My final card as a guest designer at Craft Your Passion

Today's card is my final time as a guest designer on Craft your passion.

If you don't know I have really been struggling with a very bad back this past week and haven't been able to sit to colour, which is a huge nightmare for me.  So I managed to get a card together not realising I was meant to be following a sketch.  I've been unable to sit and colour another image so I cheated and printed out one of my coloured images.

Here is the sketch you need to be following for this weeks challenge :

And here is my take on the sketch :

The main image I have used is called Steampunk Luca and is from Tickled Pink stamps.  The clock face was an SVG file I found on the net, not sure where.  The squares at the bottom of the card are by Delicious Doodles.  They come as black digi stamps and I just changed the colour of them and made them into little squares.  The embossed section on the cards is done using a the steampunk embossing fold in the clock and steampunk set, by Ranger.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges :

One stop crafts - anything but square

2 sisiters - boys

Its going to be Tickled Pink Christmas

So this week I have started my Christmas cards.  This is my first card that I have to share with you.

I am going to enter it into the following challenges :

Sweet stop sketches - the great sketch I followed.

Tickled Pink Christmas Challenge - anything goes

Paper Sundaes - Christmas

Stamp Something - Christmas

Anything goes - more than 1 fold

Bugaboo - Christmas

Craft your passion - text

So here's my card :

Isn't she so beautiful??  She's a dream to colour and you can find her at Tickled pink stamps here.

She is coloured with my copic's.  I used camel seam binding, and some stripy paper I found in the drawer.  The top PP is actually plain cream card stamped with a Christmas words background that I got for 99pence on ebay.

The snowflake charm was silver but I coloured it with my e37 copic to make it match the vintage feel.

Finally all papers are edged with vintage photo distress ink.

Happy Sweet 16 Charlotte

You know you're getting old with your neice's and nephews starting hitting those special birthdays.  In the space of 12 days my 2 nieces turn 16 and 21, and my nephew turns 11.  So expect plenty of  of special birthday cards in the next few weeks.

Todays card is for Charlotte who turns 16 on the first of August.

I am entering my card into the following challenges :

Mad for markers - Pink and yellow

Sketch Saturday - for using the sketch below

Digital Tuesdays - using dies (die cut butterflies)

Pixie Dust - girly

Do it with digis - spots or stripes (stripy paper used)

Tickled Pink - cute with a butterfly

Totally Papercrafts - girly

Allsorts - free and easy

Icopic - birthdays

Craft your passion - just for you

So what do you think?

The image I have used is Lil Lolita Kellita and as its digi week you can get her as a digi stamp.  She is coloured with my copic's.  I have added a little white dot on her eyes so that they look like they are shining and I also coloured her pupil in with black glaze pen to add to the shine.

The image, sentiment (computer generated) and striped and yellow card stock are all been given a edge of distress ink in spun sugar.

The butterflies were die cut, glued along the body to add dimension and then given an edging of glamour dust glitter. 

So until next time,

Hugs

Gotta love a red head

This is my first attempt at a red head and I'm quite pleased with how she has come out.

I am entering this card into the following challenges :

Mad for markers - red heads

Colour me creative - folds, pleats and ruffles

Emerald Fairy Garden - all things girly

Do it with digi's - monochromatic (except hair and skin)
Tickled Pink stamps - flowers

Pink Gem challenge - the sketch below

And here's my card :

Just realised I forgot to put gems in the corners of my image, will do it now and you will just have to imagine them.

My image is Lil Victorian Steampunk Lolita Evie and she's available from Tickled Pink Stamps, as a digi at the moment and also as rubber.

She is coloured with copics.  The flowers in the corner of the image are from a necklace Mum got me from our local supermarket for 50 pence and which I pulled to pieces.  The ribbon is organza with silver thread running up each side and is from my stash.

The papers are from my scraps drawer.  I am trying to use scraps rather than cut into anything new.  Doing well so far.

Thanks for dropping in today and I hope you came back soon.  I also wanted to say a huge thankyou to all of you who kindly leave me such wonderful comments, they mean alot and I can't thank you enough.

I am getting closer and closer to getting 100 followers.  When I get to 100 I will be holding a blog candy as a thankyou.

Totally loving Tickled Pink Stamps

This post is my final one as a  Fiskarette, my three months are up and it's time for some new designers.

Tomorrow I will go through all I've learnt about Fiskars products, my favourites pieces and what I now can't live without.  

The card I'm sharing with you all today features one of Tickled Pink Stamps Lil Victorian Steampunk images called Victorian Steampunk Lad Luca.  I really struggled choosing which one to have as I bought quite a few of the digis in the last week as a pick me up after having stupid amounts of pain with my back.  Ok more than quite a few, I bought 8.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

TotallyPaperCrafts - punches and die cuts

Bugaboo - its a mans world

Suzanne Deans copic Challenge - brown hair

Mad for Markers - brown hair

Tickled Pink Stamps - the sketch below

And here's my card :

Luca is coloured with my copics, and he is edged with vintage photo distress ink.

The BP has been edged with the same distress ink, as has the circle.  The papers are from my stash pile, the kraft cardstock has been embossed with Fiskars squares texture plate and then spritzed with perfect copper perfect pearls mist as has the circle.  The ribbon was from a set from TK Maxx.  The punched spotty strip is done with my fiskars bracket border punch.  The ticket was made by the every talented Marion.

Thanks for dropping on over,

Hugs
