Cuttlebug Challenge Be Inspired 22

This weeks challenge was to use glitter and stamping. I stamped the kids quote sentiment in brown ink layered onto coredinations card stock. The paper and butterfly are both K and Company Wild Saffron. The cuttlebug folder used was Paisley. I just added some glitter here and there on the card but didnt go crazy with the bling as per usual!! lol!!! this will surprise a lot of people

Paper Take Weekly - Dawnys Sketch

Another new stamp from the SECC. Penny Black again, stamped and embossed in gold and then coloured in with twinkling h20s, the paper is old from my stash and the gold card is punched with my Martha Stewart double scallop punch. I printed out the sentiment and added some gems and ribbon

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Recipe

This weeks challenge was a recipe of 3 brads, 2 ribbons and 1 flower. The stamp is new from my travels at the SECC (what a great time I had, I was there 3 of the 4 days it was on) I coloured it in with my new watercolours and then decoupaged it and applied some glossy accents. The paper is Melissa Frances and I used my cuttlebug for the top panel (swiss dots embossed on white card) The ribbons are both Anitas and the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards who I got loads of nice goodies from. I am going to send this to my Auntie Rita as a thank you cos I always go and stay with her on the Saturday night of the craft fair and then we go back in again on the Sunday (I know Im totally mad for it you are correct)

The Pink Elephant Challenge 4 - Recipe from Ellas Kitchen

This weeks challenge was a recipe to include die cuts and ribbon. I totally borrowed this idea from a stand at the craft fair at the SECC although she did it in black and white. All you do is cut a circle to match the ink (I die cut one on my Cricut) stamp part of the image (Penny Black Flying Stars stamp I bought yesterday) in Versamark then embossed in white. I stamped the main image in Brilliance Pearlescent Lavender on to a scallop card from Craftwork cards. Then embossed with clear embossing powder. You line up the die cut circle's image over the main image for a snapshot. People have probably been doing this for years but I thought it was a rather novel idea and had never seen it before. The sentiment is another Penny black stamped and embossed to match. I punched 2 hole and then thread and tied my ribbon. Added a few adhesive gemstones to fill in a blank space that need something.

Am away to try some more of these in different colours/stamps etc.

have a great day

Paper Take Weekly, Pink Brown and Orange

This weeks challenge was to use these colours. The papers are Anna Griffin and the stamp I borrowed from a friend but I think its Inkadinkadoo (waterolour pencils used to colour in). Used my Martha Stewart punch and nestabilities scallop rectangular die. Apologies for the picture its not the greatest.

Am off to the craft fair at the Glasgow SECC tomorrow with Allison and I am going to have a clear out in this wee room of mine so I dont double up tomorrow and buy things I already have!!! Lol!!

Thanks for visiting

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Something to Eat

This really was a challenge because I couldnt find a Penny Black Image with food of any kind. So I used a Pink Petticoat download instead. I used a Penny Black Enjoy stamp and made a background with brilliance ink. Used some pink card stock and added ribbon and some flowers with buttons
