A Spoon Full of Sugar

There is a great challenge on A Spoon Full of Sugar this week. The challenge was set by Camilla
and she wants to see a colour combo with a twist... use brown as you basic colour, then you can choose either pink or blue to go with the brown.

I used Blueberry Hill papers which are great for distressing. After distressing (edge distresser and ink) I inked the edges with Vintage Photo. I got the vintage image HERE. The lace was bought from my local fabric store and the ribbon is East of India. The button, prima, brads and scrappers floss are from my stash. 

TFL and have a great Wednesday. It's a day for being inside looking out, so wet and windy!!

Weekend makes..

Good afternoon and happy Monday :) Today I have a few cards to show. Another long post filled with pictures so I'll keep the descriptions short :)

Firstly I want to show you two cards that I made with two of the new stamps released today by Pez-A-Doodle Designs. Along with these there are 2 more nestie frames with a Christmas/Winter theme.

This one I made using Christmas Portico. I stamped the image with Aged Mahogany distress ink and shaded the background with Old Paper. I then edged the image with Vintage Photo. I thought this Studio G sentiment stamp was just perfect with the image.

For second card I used Christmas Fireplace. I used the same inks on both cards and again, the sentiment on this one is a Studio G.

The very lovely Cheryl has also been working the new release stamps so do pop over to her blog to see what she's been up to.

This card is my DT project for Crafty Angels which was a fabby sketch by Caz, and also my entry for some challenges....

• Magnolia Down Under ask for a Christmas Decoration or Card. 
• Allsorts Challenge  want your project based on a Christmas carol or a song title....! (mine is Deck the Halls ['tis the season to be jolly] )
• Crafty Creations want to see metal finishes (my metal snowflake)

I used Magnolia's Santas Little Helper Tilda and coloured her with copic markers. I then added Polar White flowersoft to the trim of her hat. My sentiment is, again, a Studio G and the Papers are MME.

**-**-**

Finally, this card is one I made for Friday Sketchers, Cute Card Thursday (Teen Terrors) and Anyone For Anya (Make a Fake)... I added fake stitching around the image.

The image I used is from the My Guy Ian Collection from The Greeting Farm and coloured it using copic markers. The papers are from GCD Studio's Planes & Trains. I used the MS Checkerboard punch on my border and the buttons & twine are from my stash.

 

Apologies for such a long post.... ;)

Have a great day!
