Sea-gals Skinny Challenge #3

Over on Sea-gals this weeks challenge is Jokers and or Jesters. I have nothing for Jesters so used the joker out of a mini pack of cards (from a christmas cracker).

Toppers, Tags & ATC's Challenge #5

Over on TTA's this weeks challenge is in the theme of Plants/Trees/Flowers. For my topper I used the tree stamp from Sir Stampalot, the stamp is just a bare tree (no leaves or flowers on it) I used a brush marker pen straight onto the stamp rather than an ink pad. I then used a slightly damp paintbrush to pull the colour into the tree trunk from the stamped image. Then I used a couple of SeeD stamps to create the leaves and flowers. I used a SeeD border stamp, then mounted up onto coloured card.

Red Button Fairy

I made this button fairy this week and gave it to my sister in law today, who has had an operation this week. I wanted to give her something personal and I knew she would like this as she loves anything red and also likes fairies.

InchbyInch Challenge #1 ~ Incorporate a Word

Over on InchbyInch, this weeks challenge is to incorporate a word in your work. I stamped a womans head and added the word 'Woman'. I gently stamped over the whole inchy and round the edges with a silver ink pad.

Arty Girlz Challenge ~ Make Your Own Background

Over on Arty Girlz this weeks challenge is to make your own background. I coloured a piece of card with lilac ink and stamped the fairy image. The layer below was coloured the same lilac then I stamped over it with a text stamp. I mounted these onto a piece of purple glitter card. I used the same text stamp to create the background on the card too.

Sea-gals Skinny Challenge #2 ~ Time

Over on Sea-gals Skinnys this weeks theme is time. I used a clock backing paper and stamp from Crafters Companion. I decoupaged parts of the clock and added a brown organza ribbon and button to finish off.

Toppers, Tags & ATC's ~ Faces and Stitching

Over on TT&A's this weeks challenge is faces and stitching. I used a Marilyn Monroe stamp and stitched red heart on the corners. Sorry about the smudge to her lipstick!

My first ever Skiiny

April Card Challenge

Over on Auntys this months card challenge was set by Carol. We were asked to make a welcome home card. I decided to make a stitched card for this one.

Toppers, Tags & ATC's challenge #3

Over on TT&A's, this weeks challenge is to use circles and flowers. I cut out a tag and embossed it with a cuttle bug folder which gave me both circles and flowers. I added 3 paper flowers and a small ribbon and finished off with some gold coloured flowers and mounted it onto some browny/gold card.

Tilda & Co Stitching challenge

Over at Tilda & Co this weeks challenge is to use stitching in your work. I used metalic threads to give the look of waves and sea weed, along with Mermaid Tilda.

My lastest cake

I made this for my Sister In Law's birthday. It's a chocolate sponge covered with chocolate buttons and maltesers. The tartan is because she was and still is an big Bay City Rollers fan.

Arty Girlz Black & White Challenge.

Over on Arty Girlz this weeks challenge is black and white. I've also included this card into the Team challenges on Auntys.

The paper and topper is from a Crafters Companion CD for Men. I used silver CS to mount the topper and sentiment on, though it looks like green on here.

Tag, Toppers and ATC's Challenge #2

Over on Toppers, Tags & ATC's, this weeks challenge is to use glitter. I stamped this image, coloured it in with brush markers and added gold glitter to the stars and irridescent glitter to her wings and the moon. Finished it of with a piece of lilac ribbon.

We need to make changes. Someone I went to school with had lung cancer and was eventually prescribed cancer drugs, after a massive fight to get them. Sadly he died just 3 weeks after starting them. He'd probably be still here if he had been able to get them when first diagnosed. He was 46. :-(

Arty Girlz Triangle Challenge

Over on Arty Girlz this weeks challenge was to use triangles. I decided to do a triangle spirelli, mounted it onto a CD and made it into a hangy thing.....lol. Don't think the spirelli shoes up very good though.

Tilda Challenge - Mix & Match

Over on Tilda & Co, which is here this weeks challenge was to mix and match stamp. I've used Edwins body and Tilda's head, not sure which ones they are though.

Tags, Toppers & ATC's first challenge.

This is for the 1st challenge on Sally's new challenge blog which you can look at here. The theme was 'Birthday'. I used a Cuttle Bug embossing folder to emboss an ATC size piece of pearlescent card and rounded the corners with a punch. The image is from Pink Petticoat, coloured with brush markers and added white glitter for the sheeps wool, mounted it onto an oddment of purple card stock. The greeting was typed on the computer and the flowers were cut from a punch and a gem added in the centres to finish off.

Now come on everyone join in with our challenges. :-)
