Biker Santa

I am so bad, this should have gone on a couple of weeks ago but something wet wrong and I forgot all about it. Looks like this fella won't be visiting me this year. I just had to put him on anyway in time for Christmas.

The image is from Dr Digi and he's called Harley |Claus. I've coloured hime with Polychromo pencils and then just added a die cut sentiment. I think he's so cool.

It's time for a new challenge at the Colour Crazy Craft challenge. Our sponsor this time is Bugaboo and this is one of their images called Ruby Christmas Drink. She looks as if she's already had a couple.

I've coloured her with polychromo pencils. The background is an embossed card then there is just a ribbon with a bow and a die cut greeting.

I've kept it really simple and I hope you like it.

I recently went to a fantastic weekend retreat with Sweet Poppy Stencils. I really enjoyed it.

This card is a result of the inspiring ideas from the fantastic Eileen Goodwin at that weekend. I love her work.

It's been done using Distress Oxide inks, gesso, Archival black ink, a white gell pen and Sweet Poppy Stencils. So much fun.

Cranes

It's new challenge time at Crafting with an Attitude. Our sponsor this month is Lemon Shortbread and this is one of their images called Japanese Cranes. 

The colour inspiration for this came from a painting I saw and really liked.

I coloured it with Polychromo pencils. I have layered the image using navy blue card. Then cut the edge decoration from some oriental blue leafy papers. I have added an oriental charm and coin to the top left corner. The corners on the image have been die cut and the sentiment is a peeloff one. 

I am quite pleased with the outcome.

Super Moose

The sponsor this time at Colour Crazy Craft Challenge is Bugaboo 

and this is one of their images called Christmas Moose Ornaments.

I have coloured Mr Moose with Polychromo pencils and the ornaments have been done using Gossip glitter brush pens from Stamps by Me. They are lovely and glittery shame it doesn't show on the photo. The image has been die cut using the Clarity Stamp picot dies, then inked through the die to leave a white edge.

I've been back on my scrap box again and used up some more left overs. The embossed background has been coloured with distress inks.

The holly has been die cut and red gems for berries and lastly some gold ribbon for the bow.

It's time for a little inspiration for this months challenge at Crafting with an Attitude.

Our sponsor this month is Digi Doodle Studios and this is one of their images called

 Rattata's Mistletoe.

I have raided my leftover box for this and I am trying to do more using up left over card and paper. I put it in because its to big to throw away and then never use it, so trying very hard to use some.

I have coloured this little mouse with polychromo pencils.  The holly leaves have been punched out and gems added for berries.

Better late than never, I'm so behind. But here is my card for the current challenge over at

The Colour Crazy Craft Challnge.

The theme is Anything Goes so really easy to join in.

I've used a Pink Ink stamp Giraffe and I'm so envious of those eyelashes. I've coloured it with polychromo pencils. The leaves are also in the stamp set and I've cut some out and layered them on top to add dimension.

Then just a simple sentiment to complete. Really like this one.

It's new challenge time at Crafting with an Attitude and the theme this month is Anything Goes.

The image I have used is a Crafters Companion Stamp.

I have coloured it using alcohol pens. I have die cut and embossed the background with a little ink in the folder to add a bit of light colour. Also the shading round the image has been added through the die so it gives a white edge.

I have added a little ribbon and a couple of cute shaped buttons to decorate. I made this for a work colleague who has just welcomed a lovely little boy to the family.

Flower Corner

Another Spring Blooms idea from the Hunkydory stamps set. I've coloured the image with Polychromo pencils. I seem to be using them a lot at the minute so easy to use.

I stamped the image onto a square card then cut part of it away to form a corner. I've then added some diecut leaves and paper flowers in a matching colour. The centre sentiment stamp is from the same stamp set.

Embossed Flowers

Another sample don using my Hunkydory spring flower stamp set. This time is a much simpler design. I've stamped the image and embossed it with gold powder on black card. 

The image and it's layers have been die cut. I have added a diagonal black ribbon and bow, plus a few black and white pearls.  The sentiment is stamped and has also been diecut out. A classic black and white card. Still more to come another day.

In the Pink

I've been playing with some new Hunkydory stuff again, this time it's a stamp set. It's from The love of Stamps range and it's called Spring Blooms edge it. I love these stamps, they're quite big so you don't really need much else on the card and they are lovely to colour.

I've coloured this one with Polychromo pencils and then cut it out by hand, which was quite easy too.

I have put it on a partially embossed white card, I've used the debossed side as I thought this looked better with my image. A piece of pink ribbon and the sentiment is also from the stamp set. 

There are some other cards to follow as these stamps just seemed to fill me with ideas.

Panel Weave

This is the second card made from my Hunkydory items. This card is made from the left overs of the last card. Very economical. This is still paper weaving but done closer together to make a proper panel. 

I've kept this a more clean and simple design with just a stamped sentiment and some candy dots. The stamped sentiment is also from Hunkydory but more about that soon.

Open weave

I have been playing with some stuff I've had from Hunkydory and this is the first card that I've made with it. It's been done using the Marvelous Mirri Lovely Lace pad.

I've used 3 different pages for the weaving and the background corners and one to die cut the leaves out of. It's a good weight and die cuts really well.

I've added some flowers to the leaves, a die cut sentiment and a pull bow to complete.

Cute Puppy

This is a card I made a while ago for my friends birthday. She would like a real puppy but I could only give her this one. This is also a temporary card in this months challenge at Crafting with an Attitude.

The image is from The Paper Shelter and is called Teacup Yorkie. I coloured him with Polychromo pencils. I kept the card rather girly and my friends favourite colour is pink.

So I just had to put on a big pink bow. He is really cute though.

Pot Peeker

It is time for this months new challenge from Crafting with an Attitude. The sponsor this month is Bugaboo and this is one of their images called Lily Flower Pot peeker.

I think she is kinda cute. I have coloured her with Polycchromo pencils.

The background die belonged to a friend and I cut it out ages ago to see what it looked like and I thought it would make a good background for this image, I have put copper metallic card behind to show off the design and added some gems and crystals to highlight the flower centres.

I really enjoyed colouring her.
