literally and figuratively! It’s hot hot hot here but unfortunately nothing needs washing as it would have been a perfect opportunity to dry everything! It is also what I think when I see this new LOTV stamp, she is such a cutie!

LIM Sketch

Im really happy with the sketch but the sentiment which is wood mounted and was stamped parallel to the bottom of the card has come out wonky, so following Chrissies wonderful idea, new sentiment layered over old one!..i made myself use scraps and punches that haven't been aired for a while...that will have to be my promise to myself...stop reaching for the fave's and try to use everything...but not all on one card!  Anyhoo here it is

Well it's Sketchie day over on Craft Bubble in the CMLI group and thie week has been set by none other than our very own Purple Princess. There is a sketch to follow and the theme is Monochromatic and Masculine....wow there's a toughie!! I already used up my good ideas for this on my ff card earlier this week!

Anyway after racking my brain, whilst in the shower I had an epiphany! I think it was looking at the shower curtain that did it!

Well I am not convinced Summer is here (as the rain hits the window) but a lot of the Challenge blogs live in hope! I have had this CC Designs Bikini stamp since last year and it's another one I have never used...I need to make an effort to use the ones that have never seen ink...unfortunately the list is growing as I keep buying new ones!

I also need to to use embellishments that are sat in the drawer, like these little blue pearls!

Stitched Up!

Well not quite…Stitching is the new challenge theme over at Digi Doodles Shop Challenges this week!  
I got a small sewing machine last year as I loved the way it looked on other people’s cards, hmmm i need to practice more! I had all good intentions of having a go at the zigzag stitching then realised I hadn’t left enough border.. ah well you live and learn.

Friendship

Although i have ordered some of the LOTV new range of stamps I also have some die cuts. My super spangly stamps arrived today but I have not had chance to get them inked I thought I would enter the Lilli of the Valley anything goes challenge.

I did add some sparkle with a jelly roll pen around the rose on the image but don't think th image picked it up...ah well.

I will be entering this card into these challenges also;

Shabby Tea Room - pink, green, neutrals and flowers

KB Challenges - anything goes

Celebrate for Father’s Day

Although I kept seeing the challenge blogs with themes of Fathers Day I completely forgot until my oh pointed out our cards needed to be posted in the next few day…..Oooops!
I had an idea a while ago for one of my stamps and then got some more inspiration from my craft bubble buddy Kathy after seeing her use memento rich cocoa.


I had some cream deckle edged cards that had been languishing in my drawer for a looong time and thought it would be perfect for using with the rich cocoa. I hadn’t meant to cut and layer my little teddy, I originally stamped straight onto the card..but being me I had a smudge mark!

I used a papermania folder for the background layer then used a Stampin Up! sentiment and I’m actually really pleased with how it turned out! Looks much better than just stamping on the card! I hope my Stepdad likes it as much as I do!

I will be entering this card into the following challenges;

Cupcake Craft - boy,oh boy,oh boy
Dream Valley Challenges - Fathers Day

Let your image shine..

was Lauren's theme for the sketchie over on cmli..I bit the bullet and had another go at the derwent pencils. I used paper stumps and baby oil but think I need a LOT more practice. Minimal embellishments as the sketch said, i used one of my new gg images as none of them have been coloured yet! I think i need some bigger nesties as I only have one large enough to cut the image out!

If any knows how you 'sharpen' your paper stumps, please let me know!!

CMLI Challenge

This week’s challenge was set by the lovely Rosie, we had a sketch to follow and we had the twist of using cardboard! Eeeek! Anyway, as usual the dt came up with some stunning examples and we all heaved a sigh of relief.

I managed to use a cardboard envelope as the boxes I had were too thick and I wouldn’t have been able to put them through the bug.
Note to self.. don’t use extra sticky glue again – I wanted to make sure the image would stick to the cardboard, I used glue one side and pads the other as the cardboard was raised. The glue made the image ripple and bubble so it looks pants now..

Materials used, pink petticoat papers, promarkers , cardboard, spots and dots embossing folder, twine and buttons/feathers from stash.

I will be entering this card into the following challenges;

Crafts and Me - stamp something

Doodle Flowers

This weeks challenge over at Digi Doodles Shop Challenges is ‘no backing paper’. Oh no! I hear you cry, well you can continue to stroke those papers as we don’t want to see them .

I have used one of the flowers from Doodle Flower set 2 which you can get from here . I have printed it multiple times, reducing the size slightly each time. I have used oranges and love the zesty look of this card.

Button and gems from stash
