Spooktacular Pumkin

This weeks challenge from There's Magic in the Air is to use the image provided "Spooktacular Pumpkin" and then use some 3D coloring elements like liquid applique, flowersoft, glitter and/or stickles, Crackle, liquid glaze, fun flock...etc.

I chose to use white glittered flock but try as I might I could not get it to show up on the photo, but it is there honest! I also added a few extra punpkins to give a bit more depth. I would have preferred an orange ribbon but it seems orange is the only colour of ribbon I don't possess!

PfP Week 21 & Crafty Catz #3

This weeks challenge from Passion for Promarkers is any colours plus sketch and Crafty Catz is Snowmen and Snowflakes.

I've used snowflake paper from Dove Craft and a Personnal Impressions stamp for the snowmen, which I've decoupaged a little to give some height. The greeting stamp was a freebie from a magazine and the snowflakes and brads are from my stash.

Brown Owls

I'm entering this card into two challenges, Sketch Saturday #72 and Stamp Something which was to use brown and one other colour. I opted for brown and pink so I could use some of my delicious new 'Chocolat' papers from SEI. The cute owl stamp is from Rachelle Anne Miller.

I'm a Winner!

I'm so excited to have won the Saturday Sketch Challenge #71 for my scrapbook page of Emily my cat. My prize is these 3 wonderful Motivet Stamps from Krea 'Teja'.

They are very different to anything I already have so I'm really looking forward to getting my inky mits on them!

Thanks again to everyone at Saturday Sketch and Krea 'Teja'.

Passion For Promarkers Challenge #20

Up until a couple of months ago I wasn't really into stamping as I was never totally happy with the finished coloured image, I'd tried allsorts of mediums - water colours, H2Os, waterbased pens with a water brush, pencils - then on a whim I bought a set of 10 promarkers from my local craft shop and I've never looked back! I could kick myself though, for over 15 years I worked in advertising and all the designers used PMs but it never occured to me to use them on my cards. Just thinking how much money I could have saved if I hadn't bought all the stuff above is sickening, I could have an almost full set of PMs by now instead of a very sad 15!

So since I discovered the PFP blog I keep an eye on the challenges and enter the ones I have the correct colours for. This week challenge #20 is any colours plus recipe (3 shapes, 2 papers and 1 ribbon) and the above is my entry. The Swiss Pixies 'Heidi' stamp is a favourite of mine at the moment and the papers are from Papermania, the ribbon is from my local haberdashery store. The circles and ovals are all cut with Nestabilities.

Magical Monday - Colour Challenge

This is a card for a new challenge blog I've just found 'There's magic In The Air'. This weeks challenge was to use the free digital image supplied plus use only black, orange and one other colour of your choice.

I've coloured the image with PMs and the patterned papers are Papermania. The sentiment is hand written.

Sketch Saturday #71

This is my entry for Sketch Saturdays Challenge #71. This week as well as a sketch there was the added challenge of 'Pets'. I decided to do a scrapbook page of one of my cats, Emily, instead of a card so I hope thats not against the rules. The papers I've used are all from SEI - Morning Meadow and the card is papermania.

I apologise for the photo, I really need to figure out a way to make my pages look square when I photo them.
