Ornate Blossom

Hello everyone, this week at CD Sunday Challenges, Christine has chosen Ornate Blossom for our challenge. Lots of good reasons to play with our CDs in finding some beautiful blossoms or blooms. I decided to go for one big blossom. The background and blossom have been made using a Debbie Moore Shabby Chic haberdashery CD. Not somewhere I would have first looked for blossom but fate drew me to these blooms. I really am not a pink girl, but something draws me to this card. Have fun in finding your blossoms everyone, I look forward to visiting you over the next week, usually I comment on the last day of the challenge, but I do get there.  Have fun. Caz

CAS - Use your scraps

Over on Moving Along with the Times   they have offered a challenge of a CAS card using up scraps. This card, including the actual card are all cut off pieces from other cards. The stamp Be Happy is from Sheena Douglas large Words set of stamps. Thanks for the challenge ladies, I enjoyed keeping the card CAS. 

Pink Cloissone

This week we are again happy to be sponsored by

Hi to all my visitors and followers. This week for my design card at Addicted to Stamps and More we are once again challenging you to a CAS project. Remember CAS is Clean and Simple. A lot of white or the main colour of your card should remain clean. I have recently for my class spent a session demonstrating and making cards with the Faux Cloissone (pronounced Klaw-zone) designs. The above card is an example. 

I used a Sheena Douglass branch to stamp directly onto the card which I heat embossed. The leaves and flowers from the same set of stamps were stamped onto spare white card. Coloured with H2O paints, when dried I adhered them to the branch. Once the adhesion was dry, I applied Glossy Accents to give the final enamel look. Stamped in the upper right corner is a stamped greeting from Hobbyart. I look forward to visiting you to see how you have created your CAS card this week. Take care everyone and have some fun.

Anything That Flies

Hello again, this week at Make My Monday Suzi B has chosen for our theme 'Anything That Flies'. Now I just love this kind of challenge, for there are so many topics to choose, I have recently bought this lovely stamp of owls from Little Claire. The background, if you have visited me in the past will recognise this as being one of my many shaving foam (cream) and ink refill drops piece of card. I love this method for until you have scrapped off the foam, you have no order what marbled effect you will have. I coloured the owls in with Promarkers. I hope you enjoy your creating your project , whatever form of flight, flying your choose.

'In Trouble Again'

I made this card with two challenges in mind. Firstly the monthly challenge at Crafter's Companions  Challenge blog - May's challenge is Masculine, using at least one item from any of their products. This stamp, called 'In Trouble Again' is from the Paintbox Poppets  stamps range.  The Design of the card was created following this sketch

from  Sketch Saturday. I used papers from my scrapbook papers stash along with some Core-dinations card. I used Promarkers to colour the little boy image. He so reminds me of one of my grandson's, who is also regularly in trouble. LOL Two lovely challenges combined on one. Thanks to everyone who created these challenges. I'll be back again. 

Weddings

Welcome to my blog, whether your a regular visitor or new, I'm so pleased your visiting me. Today at CD Sunday Challenges Sue T,  the latest recruit to the Design Team has chosen for this week's theme, Weddings, a suitable choice for the beginning of the Weddings season. I made a stepper card, one of my favourite shapes from the Robert Adams Fabulous Folds CD. I matted a layer of mirri card, then a layer of some beautiful white and silver paper, recently bought from Sarah at Peerless Designs. The main image is from Joanna Sheene's Vintage Romance CD. An additional ribbon and bow, small white flowers and a pretty leaf shaped charm. I again look forward to visiting you to see your wonderful creations for weddings.

# 43 Addicted to Colour

This is our 43rd challenge already, doesn't time go quickly? Here we are at Addicted to Stamps and More

and it is our week to challenge you with Colour, see the three colours above, you need to use all 3, of course not the exact named colours but as near as possible.  We the Design team, are also challenged, for we don't know what surprises our wonderful leader Kylie is going to put forward. I found this one difficult, I'll be honest for I am more a dirty, grungy creator, I don't often use such light bright colours, maybe I should  jump out of my comfort box more often, what do you think? Please pop over to the main blog for the DT have created some super samples for you.

I started by rubbing onto a piece of white card, with Faded Jeans (Blue), Worn Lipstick (Pink) and Wild Honey (Orange) I blended them all together, hence in some areas it looks green, combo of the blue and orange blended together. I heat embossed the dragonfly directly onto the card and separately onto card. I used H20's to colour the dragonfly. the stamped sentiment is from Indigo Blu, the dragonfly from Sheena Douglass and the small background flower from La Blanche stamps. Hope you like it, will be popping around to visit you, have fun with your creation, remember anything goes in the required colours.
