Sassy Crafts Dovecraft Comp

I've just been blogging and come across a blog I've never seen before, Sassy Crafts. They've got some lovely blog candy on offer from Dovecraft, all you have to do is to create a card, atc etc using at least 3 Dovecraft products. The comp ends is less than an hour so I hope I'm not too late! For my card I used the following Dovecraft products:

6 x 6 Designer Paper Pack - Amethyst Floral Prints
Dovecraft Brush Markers - Pastels (to colour Henrietta the hippo)
Designer Brads - Brights (to attach my flower)
Designer Clear Stamps - Hello!



I added a bit of bling with some glitter glue, some ribbon and button flowers from my stash. The image is from Pink Petticoat.

Papertake Weekly Challenge - HOT

This weeks PTW Challenge is to use hot colours so I've used some cardstock I had in my stash for a while but wasn't sure what to do with it. I've made a little card wallet for a friend on the Do Crafts forum. I saw this wallet idea in a French card mag so thought I'd have a go. I added the little sunflower to add to the "hot" theme. The image is Penny Black "in a pot"...

Tilda & Co Sunday Challenge - Serendipity

Hi everyone! Ok, this week's challenge is about Serendipity. Well I must admit I had never heard of this before, what the heck is Serendipity? Well in a nutshell... "The great thing about the Serendipity Technique is that ‘anything goes’. Basically you create a collage sheet and cut it up into squares (or other shapes) and arrange the shapes in patterns to decorate cards, etc." So that's what I did and I came up with this...



I used watercolour pencils to colour Tilda, and the wording was done on the computer. Ribbon was from my stash and the flowers were... er hum... cut from a bra I was throwing out (definately doing my bit for recycling there then). I liked doing the serendipity bit so will have another go at it soon! Have a lovely afternoon :o)

My Very First Tilda!!! & Stamp Something Monochromatic Challenge

Ohhh! Isn't she lovely! I'm so pleased, my very first Tilda arrived on Friday so I couldn't help having a play with here over the weekend. The only problem was that I didn't have an acrylic block big enough (she's very grown up tee hee) so I had to improvise with a TILE! Well anyway it worked so the result came out ok, I think...on both cards the paper is from PM Nostalgia Warm Collection, Stamps are from Dovecraft and Imagiscene (not sure if spelt right) and Dovecraft, ribbons, raffia, flowers, buttons and gems are from my stash. The pink & beige card is for the Stamp Something Monochromatic Challenge this week. Thanks for taking an interest and have a lovely day (yeah I know it's Monday).

Penny Black Saturday Challenge - 1st Stamp

Hi I'm back again! Having a creative afternoon after finishing my chores this morning! So here is my card for the first challenge on Penny Black Saturday Challenge blog, go and check out the blog there's so fab stamps up for grabs this week! The image was my very first Penny Black purchase, it's called "In a pot". I spent ages trying to decide which stamp to buy, I liked so many! But not wanting to be unreasonable and buy the lot (think o/h might have something to say, although he is very tolerant of my hobbies (or is that obsession - eek?), I went for this as I thought the bear looked so sweet and cuddly. I also thought that it could lend itself to different occasions, if you get what I mean?! I also got my crop-a-dile out for this one, which is fab for setting eyelets. Off to make myself a cuppa now, thanks for looking and enjoy your afternoon.

A Little Penny Black Cutie

Good morning! Whey hey, it's Saturday and I'm off work, got all the day to myself! So maybe that means a bit of crafting? Well today is the first day of the Penny Black Saturday Challenge Blog so I might have to get the old craft knife etc out today! I did make a card last night (in advance for the Challenge) but it's not been done with my first stamp so will have to do another one. I found the background paper in a stash that I haven't used for ages and forget how much I liked it, it's from a company called Clover. Anyway...better get on with the challenge!

Birthday Babe/Cute Card Thursday Challenge

Hi, this is for Ellabella, it's her Birthday tomorrow! I know the card has arrived so I can safely put it on my blog now. Image is from Pink Petticoat, coloured with pearlescent watercolours. And I couldn't help but adding a bit of ribbon & a few buttons (it's an illness I know, but there's no treatment for it so can't help myself lol). Have a really fab birthday Tracy!!!
