It's been a while...

So, it's been almost a year since I posted anything here, and 7 months since I was last in my craft room making anything...(that shocked me)...but I am pleased to say that I dusted off my supplies and made a card for this weeks CCT Challenge of Buttons & Bows...

So it contains no colouring...still need to get back to that...but it does contain a lot of buttons..Here's what I used...

Ingredients
Black Bazzill cardstock
AC Amy Tangerine "Stitched" paper
Assorted Buttons
Doodlebug Grosgrain ribbon
Lawn Fawn stamps "Awesome"
Craftwork Cards sentiment

I am planning on making at least a card a week....let's see how long I can keep that up.

Cute Card Thursday - Handmade Embellishments!

This week over on the Cute Card Thursday Challenge Blog our theme is Handmade Embellishments. As I was making a boy card I kept them pretty simple...

I made this card to send to a sick child via Post Pals...I found out about Post Pals via a Facebook Group called Jellypark Post Pals. The images are drawn by Claire Keay and once you have used an image to make a card for one of the kids, she will send you the next stamp (there are five in total). It's such a worthy cause and a lovely way to brighten up a sick childs day.

So back to the card details. As I said the image is by Jellypark and I have coloured it with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Clothing - BG70/BG72/BG75/BG78/E44/E47/E49/YR02
Monkey - YR23/YR24/BG70
The papers are all My Minds Eye Six by Six Away We Go and I have layered them with some Bazzill Kraft Cardstock. For the handmade embellishment part of the challenge I created the metal bling with a hole punch and some mirror cardstock and also added stars made with a Nestabilities die and a handcut arrow. The sentiment is from a Pink Paislee set.

Be sure to check out the challenge and also Post Pals and the Facebook group. So I have more cards to share... I have made more cards this week than I made during the whole of February/March/April...

Cute Card Thursday meets Saturated Canary!

This week over on the Cute Card Thursday Challenge blog the theme is "A Different Corner", and on Saturated Canary Challenge blog we have a colour scheme...I think of them as icecream colours...

I added a Unity Stamps sentiment, Bakers Twine and some ribbon which was stuck to the corners of the image and I made a flower using another colour. To make the flower all you need to do it take a strip of stitched grosgrain ribbon and pull the stitching on one side, this will bunch the ribbon up...then twist into a flower and stick.
