RED,BLACK + WHITE....

Challenge 24 this week at My Time To Craft is a colour theme "Red,Black + White",i needed to do a quick card last night for a friends son so decided to do one that i could enter in the challenge...i came up with this..

No stamping or colouring so very quick,the image (which is 3d) and the backing paper are from a download i've had for a while but had never used before,Tinkers Ark,by Tinker & Co,HERE.

Matted and layered using my Nestabilities,what did i ever do without these....finished off with black eyelets,alphabet beads and a star shaped button all from my odds and ends box...

DOWN ON THE FARM....

Down on the farm....Challenge 7 at Penny Black Saturday challenge... i decided to use the duckling stamp,and due to the nature of the challenge wanted to make my card look countrified,hence the gingham....

I coloured the image using prisma's and sansador,i'm really into these at the moment,matted and layered using my Nestabilities another favourite of mine.The flowers are paper ones which i have added my own centres to using a small star punch and tiny brads,i also punched some leaves out.

I've used some adhesive paper lace and the organza ribbon was a freebie from a mag.The gingham paper is from a DCWV paper stack,the sentiment also DCWV,is a rub-on from a quote stack,which i've attached with a tiny peg,the sentiment can be removed to add a message on the back if you so wanted to do.

I'm pleased with the overall effect.

AN AWARD.....

AN AWARD.....Oh wow,i've just found out that i've been given an award by Kerry,well you could knock me down with a feather...LOL.This girl's got talent,so i'm really pleased she even considered me,plus i've only been blogging for just over a week,just feeling my feet,i've alot to learn both craft and blog wise. I think i'm supposed to pass this award onto three people,you can tell i'm new to this..lol,but because this is all new to me and i'm still finding my feet,if it's allowed i'll award to three others at a later date,can someone enlighten me please on the rules if there are any ?
So Kerry thank you very much.

THINGS THAT GROW....

THINGS THAT GROW....is challenge 20 at CUTE CARD THURSDAY this week,well we all automatically think gardens,flowers etc....i wanted to think of something else,eventually came up with a pregnant woman....growing belly and baby.
The image is a Pink Petticoat one taken from the Lola Rose and her little sister Lilli CD,coloured in with prismas and sansador,3d the belly bit to make it look more of a bump,layered using nestabilities.

Sentiment also Pink Petticoat.

Paper is from a DCWV paper stack.Adhesive gems to finish.
