Papertake Weekly Challenge - Eyes Down

At Papertake they have a different challenge each week.

"So onto this week and it’s time for a game of bingo – Papertake’s first. 

Here’s the ‘card’  for you …. 

This one has a bit of a twist cos there are free spaces for you so if your line includes one of them you can use whatever you want for that square. But you obviously must use the other 2 items that are on the grid"

For my card I have taken the top line and used Fern Leaf Die Cuts from Little Claire's (Free), a Pearly Brad (Pearl), and a Spellbinders Blossom 2 Die Cut and a flower made from Tim Holtz Tattered Florals (Blooms). All made with white pearlised paper.

Bah Humbug - KISS-mas

Over at Bah Humbug this week there is a new challenge.

 

 

 

"On to this week and our challenge theme is ...

"KISS-mas"

We'd like you to 'pucker up' and create something to send Christmas Kisses to a loved one in your life." 






 







For my card I used a 3" square card, stamped a Papermania Mistletoe image onto some patterned paper and embossed in black. Finished with a bit of sparkly black ribbon!

PaperPlay Challenge 32

This week at PaperPlay the challenge is to create your own DP.

For my card I used Clarity Silk Art board and a selection of Ranger Alcohol Inks.
I then stamped the butterfly from Chocolate Baroque Butterfly Flourish and embossed with copper EP.
I blended some DI Antique Linen to take away some of the whiteness of the cardstock and finished with some seam binding ribbon which had also been coloured with the DI,

Less is More Week 28 - One Layer

There's a new challenge over at Less is More this week.

"The special feature we would like to see this week is for you to 

USE INK
** This does include ink pads **

...hopefully in a way you haven't tried before.... or using a favourite technique.

If you can avoid using the computer this week, that would be great, but we wouldn't want to to miss a week if the computer is your only method of card making."

For my card I stamped the butterfly from Patchwork Butterfly set from Chocolate Baroque with Memento ink and then masked it with a Post - It note.  I then stamped CI Script in Adirondack Slate and used a water brush to smudge it a bit.  Removed the mask and coloured the butterfly with Adirondack Stonewashed and DI Antique Linen and Spun Sugar again using the water brush.

Bye for now

Less is More

Now I'm probably pushing my luck here, but I've found out that Monmouthshire (aka Gwent) has its own flag!

So, as I'm busy making cards anyway (August is busy for birthdays) I thought I would do one in the Monmouthshire colours!


Stamp is from Butterfly Flourish by Chocolate Baroque and coloured with Promarkers.

St Luke's Charity Cards

The theme over at St Luke's this month is

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside.... 

 

For my card I have used Seaside Ted which was a free gift from Chocolate Baroque recently. Stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black and coloured with a variety of Promarkers [which I'm still experimenting with!].
