Have fun playing along!

Its the summer holidays - school is out so craft time is definitely out too, but I managed to fit a little time in today to make this card - well it was raining most of the day so we had to hit the indoor/at home activities today.

This weeks challenge from Victoria Case Stamps is Dark/Hot Pink, Orange and White. The image I have used here is a freebie from Victoria Case Stamps.



The papers I have used are from Pink Petticoat downloads and the sentiment is from Designer Digitals. I have used water colours to colour the image and some smooch in siren to add some definition to the flower petals. The orange card stock came from my stash (which is growing bigger by the day:)

Ok I couldn't resist these Popcorn Bear stamps - there are twelve sets on the market (but I bought only four this time:), available from many places but I bought mine from Card Craft as they also did free inland UK postage and I had mine within two days of ordering. I have used the stamps from the I love you set to create the card and the sentiments from the Birthday Cuddles set. I have also bought Party Time and Thanks a bunch.......which I will have a play with shortly. The stamps are all designed to mix and match so the sentiments from the other sets will fit the little posters that the bear is holding.
The papers I have used here came with simply cards and papercrafts issue 57, and for the first time I decided to decorate the inside of the card too - must admit I love this effect so will be doing more of this in the future! I have watercoloured the stamped images and outline the toppers with blue and some black doodling........off to try the other stamps:)

This weeks challenge from The Sugar Bowl is a sketch by Gayle - and amazingly I have managed
to make a card within a day after the sketch was released! The papers I have used here, all
came free with simply cards and papercraft magazine issue 57 (which I have a card published in - more on that later). The image of course is from Sugar Nellie - How quirky is she??
I decided to do a little paper piecing on all of the flowers in the image using the scraps of background paper and doodled the centres with some siren smooch. The ribbon is from my stash and the sentiment is a digital download from designer digitals. The shaped panels in the centre were free templates from Mel Stampz

This weeks challenge from the Owl Whimsy Challenges is a blog hop through the Owl Whimsy Design Team Blogs - you will get a free cute image to use, but you are going to have to hop through the design team blogs to find it - only available for 7 days or to 100 people for download.

I am also using my same card to enter the Dare U 2 Digistamp challenge - Pink, Black and white.

Wow Summer has arrived - the weather is brilliant! This Dotty Spotty card is for a challenge over on the Greeting Farm. I love this stamp which is also from the Greeting Farm - she is so chic! The background papers and the handcut stem and leaf I made using free download papers from here - aren't they stunning? The pink flowers I have cut from Dovecraft wild blossoms paper, the white daisy made using a woodware daisy punch and a black sharpie marker. Dotted ribbon and raspberry cardstock from my stash, Anya image watercoloured and smooch siren added to her dress and flowers and a little hand made tag with a handwritten sentiment. I have also used a sharpie pen to do some doodled dots on the scalloped layer behind the image. Peel off black dots have been used for the flower centres.

This weeks challenge from Dare u 2 Digi stamp is a fabulous sketch. I have watercoloured the image using watercolour pencils, the background papers and ribbon I found in my stash, craftwork cards sentiment, lilac cardstock from DS Crafts, and the image from Victoria Case Stamps. I have outlined the centre of the flowers and the edges of the petals with smooch pearlized accent ink (siren).

I thought these would make wonderful little notecards so decided to make a little box and fill it with some of these and the envelopes. The box is made using chocolate, cream and pink cardstocks, Sandylion paper, woodware daisy punch flowers and cream ribbon.

The week has flown by again so quickly. I have had little time to do any crafting for fun - I had a commisson for ten cards - mostly fathers day and this little cowboy on the right had his 5th birthday on Thursday.......so it was a birthday party and tons of baking to do. I also decorated 36 sacks for the cowboys and cowgirls......but didnt take a picture :(

This weeks challenge from Dare U 2 Digistamp is Chocolate and Orange - hmmm what a delicious combination.

I have chosen to use this beautiful image from Victoria Case - I think she is just stunning with that little bit of an attitude too! I have watercoloured her with pencils.

The papers I have used is orange floral from Dovecrafts Wild Blossoms range, and Doodlebug chocolate truffle. I have added some faux stitching with a white gel pen, the sentiment from Designer Digitals and the ribbon from my stash (Anita's range)

This is another sneak peek from the Owl Whimsy collection, which will be released on Monday. There is currently a challenge going on and the prize is this whole set - check here for details. She comes dressed in an outfit but there are additional dresses in the set so I have used one of those for her to wear. The fan is also in the set - I have watercoloured it and added a little gem. The image has been watercoloured and I have used a white gel pen to outline the flowers on her dress. The sentiment is from Designer digitals. The ribbon and sandal charm has come from my stash, the background paper from Dovecraft's Eastern Bloom range
