Stitches for OSCC

Hi everybody

Time for a new challenge at  One Stop Crafts  and this week we want to see Stitching - it can be real or faux.  I have used faux stitching.

All the stamps are B Line Designs, with the exception of the cross stitches, which is Tim Holtz.  My background has been done with Pan Pastels - must get some more colours!  The DP is from the So Sophie range which I have had for ever and hardly used, but I love the damask pattern on this and it seems to go really with the the vintagey feel of the stamps.  Flowers, lace and seam binding are all from stash.

I am entering this card for the following challenges:

Card Making Mamas - Something Old - My stamps are old
Digi Doodle's Shop Best - Anything Goes
Pan Pastels - Use Two of Something - I have two tape measures, two lots of faux stitching, and two carnation flowers
Moving Along With The Times - Blooming Marvellous
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Crafty Bloggers Network - Distressing
Creative Stamp Friends--Old fashioned or antique
The Crazy Challenge--vintage
Craft Your Days Away--distressing
Sugar Creek Hollow--go girly


Sponsoring us this week is Chocolate Baroque, who has become a regular sponsor for us, and we have a fabulous prize of a set of stamps worth a whopping £40.

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.

Hugs,

A white Christmas ...

An all white card that is very simple.

Simon Says Stamp is looking for something all white this week.  I have embossed some white shimmer card with a Christmas Tree and added dots of Ice Stickles to it.  I have given it a minute gold edge - I am useless with a Krylon pen, so this seemed to be the next best thing.  The whole thing is mounted on to more white shimmer card on to which I have embossed some lines.  Bad girl - no stamping - so hope it counts.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp - are you all white?
Craft your days away - all white
CRAFT challenge - dry embossing
The Creative Cottage Challenge - embossing
Patty's Creations - Christmas card
Creatlicious Challenge - all white

Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate your comments.

 

DT Posting - One Stop Craft Challenge has summer fun

Good morning, and welcome to another One Stop Craft Challenge, and this week we are having summer fun.

I have followed a sketch from this week's Lili of the Valley challenge. 

My little boy has decided he wants to sail his boat, so off he goes.  The image is Lili of the Valley, Sail Boat.  I have coloured in Copics, and have paper pieced the sail to co-ordinate with the background papers, which are all Bearly Mine designs.  The border across the card has a punched edge for which I used a Stampin' Up border punch.  The co-ordinating buttons have blue thread through them.

I am also entering this for the following challenges:

Lexis Creations, Challenge #19 - paper piecing, where there is also a DT call

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #95 - It's a man's world



Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate your comments.


 

One Stop Craft Challenge - DT Post

The theme at OSCC is Pink and Brown.  How easy is that you may think - well I love these colours - they go together well, and I thought easy-peasy - not so!  So I am not sure I am completely happy with what I have done ....

My image is Lili of the Valley - Glamourous Gardening.  I think if I gardened like this the neighbours might think I am mad - indeed I might tilt myself into the raised borders if I had high heels on!!!   However, I do have a big hat for sunny days.

I have coloured with Copics.  The papers are Stampin' Upm and everything else is from stash  No roses, but some paper flowers, which are all Prima, with a pearl brad through them.  I have also added some pearls to the bottom of the little girl's necklace.

Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate your comments.


 

One Stop Craft Challenge - DT Card

Good morning everybody

I hope it is not pouring with rain, like it is as I write this.  No more garden time for me if it is.  It has been lovely pottering these last few days, and lots of stuff coming into flower.  In fact it has been really difficult to do any crafting with the sun shining outside.

This is my first DT card for the One Stop Craft Challenge - the theme being swirls and pearls, which was chosen by the lovely Suzi.

The is the first inking of a Sarah Kay image I have had for a while (along with quite a few others!).  It is Olivia with her Kittens.  The image is stamped on to 300gsm watercolour card with Versafine Ink, and is coloured with Distress Inks, which I have not used for a long time.  My papers are Prima Flights of Fancy, with both sides being used.  I have stamped a couple of swirls, and placed pearls on them.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the leaves are punched with Le-Em punches.  The lace is from stash, rubbed over with distress ink.  The base card on this is dark brown, and the leaves dark green, byut both seem to have come out looking black in the photo.

I am also entering this card for a number of challenges:

• The Crafty Calendar Challenge - The great outdoors
• ABC - V is for Vintage
• The Creative Cottage - Blooming Charmin'
• Simon Says Stamp - Use pink or blue with green and brown
• Creative Inspirations - Distressed
• Inky Impressions - Flowers, with the addition of something else, according to the theme specified, I have used lace and pearls
• Pixie Dust Studio Challenge - Add a pearl
• Flutter by Wednesday - freestyle, but must have wings, ie. a fairy, angel or butterfly
• Stamptacular Sunday, - Pearls and Swirls
