weeks at My Time To Craft (MTTC)
is Halloween or Cats.
Please pop over to the blog to see the amazing ideas from the DT.
I decided on Cats for my DT card.
The tag card, background papers and stamp used are from
Little Claire Designs.
I used a cute  Dinkie stamp of the cats. I used Promarkers to colour the stamp.
Added some lace and a gingham ribbon,
Have fun, please stay safe.

Autumn Colours

Hello everyone, thanks for your visit.

Today at Sparkles Monthly Challenges our new challenge

has started.  We would like to see Autumn Colours

It would be a shame to miss the lovely works from the DT.

 Please pop over to see their inspirations.

For my card I used a

Kraft scollop  edge card, matted with brown card.

Cream card - blended with Autumnal colour Distress Inks.

Stamps are from Dare 2B Artzy - Tangle Leaves were stamped onto 

a piece of card after playing with Brusho powders.

I hope you enjoy playing with your Autumnal Colours.

P is for Pumpkins

Hello again, thanks for your visit. Today at

Alphabet Challenges we have reached the letter P.

Tammy on the DT has chosen for this letter...

Pumpkins.

Please pop over to check out the DT's creations.

I have used the usual Orange and Black background to

display my design.

The pumpkins and the scarecrow are free digi stamps I found 

on Pinterest. I coloured them all with Promarkers and pencils.

Rather than make it a Halloween card, I thought it was just as

nice to say Happy Autumn - sending this message to you all. 

Monochromatic

Hello everyone, I hope you are well and enjouing your crafting.

Today we are statting a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz.

Chris has chosen for us Monochromatic. 

You can use a contrast colour to display your creation, usually this is

either black, white, or a darker or lighter shade of your chosen colour. 

I have chosen orange, I love this colour which is bright and warm.

Plain black and orange cardstock. 

A piece of white card sprayed with mica inks for a background interest.

The stamp is from Woodware Stamps - Cosmos Flowers, as is the

greeting stamp. I used Promarkers and pencils to colour.

Black gems added to the flower centres. 

Thanks for your visit.

Boo! Halloween

Hi everyone, thanks for your visit.  I hope you are well and 

enjoying your crafting.

Today we begin a new challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz. 

Not surprisingly, it being the time of the year we are asking

to see Boo! Halloween entries or if you're not into Halloween

for whatever reasons, we would like to see your 

Autumn Thank You cards. 

Please pop over to see the creations from the DT, it would be a 

shame to have missed them.

For my card, I have aimed for the younger male.

The background consists of DI blending, some ink sprays,

The Whitby Abbey stamp from Crafty Individuals, several stamps from 

within my Halloween collection of stamps. The main character of

Count Dracula is by Crafty Sentiments, coloured with Promarkers.

The main card is black cardstock. The glitter edging is strips of 

double sided tape sprinkled with fine silver glitter

Have fun everyone, take care of you and yours.
