Bugaboo ~ Sketch and Colour Challenge

Happy Thursday Everyone

did you see yesterdays post?

I made some really cute Halloween tags using a Bugaboo set.

Whilst I was linking up I noticed there sketch challenge , I am not normally one for sketches but I thought it looked lovely so decided to play along ~ they also have a fun Colour challenge so I combined the two ~twice as much fun

I already had the fun images I wanted to use

Under The Sea Birthday Set

It contains 3  images and 3 sentiments - Bargain to be had!

All the papers used are from Polkadoodles Starfish & Sandcastles collection

and my 2 Nautical Ocean Embellies can be found here

(totally love these emblies and they are kept out of reach from my Granddaughter)

The little Fish bowl was cut on my portrait

I coloured the images using Graph'It markers

and added a little stoney floor

I used Pan Pastels for the water and dusted around the sentiment with distress ink

For my project today I have made a little tag using old and new from Polkadoodles. I have used one of the new Christmas stamps - Christmas Tree Script I then used an older digi Lewis with teddy , I flipped the digi so he is looking up at the tree, a perfect match. The sentiment is from Christmas Wreath stamp set....

I used Distress Oxides on the background

and used Paints to colour up

Added a few sequins , a few doodles and a snip of bakers twine to finish

Using the wonderful

25mm Houses Ribbon

I used some Distress Oxides on the tag

With a few background stamps

I used the Doublet Die and matching stamp for the bird you can find that in the Polkadoodles Store

 here.

I also used a few circles of  White Gesso , The Happy New Home stamp was a freebie from a magazine

I doodled around the sentiment and tag edge with a fine micron pen

I finished off with a slice of lace

Happy Friday to you all, here is hoping you all have a great weekend

I have my Granddaughter coming to stay for the weekend, so there is sure to be lots of fun and  giggles along the way.

I am sharing with you a card and tag I made last week, I spotted a card using the same technique on Facebook, but when I went back for another look and to give some credit I could not find it :-(

I had lots of fun making my set and will certainly be making many more of these

The little images are so cute 

They are from

Digi Stamp Boutique and are called Penguin Fun Set

You can find them 

Here

I cut out the circle holes and dusted around with Distress Inks, and then decorated using the penguin set , I used Graph'It Markers to colour and glitter on the trimmings, but it seems my new camera has an issue with glitter and refuses to play nicely!

I finished off my card center and tag using the wonderful ribbon from 

Crafty Ribbons

9mm Music Note Ribbon

The perfect finishing touch

Gnome House & Tag ~ Crafty Ribbons

I so love being part of the Crafty Ribbons DT

We get lots of lush ribbons to play with stroke

While I was deciding on my  project I had Christmas in mind.....

But Then.............

I spotted them  Eeeeeeeekkkkk OMG Gnome Ribbon, Christmas was soon forgotten as I set to work

I made the Gnome House first, I cut it out on my portrait using red and white card stock

and then used the following

Gnome Ribbon - Mushroom ~ around the base

Gnome Ribbon - Garden Gnomes ~ for cut out Gnomes (can you spot the nosy one peeping out the door)

Summer Festival - Wellie Ribbon~ for the boots

Volcan Viscose White Lace and 5mm Gingham red/white ~for the curtains

I added a few die cuts and ladybird stamps and my little house was complete

I then made my tag ~ also cut out on my portrait

The ribbons I used for this are

Gnome Ribbon - Mushroom ~ around the base

5mm Gingham red/white ~for the top of tag

For the tag background I used Distress Oxides, and doodles round with a black micron pen. I die cut a few tiny flowers, painted them and then used Liquid pearls in the centers

I did a few circles using white Gesso and an old water spray lid (knew it would come in handy)

The Gnome is called Pete and is from Make it Crafty, he is  a real cute cheeky chappie. I coloured him up with Graph'It Markers. 

Thank you for looking

Winnie White Christmas - CAS Trio of Cards

Hi to you all I am back for another day of the launch party

Winnie White Christmas

There have been so many lush projects using the amazing goodies.
Today I am sharing with you my nightmare CAS cards , I normally try to fill every possibly space no matter what I am making.
But......... I really enjoyed making these cards I used the Design sheets from the
download kit

I cut them all out some bits I popped on with pinflair glue to get some depth , I also gave the pressie a black shadow with card stock.
All layered up using black card, not a colour I would usually use for Christmas but I think it worked 

I adore the buntings in this collection so,so cute 
Thank you for looking

Saturday Morning Sunshine

Happy Saturday to you all

I have made a lot of Christmas makes lately but decided although Summer is almost over , its not too late for a sunny make.

I wanted to use lots of yellows, who knows it may even tempt the sun to shine

For my backgrounds I used Distess Oxides with some droplets of water

I also used a few of the background stamps from Polkadoodles

The ohhhh so cute image is from Tiddly Inks

and is called

Wryn Beach Party

I also used  the lovely sentiment that came with her

* Love you to the beach and back*

to colour I used Graph'It Markers & Polychromo Pencils

Using glossy accents on her goggles and flippers

To finish of my card and tag I used some lovely ribbon from
Crafty Ribbons

Grosgrain Ribbon ~Swiss Dot ~ Yellow Gold /White (this comes in a lovely variety of colours)

Thank You so much for looking
