This week's challenge from Dare U 2 digistamp is a shape card - not square. Well unless the card is square I find myself struggling to make something that will at least manage to stand up! After trialling a few ideas I found this digistamp from the Greeting Farm which I had from their recent birthday bash - and boy does he make a super shaped card - quick, simple and oh so easy.

I printed Ian on cardstock, folded it just along his head, cut around the shape, leaving a piece at the bottom, so the card would stand, and there it was a shaped card! I have watercoloured Ian, and the sentiments came from the Popcorn the bear stamp sets, Party Time and a Gift for You. This would also make a super birthday invite too.....having said that Ethan has been planning his - only nine months in advance!

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).

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 weeks challenge from Dare U 2 Digistamp is a fabulous sketch. As a new design team member of Owl Whimsy Digistamps, I thought I would use this weeks FREEBIE (yes she is free) from Here (make sure you play along too - details here). This girls is called Suzie Q Diva - and comes in a set of six - all with real Diva attitudes and poses. I have been hunting through my masses of craft stash and found these papers, along with the pink cardstock on which I used the keepsake romance board to scallop the edges and a single hole punch for the holes. Green cardstock, heart and sentiment from my stash and the pink dots are sherbert pips from craftwork cards. Suzie Q Diva has been coloured with watercolour pencils and a gel pen for her shoes.

Summer is fast approaching, but it seems the weather has had a real downturn.......it has been so much rain over the past days...today inside it was darker than the winter months which isnt great for crafting! This weeks challenge from Dare U 2 Digistamp is Lillac and Lemon. I have used papermania paper for the background and some lillac and lemon cardstock which I found in my stash. The sentiment is black peel off stickers and the image I found here.

While going through blog land I came across a blog Dare U 2 Digi Stamp. I am a big fan of all methods of stamping and I love the fact that digi stamps can be resized to however big or small you want your image without losing the pixels and also you dont have to wait for the mail man to bring your stamp - you get it right away!

This weeks challenge is a sketch. I have used pretty head Rachel from the Greeting Farm. The black and white paper I had free with papercraft essentials magazine, black ribbon from my stash, red and silver cardstock, white gel pen for some faux stitching, and the flower in her hair made with my woodware daisy punches. I have watercoloured the image with pencils and given her some sparkling eye lids with Kirsten Lapping Designs glitter. The sentiment is a fabric topper which I picked up in a pound shop.
