Creatalicious Challenge #246 Anything goes with optional fall

 Hello again and welcome to my blog. 

Today I am showing you my Autumn card..  The challenge is optional Fall but here in the UIK we call it Autumn.  I don't usually make Autumn or Halloween cards, but I made this one for my craft class.  the all seemed to like it as it could be for a Birthday or just to say Hello1

I used distress inks on the background, then stencilled leaves all over it.  We then stamped and die-cut more leaves, colouring them the same way.  We made a wee pumpkin and stamped a border across the bottom of the card.

I hope you have a card you can enter into the challen'ge.  If you do, why don't you enter it now?

I must go now and finish some of the projects I made on my retreat.  Once I'm finished, I will put some pics on here.

Take care and see you soon! x

Crafty Catz Challenge for 21st October is sponsored by the wonderful 

Hetty Clare Art

Getting ready for christmas

The theme this week is to use ribbon or twine.

I have used this super image

Getting ready for Christmas 

Isn't this a wonderful Christmas image?  She is happy to be able to decorate her tree.  I love decorating the tree, and it takes me ages to do as I am so fussy!! I used some green felt which I have had for ages.  I was happy to use some of it up.

Well, I must go and get some commenting done.  i love looking at other people's cards.  it is fun.

So, bye for now, take care and I'll see you soon.

Creatalicious Challenges #245

 

Hello again, and apologies, I am late once again.

This post should have been published on 15th October, and now it is 18th.  

Time is just flying past too quickly for me!!

Anyway, here I am

The  theme at Creatalicious Challenges, is Halloween using Black or Purple

I have made a few Halloween Cards this year, so here is one which I think met the brief.

This image is from a kit by The Papeterie.  I die cut the image, and fussy cut the wee sweeties.  The paper on the background is black and purple, but it doesn't really look like that.  

I think that's all from me for now, but I'll be back again real soon.

Bye for now and take care!

Crafty Catz Challenge #14th October

It's my turn to host the challenge over at Crafty catz weekly challenge blogspot.com

We are sponsored by

Prize $10 Aud gift certificate 

http://beccysplace.com/

I have picked the theme to be orange, black and purple

It's almost Halloween, so I decided to  pick Halloween  colours

The stamp I have picked is called Happy Anniversary and I think it is so much fun!!  It is not like the usual anniversary image, is it?

I coloured the image using Polychromos, and I used a die to make a frame, but the outside border went out with the card which the image is on.  This resulted in a very unusual border, but I think it is still effective.

So, it is over to you now!  Why don't you colour up an image using orange, black and purple, and enter it on the blog.  You might just win that wonderful voucher!

Bye for now, and I hope you have a good week.

I have used the image Autumn Beauty, and she is indeed beautiful

I am not too happy with my colouring.  A lot of my Promarkers are leaking, and it made me grumpy!!  I wish I had coloured the background, I think it would look better.  Never mind, it will be fine!

That's all for now, need to get more knitting done.  I'll show you what I have been working on in my next post!

Bye for now!

 Hello again, how are you?

The weather her today is sunny and warm enough however through the night, it was pouring rain.

I'm late for the Creatalicious Challenge, which should have been on yesterday.

I think I have too much on my plate at the moment, so need to have a rethink of everything I am doing.
