Sasayaki Glitter 1st Blog Challenge - Love

Hi everyone

I'm excited to announce our very first Blog Challenge over at Sasayaki Glitter and the theme is 'LOVE', very appropriate with Valentines Day fast approaching.

If you haven't already checked out these fab stamps pop over to the Etsy Store and join us in our fab Facebook Group here where we will also be running another challenge later in the month.

For my card I've used the fantastic Kitty Family digi which is available here which I have coloured with Copics.

I've used loads of scraps of various black and white papers from my leftovers box and matted them all onto hot pink cardstock and tucked in various die cut hearts and circles randomly!

To finish I've embellished with buttons and faux stitching.

We would love to see your creations so please do pop over and join in.  There is also a fab freebie available in the FB group.

Hugs

It's Blue Monday

Good morning everyone, how fast has this weekend gone, it has just been an absolute blur !

We have been preparing for our first camping trip this weekend, we aim to get there early so when we make absolute idiots of ourselves trying to put the tent up there won't be too many people there to see us lol.  I am not sure how I feel about being away from my craft stuff for so long but I will have to make up for it when I get back.

This card I have made with one of the images I have had coloured up for a while waiting patiently to be made into a card.  There are quite a few blue challenges on at the moment so I thought I would put it to good use.  I have made a similar design to this in the past using a different image and I love the way the pastel blues work with the kraft cardstock.

This is the adorable Amy from Wee Stamps.  I don't think she is available digitally any longer but you can buy her in rubber here.  As with all of Sylvia Zet's stamps she was an absolute dream to colour.

The papers are from the Petal Fresh pad from Lilli of the Valley and I've made the flowers using a combination of Dienamics Layered Rose dies and a Martha Stewart hydrangea punch and added some little blue pearls to the centres.

The butterfly is made using the Pippi Butterfly die from Memory Box.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges :-

Kitty Bee Designs Aloha Friday Challenge #50 - Birthday

Simply Papercraft Challenges - Challenge 7

Suzy Bee's Blooming Challenge Challenge 85 - Anything Goes with a Twist...something blue

Okay that's all from me for now, check back tomorrow when I will be showing you my first DT creation for Crafty Sentiments Designs :-)  

Have a happy Monday.
