all purple and pink!

Hi everyone, I haven't had much time for crafting this week, but manage to have made 3 cards this afternoon.
The first card has been made for this weeks Cute Card Thursday challenge which this week (as you can tell!) is lilac. I used some flowers that I made from fimo, along with ribbon and mulberry paper, a tag and some gems. It's going straight into the post to a friend who's fave colour used to be purple (when we were at school), so I expect it'll make her giggle!!

This second card has been made for a little girl who's 6 (obviously), but I have no challenge to enter it into, but I just had to have a go with my new Hello Kitty dies!

This last card has been made for two challenges - Penny Black Saturday Challenge which this week is funky christmas and also the A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge which is a great sketch. I coloured the image with sakura stardust, so it's lovely and shimmery, but hasn't really come out in the pic. I also used my new sizzix snowflake die and my cuttlebug die too.

Our Creative Corner - it's all in the colouring

Here are a couple of makes that I've made today - the first is a card which has been made using leftovers - the inside of my previous card, and the meshy stuff from my atc (below), and it has been made for the Our Creative Corner challenge which is "it's all in the colouring". I don't have a favourite colouring technique - I like so many, including using my prismacolours with sansodor, my sakura stardust pens and also water colouring. For this image I've used my prismacolours (but wasn't sure whether hedgies should be brown or black, so it's turned out to be a bad mix of both!! but I wasn't going to throw him away!), my sakura pens and also some glitter. I've also used my embossing plates and nesties, and some stars - all stuck on using my hot glue gun which is now broken - I'm off to buy a new one now!

I've also made an atc for our SBS swap, so thought I'd just share this with you all too!! The topic was "so charming", so I've used some fishy charms!

Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge - Tag

Here's a quick entry for the Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge. This week is to make a tag.

2 cards, 3 challenges!

I've made two cards today - one for the SBS18 Challenges - which is Oktoberfest, I used a SU mini card and stamped the beer image onto some ps, used the cuttlebug to emboss some backing paper and mounted that onto some su brown card.
The other card is for 2 challenges - Sketch Saturday and Our Creative Corner which is Bling on the Bling.
I used some adhesive shiny paper (that I bought ages ago and never used) to mount on the card, and also to use with the big shot to cut the letters and number. I added some flowery vellum, raffia and a stamped tilda image coloured with paints that are a cheap version of twinkling h2o's and my sakura stardust pens. The card is really very very sparkly, but it hasn't come out in the photo. I'm sure Anna will love it's sparklyness anyway!!!

Cupcake Craft Challenge No 7 - xmas!

Here's my DT card for this weeks cupcake craft challenge which this week is to make a christmas card. I made another pyramid card, using some penny black stamped images, coloured with sakura stardust pens, and wanted to make it a bit tree like with some fluffy fibres hanging down! Oh, and some gems too!

3 challenges in 1!!!

I bought myself a new cuttlebug embossing folder and had to find a reason to use it, so came up with this, and seeing as though the Spoon Full of Sugar challenge is to use charms, the ABC challenge is jewels, and the Cute Card Thursday challenge is lots of sparkle, I thought I'd try and combine them all together because I haven't had much crafting time lately!
I coloured the image with watercolours as well as sakura stardust pens, added glitter glue, some silver embossing and stickers, and ribbon and charm, and of course some butterfly gem "jewels"!!
I hope it fits all 3 criteria OK!

A spoon full of sugar Challenge 17 Christmas is Coming

I've been itching to make a pyramid card for ages, so here's my first attempt at one, and I thought I'd make a christmas one for the Spoon full of Sugar challenge.

I used a PB stamped image, with the bauble coloured with sakura stardust pens, the rest just watercoloured.

It's a bit of a rushed job again, I'm afraid - I seem to be so busy just lately!

SBS18 Challenge 15 Bling It On

I've definitely been busy today - made up for the rest of the week when I haven't been able to craft at all!!
I've made this card using a Stamping Bella stamp, some SU cardstock and stamps, I coloured the image with stardust pens, added some bling and it now justifies entry into this weeks SBS18 challenge which is Bling It On!! I'm not sure if you can see the sparkly effect in the photo - I'll maybe do another pic tomorrow if I get the chance!!

A spoon full of sugar Challenge *3 Ribbons*

I needed to make a thank you card for a friend, so thought I'd use the 3 ribbons and enter it for this challenge blog. I'm not going to tell you what the prize is because I'd really like it all for myself!!! Aaaah - how mean!!!

I used some floral paper, stamped some flowers and coloured them with my sakura stardust pens. The corners have been punched with my fiskars corner embosser punch!

Cute Card Thursday Bright Colours!!

Here's my attempt at a card for this weeks challenge, which is to use bright colours. I just hope mine is bright enough!!

I used sakura stardust pens to colour the image, used my nesties to layer it onto the card.

Caardvarks Challenge

I went for Kazan's sketch, and thoroughly enjoyed doing this with my new stamping bella stamp, and retro flower paper! I coloured the image with sakura star dust with my aqua brush to give a gentle sparkly dress, and also used my watercolour pencils.

Cute Card Thursday Challenge 18

Here's my entry for this weeks Cute Card Thursday. It's supposed to be "A Card for a Child", I pinched my 5 year olds stamp set for this one, and I think it could be sent to a girl aged between 5 and 10?? anyway, tried to make it all sparkly and girly, using sakura pens to colour the image, some gems, buttons, sparkly and handmade papers, and some of that stuff you knit with - can't think of the name right now. (stupid brain - does that sometimes!!).

hope you like it!

Just Because I fancied it!!!

I've never before quite understood why people did ATC's - but now I GET IT!!!
and i'm hooked!! just thought i'd make a set of 3, because I wanted to!!! I might even send them to some people, just because!

Cute Card Thursday Challenge 17

This weeks challenge is "The Great Outdoors". I bought myself the I Love My Garden set by Woodware - it's so cute, but I'm not sure about the end results of this card, but seeing how much time I spent, it's going to have to do!!
Coloured with watercolours and then sakura jelly glaze pens.
