Single Colour cards & a little challenge

I havent made one of these for a while and decided to ink up my new Magnolia stamp and make a single colour card. I used the cute tilda blowing hearts and stamped it with Stampin' Up! ink Ruby Red and then used my waterbrush to gently use the ink outline to colour the image in, just in parts. A little paper pricking, punching and flower making and I am done.

This is a really quick and effective way to colour. Why not try it... if you have made a single colour card leave me a message with a link and you can win some stamped images (of this Tilda)

I will close this little challenge in one week.

Orange and pink and 3 circles??? are you sure?!

Kim, bless her [said through gritted teeth] threw me a challenge. Orange and Pink colour scheme and including three circles. So here it is. I used one of the Magnolia images that she sent me, I coloured with prismacolour and Sansodor and I used two ribbon brads as one of my circles and the wording as the other. Oh how I had fun colouring these images yesterday, I have two more coloured but not made into cards yet. I cant wait to do them.

So Kim, I did it! Do you likey? I LOVE LOVE those images :) Cant wait to get some of those stamps. They are perfect for me as I just LOVE to colour and these are beautiful to colour.

I got the ribbon brads from Crafts U Love at their birthday weekend. I was demonstrating them and of course I had to buy one of each. There are 2 different colour ways, Bright and Pastel and three different shapes, Stars, circles and flowers. They have a special offer on for them at the moment. If you order them then tell them I sent ya :)

Bella, Brad and Buttons!

Kim challenged me to make a card with bella, Brad and Buttons. I managed to add a cream/browny button and the tarnished button looking thing is a beautiful brad that my secret sis Sherilin brought me :) I also used some lush ribbon and of course the beautiful gardening bella is veggiebella from StampingBella After yesterday mornings struggle with a card I was really pleased with this one. Mind you with beautiful supplies like these it would be hard to make it look bad!!

So Kim, what do ya think? and are you up for another challenge? Maybe we should do something with the Magnolia images you are sending me?

Ha ha Just re read (like I do) my post and I thought the title sounded like a dodgy film!! LOL

Same Stash Challenge has started

Kim, Kat, Samm and Shell have been sent their goodies and Samm has finished her entry already. Well Done Samm, I love the colours and the lovely felt flowers you have used.





Since you have done yours I thought I would post mine.

I sent all the ladies in the challenge, 2 x stamped images, a piece of black and white spotted ribbon and the black swirly cuttlebugged piece of card.

Cant wait to see the others. Here is a link to Samms Card

Challenge Ladies

Images have been posted to Kim, Kat, Samm and Shell. Samm I also posted your blog candy goodies :)

I will go through the challenge as it was sooo long since I set it :

I have sent you the following

2 images (same image) 1 for the challenge, 1 for you, or if you mess up the first you'll need that! or if you wanted to 3d anything.

1 length of ribbon

1 piece of embossed card (cuttlebugged)

You need to use all three but not the entire piece, so for the ribbon, I think I sent about 10 inches, so if you want to use the 10 you can, if you want to use 1 inch you can. the same with the embossed card, you can use all or just a piece. You can also ADD anything you want. So anything else you want to use for this is fine. As long as some part of everything I sent you is also used.

Can you believe I have already made my card for this challenge, yep, dont fall over with shock! LOL I will post mine tomorrow, when I expect you to receive your materials by.

Once we have made the cards please post to your blog, website, image hosting place and I can link them all together. Then when we have done, one of you will start the same, so you will need to send some bits to all of us :)

Cant wait!!

I am quiet pleased - challenge accepted and complete

I often look at other peoples blogs to see that they have completed loads of sketch challenges and other things and feel a little down, I struggle to make one card at a time! Samm you know I am talking about you amongst others :) Well when Kim got her bellas (see simply fairies blog) I challenged her to make a card using a bella with no pink or lilac and to include 2 ribbons. She challenged me back and mine was to make a bella card using no background paper to make my own. So here is what I did for my challenge card. I had a really stressful day yesterday, I desperately wanted to stamp but couldn't. Caiden refused to nap although he was so tired he cried non stop for 2 hours in the afternoon, he couldnt walk he was so tired but he just would not give in. I was also very tired and just not coping well.... anyway today is another day, today they are BOTH sleeping right now!! BLISS so I managed to complete my challenge.

So Kim, do you want to do another one???

Materials Used : Stamping Bella winobella, Penny Black Flowers, Cuttlebug flower die, felt, light blue ink, H20's to colour, ribbons, small seed beads for centre of felt flower.
