Caardvarks challenge

I couldn't resist the temptation of this weeks Caardvarks challenge which is "Did you ever know that you're my Hero Arts?" - I also couldn't resist buying the japanese doll stamp set from hero arts the other week, and this was the perfect opportunity to give them their first outing!! The challenge is actually a fab sketch, and there are some great stamps to be won!! Sorry, it's a bit rushed (yet again), got to get out for a run!

Stamps used: Hero Arts
Inks used: black stazon
Colouring method: sakura stardust pens
Cardstock used: SU & other from stash
Other Embellishments: punched greeting

one card, how many challenges??

Here's my entry for this weeks Forever Friends Challenge which is to use ribbons, it's also my entry for the Papertake Weekly challenge which is "shape up", and the ABC Challenge which is X for X, and also the Caardvarks which is seeing spots!! how many more challenges can I get it to fit in with!! hee hee - feeling cheeky today!

Cute Card Thursday, My Time to Craft and Caardvarks

I've been really stuck for ideas with all these "autumn" themes, and also halloween - I just don't have a need for halloween cards, and that means I don't have much stash for these cards, but I've managed to come up with this card (it looks better in the flesh than in the pic), for 3 challenges - the Cute Card Thursday challenge which is "Autumn", the My Time To Craft challenge which this week is "get doodling" (I've doodled around the edges!), and the Caardvarks challenge which is "Scoring". I only have a really basic scoring board, so I scored the background paper - not sure if you can see this in the pic. I used a set of stamps from Stampin' Up (that I forgot I had), which happen to have a pumpkin option to use in the window (I bought the set because I liked the window and the interchangable bits to put in the window!!!). I used (for the very first time) my machine that prints greetings - I can't remember what it's called!!!
I used chalks to do all the colouring, hope you like! Probably the most basic card I've ever made!

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.
