Tickled Pink Stamps sponsors Crafting For All Seasons

Hi everyone. I am a busy bee this week. I was asked to make some Christening invitations and I said "Of  couuuuuuuurse I will. noooooooo problem.. how many do you need?" .. I almost fainted when they said 30! I was thinking maybe 15-20 at MOST!!! So I came up with a pretty CAS design, but it did involve a lot of cutting and embossing. I will share them here on my blog soon. 

This week Tickled Pink Stamps is sponsoring Crafting For All Seasons Challenges and they have a colour combo to follow this week - Green and Yellow. All you have to do is play along for a chance to win a Tickled Pink Stamps prize.

For my card I used Lil Fashionette - 20's Evie and coloured her up with copics, to suit the colour combo. My papers are Memory Box - Minuet, matted and stitched to green, white and yellow cardstock. I added some coordinating flowers, yellow gingham ribbon, a lace doily and some pearl swirls for embellishment.

CES Challenges - Get ahead, Get a Hat & WCMD Candy

Happy World Card Making Day!! I have plans to get loads of crafty time in today {but can't say that out loud in case the kids hear!!}. Hubby is on childminding duty so we'll see how that works out, lol.  What are your plans for today?? Leave a note telling me what you have in mind for today and I send a little something to a random commenter.

This week's CES challenge is all about hats... you can use any image you like as long as there's a hat somewhere on your card. I used another oldie Maggie that I bought and have rarely inked her up. I've used copic sketch markers to colour her {listed at the bottom of the post}

 I cut her out using the Dahlia nesties and sponged the background using Brushed Cordoroy. I've recently been asked how I get the white edge on my image, this is done very simply by leaving the nestie die on while sponging. 

My papers are Memory Box Fernbrae and matched the autumnal feel to the card perfectly, so much so that I didn't use any layering except for the ribbon & lace. To embellish I added 2 hat pins, and I made a couple of photo corners to take the bare look off the top half of the card.

Copics:

Skin: E21. 51, 00, 000 & E02(cheeks)

Dress & Hat: YG93, 95, 97

Boots & Basket: E42, 43, 44

Leaves: YR18, E53

I'm also going to enter this card into Simon Says Stamp Challenge which is Autumn photo inspiration and another for Just Magnolia which is Anything Goes

Thanks for popping in today, don't forget to leave a note telling me what you'll be doing for World Card Making Day.
