****Thinking of you at Fab'n'Funky****

 Hello folks,

We have our first challenge for 2021 starting today at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #507

Hosted by our lovely, talented team mate Chris who would like you to create something to say 

"Thinking of You"

I have coloured with Copics and Faber Polychromos Pencils a new stamp for me from MFT
called Magnolia Blossoms. I waited for a sale and am so happy with my purchase.   The sentiment is an old stamp from the Inkadinkado set Nature & Floral.  I've stamped the image and sentiment with Memento London Fog. It gives a softer look than using black I think. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

A Place to Start Challenge #1 - January

CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #403  Jan.25

Crafters Castle Challenge #37

Unicorn Challenge #61

Thanks so much for visiting today.  I hope you can play along with us.

Hugs,

Pat K

for Groundhog Day. The furry forecaster did not see his shadow on Monday morning 

which according to folklore means it will be an early Spring....

Fingers crossed as we dig out from all the white stuff that dumped this week.

Today starts a new challenge at

 "It's All About Love"

Our sponsor is the wonderful

Spring at TPC

Hi everyone,

It's time for a new challenge at 

Totally Papercrafts

and the theme chosen by our fabulous Lisa is Spring.

I saw this cutie pop up lately on a few of the talented blogs I follow and decided it was time I tried my hand at colouring her.  I bought her last year and sadly this is the first time she has been inked.  She is a Magnolia stamp called Tilda with Tulips.

I added a beautiful Birthday Circle from Crafty Sentiment Designs, our sponsor this week.

I kept this card fairly simple...tried adding flowers but in the end wanted the doily to be prominent.
  and yes.......... I am hoarding my flowers :)

Here are some Details:

Coloured with Copics

MS Punch-around-the-page Cherish

Ribbon - Stamp Simply Ribbon Store

Pink hearts

Good day everyone.   Yeah...it's Friday and that means a new challenge at
Totally Papercrafts
The theme for Challenge #181 is "Tag & Hearts"

For today's card I've used one of my favourite Magnolia stamps from an older collection called "Tilda with Hearts".  I tried the "no lines" colouring technique but was not very successful I'm afraid....I ended up with lines...huh!   I think I went wrong with my selection of ink colour.  I used Memento London Fog - perhaps a little too dark... but I am  happy with the results.   I'll have to check out the experts to see how to do it properly next time.

 The heart tag is a Magnolia die and the sentiment is from SU.   Heart doily is from my stash and the new orchid flowers and cosmo daisies are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Heart stick pins are from my stash as well.   Diamond dust was added to a second pair of wings, affixed with dimensionals.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Magnolia-Licious Challenge - Lacey lace

Lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolia #76 - Punches or dies

Papertake Weekly Challenge - Flower Power

Crafty Ribbons Challenge #58

Link Up for Pink Challenge #16
A.R.T. Card Challenge #11 - Anything Goes

We'd love it if you playing along with us this week at TPC 

and please check out the fabulous inspiration from the DT.

Have a great weekend!

Pastels at the Belli Challenge

Good day all. 

Welcome to another blog post and thank you so much for stopping by.

I do hope your week is going better than mine. A little drama in my crafting world with a broken Grand Calibur.  I was unable to complete the inside of this card as planned because the plates and die are stuck in the machine. The handle will not move and there are bits rolling around inside! Yikes! Spellbinders customer service are looking into the problem.  If anyone knows of a better alternative to the GC, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

On the brighter side I was able to complete the front for our new challenge at the 
  Belli Challenge

Darsie would like to see Pastels on your creations for this Challenge #167

I've used an adorable Tilda on my card today and she has been coloured with Copics.

Spellbinders Grand Labels One and Grand Decorative Labels One used for the shape.

For the Top layer I stamped a LaBlanche floral stamp in SU Certainly Celery then embossed with SU Elegant Bouquet embossing folder. These have been neglected for quite some time....how does that happen:)  

Stickles Cotton Candy added to the flowers and butterflies

Ribbon from my stash

SB Back to Basics Tags - sentiment in Word

MS Butterfly punches

I would like to enter the following challenges:
