Digital Tuesday Challenge #114

Spesch Designer Stamps are sponsoring the Digital Tuesday Challenge again this week. The challenge is 'In the Garden'. So I used my Kei with Flower stamp by Widya - layered her up a bit. I used a sketch - (I think) - from Sketch Saturday from a few weeks ago.

Unfortunately the card is not making me feel warm. Brrrrrr....!!!! Very cold day here in Australia and especially here in Melbourne as we have had another cold snap. I hate picking the kids up or dropping them off when it is freezing cold but has to be done. Hoping to be out and in quick smart today. No hanging around in the cold.

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

7 Kids Challenge

Hey sweethearts. Hope we are all well. I am fabulous. Went to my Intermediate Copic Certification yesterday and was it so worth it. Firstly we had the best teacher - Mandy Klinger - is certainly a great resource for Express Graphics and they chose well. I must admit that I have to get my head around a lot of techniques in the certification that threw all the other techniques we learnt at the first certification out the window - not completely though - as some of the principles apply just they are changed up a bit. Was very much worth doing the class.

This card I made for the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge I used my old colouring techniques and boy does it look a little different now but as always lots of practice is needed. It really is hard to describe so I won't even try. Sorry ladies who wanted to know all about it.

I made it nice and simple. I am not one for the shabby chic - pretty cards - I really don't do them too well I am afraid. Anyway. Enjoy your day.

PS. If you want to see the new Breaking Dawn Trailer scroll down to the bottom of my blog or see the previous post.

OMG I am so excited

Gorjuss girlz rule

Another card made just because. I bought this stamp from Funky Kits - made by Santoro. You know when you get a stamp and you just have to use it. You try your hardest to get it to look good but you just don't quite get there. I love how this card turned out. Love the colours I used but there is just something missing. Maybe someone can tell me - not that I can change much as everything is stuck down. Need swirls or a sentiment. What do you think...???

This is a scheduled post as I will be at my Certification right now. Enjoy the last day of your weekend.

Magnolia kind of day

Hello again. Hope we are enjoying the start of our weekend. Mine is looking to be a good one. Sun is shining and might even be able to get out there in the garden.

I have a card I made with the sketch from Magnolia Down Under Challenges. I had to use another one of my new stamps from the new range. I just love her hair too cute. Now again I must admit I am not too sure about this card. Think I used the wrong DP but I am not redoing it. I think I am definately more of a bright card kind of girl but Tilda still looks cute.

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

Congratulations...just coz....

I got this stamp a few weeks ago from Bizzy Becs and have been wracking my brain thinking of a use for it (but had to have it when I saw the stamp lol). I tried stamping out a normal Tilda stamp and trying to fit her in to the car but it was too big. What now I thought....!!!!! Hmmmm so I had a brain wave. I thought I would stamp on kraft card and colour in with my Prismacolor pencils. I loved coloring this in. I made it in to a Congratulations card for someone who just got their license or you could give to someone who bought their first car etc etc. I was going to put Happy Travels on it but don't have any sentiment stamps that say that and I wanted the text on the white ribbon so just stuck with this.

So sorry

Why am I sorry....??? Well because I am not happy with this card at all and did not do this gorgeous stamp by Sylvia at Wee Stamps justice what so ever. When I coloured this image for this sketch - from The Sweet Stop - I had a different picture of how it would turn out. I don't know why I don't like it. Maybe it is the size of the Silver Fairy or maybe it is the colours. I can't figure it out. But to suffice to say I am not happy and thus I haven't completely finished the card. So a big sorry to Sylvia for not doing a very good job with this.

A close up. I printed this out a couple times and layered up some of the bits like the hair wings, dress and shin covers. I truly am not happy with this at all. I suppose we are our own biggest critics.

All I can say is "TGIF"....!!!!! I have my Copic Intermediate Certification on Sunday. Looking forward to that.

bye. Enjoy your weekend.

Magnolia Tag

Morning all. How are we....?????

Today I have a tag I made with the new challenge over at Mad for Markers. The gorgeous Melissa created an awesome sketch for us all to follow. So if you are no good at tags this is easy as it is a sketch so make it like a normal card.

I made my card with a Magnolia Mini World Stamp so that I could make it nice and small. Enjoy your day.

In the Garden

Spesch Designer Stamps is proudly sponsoring the 'By the Cute and Girly' Monthly challenge for the month of June. The challenge this month is 'In the Garden'. So I thought I would bring out the gorgeous Spring Flower by Star to use for the challenge. I printed her out twice and layered up her hair, a couple of the flowers and the leaf to give a bit of dimension. Seeing there aren't any sentiments or words on the front I decorated the middle of the card too.

I used the Prima Madeline DP - gosh I love the bright colours in there. The saying in the middle of the card is part of the 6x6 paper pad. Hope you like.
