Just Inspirational Challenges - Delicious Doodles.

Good morning blogland, this morning I am here with another challenge from 

Just Inspirational Challenges

& this week we are sponsored by the brilliant

Delicious Doodles

They of course have offered a prize for the lucky winner

Our theme this week is 

Use Kraft card or paper

& here is my make.

Now, I will confess I don't have any Kraft paper, sooooo I used the paper I had left over from wrapping my son's school books. I don't think it looks to bad. I stamped the edges with a little leaf stamp & mounted it onto brown card. I added some ribbon, handrolled roses & leaves. 

The flowers were also made from the paper. 

My image was coloured in promarkers before being mounted on brown card & I used a touch of green too.

There you have it, do pop by the main blog to see what the rest of the girls have come up with.

First Christmas Card of the year. - With The Stamping Chef.

Ok, so I know as a crafter I am majorly late starting Christmas cards, but I now have the grand total of 

1 done lol. 

The fantastic image I have used is from 

The Stamping Chef & she is called Winter Wishes

She is just adorable & perfect for all the males you have cards to give to,

& so here is what I have done with her. 

My paper has been digitally embossed & recoloured to suit my card & I matted it onto black cardstock to make it pop. I cut out the latte cups & mounted them, along with my sentiment before adding some punched glittered black snowflakes.

I used a glue pad to stamp snowflakes around the bottom of my digi & brushed over it with mica powder.

The fabby image has been coloured with promarkers & mounted onto black. I then added glitter to the white parts of the santa suit.

So there you have it, my first, of many Christmas cards, thanks so much for visiting.

Promarkers used: 

Skin - coral, sunkissed pink, blush & baby pink for the cheeks.

Hair: Cool grey 2, 4, 5 & black.

Outfit: Shale, burgundy, cardinal red & berry. 

I added touches of ice grey 1 to the furry parts of her outfit.

Shoes: warm grey 2, 4, 5

I used a background paper I had in my stash & layered it onto purple pearlescent cardstock.

I made a paperbow & some little roses & added them to the corners.

The image was coloured in promarkers & I tried to add the pleats, not 100% happy with them but they aren't too bad. I cut her out & mounted her on my card. So there you have it.

Just Inspirational Challenges - Stitchy Outlet

Good morning all, it's time for another challenge from team B at

Just Inspirational Challenges

Our wonderful sponsor this week is

Stitchy Bear Outlet

& of course there are some digis for the lucky winner.

The DT were given some wonderful images to use & our theme this week is

USE BRADS

& so here is my make xx

My card is a 6"x6" one, it has been matted onto silver mirri, I created the backing paper using punches in craftartist & added so digi marshmallows.

I also created my tag in craft artist, again using a punch to create it in the same papers as my bp.

I have used my promarkers to colour & added a touch of glitter to the wings, which have been done in soft pinks.

I used brads to attach the tag & the topper. It's a simple layout but I thought the digi was cute enough to pull it off.

The Stamping Chef - Zombified

Good morning all, it's unusual to see me posting on a Sunday morning but to celebrate the start of a new season in the States of The Walking Dead some of us DT girlies from 

The Stamping Chef

decided we had to have a play with The Perfect Digi

She is called Zombified & you can find her here

& if you would like to play with her, or any other image then there is a treat for you


Until the 14th October, you can get 25% off your order total using the above code.


We'd love to see some of your creations with her :)

& here is mine.

It was sooooo my very first zombie & I was like GULP lol, but I really really enjoyed it (once I found a colour combo I was happy with)

I printed out a digi paper & then stamped some splats onto it, I thought they looked like blood spats

I then die cut a frame & used it over a halloween type digi image. I wanted my image to be coming right out of the page.

I printed off some tombstones & added my sentiment (I love the bones of you) using craft artist.

The border I drew & cut out as I don't have the punch, boo hoo lol

Here you can see where she is coming out of the frame. I also cropped her to fit.

The colour combo I finally settled on for her skin was umber, khaki & almond & I went over it all with warm grey 2. The hair was olive green, green grey & warm grey 1.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you like my Zombified :)
