Beach Bird

It's a new month so new challenge at Crafting with an Attitude.

I've used an image from our sponsor this month which is Beccys Place, and it is from a stamp collection called Smooth Seas.

I've coloured the image using alcohol pens, I enjoyed doing this image. 

The sentiment has been stamped in sepia. The bits are real seaside bits. i love walking the beach and collecting stuff . So on here I've added string, shells, real seaweed and real beach sand. It was fun.

The theme is always anything goes, so please pop over to the challenge and join in.

Pretty Floral

It's time for the new monthly challenge at Crafting with an Attitude.

 The theme as always is anything Goes.

I've used an image from Whimsy Stamps called Sweet Blossoms.

I've added lots of embellishments to this card including flowers, die cut leaves and scrolls, a piece of lace and a bow. It's such a cute girly image I thought it had to have lots of pretty bits.

Icecream

It's new challenge time at Make my Monday.

The theme this time is Icecream.

I have decided I would use an icecream for my Inspiration card and this image is from Polkadoodles called Icecream/Popsicle. 

I have coloured this with Polychromo pencils. I have cut out the image then cut a second and decoupaged it. The background paper has been made using an inked embossing folder. There is lots of die cutting on this card for the layers behind the image and the corner. The sentiment is stamped and layered onto card with a punched border.

Finally my inspiration for the new challenge at

Colour Crazy Craft challenge

We have no sponsor this month so I've gone back in time a little and used an old Magnolia stamp. I still love these designs but don't get chance to use them much. I have used a 8x8 background paper from First Editions paper pad called Spring Feast.

I have coloured the Tilda image and her parcels with alcohol pens. I have then cut her out and sat her on her lovely gifts. I have then die cut and distressed some layers, added some lace and a bow. The sentiment is stamped on a pinched circle tag and placed on top of a small doily die cut. I have put tiny pearls on the patterned paper to highlight some of the pattern.
