Daisy Daisy…

Give me your answer do….!!  Haha I think this cold medicine is getting to me.

Anyhoo, afternoon everyone it’s time for a new challenge at Elisabeth Bell’s World Challenge and our theme this time around is a nice and easy Happy Birthday.

I use so many digi stamps now that I forget that my love of Elisabeth Bell artwork started many many moons ago with this adorable stamp Daisy that I bought from Sugar Nellie, unfortunately she is no longer available but she sure is a cutie.

Here is my card:

I’m loving the no-lines colouring technique at the moment but I’m not too happy with her eye and I coloured a bit I shouldn’t so she now has a massive neck!! I really should get in the habit of having a black lines version next to me as I colour…it would make things a little bit easier.

Supplies:

• Image: Daisy from Elisabeth Bell  (from Sugar Nellie/Funky Kits but now retired)
• Colouring Medium: Copics

• Card: Kraft and blue card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• Dies & Punches: Hobbycraft Heart Punch and Clearly Besotted ‘Happy’ and ‘Birthday’ word dies.
• Embellishments: Doodling, Gems and Glitter Glue

To play along just head over to Elisabeth Bell’s World Challenge Blog for the full details and also see the creations from my fabulous team mates!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

• Chocolate Coffee and Cards – Any kind of Celebration
• Southern Girls – Whimsical, Cute or Fun
• The Paper Shelter – Birthday card with a sentiment
• Lil patch of Crafty Friends – Anything Goes

Just a quick one..

I have made another card this evening for the sketch challenge over at LIM. I’m trying to build up a box of cards for hubby to sell at work and my LIM entries are perfect for this as they are quite quick (and inexpensive) to make. He used to sell them for me a few years back, but since I had Little One it came to a halt. How time flies? Little One is going to be two in a couple of weeks and he’s turning into a proper little boy. Although he does like to help Mummy ‘Press Press’ which is his name for stamping lol.

It’s another One Layer card and uses the same set by Stampin Up. This time I stamped one of the petals through a post it note mask in pink, yellow and orange and edged the panel with a gold fineliner. I then stamped the line petal stamp in navy to form the flower and stamped and embossed the flower centre in gold to make it stand out a little. The sentiment has also been stamped in Navy. I’m not sure what made me pick such bright colours, but I quite like the end result.

Night night

Less is More – Sketch (Try 2)

Me again. Still very cold and cold hands make stamping a bit tricky as everything wobbles. Over at LIM this is the sketch:

And here’s one of the ideas I had earlier but now it’s finished it’s not quite how I saw it in my head but I quite like it.

It’s another One Layer card (go me!!!). I’ve used a Stampin Up set of Petals and Flower centres that I picked up second hand on Ebay last year. I started by masking and inking the panel and with the mask still in place stamping the line petals. I then removed the mask and stamped the dotted petals in a nice vibrant Fuchsia (kind of of hoping the warm colours would warm me up). I’ve drawn a thin silver border down the sides of the panel, which gives a faux layered effect. The sentiment is from Personal Impressions and lastly a chunky bit of bling.

Thanks for popping by.
