Big Hugs Hot Air Balloon card

Hi Crafty Friends,

I'm back! I've been studying this past year (interior decoration and design) and it's taken so much of my free time I just haven't had time to keep up my blogging. I have a semester break now and so I'm hoping to get back into things but on a much smaller scale, just entering a few challenges, not the gazillion I used to hehe. 

I've still been making cards every chance I get and I really hope you'll enjoy seeing my new creations.

This card was created with textured paste, stencil and then inked with distress oxide inks. 



I am entering this card into the following challenges:

As you like it - My fave colours to use out of Summer and Winter are definitely Summer - I love the bright, breezy pastels and happy colours, they just make you feel good.

Distress Oxide Inked round girly card (Polkadoodles image)


Hi Crafty Friends,

It's time for a new Polkadoodles challenge, woohoo!! I hope you'll join in as I love to see what you're all creating. Their challenge is always "anything goes" and you don't have to use one of their products. Nikky gives the DT a theme each time and this one was to create a round card.


For my card I have used a stunning image from the Darling Buds collection - she's called Crocus.

I die cut a white circle and scalloped circle and before I took them out of the metal die, I blended some oxide inks, sprayed lightly with water and dried off then took them out of the metal die which helped to give a crisp white edge to the dies. I used pinks and yellow Copics to colour her outfit and flowers for an orangy (is that a word hehe?) shade to them as well as the yellow and pinks. 



I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Catch the Bug - anything goes 
Colour Crazy Challenge - anything goes W32 
The Corrosive Challenge - anything goes
Crafty Friends -  anything goes

Spaghetti celebrations (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi crafty friends,

I've had this guy for the longest time but not got around to colouring him up until now. He's perfect for a masculine card isn't he? I ripped scrap papers and just glued them all down onto a scrap piece of paper then cut off the overhanging pieces, it's an easy but effective way to use up scraps (which is what I keep doing at the moment while I'm trying to get through my patterned paper stash). I wanted a little splash of colour so added in the red. You can find the Italian chef at The Paper Shelter.

Hip Hip Hooray, You're 6!! (Polkadoodles image)

Hi crafty friends,

I haven't been around much in Blogland as I've started an interior decoration course and although I love it, it's not giving me much spare time. I have so many cards to post here still so sometimes there'll be a lot less "talk" content on my posts but I think you're all here to see my card and not my ramblings so I think it's all good hehe.

Here's my card made with a sweet Polkadoodles image. I made the background with a Simon Says Stamp striped background stamp and then splattered similar colours on my image piece. I paper pieced her dress.



I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aud Sentiments - anything goes with a sentiment 
Creative Craft Cottage - no patterned paper
Cute Card Thursday - Spots and dots 
Simon Says Stamp (Mon) - Sprinkling and Splattering - I used distress oxide inks & water to splatter.
