Oh Baby - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

My poor little one has a cold - a week after starting school!  Glad it's the weekend though so he can relax and get better soon.

The Daring Cardmakers latest challenge is a baby themed one and I actually had a commission earlier in the week for a baby card for new grandparents.  I hadn't made of of these before but it was good to use a number of products from my stash to create it.

I began by choosing my papers so I had a colour scheme to go with and I used the Trimcraft First Edition Hey Baby paper pad.  I then stamped and die cut the baby word and stamped and coloured in the cute image with my Chameleon pens.

I added a die cut cloud and some Nuvo drops to finish.  I hope the recipient likes it!

You can see lots more inspiration from the DT HERE and I hope that you will join in.

See you again next week!

Adorable Animals - Tubby Craft DT

Happy Weekend!

As promised I'm back, a day later than planned but nevermind!  I am sharing a couple of very cute animal cards using the Tubby Craft Giraffe Love and Baby Elephant stamp sets.

For my first card I stamped the image using the Tubby Craft Lead Grey Ink Pad.  I then proceeded to colour in the image with my Chameleon pencils and coloured in the background too.  

To finish I cut a strip of card in a contrasting colour and stamped the sentiment from the same set along it in a line.

Next up, I used the Giraffe Love set and stamped the image in Tubby Craft Chocolate Brown.  I coloured in the image with my Chameleon pencils once again and fussy cut it out.  

I added die cut circles to my card base and used different elements in them.

I've just come in from doing the garden or as much as I could as the garden bin is now full!  Hope you're enjoying your weekend!

May Elemental Challenge - Daring Cardmakers

Happy Friday!

The first Friday of the month means an elemental challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers.  My inks and heat embossing are making an appearance again for this one! I made a background using the distress inks and die cut the butterfly.  The butterfly came with a thinlit which I cut and used to to place over the the inked butterfly like a stencil.  I then used the versamark on it and heat embossed it.  I love the sparkly effect you get with the Tonic Nuvo Glitter Embossing power.

I'm going to personalise the card for my son's classmate whose party is tomorrow.  Well, who doesn't love a glittery butterfly?!  I'm sure she'll love it!

Below is the the fabulous mood board Joanne chose.  I love the colours and all the different elements.  You have to choose at least 3 of the elements for the challenge.  I chose the pattern from the socks (embossing folder), the colours and the butterfly.

There's lots more inspiration from the DT members HERE so I hope you'll join in!

Enjoy the weekend,
