This Genie has attitude!

Hi there, its a beautiful sunny morning here in my little corner of the UK and after a really stressful weekend i've booked a day off work. I'm planning a little gardening and lots of crafting but first I wanted to share this card made another fab image from Digi's With Attitude!

She is called 'Grumpy Gretchen -Genie' and you can find her here

I've coloured Gretchen with promarkers, its the first time I've really tried darker skin tones and I'm pretty pleased with the result (I used walnut, cinnamon, cocoa and tan). The corner stamps are from Chocolate Baroque  and I've matted the image on some red and black card punched with a MS doiley lace punch. The bp is from one of my favourite craft cds, its called Decadent Brocade by Artylicious and you can find it at Chocolate Baroque too.. I've edged the bp and the black mat with a gold krylon pen and added some black and gold ribbon from Crafty Ribbons to finish off.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Anita B: Anything goes

Crafty Ho's: Sketch or use a rubber stamp with a digi stamp (I've used rubber and digi stamps)

Digital Tuesday: Little Women

Do You Stack Up?: Scallops

Sugar Creek Hollow: Monochromatic

Thanks for calling by today, I'm going to do battle with the dandelions now as the garden is full of them at the minute. Why is it weeds seem to grow faster than plants?

Happy Birthday CD Sunday

CD Sunday is celebrating its first birthday!! So of course the theme for this weeks challenge is

"Happy Birthday"

I'm really pleased to be Guest Designer for such a special challenge and in honour of the occasion decided to put my stamps away and get printing. i've used a beautiful bp and decoupage from Debbi Moore's Evergreen' cd and printed them on pearlescent paper.

The BP is matted on gold mirri card and the decoupaged lady is glittered to highlight the pattern on her dress. I've added some green ribbon from Crafty Ribbons, some gold mirri die cut swirls and made a shrink plastic 'Happy birthday' charm. I die cut the shink plastic (nestie labels 4) and stamped Happy birthday on it with ivy green brilliance ink and covered the back of the shink plastic with galaxy gold brilliance ink. I made holes with my cropodile and then heated it with my heat gun. I added a green heart shaped bead from my stash and attached it all with jump rings. To finish off I've added some pale gold dew drops from Crafty Emma's

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

A new challenge at Let's Ink It Up!

Hi there, time for a new challenge at Let's Ink It Up and this time we want you to

'Show us your Stitching' Any kind of stitching is fine, real or faux as long as you remember to use a rubber or clear stamp on your project.

Our lucky winner will receive a fab prize from StampingScrapping who are giving the winner a set of stamps for their custom spellbinders dies!! What a great prize!!

I've made a little canvas for my DT project this time around. but i've really struggled to get a decent pic so apols for the dodgy photo lol

I created a crackle background on the canvas and the oval using silver ecogreen paint, PVA glue and a pale lilac acrylic paint and once it was dry distressed with dusty concorde and black soot distress inks. I've added a UTEE border (Cosmic shimmer arctic black) and stamped with a Lost Coast button border stamp, I added purple velvet ribbon, black lace and some lace coloured with dusty concorde distress ink. The stitch stamps are from Chocolate Baroque and the dressmakers dummy stamp is from MME. I stitched a ribbon flower and a skirt using some wide chiffon ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and added a black lace belt  I added some more stitching - a black and lilac beaded tassel made using size 11 and size 6 seed beads, it took me ages to stitch it. I used to do a lot of bead stitching but i'm very out of practice lol.

I added a cute little lady mouse from Crafter's companion, she is stamped with black stazon and coloured with inktense pencils. I cut her out and made a cut in the eye of the needle before threading through a little purple embroidery floss. I also used a needle stamp from Crafters Companion to stamp the pins, embossed them in silver and added a faux pearl for the head.

I'm entering this canvas in the following challenges:

Artistic Stamper: Build it up (layers)

Squigglefly: Fabric/Stitching

Simon Says Stamp and Show: Distressing

Sir Stampalot: ladies and fashion

Sweet Stamps: For the ladies

My teamies have come up with some gorgeous work for this challenge so if you have time stop by their blogs (links in the sidebar) and check out their work!

I've used bps from Raspberry Road Designs, yellow gingham ribbon from my stash and some yellow chiffon again from my stash All Michelle's lovely images are coloured with my promarkers and the bunnies both have a little black enamel accents on their noses. To make the candy jar I used the little Easter Eggs from the basket set and enlarged them. Once Id coloured them I cut them out and stuck them around the sides of the jar.

Catching up with some Christmas cards

I've got a little behind with my Bah Humbugging again, I've been making Christmas cards but my internet has been so slow I haven't got round to blogging them. Anyway here's my entry for this weeks challenge at Bah Humbug where the theme is Candy Canes

I've used the supercute Lizzie with Liquorice stamp from Whiff of Joy, coloured with promarkers and bits of card and paper from my scrap box. The hexagonal base card is from Joanna Sheen, I have big pack of lovely shaped cards that i hardly ever use so i decided to dust them off and use them.. I've also included a couple of circles for Hazels challenge over at the Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge

This would have been my card for the Christmas Trees challenge at BaH Humbug challenge just to prove i made it lol. Its a shameless copy of a design Barbara Gray made on Create and Craft a while ago, I loved the scen she created but didn't have the right stamps so i've used some of my favourite stamps from Chocolate Baroque for this card (New England Winter plate). The cottage and trees are stamped with black soot distress ink, I masked the moon and dusted more black soot all round the image with a shaving brush and then used a make up sponge to intensify the colour round the edges. The sentiment is from Clarity Stamps.

I'm entering this one in the challenge from Christmas Inspirations where the theme is make a Christmas scene.

