The Sugar Bowl 135

Over on the Sugar Nellie Blog they are showcasing Leanne Ellis Stamps this week. So I decided to dig out one for my card for the Challenge over at The Sugar Bowl. So I used Mermaid, don't you just love her. She is coloured with Copics, and very glittery using Wink of Stella (not that it shows in the picture). The papers are digi from here. I have used several dies - First Edition Crab, La La Land Seaweed, and Marianne Design shell. The sentiment is Lili of the Valley. I also want to enter her into the ABC Challenge - E for everything (anything goes). Oops, nearly forgot - I used the sketch (which I rotated) from Sketch Saturday so am entering her over there too.

I'm into making tags at the moment, don't know why - I never use them. But I enjoy making them. For this tag I used an image from Illustrations by T, I totally love this one. Coloured her with Copics (for a change). The deckled oval is a Spellbinders die. The papers are from Sweet Shoppe Designs. The tag is a die from Whiff of joy which I ordered at a super price when they were closing. So glad I did, I have used it quite a few times. And a few flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. I am going to enter this into the Challenge into the Cute Card Thursday where the theme is Florals.

The challenge over at Cute Card Thursday is warm colours. Not sure what colours that would be, but we'll give it a go with these ones. I got this image from Illustrations by T and just had to use her straight away. I also had to get some Pirate papers, so on the hunt I went to my usual place Sweet shoppe Designs and came across these cool papers. The Skull is a Sizzix die by Tim Holtz. It comes with a bat too. I think I got it for the bat, but the Skull is certainly the one I use most. And a few black rhinestone things to finish. I did order some Skull and Crossbones ribbon, but got a bit impatient, so stuck it all down. Yep, said ribbon arrived today. Oh well, I'll just have to make another card.

Slinky Sketch Saturday

For my card I have followed the sketch over at Sketch Saturday, I so needed a sketch to work from. My mojo has been away on holiday for a wee while now. I'm hoping this is it coming back now. The image is from Slinky Tart, I do love these images just now. I have to admit colouring unusual colours for hair is so hard for me. But my Cousin is always dying her hair red, so I thought just go for it. Guitars make me think of her, I made her Wedding invites and used those Guitar die cuts, The Guitar die is a very old one from Ellison. No design paper, just coloured card, but I think it works here. I also want to enter it into the Cute Card Thursday Challenge where they have an anything goes theme.

Cute Card Thursday #367

I have wanted to make one of these box card thingies for ages. I even downloaded the instructions, but can't find them now. But when I came across a magazine with it in I just had to give it a go. And it was actually quite simple. But it soo didn't turn out like it was in my head. But I'm likin it anyway. The papers are from one of these fill your box type of places. The image and sentiment is from Slinky Tart. I am entering her into the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday where the theme is buttons and bows.
