Stamp with fun #98–DT card

Good morning dear friends and Happy Valentine’s Day.  I hope you all get lots of lovely goodies from your loved ones today, although me and hubby have decided that we’ve been married too long for all that soppy stuff now and are just sending cards this year!!  Of course that doesn’t mean I don’t love him any less, he is so wonderful to me and I’m lucky to have him.  I had a quiet weekend as hubby went away with his friends to watch the rugby, so me and and the kids just chilled and watch TV and films (and I did a little crafting of course). 

I’m here this morning to share with you my DT card for this week’s stamp with fun challenge.  Our challenge this week is to use the gorgeous sketch provided by Andrea- Emmi41 and here is a picture of the sketch:

and here is my card:

The DT were lucky enough to be given images by our sponsor this week so I chose this super cute image called ‘flutterby’ and coloured it with my promarkers.  I went a bit nuts with the pearls but I think they match the pearl brads so well.  I added liquid pearls to her necklace as well lol! 

Our sponsor this week is Paper Pretties and the lucky winner will receive a clear stamp set called ‘timeless love’. 

The rest of the DT have created amazing cards for your inspiration once again this week, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate the lovely comments you leave for us.

Stamp with fun #60 – DT card

Good morning, it’s time for a new challenge over at stamp with fun challenge.  This week Tina46 has given us a gorgeous sketch to use:

and this is what I came up with:

   

I dug out my liquid pearls which I haven’t used for ages.  I think I was a little heavy handed as instead of staying as individual dots they sadly merged together slightly!  I also paper pieced the dress. 

The rest of the DT have created gorgeous samples once again this week, so please pop over and take a look if you get the chance.

Penny black #39/OSCC #19/Dutch dare #39

Here I go again combining challenges again! Even though I've been off work for 4 days I've been out and about with my mum and friends as I don't normally have a chance when I'm working. It's been great I've been shopping to Cardiff and Ikea, and for coffee and a chat with friends from work and of course a little craft shopping along the way haha. Anyway onto the card, I'm entering this one for the penny black challenge this week, which is a recipe '3 brads, 2 ribbons and 1 flower', the OSCC is 'sorry' and coincidentally the dutch dare challenge is 'sorry I forgot'. I stamped my new penny black 'roses on the run' image and coloured it with my pro-markers, adding stickles to the roses. The dp is 3 bugs in a rug (and I've used both sides for this card). The 2 pieces of ric-rac ribbon, brads and flower are from my stash and the sentiment was created on the pc. I even dug out my liquid pearls for a change and added some dots around the place. I hope you like, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. Thanks for stopping by.
