I ♥ Promarkers - Buttons & Lace

This is a very quick post before I head off to bed, but wanted to have a go at the I ♥ Promarkers challenge, which is to use buttons & lace.
Have had this Joanna Sheen stamp for a while now and this is the first time it has been inked up, was really unsure how to colour this one and think the apples are a little red, but only have the one red in promarkers and then after colouring it had no clue what papers to put with it, so went with some freebie paper I found called picnic in the park, the buttons are from the same paper stack and tied the lace into a bow.

Thank you for popping by and don't forget to leave a comment so I know you have visited :)

Less is More - Purple

Trying to get back into the swing of blogging and card making has taken me a while and really enjoyed making this card for the Less is More challenge, which this week is Predominantly Purple
The word stamp is from Clarity and cut out using a die frame. Flowers are from Marianne and the leaves are new ones from crealies. Love the cleaness and simplicity of this card.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend and thank you for stopping by :)

New Beginnings

Thought I would have a go at the Sweet Stampin challenge this week, which is New Beginnings. Made this card for a work colleague who had a baby girl on 28th December, she was nearly 4 weeks early so had to make this one quick hehe.
Used a fizzy moon stamp and got my Prisma's out for the first time. Used spellbinders dies and layered up some pretty pink papers and thats about it for this one.

Thanks for looking and don't forget to leave a comment so I know you have popped by :)

I ♥ Promarkers - Anything goes

Well it seems like forever since I last made a post. Hope everyone had a fab Christmas and New Year. We took the tree down today, the house is now back to normal and it's back to work tomorrow - Boo.

Thought I would join in with the I ♥ Promarkers challenge, think it's been running for 2 weeks and actually closes tomorrow - oh well better late than never hehe
Used one of the gorgeous stamps from LOTV - still have a few of these that I haven't inked up yet......tsk tsk.......and coloured him with promarkers. Paper I have had for years and added a few punched snowflakes and a couple of flowers.

Hopefully now all the festivities are out of the way I can get back to some proper blogging and join in a few more challenges. Happy crafting :) xx

Less is More - Music

Another very quick post today to enter this card into the Less is More challenge, which this week is music. As Christmas gets closer I am finding less and less time to blog, so for my lack of commenting I apologies, everything should be back to normal as soon as Christmas is out of the way.
Anyway this card is all Barbara Gray and it's all direct onto the card, no layers here hehe. The Joy is embossed with silver sparkle powder, didn't use a brayer mind just sponged the blue using a big and juicy. Have done a couple in gold as well but think I prefer the silver as it's more sparkly :)

Hope everyone is ready for Christmas and just incase I don't get chance again have a fantastic Christmas and New Year :) xx

Less is More - Let it Snow

Really quick post tonight, wanted to get this in for the Less is More challenge which this week is a one layer Let it Snow
Took inspiration from Chrissie for this weeks card as I had brought myself some white embossing powder and really wanted to try this technique of embossing and then inking over the top. Not sure I like the green, but will be making some more in the blue to give out :)

Not sure I will make it round everyone this week as I am so late getting on the blog, but there are some fantastic creations over there :)

Less is More - Colour Green

Bit late with this again this week for the Less is More challenge which this week is to make a card using the colour green. Well struggled again with this, spent the weekend watching Barbara Gray on Create and Craft and had a play with her stamps from lesson one using a big and juicy.
Have enjoyed making prety patterns with this corner stamp and will have another play.

Did have a bit of a play with the brayer and a christmas tree stamp but not sure how to make these into a card that I liked.

Hope everyone has had a fab weekend, really need to make a serious start on making Christmas cards, at this rate I am going to be buying some!! hehe
