Bottoms Up!

It's a little drinkie challenge over at Sweet Stampin' this week!  We'd like to see your stamped designs featuring something related to drinks, hot or cold, alcoholic or non-alcoholic!

I used a From the Heart digi to make my DT card

I've coloured the image with Copics, adding some Sakura gold pen to the foil on the bottle.  I had been cutting out some white stamping card and realised that the negative cardstock would make a great frame with a little bit of trimming.  I used a Simon Says Stamp die to cut out the word "enjoy" from both the frame and some red card to create an inlaid sentiment.

It would be great if you could play along this week.  We're giving away a Sweet Stampin' goodie bag to our randomly chosen winner.  Not sure what to make?  Head on over to the Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog to see the fabulous inspiration projects the Sweeties have made.

I can't remember the last time I entered a challenge, so I'm going to put this card into the Harvest Home (Fruit/Veg) challenge at Without Words.  It's no secret that I like my grapes in liquid form!  I'm also entering Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge which is all about Food and Drink.

Have a lovely weekend!

For someone who doesn't do Halloween...

I've made another Halloween card!  I can't resist colouring this Tiddly Inks image at this time of year; she's called Alison and she's a dream to colour.

I haven't entered a challenge for AGES so I thought I'd enter the following:

Without Words - Boo
Tiddly Inks - Non-traditional Halloween Colours

Now I really need to get going with my Christmas cards!

Fun in the Sun

Well, it's already our second week back at school and I'm trying to work out where the summer holidays went!  Only seven weeks to go and it will be the October break and shortly after that the Boy Wonder will turn fourteen... I'm sure time speeds up as you get older.

I've got a whole collection of half-finished cards waiting for some attention but I did manage to get this one done - probably because I've kept it fairly "clean".

I masked Tilda with the ice cream stand stamp and coloured the image with Copics. I put Crackle Glaze on Tilda's bucket and Glossy Accents on the shelf of ice cream stand to make it look like glass.

The papers are both by Echo Park and I joined them with some contrasting stripy ribbon.  With so much colour I decided not to clutter things up with embellies and I'm quite pleased with the way this turned out.  I'm also happy that I've managed to add another flat card for posting to my collection!

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:

Without Words - Beach Holiday/At the Seaside
Totally Tilda -  At the Seaside/BBQ

Have a great week!
