Digistamp Freebie from Just Some Lines

Hi!

I made a couple of simple cards with a really cute flowers digi from Just Some Lines

I added some liquid pearls and glitter, and a bit of ribbon.

I'm entering these in the Heart Song Inspirations 'Use Ribbon And/Or a Tag' challenge, and the Simon Says Stamp 'Anything Goes' challenge.

Autumnal Colours

Hi! There seem to be lots of lovely Autumn colours around at the moment, and a fair few Autumn challenges! I've had a go at some Autumn cards, using Sweet Pea stamps.

Here's one I made for the Sweet Pea Stampers 'Fall Colors' challenge:
Note: 'Fall Colors' is American for 'Autumnal Colours'  ;-)

I coloured with promarkers, and used stickles on her wings. The punched flowers have gold liquid pearls for centres. The backing paper is from the DCWV Once Upon A Time stack.


Here's a card I made with another Sweet Pea stamp. I'm entering this in the Scrapbook Sisters 'Autumn Colours' challenge:

I'm not sure the midnight blue background really works with the Autumn colours, but I wasn't sure how else to portray a night sky! Maybe I should've tried to make it a sunset!


I tried again with this stamp, and used a lighter sky colour. I'm entering this in the 4 Crafty Chicks 'Fall / Autumn' challenge:

Beautiful New Heart Stamp!

Hiya!

The other day I saw a beautiful card at  Andie's Space, and completely fell in love with the stamp. So much for saving up for the NEC Hobbycraft Fair... I found the stamp online and bought it. It is really gorgeous, and will be perfect for wedding cards, anniversaries and valentines day! Ok, I'm trying to justify it, but it is lovely.

I've had a go at colouring and embellishing it, and keeping the rest of the card simple and plain, as it's a very ornate stamp. It has a red border, and I've left it without a sentiment, so it can be used for anything.

I'm entering this in:
Truly Scrumptious 'Clean & Simple'
The Paper Shelter 'Anything Goes'
Heart Song Inspirations 'Use the color orange and/or Buttons'
Allsorts 'Keep it Simple'

Here are a couple more I made, as anniversary cards, in blues & purples:

The Dark Side

Hi! I made this card for the Cupcake Craft Challenge 'The Darkside', partly because I really LOVE purple & black together, and partly because it makes me think of the Tim Minchin song 'Dark Side', which makes me laugh!

I love the Lavinia stamps, but I haven't quite got the hang of the way Tracey Dutton uses Liquid Pearls with glitter. It looks stunning on her creations, but I only seem to get a blobby mess! But at least the liquid pearls lighten the card a bit, as there is a lot of purple and black going on!

I'm also entering this card in the Flutterby Wednesday challenge

Unicorns, I Love Them

Hi! I made this unicorn card yesterday. I still need to work on using the brayer properly, but I love these backgrounds, despite the inky mess I end up with, all over me and the craft table! I used Lavinia stamps and Stampin' Up inks.

I'm entering this in the following challenges:
Papertake - 'Creature Comforts'
Crafty Sentiments - 'Happy Birthday'
Anything Goes - 'Anything Goes'
Stamptacular - 'Just Sayin’!'

More Fairies!

Hiya!

I'm so pleased that I made a few cards in the last couple of days, I'm over-blogging today, to try to make up for not posting for ages...

Here's a fairy card - I love fairies!

I'm entering this one in a couple of challenges:

Lexi's Creations - 'A Card for a Child'

Top Tip Tuesday - 'One for the Kids'

And here's another fairy card, using one of my favourite images from Sweet Pea Stamps:

I love blues and soft browns together, and am entering this card in the Sweet Pea Stampers 'Favourite Colours' challenge.

On the subject of fairies, I saw a link on  Coldwaters2's blog for some lovely fairy / pixie stamps here:

I might need to start making up a Christmas Wish List.

Inkadinkado Stamps Again

Hi again! Here's another card I made with one of the Inkadinkado stamps. I masked the frame around it before brayering this time, to make a single layer card. I used Lavinia stamps for the flowers around the edge.

I'm entering it in The Secret Crafter 'ONE LAYER CARD' challenge, The Crafty Pad Designs 'DIAMONDS ARE A GIRLS BEST FRIEND' challenge, and the  Less is More 'Anything CAS Goes' challenge. I'm hoping the big white border will make it CAS enough for LIM :)

More Brayering

Hi! I made this card with my new Inkadinkado stamp set, and my Lavinia cherry blossom stamp. I used stickles on the flowers to add a bit of sparkle.

I'm entering this card in By The Cute & Girly Challenges 'ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL' challenge.
