Wildflower Fairy

Hi all hope you are well.

I have had a big push lately with the blanket

squares i've done another 80 odd or so.

I have got so many other things i want to start 

but i've told myself i'm not allowed 

to start them till what i've got on the 

go at the moment are finished.

Otherwise i'd have bags of projects that just won't get 

finished.

Anyway enough wool and onto a card.

It's time for another Papertake Weekly

and this weeks challenge is a

Dawny Sketch.

I love sketches half the battle for me is 

layout and following a sketch is just 

brill, not much thinking is needed.

I have used a gorgeous digi image

called Wildflower Fairy from

Saturated Canary Digi's off Etsy. 

I thinks she's the artist behind the Sassy stamps,

she has a lot of wonderful images you can buy.

I have used a mixture of copics pro an flex markers

to colour her in.

Sentiment stamps is from a flower fairies stamp set.

Papers are from Pink Petticoat vintage rose

collection.

Ribbon and lace are from my stash.

Please go and check out the other
dt's work over at Papertake weekly.

One last thing 
Oooooooooo!
look at last my 
Hyacinthe bulbs are out.

They smell as good as they look.


Thanks for looking today.

Spring is in the Air

Hi all on this dull and miserable wet

Tuesday hope your are well.

Aren't you just fed up of this weather, they were

even talking about lack of vitamin D this morning on 

the BBC, i think we are all suffering.

Well it's Papertake time again and this week

the theme is 

Happy Highlights

We want you to highlight part of the image 

or paper with something like 

Glossy Accents, Glitter or decoupage.

This week we are sponsored by

Bugaboo
Who have 7 digi stamps up for grabs. 

I have used one of the images available from

Bugaboo. This one is from the scene it range

called Ladybugs.

I have used my Promarkers and Flexmarkers

to colour it in.

I used Glossy Accents on the Ladybugs.

Papers are from K and Co best of paper pad.

Sentiment i found online as a freebie digi

image.

Flowers are Prima and i have used 

Martha Stewart punches for the leaves and

the background.

Ribbon from the Ribbon Girl.

Pin from stash.

Please go and check out the other girls DT work
they are all just fab.

I took a picture of the roses i bought

whilst food shopping last week

Aren't they just gorgeous and cheap to.

I bought them from Aldi £3 for 11 roses.

They had them in all sorts of fab colours.

I got pink as it's my favourite colour.

I'm also on with making a Granny Square
Spring blanket and with the amount of squares
i've got to do it will probably be spring before
i finish making them.

I've got 400+ to make, i've forgotten the total off the 
top of my head but i have it written down
in colour combo's so i don't loose my way
and have to recount.

 Fortunately they are not to big so you can make a square 
quite quickly and i'm finishing them off on the back 
as i go so i don't have to do it all at the end.
I can imagine that would take days in itself.


I'm aiming to try and get it finished before our 
first VW show in the spring.
I also fancy making some bunting to go 
round the van as well.
I think i'm going to be a busy bee........Buzz.

Spooky Hues

Hi all hope you are well. We are getting in the 

spooky mood this week at Papertake weekly

Our challenge this time is to make a card

using Spooky colours.

That doesn't mean it has to be a spooky card 

just use traditional spooky

colours.

The fab prize up for grabs this week is

a spooky coloured mini kit from the Ribbon Girl.

Wow lovin all these gorgeous 

ribbons what great colours to.

I have used Hazel digi image from 

wee stamps, isn't she just the 

sweetest. 

Out came my Polychromos pencils

and Sansodor, these colours went 

perfectly with these BooVille papers

from Raspberry Road.

I bought a 12x12 piece of purple

core'dinations card and die cut

the Tim Holtz Weathered Clock and Flourish.

I also made a rosette using my Scor-pal at

1cm intervals, i saw somebody make them on C&C

and had to have a go.

I then sanded it all to give it a distressed look.

The trick or treat sentiment i found 

scouting the Internet for freebie's.

The spiders webs are printed onto acetate, i

think they came off a Joanna Sheen CD ROM,

I printed them years ago and found them recently

while searching for something else, 

but i just can't remember

which CD it was off hand.

Leaves are made using a Martha Stewart punch.

The flowers, gems and pin are from my stash.

I am also going to enter my card 
into the following challenges.


Charisma Cardz - In Stitches
Simon Says Stamp - Halloween
Addicted to stamps - Halloween
CES - Forever Autumn.

Birthday Boy

Hi all hope you are all well,

We are all at sixes and sevens here

at the moment.

We are fitting new windows so everything

is a mess.

Fortunately my crafty corner is in the 

conservatory which is fine, so 

i can escape there for a bit.

It's Papertake weekly time again

and this week we have one of 

Dawny's fabulous sketches to follow

which is sponsored this week by 

Simon says stamp

So go and check it out 

It's my Nephews birthday coming up soon

so i decided to combine the two, 

i made him a card using the sketch.

 

I've used one of the fab images 

from Teddy Bo and co.

Isn't he Jolly.

I have coloured him in with promarkers.

I have noticed lately a lot of Kraft card

appearing on cards, and i have 

finally got some although it came

in the form of card blanks.  I bought

some in 6x6 so i could cut some of it up.

This time i have used it as a blank, doing that 

though meant i had to decorate the inside

which i never do, so this was new to me.

 

As you can see i kept it simple, i noticed 

on other blogs when they decorate the inside 

they put a faint image of the main image in the 

bottom corner, with this being digital

i just printed it off in draft and a bit smaller

which worked a treat.

The papers are from K&Co berry sweet set.

I tinted the green card i had with peeled paint

distress in as my card stock didn't pop out enough

against the papers.

I made the grass by using an icicle die from

Marianne Creatables that i just bought for my

Christmas cards, when i get round to making them.

I turned it upside down and used peeled paint 

distress ink to highlight

or is it lowlight as it's darker.lol.

The sentiment stamps are from LOTV.

I also used my Clarity Feather stamp to

go round the edges with peeled paint ink, to give

it a jungle feel.

Shusssh!

Just to let you know

Next week is very special for 

Papertake it's our Birthday 

4 years i believe so 

we are going to have a very special challenge,

and lots of chances to win some goodies.

So don't forget to look in and check it out.

Thanks for stopping by today
