Tickled Pink - Sponsoring The Corrosive Challenge

This week Tickled Pink Stamps is proudly sponsoring The Corrosive Challenge where the theme is "Not too Shabby - shabby chic or vintage style".  Head on over there and join in all the fun and you'll have a chance to win some Tickled Pink digis too.

For my card I have used the sensational Lil Perfect Match 20's Luca coloured in Copic markers and layered him on digi papers from Whimsy.  The playing card is printed off the computer and the sentiment is from Kaisercraft.

I really struggle with this type of card .... but I always enjoy it .... I love a challenge.

Thankyou so much for stopping by .... and don't forget to visit Tickled Pink to see some more DT creations.

A Bunch of Flowers for you .....

Good evening.  I hope you have had a wonderful day.  We have had lots of rain and cold weather here in Victoria Australia and I thought things needed brightening up with a celebration of colour and friendship ... so this is for you .... my blogging friend ... I wish I could give you a real bunch but at least a photo will last longer :)

I'm sorry about the terrible photo ... we haven't had any lovely sunlight as such .... so none of my photos were turning out.  I have used the super cute Wryn Blooms from TiddlyInks (here)  I have many of these gorgeous Wryn images ... but not all of them .... something I'm working on though :)

I have coloured Wryn with copic markers.  The purple cardstock has a lovely shimmery texture and I embossed the white with a nice floral embossing folder.

I hope this helps brighten your day.  Happy blogging and crafting.

Whimsy - Vintage/Shabby Chic Challenge

Another Wednesday!  And that means another challenge over at Whimsy.

This week it is Team B's turn to inspire you .... so be sure to check out their gorgeous creations on the Whimsy Inspires Blog  here.

The challenge this week is 

Vintage/Shabby Chic.

There is a fabulous prize up for grabs

For my card I have once again used this gorgeous image from the store called Little Bear Garden Delight .. you can find this gorgeous digi here.  I have also used some digi papers from the store .... I am totally in love with these papers ... they print out so beautifully and are so gorgeous.

I used a lace stamp in some lovely caramel ink down the side, distressed the edges and die cut some flowers (Marianne Design Craftables).  A couple of little brads in the centre of the flowers added a nice bit of vintage and voila ... card complete.

I do hope you join in the fun and enter your own card ... I absolutely struggle with this style .. so would love to see what you come up with so that I can 'borrow' your ideas (she types with a big smile).

Enjoy your crafting/blogging and I hope to see you again very soon.

Whoopsi Daisy - Shape It Challenge

Hello there :)  I hope you are having a fabulous day ... or perhaps you are just sitting on the fence .. deciding what to do like this gorgeous Fairy from Whoopsi Daisy.

 This lovely image is from Sheet No. 280.  You get at least four images on a sheet!  I really love this one ... she looks like she is contemplating a lot of things.

I have coloured her in copic markers and used Spica pens on her wings and dress.  (they never show up in the photos though).

Over at Whoopsi Daisy this week the challenge is 

Shape It .... 

so that means anything other than your usual square card.

I have used some sensational digi papers from Whimsy for my background.  I thought the swirls matched the image perfectly and that 'fence' paper was just what I was looking for.  The top lacy pattern was cut from one of my new spellbinders dies from the Morocan Accents range.  Isn't it lovely.

As you can see the bottom part (the fence) opens up and there is a little panel inside to write the message on.  (sorry couldn't get a decent photo on this cold, wet and dull day).

I have used some gorgeous antique brads to be the hinge for the gate.

Be sure to head on over to the Whoopsi Daisy challenge blog and see the gorgeous cards created by the DT ... and then enter in your own Shaped project ..... if you use a Whoopsi image you could be the winner of a special prize.  (you can find a FREE IMAGE here)

Take care ... and I look forward to seeing you again soon.
Big Hugs

Anything Goes at Whimsy

Hi there ... Wednesday again ..... wow the year is going so fast!

This week over at the Whimsy Inspiration Blog ... it is Team As turn to inspire you, but I couldn't resist doing a little something too.

We are moving house soon (just over 4 weeks to go!!) and I want to decorate my 3 year old daughter's room .... so here is one that is going on her wall.  This is a new image called Plum Fairy and you can find it here.  There are some more gorgeous images like this and I plan to do a set of 5 different ones and make a feature of them on the wall.  I'm going to pop them into some little white frame and sit some sparkly butterflies on the frames too.  When it is all done I will post a picture.

Don't forget to head on over to the Inspiration Blog for lots of inspiration from the Design Team and I will be back next week with another project to share with you.  Next week it is my team's turn .. Team B .... hmmmmm better get my thinking cap on.

Until next time ..... stamp, colour and be happy.
