Stamps and Smiles challenge card 23

This is my entry for the SASSC23 over at http://sasthefreshbatch.blogspot.com/

I went to my local craft shop on Thursday and bought several sheets of Bazzill Basics spotty card and knew this green was going on my challenge card. I stamped just the flower head from the SAS Hello Spring set and coloured with what else but Copics :o) Although I love making square cards it was a change to do DL.

Peachy Keen challenge 03

This is my second Peachy Keen challenge card for http://peachykeenstampschallenge.blogspot.com/2009/07/peachy-keen-stamps-sketch-challenge-03.html

I just love this sketch and really enjoyed making the card. Don't you think this is one cute elephant from Peachy Keen? :o) Used Copics for the colouring and I cut the round backing with the Cricut from the George & basic shapes cart. The ribbon came with a stamp order from Jennifer Meyer over at Stamps and smiles.

Made these just just for fun

I used these images to practice my Copic colouring then made up the cards to see what they looked like in situ.

I just love the ikkle wellies on this one :o)

DP from J&P Pictures on these first two.
I stamped the flowers, which are coloured with Marveys, all across on this one

Backing on these two is from K&Co

I really enjoyed making them as there was no deadline!

Many thanks to my good friend Viv for allowing me to use her birdie stamps when I was at her house last :o)

My first Winter Wonderland entry

This is my entry for Winter Wonderland's Christmas past challenge over at http://christmasblogchallenge.blogspot.com/2009/07/week-6-christmas-past.html I hope it fits the bill :o)

The main image is my own photograph taken at Elvaston Castle in the snow earlier this year.

I printed the sentiment straight onto the photograph. There is no name on the rubber stamp, which I have used many times. I stamped it 4 times and decoupaged it although it doesn't show up very well here. Snowflakes are table confetti. It was a very simple card (A5) to make :o)

Recipe:

BC is DCWV

Unknow rubber stamp

Simon Says - Colour combo for you

I made this for the Simon Says colour combo over at http://simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/2009/06/simon-says-colour-combo-for-you.html

The colour combo had to include at least two of the colours which are watermelon, kiwi, lemon, orange and pink. I think I have managed all of them :o) All colouring I did with my Copics.

I hadn't got anything watermelon coloured so I took a photograph and created a DP from it. Ribbons are yellow and orange, flowers orange, vase pink and the card is green for the kiwi :o)

Stamp Something - Christmas in July

This is my offering for Stamp Something's Christmas in July challenge over at http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/2009/07/christmas-in-july-somethings-challenge.html

I covered the BC with HOTP from stash. The stamp is one I borrowed at my very good friend Viv's house a while back, thank you Viv :o) Coloured with copics. DP was kindly donated to me by Pauline at Derby Dabblers last night because I forgot to take my Christmas papers! I'm afraid this weather has sozzled my brains, I was not in good cardmaking mode because a week of being mauled about by the oppressive heat and humidity has really taken it out of me :o(

Recipe:

BC is hammered white from PMS covered with HOTP from Christmas stack

DP unknown but may be PM or Dovecraft

Stamps unknown

Red card scrap from stash

Dovecraft edge punch

Made this morning.....

.....because I wanted to play with my new Copics. I have a long way to go and more colours to buy, but that will hopefully come with time :o)

I stamped the image at a friend's house some time back so sorry, I don't know where it's from. I added the black patches myself. Base card is Coredinations and it's the first time I've tried sanding! Not having a sanding block made it difficult so I have to put one on my shopping list! Papaermania DPand ribbon plus SU sentiment stamp. Not a very long list :o)
