March Daffodil

-
Another CAS card today - this one uses the cheery daffodil stamp from the For The Love Of Stamps Birth Flowers range.




I used watercolour pencils to colour the daffodils. The papers are from the Beautifully Bright Perfect Backgrounds stamping pad by For The Love Of Stamps. A very simple card this one, but I think it allows the bright colours to pop out.




I will be entering this one into the following challenges:
Creatalicious #130 anything goes with optional wishes http://creataliciouschallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2017/12/challenge-130-anything-goes-with.html
Crafting With An Attitude #34 anything goes http://craftingwithanattitude.blogspot.co.uk/2017/12/challenge-34.html
Creative Knockouts #226 anything goes http://creativeknockouts.blogspot.co.uk/2017/12/226-anything-goes-star-stampz.html


Well we didn't get to Ikea for more craft storage, instead we are waiting until the room is decorated before we start buying a load more furniture! But I am sorting my pen storage out at the moment which is something that needs to be done - the thing about buying more craft stuff is that you start to wonder where you're going to put it all!
Wishing you all a very happy new year and best wishes for 2018 - thank you for all your kind comments in 2017, they really make me smile!

It's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Catz and this week our theme is anything goes with the optional twist of "layer it up". Digi Doodle Studios  is our sponsor for this week and they kindly gave the team our images to play with - I've chosen to use the beautiful Bella Butterfly digi stamp. I used my Spectrum Noir alcohol pens to colour the image. The butterfly paper came free with an old issue of Papercraft Inspirations and the other patterned papers are from the Bebunni range off a Crafters Companion CD rom. I used some pink core'dinations for the mats. The part of Spellbinders adorning squares that I cut down. I added some white Nuvo drops to finish. The card size is 6"x6". I will be entering this one into the following challenges: Creatalicious  #134 anything goes with optional girly Lil Patch of Crafty Friends #77 anything goes My Bestie Spanish Challenge #45 todo vale Digi Doodle Studios #3 feminine fancy Penny's

Crafty Catz Challenge - One For The Girls

Hello all, hope you are well. As some of you may know, I was GDT for Crafty Catz Challenge for January. But they have asked me to stay on as part of their design team...and of course I said yes! We have a new challenge for you today - it is anything goes with the optional theme of "one for the girls". This week Star Stamps is sponsoring us, and they kindly gave us some beautiful images to play with. On my card I have used the Belle Chibi digi stamp. The digi stamp was printed onto Canson "C" à grain paper (it has a bit of a "tooth" to it so is better for use with coloured pencils than a super smooth card) and I coloured the image in using my Spectrum Noir Colourblend pencils. I really enjoyed colouring this one in - I'm pretty happy with how the pleats turned out but I definitely need to practice a bit more! I inked around the edges to give more of a vintage look. The papers are from different pads picked up cheaply (some are some old Paperma
