Truly Scrumptious Challenge #72!

Hello! And welcome again to another Truly Scrumptious challenge! I can't believe we're up to challenge 72!?! This week was Bente's turn to choose a challenge and she's opted for Something Forgotten, dust off the boxes of craft stash at the back of your cupboards and see what's been left there!

We're sponsored by Whiff of Joy for this fortnights challenge and the winner will be able to choose a stamp!

Here's my card! I thought in honour of our sponsor this week, I would dig out a Whiff of Joy stamp, I've got so many lovely ones but, like everyone else I'm sure, older get buried beneath all the new, shiny ones! I'm glad I've brought this back to the surface though as it's a really handy one, although in this card I didn't want to colour the bottle green so now it looks like a bottle of ale chilling!! Whoops! I've glittered the bubbles and ice bucket plaque and added some glossy stuff to the ice cubes, not sure it shows! Thanks for looking, I hope you can join in with us!

And here's the other challenges this is for:
I {heart} 2 Stamp - this sketch -->
Whiff of Joy - Love is in the Air
Basic Grey Challenge - Something New (Memory Box border die)

Truly Scrumptious Challenge #32 & Copic Colour Challenge #64!

Hi again! It's time for another double challenge post, scroll down if you'd like to see this weeks Copic Colour Challenge.
This first card is for this fortnights Truly Scrumptious challenge, another fabulous sketch by Sharon with the optional challenge of omitting the square in the sketch and making a circle card. I thought I'd make an Easel card, not sure I should have as when I fitted the two circles together, my image was wonky - oops! Buy it also qualifies for this weeks Just Cute Bears which is to make a Multi fold card. This little cutie bear is another of the fab Pink Petticoat digi stamps (although I'm not sure they're still available). I hope you like it!

And this is my card for this weeks Copic Colour Challenge card. This weeks colour choice is G00, BV02 & BG23. I don't have BG23 so I used BG10. I thought these pretty colours looked a bit 'frosty' so I used this cute Whiff of Joy stamp. I've used this weeks Allsorts sketch for inspiration. I'm going to be cheeky and enter this into a 3rd challenge, this weeks Winter Wonderland challenge is Cute Creatures. Another card for the Christmas pile! Thanks for stopping by, I hope you can join in with us!

Whiff of Joy #42!

Hello! I hope you're all enjoying this grey Monday! I don't work Mondays so I'm loving it! I've just come back from buying my bridesmaid dresses actually! It's so exciting!
Anyway, on to my card! I've had a go at the lovely Jacqui's sketch for this weeks Whiff of Joy challenge, except I had to make the oval into a square and move the flowers around a bit, but I loved it all the same! I've used my cute new monkey stamp too! I experimented with a technique I learnt on a Copics blog, colouring an area grey and then using another colour over the top to create a darker tone, to let you see how it worked, I used the same browns for the monkey as the branch but with grey over the branch first - good idea huh?! Thanks for dropping in!

Supplies-
Stamp - 'Lou Celebrating Monkey' from Whiff of Joy
Colouring - Copics and a white gel pen
Papers - Sweet Shoppe 'Some like it hot'
Flowers - Sarah's Cards & EK Success 'Retro Flower' punch
Gems - Create & Craft
Border - Fiskars 'Threading Water' punch
Sentiment - Murray & Ethel stamp set

The added challenge this week is Altered Flowers! Use any flower you have (bought, punched etc) and change it in some way, maybe paint it, distress it, it's up to you! If you play along with the sketch and theme, you'll be eligible to win this gorgeous little stamp from Whiff of Joy!

Here's my card made with some scraps I had left from another card, this used them up so I haven't done the inside this time. This stamp is one of my favourites I think, he's so cute! I've altered my flower by inking up the edges and embossing it to give a different texture, I hope you like it!

Whiff of Joy DT challenge!

There's a special challenge for Whiff of Joy this week, the prize is a Guest Designer position! I don't have a snowball in hells chance but I thought it was a fab sketch so here's my effort! I've jumped on the bandwagon a bit and decorated the inside! I bought some 5.5 inch cards a while ago and when I got them out the packet they were so flimsy you could barely put anything on the front! So I thought by layering up the inside would make it a bit sturdier and it worked! The papers are yet another Sweet Shoppe download! Thanks for looking!

Stamp - 'Henry Celebrating mouse' from Whiff of Joy coloured with Copics and Stickles 'Frosted Lace'

Papers - by Kristin Cronin-Barrow from Sweet Shoppe

Ribbon - stash

Tilda & Friends: Shady Lady!

Here's my 3rd ATC for the Tilda & Friends Challenge! This week it's 'Shady Lady', to use mostly shades of one colour (natural tones are allowed for grass, skin etc!). I've gone for a classic monochrome colour scheme and used my 007 Charlie and turned him into a bit of a silver fox! I've also added Sakura Stardust to the border, his Martini and a twinkle in his eye!! I hope you like it! I'm off to decorate the kitchen - Jungle Green, hmmm, I hope it turns out ok!
