Let’s Bake!

Morning All! It’s my turn to share some Elisabeth Bell love over on the Digi Bells Blog today. I’m starting to make a recipe/baking book and I thought Apple Berry was the perfect image to use:

My style is bouncing all over the place at the moment I think it’s just how the mood takes me as I sit down to craft and as you can see I was in a frou frou mood when I made this one (well for me anyway!).

I liked the font on the chipboard letters but they were cork effect and didn’t match so I coloured them with a marker and doused them in glitter!!

Supplies:

• Image: Apple Berry by Elisabeth Bell 
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• Card: Red, Blue, White and Kraft Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• Dies & Punches: Hobbycraft Heart Punch, Go Kreate Frilly Frames #10 Dies, Spellbinders Plain Circle Dies and Cutlery Dies from Whiff of Joy
• Embellishments: Doodling, Doily (covered in paint), Glitter Glue, Flower Trim, Jute Mesh, Ribbon Bow, Pearls, Paper Flowers and Glitter Glue.

Hope you can play along with us and thank you  for stopping by

Whatcha Doing?

Morning All, it’s time for Tiddly Tuesday over at the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog and we have a new challenge for you. Our theme this time around is Let’s Get Krafty, which is a big hurrah from me as I love to use Kraft card on my makes.

I originally made this card for our last challenge but my little triangles under the main image looked to0 much like a square (the challenge was no squares allowed!!) so I made another card knowing I could use this one for this challenge instead.

I’ve used the image Whatcha Doing? and it was a fabulous image to practice my hair colouring on!

Supplies:

• Image: Whatcha Doing?  by Tiddly Inks 
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• DP: A very old Papermania 6x6 Pad
• Card: Kraft Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card
• Dies & Punches: X-Cut Square Punch, Go Kreate Large Circle Dies, Spellbinder Plain Square Dies and Spellbinder Plain and Scalloped Circle Dies
• Sentiment: Paula Pascual Double Saying Stamp Set
• Ink: Archival ‘Sepia’ Inkpad
• Embellishments: Doodling, Lace, Pearls, Glitter Glue and Mini Staples

Hope you can play along with us and thank you  for stopping by

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

’Thanks for stopping by
