Time Out Challenges Reminder!

HI friends!

I'm here with a quick post for reminding about our current challenge at Time Out, still running for about a week:

This challenge is sponsored by Uniko and I had fun using their background stamp (by it HERE) in my card! The panel I stamped with it seems to be all crooked but I promise it's just the photo, it's straight IRL. :) I decided to make a thank you card so I was inspired by the "be grateful" part of the inspiration sentiment. This turned out pretty masculine and CAS but I guess masculine thank you cards can be needed sometimes too! :)

Please head on over to our challenge blog for more inspiration from the design team along with all the challenge details. 

New Challenge at Less Is More!

HI friends!

I'm here with my DT card for the new ONE LAYER challenge at Less Is More: Winter Flora.

This challenge is sponsored by Uniko. Play along in all our October challenges and you could win a fabulous prize from their store! 

We are also thrilled to have Ankie, our August winner, joining us for this challenge as guest designer. Please head on over to our challenge blog for all the prize details and lots of inspiration! 

In my card I've stamped images from a new Penny Black set on kraft card and colored them with Copics. I added some pen details and called it ready -at once I restrained myself from splattering paint all over lol! The CASual Fridays sentiment is heat embossed with white powder. Hope you like and thanks for popping by!  

Christmas Card for Challenges!

Hi friends!

I'm here with a quick post with a card for challenges. This was inspired by THIS POST  by Dotty Jo. I found a new to me challenge blog through her post and also her little fox card gave me the idea for this card although the overall look is pretty different. :) Thank you Dotty Jo for the inspiration! The fox is by Lawn Fawn, the sentiment is by Winnie and Walter and the gorgeous snowlake frame is by Penny Black. The tiny snowflake die has come to me as a magazine freebie.

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

HI friends!

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

I interpreted this with using a mask in creating the design in my card but there's many different ways to be inspired by this word prompt -have a look at all the amazing DY samples in our blog!

I'm using wonderful products from the UK in my card: the peony stamp is by Uniko and the stencil is by Funky Fossil Designs. I've watercolored the flower, then masked it, and created the stenciled background with a pretty much dried out black Memento ink that is a nice neutral grey now in it's "new life". :) I've added some white and gold splatters because I seem to have a problem, I can't leave my flower cards without them these days!

Time Out Challenges Reminder!

HI friends!

I'm here with my reminder card for the current challenge at Time Out where we challenge you to be:

This challenge is sponsored by Newton's Nook and I'm using their fabulous Peony Blooms stamps and dies in my card. 

I've colored the peonies with Copics, die cut them and formed the card with the help of Marianne Design square dies. I just love these dies, the stitch is super detailed and I love how it's on both sides of the die cut edge! The sentiment, heat embossed with white powder, is by Catherine Pooler.

Please head on over to our challenge blog for all the challenge details and more DT inspiration! This time the talented Shawna is our guest designer -play along and you could be called to guest design too! Thanks for popping by and happy crafting.

Card for Altenew October Challenge!

Hi friends!

I'm here with a quick post with a card for Altenew October Inspiration Challenge. I used a fantastic flower stamp from a set called Weekend Doodles. The stripes in the flowers inspired me to make a striped background and I love how it turned out. I gave this to my boyfriend so I left the card embellishment-free... The stripes are pretty masculine and he can easily handle some pink and flowers lol! :) I colored the image with Copics. Thanks for popping by! 

New Challenge at Less Is More!

Hi guys!

It's time for a color challenge at Less Is More and this time it's Rainbow!

You can choose bright rainbow colors or pastel rainbow colors, just as you wish!

In October we are sponsored by Uniko . Play along for a chance to with a fabulous prize + to be called as a guest designer in a future challenge! 

In my card I've used fun flowers stamps from Uniko stamp set called Paradise. I thought the tropical feel of the flowers went well with the rainbow colors! I've colored the flowers with Copics and splattered black and white paint on top for a more artsy feel. The heat embossed sentiment is by Altenew.  Hope you like! Lots of more DT inspiration and all the challenge and prize details in our challenge blog HERE.

New Challenge at Inkspirational!

HI guys!

I'm here for our new challenge at Inkspirational! I've had to miss the last couple of challenges at Ink due to the busy life of real life duties but now I'm back. :) This time we have a photo inspiration for you:

I've been inspired by the leaf in the front of the photo. I used a Concord and 9th leaf die to cut a stencil for myself and used Memento and Distress inks through it to create the leaf. I added some paint splatters, stamped the sentiment (also Concord and 9th) and added some clear drops -I think they look a bit like water drops. :) Hope you like!

I'd like to play along:

Time Out Challenges Reminder!

Hi friends!

I'm here to remind you of our current challenge at Time Out:

Time for our yearly special challenge at Time Out where we are helping raise awareness of Breast Cancer. October is "Brest Cancer Awareness" month so it is the perfect time for this challenge!

Breast Cancer has touched most of in some way, either ourselves or Family/Friends, we all have our own stories. Early detection is the key and we should all know how and should be doing self breast cancer exams monthly - check here for how to do this and share with your friends too!

We are using pink for our cards/project because it stands for breast Cancer.

This challenge is sponsored  by CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!  Be sure to check out their online store!

Our guest designer this time is the talented Sidan. You don't want to miss her card or any work by our DT! 

In my card I've used products by our sponsor CAS-ual Fridays. I've used Be Stamp Set and Heart to Heart Stamp. I decided to have a go with our option of one layer and created this simple card with masking, inking, splattering and stamping. I tried to add different kinds of embellies but nothing seemed to work... So this stayed super simple. :) 

Hope you like and thanks for popping by!