Thanks for popping by today

A song in your heart at CD Sunday

Its my second week as Guest Designer over at CD Sunday and this week there is another fab theme : a song in my heart. I'd got some music related sheets printed off from Joanna Sheen's cd 'Dancing with Shadows' (one of my all time favourite crafting cds) when I spotted this beautiful silhouette of a girl dancing, now she really does look like she has a song in her heart.

I printed the silhouette out on acetate and then used some glossy card, masked a sun and  brayered a spring sunset scene using B&J Soothing Sunset (of course lol) and over stamped with some foliage stamps from Chocolate Baroque. The acetate is attached to the scene with some pale green pearl brads. The bp is printed from another of my favourite cds, 'Essence of Nature' by Artylicious and is matted on some black card.

I  inked some scraps of white card with B&J foliage ink pad and sprized with water, then I stamped the leaves with Sheena Douglass stamps and once they were dry I cut them out and decoupage them up with silicone glue. The flower is made from the scrap paper from brayering the scene, I punched out about 6 flowers with a woodware punch, scrunched them up and then layered them, adding some stamens and glitter in the centre. I also added some little curls of memory thread.

The sentiment is from Joanna Sheen, stamped on some spare card from making the leaves, cut with a nestie and layered on some more black card.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

2 Sisters: Spring

Challenge up your life: Masking

Craft us Crazy: Easter or Spring

Crafty Cardmakers Spotlight: decoupage

Dutch Dare: spring has sprung

Fabulous Friday: brads

If the shoe fits: Spring is in the air

Make it colourful: Colouring skies (I love brayering skies as its such a quick and effective technique but I'm not sure if this technique counts so just delete my entry if it doesn't)

Simon Says Stamp: spring colour or easter

I hope i've inspired you to dust off your crafting cds and join our challenge at CD Sunday this week. I'm looking forward to seeing your creations :-). Its a lovely spring morning here today, blue sky and sunshine so i'm going to spend the morning weeding :-) For some reason I love weeding, and generally pottering round in the garden and of course its even better when the sun is shining. Have a good day

Guinevere

Hi there, its my favourite day of the week and after a dull start the sun has come out too :-)

Today's card features the lovely Guinevere from Michelle Perkett Studio. I coloured her and then couldn't find any papers that looked right  (how annoying is that??) so I decided to get out my starburst stains and make my own.

I made two sheets of backing paper using pale pink and green shades of starburst stains on copier paper (I used alpine ice rose, ramblin rose pink, eidelweiss moss greeen and a little gator gumbo olive - you've got to love the names they give these colours lol). I covered one sheet with cling film and scrunched the other up and left them to dry.

Guinevere is coloured with promarkers and has green glitter for a bit of extra bling in her hair and on her headband. I cut her out with a nestie and a gold mat too. I used the scrunched paper for the main background and punched a border from the cling film bp. The lace is from WOC and the ribbon from Crafty Ribbons. I used the leftover scrunched background to make the flower - punched 3 flowers with a woodware punch, layered themup and added a gold centre and a rose from WOC. The flourishes are made from gold mirri card cut with a marianne creatable die. To finish off I added some faux pearls and dew drops from Crafty Emma's Store. I'm really pleased with the flower, especially as its just made from copier paper lol, you can see it better in this pic. 

Today our spotlight Saturday post at MPS is giving all the DT members chance to talk about their favourite charities. Its hard to choose a favourite charity but Rethink and Mind the two big mental health charities are very close to my heart (in fact I work for a small branch of Mind). I'm going to be doing a local craft fair later in the year ( a scary thought) and hopefully my cards will make a little money for our charity. Things are very difficult for small charities at the minute so every penny counts.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Cardmaking Mama's: embellish it

Crafts and Me: glitter

Freshly Brewed: flowers

Going grey with scrap creations: recipe challenge, my ingredients are ribbon, glitter and pearls

Mami Doodles: Use a punch or die cut

Pixie Dust: Lace it up

Tellen's Place: Sparkle and Lace

The Stamping Boutique: handmade flowers

Thanks for visiting today, I hope you are having a good weekend. After a nightmare of a week at work I've been out weeding and taken all my frustration out on all the poor dandelions lol, now I've had chance to chill out I'm going to have a couple of hours in my craftroom :-)

For my card I've used this beautiful new image 'Bunny Tween' available in the Digi's With Attitude! store here. Bunny Tween is adorable isn't she? I thought she had a kind of retro feel once I'd coloured her and found these gorgeous Easter bps over at Raspberry Road Designs.

Bunny Tween is coloured with promarkers and cut out before being layered up on a couple of heart shaped doileys. I've used a MS punch on the bp borders, added some gold satin ribbon and some lace from my stash. The paper roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the daffodils are from my stash.

Lilac wine with the Rainbow Lady

Time for a new challenge over at Rainbow Lady's challenge blog and this week our topic is 'Lilac Wine'. As usual we have a fab sponsor and this week our lucky winner will receive a  prize from Joanna Sheen

Here's my DT card for this week, I had to get my thinking cap on as I wasn't sure where to start with this weeks theme but then I found this beautiful digistamp from Squigglefly which I thought would be perfect

The image is coloured with promarkers and the glass is triple embossed with clear EP. I distressed the edges with lots of distress ink in shades of green

The bp is from Artylicious 'Essence of Nature' cd printed in green on one side of the paper and lilac on the other. I lightly drew around the edges of the image on the reverse of the bp and then cut an 'x' over the image shape, I stamped and embossed a swirly corner from Chocoloate Baroque in the corners and used a gold krylon pen along the edges. I rolled each side of the 'x' back and stuck the corners down with a little glue.

I embossed a large swirly corner on the corners of the bp and then layered it up over the image.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
