A couple of challenges

I saw this lovely idea in Craft Stamper and thought it was so unusual just colouring part of the image and had to have a go.

Medium: Copics

I'm entering it into the Crafty Cardmakers "Birthday" challenge and Bunnyzoes "Vintage" was also going to be for Crafty Catz Buttons and Bows but I'm too late for that one.

Thanks for looking.

Back in blogland

Thought it was about time I got back into the swing of things. We just had a lovely week's holiday in Whitby and before that I was snowed under with orders and didn't have time to post anything.

Whilst we were away I caught up on some colouring as all my orders had been for fishing and cowboys some girly images were well needed.

Here's a selection of my latest cards, I'm going to do some blog hopping and check out the challenges later.

Ali-Craft's first blog challenge

The fabulous Ali-crafts have set up a challenge blog and their first challenge is to make something using a Sarah Kay stamp.

How could you not join in that one.

I chose Chloe's Kiss coloured with Copics and made an Easel Anniversary card for a friend. The papers are Kay & Co and again made a punched flower with matching papers.



It runs till the 8th May so you've plenty of time to join in.

Right I'm off for a cuppa and to put all my ironing away, hopefully by which time the postie will have arrived with the rest of my new Tilda stamps then I can play!

Cards with new stash

Well as the weather was so cold and horrible yesterday I decided to have a play with some of my new stash from my prize draw win.

Made a few simple cards, it was nice to do something other than Christmas Cards, which have all been sent, so that's them over and done with for another year.

Lili of the Valley Unicorn and Dragon coloured with Promarkers with My Minds Eye papers and Coredination cardstock





Monkey stamp by Stampendous coloured with Promarkers and DCWV papers



Happy Elephants by Little Claire, paper pieced with My Minds Eye paper, flowers and grass coloured with Promarkers.




Sarah Kay - A Kiss for Chloe, this one took a little longer as I paper pieced it using two different My Minds Eye papers, hair and skin coloured with Promarkers.

Easel Cards

Discovered these fab cards, they are really quick and easy to do, yet effective.

Made one for a Docraft friend's birthday and a couple of Christmas ones.

Welcome to my first post and a selection of my cards
