Multi Challenges

I had the most brilliant time on Friday and had a very inky day with a crafty friend, who has been a virtual friend for some time since we met last year.  I have so many new images to colour I think my OH might argue that I don't need any more stamps - haha!!  We also had a little retail therapy, and I bought some Tim Holtz's bits and pieces, the most scrummy My Minds Eye papers, and a few stamps .... so watch this space.

I am entering this card for several challenges.

• Whiff of Joy, Challenge 67, Swirls and Pearls
• Flutterby Wednesday, Challenge 97, and the requirement is for Angels, a Fairy or Butterfly - well I think Melinda Reading Book is a delightful angel
• Crafty Angels, Week 22, Fantastic Flowers
• The Corrosive Challenge, no 52, Wings
• Pile it On, Challenge 6, Let us see Flowers

The DP is MME Bloom and Grow.  I have coloured Melinda with Prisma pencils and used a mxture of Shimmerz and Stickles on her wings.  The pearl pattern was plotted out by hand, and the pearls stuck to it.  Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the punching was done with a Martha Stewart punch.
I hope everybody has had a good weekend.

Love is in the air .......

Well it certainly seems to be from the challenge point of view.  I normally don't do Valentines, but I loved colouring these  little Lili of the Valley bunnies - they are so cute.  This is the first time I have used Lili of the Valley, and their images are really easy to stamp with.

So what challenges am I entering this for:

• Lili of the Valley, 46 - Valentine
• Double Dutch, 36 - Be my Valentine
• Stamp with Fun, 45 - Hearts
• Creative Card Crew, 44 - Valentine
• Everybody Art Challenge, 78 - Valentine
• ABC Challenge, N is for New - this is a new stamp
• CRAFT Challenge, 36 - Love or Valentine
• Charisma Cardz, 5 - I love you
• Fussy & Fancy Friday Challenge, 3 - Hearts
• Stamp Something - Love Somethings
• Stamp Something for the weekend - Love is in the air, valentines
• Crazy for Challenges - Valentine
• By the Cute and Girly - Love
• Raise the Bar, 4 - Hearts

The image has been coloured with Prisma pencils, the papers are Basic Grey Sultry (I found them at the back of the drawer!), rose from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the ribbons and pearl string from stash.  The text is computer generated.

Thanks for stopping by.

Whiff of Joy Challenge, 65

Not sure if I have got there with this one for the Whiff of Joy Challenge, 65 - Love.

This is a fairly simple card, with Basic Grey papers, and the image of Willow blowing kisses and hearts coloured with Prisma Pencils and Shimmerz on her wings.

I have used the Martha Stewart valentine border punch, and decorated with roses, ribbon and a heart charm.

Thanks for stopping by.

Four-legged and furry - 4 in 1

I love this kitten stamp and the text that goes with it - both  from Clarity Stamps - and for me it sums up kittens let loose in the garden with all the insects of summer flying around.  This is for the Cupcake Challenge 76, and they are looking for something four-legged and furry.  I adore cats, and would have many more if I lived somewhere bigger, but my OH might decide he is getting pushed out!  So I am definitely not getting more ...

I am also entering this two other challenges

-  Creative Belli Challenge, no. 84, who require ribbon to be on the item entered for the challenge,
-  Cute Card Thursday, no. 98, who want something with spots and dots
-  Lucy's Card Challenge, no 5 - Polka Dots

I have stamped this with Memento ink, cut out with Nesties, and used My Minds Eye Bella Bella paper .  The ribbons, flower and charm are from stash.

Thanks for stopping by.

Butterflies - 2 in 1

I am entering this card for two challenges:

• Quixotic Challenge, and the requirement is for butterflies in some form to be shown on your challenge item
• Flutter by Wednesday, and a butterfly, fairy or angel should be on the card.

 For this card I have used a background paper from an Graphicus Guild pack that I have had for a while.  I took the colours for the rest of the card from that.  The glossy card has been resist stamped with images from a beautiful new theme plate, Patchwork Butterfly, also from Elusive Images, and the Create image is Hero Arts.  The background for Create has been coloured with distress inks which I dabbed on to a craft sheet and sprayed with water and swooshed the card over it, and while is was still damp sprayed with glimmer mists.  Ribbons and Moments tag from stash.
