Totally Gorjuss DT Challenge 15 - Paper Piecing

What can we say except WOW, we have never had so many entries as we did last week, has word finally got round about Totally Gorjuss? Thank you to all who joined in.

Net has set another fab challenge this week "Paper Piecing" this is one of my favourite techniques, just wish I'd not left it so late to make my card.

I've used one of the fab new Manga stamps from Funky Kits "Bloom and Grow" (delivered within 24 hours of ordering!) and papers of the same name by My Mind's Eye (a big favourite too) only the skin and hair is coloured with Copics.



Hope you'll all pop over and join us in this week's challenge.

Christmas Pledge Week 4

Well can you believe it's the end of January already? Over on DC Snoflake has set a Christmas pledge where we are to make one Christmas card for 2010 each week and this week if we've got all four so far we will be entered into a prize draw.



I've had a busy week, got an order for 20 cards and a table top sale in a couple of weeks so trying to make as many as possible also going to Blackpool on Sunday to spend the day with the DoCrafts Crafty Devils who are having a weekend retreat. I didn't dare leave hubby with the four children for a whole weekend, lol.

YAY I won a challenge and a challenge between friends

I've won the One Stop Craft Fancy Edges and Borders challenge. The prize is 10.00 worth of scrapbook papers. That's made my day.

It was my turn to set a Challenge for Sandy C and Suzanne 2 over on Docrafts, so came up with Monochrome, which meant no fancy coloured pens or pencils just black and grey.

This is what I came up with using an old Sketch. First time I've attempted to colour in monochrome, not bad for a first attempt I suppose.



I coloured my Miss Anya in with Prisma pencils using Black and the Cool Greys, the DP's are Papermania Charcoal collection and a few bits of card from stash finnished with ribbon and Prima flowers.

Totally Gorjuss Challenge 14 and some more

This is my DT card for this week's challenge over at Totally Gorjuss we want to see some dimension on your cards.

I've decoupaged my little Gorjuss girl's dress and boots and used the new Papermania Build a Rose stamp. Also added some Glossy Accents to the boots and flowers and the centre of the rose and leaf.

The Gorjuss Girl is coloured with Promarkers and the papers are some Bo Bunny ones I picked up at the bargain price of 25p a sheet. I Stamped the sentiment on the ribbon.





I'm entering this card into the following challenges

Passion for Promarkers - Girls, Girls, Girls

Papertake Weekly - Pretty Pink

Crafty Catz love challenge

Another fabulous week at Crafty Catz the theme is Love, it can be any sort of card but must have a heart on.

This card was also made for a challenge set by my Docraft buddy Sandy C for myself and Suzanne2. We had to make an ornate valentine card.





I used Papermania backing papers with some white and silver handmade paper from stash with some cuttlebugged cardstock. The stamp is by Tied with Blue from the big prize draw I won. I stamped and embossed it once then masked to overlap the second heart.
