Celebrating Gold!

This was a difficult challenge for me...but I finally got it!

I am playing the Paper Smooches 'GOLD' challenge today. 

I decided to use the sentiment from the 'scripted sayings' stamp set to create a background and the cocktail 'wise dies' glasses ( cut from shimmery white card stock) as the focal point. 

the god heart is dry embossed using  a Cuttlebug folder and I heat embossed two gold stars from the same stamp set onto the vellum. I finished off with some gold and white sequins.

I just love the way it has turned out.

I am also playing 'the Paper Players sketch challenge' with this card as well as the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday 'Anything goes' Challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Have a great day!

Scooting by!

 Hey there! I am playing the Paper players challenge #263, the Paper Smooches Sparks 'Anything Goes' Challenge and the Retro sketches Challenge# 182  and the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge 'Use a rubber /clear stamp this evening.
I used the Paper Smooches 'Spiffy scooters' stampset and the Mama Elephant dies and Tim Holtz distress inks to make this card.
I coloured the scooter with Faber Castell colour pencils and fussy cut the image.
The little leaves are from Stampendous and I like the fun way they seem to be flying in the wind!

Have a great evening!

 

Indigo Celebrate

I made this card for the retro sketches challenge #159 and the Paper smooches Sparks "Anything goes" challenge and the Paper Players 'to die for' challenge.

I have been trying to create this effect of Indigo for a while..and couldn't figure it out. Today, it happened...just like that!

I used a stencil from Winnie and Walter and sponged over the blue card stock with Memories Unicorn white ink.

After I heat set it , I added the glasses (Paper Smooches wise dies) cut from patterned paper from Creative Imaginations, some self-adhesive gemstones and finished it off with a sentiment from Paper Smooches.

I made a couple more cards with this background, so watch this space for more posts!

Happy Holi

Hey everyone!
For my official Craft adda post today, I have made a not so traditional holi card today inspired by this card by Ardyth Percy robb.

I've used Winnie and Walter (stripes) and Paper Smooches (I heart Art) stamp sets. 

The sentiment is from simon Says Stamp (handwritten borders)

I just love the way the neon colours pop on the black background, don't you??!

I have stamped one panel with neon inks (hero arts) and heat embossed the black panel with neon embossing powders. (American Crafts)

I added some neon velvet buttons and a sentiment to finish off the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hope you are having a Happy Holi!

I am submitting this for the Paper Smooches Sparks Anything Goes Challenge

Old school rocks!

Hey all!
Today I have three cards which I have made with the absolutely fab Paper Smooches Be boppin' stamp set, which I am submitting for this weeks Anything Goes Challenge at Papersmooches.

I just LOVE this old cassette...don't you?!

The sentiment for the first card is from Hero Arts and all the cassettes have been stamped, coloured, fussy cut and popped up with 3D foam tape for effect.

all inks are from Versafine and Memento, and colour pencils are from Faber Castell.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great evening!

Colour my life

Hey, everyone!

I have been down and out with a bad cold and cough...compliments of the season!

I haven't made a card in days, and I couldn't stand it anymore!

So here goes...

I made this card for the Paper Smooches Sparks Designer Draft Challenge, but missed the submission by a few minutes!!

I am submitting it also for the Moxie Fab World colour media challenge.

The Polaroid die is from Lawn Fawn and all the stamps are from the I Heart Art stampset from Paper Smooches.

Simple and fun, isn't it?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy!

A cup of thanks

A quick post before I go to bed... for the Paper Smooches Sparks  Picture Perfect Challenge.

All stamps are from the Paper Smooches Cyber Cafe stamp set and the pretty inks are from Memento.

What a fun card it has turned out to be!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Good night!!

Can I give you a hand?

Here I am in the middle of the night again! 

Today I have a card that I made for the Paper Smooches Sparks "Trend Watch Ocean" challenge and the Paper Crafts Magazine July Gallery Challenge.

As I didn't have the appropriate Paper Smooches Stamps, I decided to use a couple of free digital images and use the sentiment from the Paper Smooches 'Helping Hands' stamp set to go with it.

It's all about being creative, right?!

I have used Stampendous 'dot border' in summer sky and Brilliance white for the  really soft background, and Memento's Bahama Blue ink for the sentiment.

I love the way it has turned out...a fun card for a friend who is feeling bit down, maybe?!

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Good night!

Crayon fun!

Good Morning Everyone!! 

I've had this crayon box stamp from Verses rubber stamps for a while, and, when I saw the

Paper Smooches picture perfect challenge this week, I knew I had to use it!!

The sentiments are from the Paper Smooches 'Metropolis' stamp set and  from Verses rubber stamps.

To colour I have used Copic markers, Faber Castell colour pencils and Camel Oil Pastels.

Bright and cheerful, don't you think?!

I am also submitting it for the CAS-ual friday over the edge challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!
