Sunday, 7 August 2011

It's Sunday, so that means TWO challenges :)

Good Morning to my lovely peeps!

Hope you have enjoyed your weekend so far! Every Sunday we have TWO challenges:

The first up is Sentimental Sundays Challenge #67 and the theme this week is 'Flowers'

Now this is your chance to use ALL of your Wild Orchid flowers and go CRAZY!! Lol!

But I have instead gone for a simple monochromatic look which I find also very elegent!

The image is a white foam stamp I have had for ages but hardly ever used, the leafy border is a tiny Clarity Stamps stamp, the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.

It is hard to see in the photo but I made a layer for the image from gold heat embossing and then matted that layer on to a layer I distressed in Walnut Stain, as are the leaves and image. The gold line borders are peel offs and I matted the sentiment onto gold mirri card.

The next challenge for today is the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #122 which is sponsered by DRS Designs...

The Cupcake Inspiration this week is:



Here is my interpretation:

The pink is not showing so well in this photo but it is alot darker in real life :)

The image is from DRS Designs and I made the background layers: The base layer has been distressed with Walnut Stain and gold embossed with my leafy border stamp with touches of Gold Stickles here and there, the next layer has been lightly distressed with Walnut Stain and stamped and embossed with a Dawn Bibby flower stamp in pink and blue in Brilliance Dew Drop inks, which I then used water and brush to colour in the flowers with the same inks and added stickles to. The flip flops have coloured with Prisma pencils and blended with Sansador, the blue flowers have been glazed with glossy accents and I used gold embossing powder again for the smaller details. The sentiment is from Whinsy Stamps and I used my nestie circle and eyelet circle.

So, I hope I have inspired you to come and play along with these two fabby challenges which both end Midnight EST on Saturday 13th August.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit and I hope you will join me again for TWO more challenges on Tuesday for the Teddy Bo Challenge and new releases and Anything Goes challenge:)

Thank you so much for visiting and leaving your comments! It really makes my day special!!

Anything Goes Challenge #46 Pick of the Bunch - Flowers

Good afternoon lovely peeps...and what a beautiful day it is too...

Perfect for the card I have made for the Anything Goes Challenge #46 Pick of the Bunch - Flowers! sponsered by the Craft Den



It has been a very hectic time for me at the moment and I am a little late in posting my card but there is still oodles of time to join in our FLOWERY two week challenge! I really enjoyed making this card, as it always great to be able to load your card up with flowers and this challlenge makes that the perfect excuse to use them, the more the better!! :)

So, here we go with the inspiration...the sun was shining, so I took the photo outside and it really makes the card sparkle but also casts a few shadows too...

Well, there are flowers galore! I've used Magnolia Roses backing paper which has been layered on to cardstock which has been distressed around the edges with Brushed Corduroy, I also used Rangers White Dabber paint and a Joanna Sheen Ivy pattern stamp and embossed with gold around the edges...used the Magnolia Beautiful Tilda and coloured her with pink and brown Prisma pencils and blended with Sansador...

Added PLENTY of Stickles...LOL!

These flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts...


A heavily Stickled metal butterfly charm, which I bought on eBay... you can also see the gold embossed Ivy leaves too...

More beautiful flowers also Stickled and a pretty heart pin...


The digi sentiment is from Cuddley Buddley and I have used a stick glue around the edges and sprinkled with gold embossing powder and heated...

I hope you have enjoyed your visit and that I have inspired you to come and join us on the Anything Goes Challenge #46 Pick of the Bunch - Flowers which ends on Monday 8th August, there is also some incrediable inspiration too from our amazing DT girls, 2 guest designers and don't forget...

There is a Design Team Call too which ends on Wednesday 24th August...



Can't wait to see what you create for the Anything Goes Challenge #46 Pick of the Bunch - Flowers

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and I will be back tomorrow with some new inspiration for Sentimental Sunday's challenge :)
