Crafty Sentiments - Leaves

This week's challenge at Crafty Sentiments is Leaves and I used this gorgeous image called Eating Strawberries, isn't she a cutie?  She's coloured with copics and I created the background using a leaf stamp  and then popped the image on a black panel.

Crafty Sentiments - Sparkle

This week's challenge over at Crafty Sentiments is Sparkle.  I interpreted this as using a decent amount of stickles!


The image (cute isn't she!) is coloured with copics and the cut out using my oval nestie and the out of the box technique.  I cut the edge of the card using my nesties labels 8 and then popped the paper behind it. After that I liberally squeezed stickles here there and everywhere!

Crafty Sentiments - New release

There's an exciting new release over at Crafty Sentiments today and I created a cute little boys card using my new dienamics!

Crafty Sentiments - Numbers

Numbers are our theme over at Crafty Sentiments this week.  I kind of did a double whammy and popped the sentiment in using a number and I created the background by stamping circles of numbers (look closely, they're tiny!)  I did that by creating a circle mask and then stamping over it, I eye balled the placement and it's actually turned out ok!  The only regret is that I didn't use a darker brown.

I used Annabelle - Party Girl and coloured her with my fav pink colour combo of the moment.  I used a die cut for my number 2 (in fact all the stamps are from the MFT By the Number Set)  I cut her out with my nesties (labels eleven)

Crafty Sentiments - Colour inspiration

This week's Crafty Sentiments challenge was yet another challenge for me - Orange and Blue - where to start?  Well, I started from the image, maybe I should take a leaf out of others' books and start from the paper, but I just don't plan that far ahead.  Tragic but true!

Must say, despite it not being my usual style I really enjoyed doing this one.  Love this image, it's Scilla Fairy, isn't she so pretty!  I coloured her with copics and added a Paula Pascual sentiment.  I used my ek success flower punch and a brad to create my flower and a flourish stamp to create the, errrr, well, flourishes around the image!

Crafty Sentiments - Bright colours

Crafty Sentiments Challenge this week is bright colours, the brighter the better!!

I used one of the new Manga images, Tess Summer Fun - love how she's framed with all those gorgeous flowers.

My papers are from a freebie digi pack from Summer Driggs, it's the Owl Always love Spring pack, so cute! I printed it out for the card but I also used a smaller version to paper piece her dress.  The flowers are coloured with copics (as is her skin and hair) and I added a black card, nesties lacy circles to the back of it and a fishtail banner for the sentiment (I cut it out myself, I've not bought a die for that yet!)

Crafty Sentiments - A Sketch

This week's Crafty Sentiments challenge is definitely not my fav, it's a sketch and this is a tad out of my comfort zone as it has quite a few layers on it. But they always say a change is as good as a rest! I hope you like it!

I used one of the April releases, Welcome Little One, isn't she gorgeous! I coloured her with my new aqua copics. 

Here's the sketch:

Crafty Sentiments - Mum

Crafty Sentiments challenge this week is devoted that most special person - Mum! This card however, is devoted to a different Mum, my MIL. She loves poppies so this will be winging her way soon.  I used one of the images that attracted me to Crafty Sentiments, unfortunately it's one of those images that is no longer available (won't stop me using it as it is definitely one of my go to images!!)


I coloured with copics (yeah, yeah will I ever change?) popped the dp on added a black cs die-namics scallop border and I used my die-namics By the letters dies to create the 'mum'.

Crafty Sentiments - Spots and stripes

I'm hosting over at Crafty Sentiments Challenge this week and it's spots and stripes, any colour or theme as long as there are those all important spots and stripes hiding in there!


I used one of the gorgeous Billy images, Birthday Presents. Isn't he a cutie and I'd love to know where those balloons are going to take him! I coloured him with my copics (note the pressie is spotty because I used the blender pen on it and there are spots around the image to try and highlight the fact that he's in the sky.) My papers are from a freebie pack that I got with a magazine and note that there are stripes and spots in the corners! I added a computer generated sentiment, inked around the edges and voila!

Crafty Sentiments - For a Child

How are you at creating children's cards? I'm definitely getting better as I seem to be having quite a bit of practice, that's what 3 kids with a hectic social life do for your cardmaking! Anyway I managed to mix this week's Crafty Sentiments challenge into a party card, the girls needed another card for yet another party.


This was one of those quickie cards, I created this card bylaying out my own sentiment and images online.  I separated  Tobey Heart Balloon - digi  (well I had 2 images and I cropped the right bits!) and then joined them back together by drawing more string then I printed and coloured with my copics, cut it to size and popped on a green card base (it's pearlescent but you can't see that in the pic!)

• Stamps - Tobey Heart Balloon
• Copics - E50,51,54,57   G63,67  R24,27,29  Y21,23 YR23
• Pearlescent geen card

**ETA - only just realised this hasn't worked! Typical! Scheduling normally works!**

Crafty Sentiments - Use a digi

This weeks challenge over at Crafty Sentiments is to use a digi, so I have! But I kind of decided I wanted to add more to MoMo, I decided I wanted to make it a birthday card and added some of the Patches elements, unfortunately I have only just realised that Patches isn't a digi (i just happen to have him in digi form!) but you could easily use any balloons or pressies!
