Black and white

Just uploading my entry to the CD Sunday “Game On”Challenge, before I head into work. (Although I suppose I should throw a few clothes on too, before I go!)

The chessboard is from My Craft Studio ‘A Very Important Date’ and the woman is from Debbi Moore My Fair Lady Theatre Boxes.

Zest is best

Here's a clean(ish) and simple card - actually most of my cards are pretty simple but this one is even more simple than most!
The stamp is by October Afternoon and the papers on the shorts, flag and Tshirt are scraps.

Mushroom Fairy

 

I've just completed my first week back at work after my 4-week summer break. Thank goodness there's a bank holiday on Monday!!

The fairy and the mushrooms are two separate digis from Crafts and Me and I used 3 different papers from a Memory Box paper pad. There's plenty of glitter on the wings but it doesn't really show up in the photo.

CD Sunday - Cute Christmas

The CD Sunday Challenge is such a friendly blog, I like to take part when I can.

This weeks challenge is 'Cute Christmas' .

All the images including the frame,bird and heart are from Papermania Christmas Past CD, except the dog which is from My Craft Studio Smudge CD . The stripy background paper is from a magazine freebie paper pad \nd I added gms and glitter glue.

Hot Stuff with a Hat Pin

'Hot stuff with a hat pin...' it's a quote from a Pink Floyd track - but today I hope you will think it describes me!!! 

The houses and sentiment are by Little Claire ; I used a Stampin Up punch to cut out the sentiment. The heart headed hat pins are by The Hobby House.

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Here’s another one I bought at Stamperama last week. The stamps are by Little Claire – there’s the window and there are stamps of the garden in all four seasons – so expect more variations of this!

Skaters

This is another one of those pesky cards that are difficult to photograph.

 I stamped the skaters (October Afternoon) onto acetate and coloured from the back with alcohol pens and OHP pens. Then I paper pieced onto the front for their coats. I half-stuck them onto a panel that I raised from base card with 3D foam, so they are kind of floating (or hopefully, skating!) in front.

The paper scraps are all Basic Grey and the sentiment is by Crafty Individuals.

I originally made this card for the Artful Times acetate challenge, then realised that after I'd chopped it about it didn't quite fit the brief! (Originally this was a layer of acetate).

Tightrope Walker

Hi!

This stamp (Judikins) is another old favourite : I’ve previously had her ballet dancing and skipping through flowers but today I’ve sent her up on a highwire to be a circus tightrope walker! What an exciting life she leads.

The papers, including the circle with the big top , were freebies with Making Cards magazine. The banner was made from a Kaisercraft stamp.

 I’d like to enter this for these challenges:

Acetate Angel

I found it quite hard to get a photo of this without my face reflected in the acetate!

This stamp is by Sweet Pea Stamps and is another of my Stamperama purchases.

I stamped the image twice, once onto card, once onto acetate. I coloured the card using soft shades of Promarker. I glittered the wings and flower on the acetate . Then I sandwiched them together using 3d foam and added a frame.

It gives a sort of 3d effect when you look at it from different angles but again, hard to photograph!
