Cute Card Thursday - Anything but Square!

This week over on the Cute Card Thursday challenge blog our theme is "Anything but Square". We want to see your cards in any shape but a square.

For my card I have used one of the cute new hAnglar & stAnglar baby mini kit that I got from eBay last week, and I have coloured her with Copics using the following colours...

Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20

Hair - E50/E53

Clothing - R81/R82

Rattle - E50/E53/R00

I kept this one very simple just adding some baby footprints using my Autumn Leaves stamp and created the bib using my circle and scalloped circle Nestabilities, with my SU oval punch to create the neckline. The dotted paper is by Craftwork Cards and is from their Sugar & Spice paper pack. Apart from that I just added some ribbon a couple of Fancy Pants pins and one of my ticket sentiments.

Be sure to hop on over and join in with this weeks challenge...you may just win that Simon Says Stamp $25 voucher.

SCROLL DOWN FOR LILI OF THE VALLEY POST...

This week over on Cute Card Thursday challenge bloy our theme is "No Designer Papers!". So no pre-printed/bought digi papers. You can however emboss, stamp...or leave plain cardstock.

Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20

Hair - E50/E51/E53

I have also used a Magnolia script backgound stamp which I stamped over the main image by masking her off first. The cardstock is DCWV (teal), Bazzill (brown) and Stampin' Up (kraft) and I have sanded and embossed it with Cuttlebug embossing folders. I have simply added some Ikea string, a sentiment by Craftwork Cards, a couple of pins, pearl bling and some Bazzill tulle.

A Spoon Full of Sugar meets Papertake Weekly

Here is a card I made using the sketch over on Papertake Weekly, and the theme over on A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge blogs. On A Spoon Full of Sugar they wanted you to use Distress Inks, Pearls and Glitter.

For my card I have used one of the new hAnglar & stAnglar images that I received from a wonderful, kind and caring friend over in Sweden....there were four stunning stamps in a packet with a card for my birthday...and being the impatient minx that I am....I HAD to open them...LOL. Anyway, I have coloured her with my Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - E44/E47/E49
Clothing - R81/R83/R85/C0/C1/C2
The papers I have used are all Basic Grey "Sultry" and are layered with some Bazzill cardstock. In accordance with the request in ASFOS, I have used "Vintage Photo" Distress Ink to ink the edges of the papers and the main image and sentiment. The sentiment is one that I got from Simon Says Stamp and is made by Inkadinkado (love these kids quote ones). I have further embellished with some lace and a cherry blossom by Wild Orchid Crafts, some Heidi Grace and Maya Road pins, some pearl bling from my stash and another sentiment by Craftwork Cards.
