Penny Black Challenge 'blooming gorgeous!'

Well the little one still isn't well but both kiddies are now in bed and the hubby is on a school reunion so I can play - yippee! challenge time! LOL. This week on Penny Black we had just the words BLOOMING GORGEOUS and we had a free reign on what we created...

I have used an image borrowed from a friend - coloured this with my watercolours and then this is mounted on cardstock from SU! soft subtles and earth elements - beautiful... The DSP is also SU and from the mini catalogue they are called Tea Party and I love them! They fitted in so well with this challenge, the ribbon is also SU!. The flowers are punched from a woodware punch and the dots are craftwork cards...

I hope you like my card and thanks for looking - TTFN Debbi x x x

Secret Crafter - saturday challenge

This week was new beginnings and as one of my collegues is leaving to have a baby tomorrow I thought I would make her a card - she doesn't know what she is having so I have used lemon, pink and blue - to cover all the bases! The image is tilda from an image swap and I have used watercolour pencil crayons to colour the image - I have used a woodware punch for the flowers and the ribbon if offray. I hope you like the card and I hope Louise does too! LOL thanks for looking TTFN debbi x x x

SWU Challenge...

Here is another great challenge that I have entered today - over on Stamp With Us! I love the colours that the girls have chosen they are so bright and what a change from all the rubbish weather we have been having! As I look out of my window to the big grey clouds!I have used two papers from the new SU! washington range and the other two are the DSP colour range that was retired last year, I used 3cm columns of the papers trimmed with woodware trimmer using a victorian blade... I decorated this with three black brads, flowers punched from woodware multi daisy and fastened with brads and the setiment is cut from sizzix alphabet die wingo zingo. This is then backed on cardstock of the same colour...

Challenges... Penny Black Saturday Challenge!

Hello and firstly let me say a very big well done to Manchester United who are once again the Champions! LOL but what a boring game this afternoon ( I was watching and crafting at the same time - dedicated to both my causes! LOL )

The first challenge I did this morning was the penny black saturday challenge it was a recipe challenge here is what we had to do...

Recipe 3..2...1
Three Flowers....2 Papers.....1Charm/Brad

I coloured the image with my frfiends polychromo pencils - I NEED a set of these they are really good - if a little expensive! However they colour great and the effect you get is really good - you can build up the colour easily and quickly. I mounted the image on designer paper from my stash bought a couple of years ago from Ladyheyes in Frodsham - I can't remember the name. I then put three eyelets through the paper to decorate these are papermania. Down the side of the card I put yellow designer paper also from Ladyheyes (a few years ago I decided it was about time I started to use them LOL!) The flowers are a woodware punch multi daisy these are fastened with white brads from my stash. The ribbon and sentiment are SU! The single brad to decorate is from my stash I have also had that a couple of years.

I hope you like the card and thanks for looking! TTFN Debbi x x x
