New Year.........New Challenges

I'm back
Looking through some of the lovely new challenges I came across this fab bright and beautiful challenge from DYSU Challenge Blog  

Wonderful bright and cheerful colours
for such a miserable day







And the "Anything Goes" challenge at Stampin for the Weekend 
And the "over the Rainbow" challenge at Charisma Cardz Challenge

And here is my take on these fab colours

•  White square card blank
• Stampin up classic spots - Brights
• Swirl stamp - Waltzing Mouse "You're lovely"
• Sentiment - LOTV Circular sentiments

I hope this cheery card brightens your day

One layer apperture

I'm back and I've been playing again.........

My newest creation is for the Waltzing Mouse Sketch challenge

One layer apperture...

 

(again sorry about the piccie - having camera problems)

As with my last card I used masks and masking tape to get the effects, but this time the sentiment is on the inside and viewed through an apperture.

Distressing inks, feebie leaf, masking tape, post-it masks and WMS "say it with style" sentiment.

Hope you like it and it inspires a sense of adventure

Pink n Blue Wedding

I can at last enter the Lili of the Valley challenge, thanks to my new stamps. I am very pleased with them.
The challenge was a Pink and Blue,

I used the Lili of the Valley wedding couple stamp, ProMarkers - China Blue, Powder Blue, Dusky Rose and Cocktail Pink, Pink rose paper from my stash, ribbons, WMS - celtic heritage set and scalloped circle and circle nestabilities.

Been busy without broadband

My broadband is still playing silly beggers. So I have been quite consumed with card making.
Here are a few of my recent makes

I used my Stampin Up and Waltzing Mouse stamp sets, some green paper that was free from a mag, orange paper from my stash and orange distress ink (I can't remember the colours name)

For this I used Stormy sky distress ink, Waltzing Mouse stamps-Irish Blessings and Say it with Style, and some blue paper I've had lying around for years.

Here I used SWALK and Waltzing Mouse stamp sets, paper from the spring collection mag and a few pink pearls.

The adorable free Tatty Teddy stamp and Waltzing Mouse Say it with Style and Irish Blessings, Brushed cordouroy distress ink and again paper I've had for years.










All with corresponding ribbons

Well, I have to go now as my daughter and son-in-law-to-be are starting to argue.
So home I go and pray to the god of broadband to restore my connection.

Happy Anniversary - Less is More

My daughter has again allowed me to use her broadband, bloomin dodgy service providers.

I was quite fascinated by the Less is More challenge this week, "One Layer" in the frame 

and here is my card

I used my fabulous WM stamps - celtic heritage, large post-it notes (for masking), and momentos inkpads.
I had to mask off the swirly circles to add the frame and clover. Then just stamped the sentiment.

And a big welcome to Lisa Petrella, thank you for following

Joshua's Card

Hello all,
our internet is totally dead, but my eldest has kindly allowed me to hook up at hers.

I have been quite busy with my card making, I have created a card for my god-son, based on the Waltzing Mouse sketch challenge and the DeNami Colour challenge

Here is my card:

I made a kraft card blank and used my spellbinders to cut the portholes. I then used the same die lus the next size up to make the framework for the portholes. The submarine I stamped when I was at my friends (think I'll add this one to my birthday list), the seaweed and fish were drawn freehand. I added cystal stickles to the bubbles.
