Bingo!

There's a Bingo Board challenge over at Sweet Stampin' starting today.  Here's my DT card and the board






I went with the top line so my card has purple, pearls and flowers on it.  The image, which I coloured with Copics, is one from a new-ish release from Stampin' Bella. I love this stamp as she's such a great size to colour.  My papers are from Maja Design (so pretty) the flowers are WOC and the pearls were in my stash.

I hope you can play along with us this week.  The Sweeties have made the most lovely inspiration cards so do pop on over here to take a look.  We're being sponsored by Bunny Zoe for this challenge so there will be a crafty stash voucher waiting for one lucky winner.

Have a fabulous weekend - let's hope the sun shines!

Christmas Stockings

We're starting a new challenge at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' today and our theme is Christmas Stockings.  I'm afraid to say that the heating is still on here at Trayner Towers as although it's dry (at last) it's still very breezy and cool enough to need your toes in Christmas Stockings in the evenings!  We had a tree down in the storms last week - split right down the middle but fortunately didn't hit anything.  Not what you expect in June, even in Scotland!

So, on to my DT make.  I teamed up matching hAnglars and kept the embellies to a minimum as the image is quite big.




I coloured the image with my Copics and used some much used, much loved Magnolia paper in my favourite colour for Christmas.  The snowflake dot is from a set that I've had for so long I've lost the label, so I don't know the make.  It tones really nicely with the paper though!

Do hop over here to see what the other CaSSettes have made to inspire you.  We're being sponsored by Flat Friends who are giving away 2 digis to our winner, so do check out their Etsy store as the images are great!

Hope you can join in the fun at CaSS this month!

Something (relatively) old, something new

There's a new challenge starting today at Sweet Stampin' and the theme is Something Old, Something New.

Apart from my mountain of Tildas, most of my older stash has been going on eBay lately so that I can indulge my obsession with  passion for acquiring some of the newly released stamps and dies.  So this Clearly Besotted stamp set isn't that old, but it's from last year and that's pretty old as far as my current stamp collection goes!  I stamped the image and sentiment with Hero Arts Unicorn White ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.




The new element is the sequins.  A recent addition to the embellies box, I decided that there's no such thing as a "one colour suits everything" approach with sequins.  There might be a "few" packets in the embellies box now...

Hope you can join in the fun at Sweet Stampin' this week.  We're being sponsored by the Ribbon Girl so there's a lovely prize up for grabs!

Enjoy your weekend!
