Altenew Inspiration Challenge

Hello bloggers. Happy weekend and all that!

My mojo seems to have gone AWOL in the last few days which is always a source of frustration.  I've  tried to get it back by playing along with Altenew but when I mixed the purple and violet alcohol inks, they pooled together and formed blue.  Which means my card doesn't really look like any of the colours in the inspiration pic...

I've used Hennah Elements with a couple of polaroid die cuts and flourishes, one in white and the other in green.

I'm also popping it over to Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday challenge which is Anything Goes!

Happy stamping!

MFT Colour Challenge

Hi again,

Second post of the day for the MFT colour challenge:

I used a few Copics to create the background and added one of the cute little elves from Santa's Elves.

Happy stamping!

Papertrey Ink - September Blog Hop

Hello again,

With the coming of Autumn in the Northern hemisphere there's lots of Autumnal themed challenges out there including this month's PTI blog hop challenge:

I used Watercolor Wonder and Autmn Abundance for my card. I was inspired by the vivid oranges and rustic browns and I've added a splash of embossed gold for a richer feel.  The colours are quite similar to those over at Time Out so it's going over there too and I used the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch.

Happy hopping!

CASology #313

Hello,

Here's an ultra quick card I did for CASology where the cue card is 'dress:'

I stamped this elegant dress from Waltzingmouse, smothered it in Glossy Accents and added a whole heap of sparkly glitter, cut it out and popped it on a piece of navy cardstock. Told you it was quick!

Happy stamping!

Bling it On!

Gday all, happy weekend to you!

I love Kim's sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches and put it to good use by making three Christmas cards using CAS-ual Friday's Snowy Sayings. They have a sequin challenge happening at the moment so I added some PPP clear sequins to the snowflakes:

 Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday challenge is to use some bling - I think sequins are classed as bling aren't they, so off it goes over there too!

Happy stamping!

Tweet Tweet

Hello, hello,

This is probably one of the quickest cards I've ever done for Addicted to CAS and Less is More:

The code word 'tweet' made me think of Waltzingmouse's Asian Gardens which hasn't seen ink for far too long - it was always one of my favourite WMS sets.  Since it has the pretty sakura blosssoms I knew it would be good to use for Less is More's one layer challenge to use florals.

Thanks for popping by!

MFT - Clean and Simple Birthday Challenge

Hello again,

I created another card for MFT's Superstar challenge. Note to self: read the challenge rules! I hadn't realised you could only enter one card per category. Not to worry, there's still The Birthday Project Challenge which also happens to be a clean and simple theme, so I'll pop it over there instead:

I used the now retired Die-namics Accent-It word die, a Stitched Mod Rectangle Die and Basic Shapes Circle Stencil. I covered the word die with Glossy Accents and added lots of clear glitter so it looks extra sparkly!

I've also added a good scatter of sequins so I'm linking up with CAS-ual Friday's latest challenge to use sequins.

Happy weekend!
