Card for Challenges

Hi friends!

I'm here to share a springy floral card for some challenges. The large bouquet image is by Waffle Flower Stamps, so is the label sentiment, the scallop rectangle is by W+9. I colored the image with Copics, added some gel pen details, gold paint splatters and gold sequins for detail. The friend-die I've borrowed from a friend, sorry I don't remember the maker of it! Thanks for popping by!

Simon Says Wednesday: Something Feminine

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for the new challenge at Inkspirational, this time chosen by our very own Inkspirational Carol:

I was in a mood for lots of stamping and coloring and created a fun and colorful and well, pretty random background with Waffle Flower stamps. :) I've colored the imeges with Copics and added white gel pen details along with black and gold paint splatters. Kind of wish I would have skipped the splatters... But at least they are tiny. :) 

Thanks for popping by here! Lots of more DT inspiration and all the challenge details HERE!

I'd like to join:

Simon Says Wednesday: Something Feminine (not all of the card is super girly but I think the lady bear with her bow and fancy tea cup is definitely feminine!) 

Time Out Challenges Reminder!

HI friends!

I'm here to remind you of our current challenge at Time Out where we are inspired by this fabulous photo:

I was inspired by the blue wall, the yellow table and the flowers on the vase! I used the amazing Wallpaper Art Stamps and Dies by Altenew in my card -Altenew is our generous sponsor in this challenge. Play along for a chance to win a fab prize and to be called to guest design in a future challenge! This time our guest designer is the very talented Maria F. Lots of more DT inspiration in our challenge blog!

New Challenge at Less Is More!

Hi friends!

It's time for a new challenge at Less Is More: 

 For example an elephant and a mouse, a large sentiment and a tiny image, a big flower and a small flower, a large square, a small square... Something like that! 

I went with big and small butterflies from our sponsor Uniko. 

I've had this set for a couple of years already and it's just so beautiful! I simply stamped the butterflies and colored them with Copics and added gold and black paint splatters. I made sure my paint brush was pretty dry before I splattered so I got these very tiny spots of paint - I first splattered on a scrap piece of paper until I had gotten rid of most of the moisture. Love how this simple little one layer turned out!

Thanks for popping by and I hope to see you playing along at Less Is More! Lots of more DT inspiration in our blog!

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

HI friends!

I'm here with my DT card for the new challenge at Inkspirational:

I've went with a very literal interpretation and used a Penny Black leaping bunny image. :) I've colored the image with water colors and pencils. The rectangle die is also by Penny Black. I used some patterned paper for the background -I couldn't resist this colorful stack of papers in my local book store and I guess I'll now have to try to use them! 

Please head on over to out challenge blog for more DT inspiration and all the challenge details. Happy crafting! 

Time Out Challenges Reminder!

Hi friends! 

I'm here to remind you of our current challenge at Time Out where we have one of our Inspired by Words challenges for you:

You can be inspired by the whole phrase or just choose one word/some words for the inspiration of your project. Our phrase today was especially chosen as we are celebrating the 8th Birthday our wonderful sponsor Uniko. Congrats Uniko and thank you for all your support! Check out the celebrations going on there by visiting their blog here. The words of this challenge are also celebrating the 'Random Act of Kindness Day' that was celebrated on 17th Feb.

In my card I've used one of my favorite flower stamps in my stash: Pure Florals: Peony by Uniko. I really love how this turned out! I've heat embossed the images with white powder and then sponged the base with pink and purple distress inks. I then used the exactly same inks to water color the images. The Verve Stamps sentiment is simply stamped. I think this might be one of my favorite cards I've ever made! Hope you like it too. Lots of more inspiration from our DT and super talented guest designer Sue in our blog!

New Challenge at Less Is More!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for the latest Less Is More challenge:

Use lots of small images/words/sentiments but keep the card CAS
how many small images/shapes are you able to incorporate to your design but still keep your card cas? For example tiny flowers, stars, snowflakes etc

We are continuing with our February sponsor Uniko. It's also the birthday month of Less Is More -full 10 years next year! :) 

In my card I've used a Christmas stamp by our sponsor Uniko which is pretty perfect for the challenge theme! I've simply stamped it with Memento, colored the outline images with Copics and added some Wink of Stella and white gel pen details. The heat embossed sentiment is by STAMPlorations. Hope you like and thanks for popping by! Lots more DT inspiration in our challenge blog. :)
