A touch of red for Less is More and some other challenges

Hi everybody

Another beautiful clear blue sky, and a card from me.

I haven't entered Less is More for a while, and decided that as I had nothing planned this morning, I would make a card.  How unusual is that you might say!  Well at the moment I am also working on a lot of stuff to sell, as i have decided to take a stall at our village fete, which is quite a big affair, and I need to make sure I have stuff other than cards, so my kitchen table has been taken over as a painting station for a lot of stuff as well!!

My lovely spring-like tulips are from Fred She Said.  I have coloured with Copics, and the green frame is a piece of card recycled from a pack of Prisma Flowers, and tones beautifully with the leaves.

I am entering this for the following challenges:

Allsorts - blooming blossoms
Less Is More - a touch of red
Paper Sundaes - spring blossoms
The Rubber Cafe - spring flowers

I really appreciate it that you take the time to look at my blog and leave such lovely comments. Thank you each and every one of you.

A bit of bling .... for a DT Call

NOTE:  This post was edited to add the second card for the Flutterby Wednesday DT Call.


Hello everybody on this cold, snowy evening.  I hope you are keeping well and warm.  Outside the windows it looks so pretty with the newly fallen snow softly glittering.

I must apologise to everybody that I have not been around in the last couple of weeks.  I have had a pretty nasty fluey cold for around 6/8 weeks, but then it really kicked in with a vile stomach bug as well, and I just had to give in and stay put, and I have slept for what seemed like days. I  just hope it has gone now.

On to my card.  Flutterby Wednesdays have a DT Call running.  I just love working with 'winged' images, particularly fairies.  Flutterby are asking for two cards, and the is the first one.  The second will be added at the end of the post.  I wanted to do something bright and blingy and lovely seasonal colours - this image from Mo's Digital Pencil just fits the bill - and she is very pretty.  I have coloured with copics, papers are Basic Grey Jovial and I have added flowers from WOC, with a slight modification by the addition of crystals to the centres.

I am entering this card for the following challenges:

Flutterby Wednesday - DT Call - this is the first of the two cards required for the DT call
Flutterby Wednesday - must use an angel, fairy or butterly
Copic Creations - sparkle
All Sorts - Free and easy - anything goes
Digital Tuesday - sparkling digi
Digis with Attitude - anything Christmas


This is the second card for the Flutterby Wednesday DT Call.

T'was the night before Christmas ...

Another Christmas card today.  I bought this lovely Sarah Kay image - Noel Peace -  last year and never used it.  I think it is so sweet.

I have coloured this lovely little angel with Copics, and she is peeking out from behind the curtain at the night sky - hence all the crystals added to it.  My papers are from the Basic Grey Figgy Pudding range, and sadly this is the last of this particular one.  I edged all round the patterned paper with a versamark embossing pen and  dipped the edges into Starlight embossing  powder.  I have also done the same with the snowflake border towards the bottom.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, and I have removed the centre of the Christmas rose and replaced it with a brad.  The lush satin ribbon is an ebay purchase.  The acetate snowflakes are covered with Glamour Dust. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Allsorts Challenge - Twas the night before Christmas
Crazy Challenge - Wings
Kaboodle Doodles - Make it Vintage

DT Post - Lexi's Creations - Picture Perfect

Good morning to one and all
I hope you have had a great weekend, and have had some crafty playtime.

Monday brings Lexi's Creations and a new challenge.  This time we are asking for a photograph to be included in the project.  It does not have to be a card - it can be whatever you want - scrapbook page, tag, etc.

Our sponsor this week is Letraset

and the prize is some wonderful Promarkers.

So let's get on to my card.

For this card, I used a very pale pink Bazzill Swiss Dot cardstock, and combined it with two papers from a K & Co box of mixed papers.  I have used a Martha Stewart punch on the edges of the borders going down and across my card.  The leaves, dragonfly and swirl and all Magnolia die cutes, and the flower is Prima.  The sentiment, is from a range of brilliant sentiments created by Lexi, all available here. 

Why not pop along and have a look at the great range of images and sentiments design by Lexi, which are available at Fairy Dust Crafts here.

I am entering this for the following challenges:

AllSorts Challenge #70 - at least 3 punches - some of mine at dies - I hope that counts!
Saturday Challenge #101 - Anything Goes
Alphabet Challenge - U for unused stash - my unused stash is the box of K & Co paper which is the first time I have used it - I bought it last year!!!
Stamping Scrapping Challenge Central - Anything Goes
Glitterbabes Challenge #12 - anything goes - but it must have some sparkle - mine is on the swirl and dragonfly
Gingersnap Creations GC70 - Punches
