Marlene was hosting the Scrap Online over on Tiets Club this week...unfortunately everything is in Dutch, so Marlene has kindly posted all the details over on her blog....thanks Hun.
So every five minutes we were given another stage to complete...unless you were like me and got behind because you were too busy (I was preparing the post for todays challenge over on Cute Card Thursday...so I think I can be forgiven). In the end I had all the pieces cut and the image coloured and matted...but nothing else, so when I saw Marlene's stunning card....I just copied the sticking by eye and didn't need to measure anymore....LOL. I even added a couple of things like she did...I was such a copy cat.
For my card I used a Magnolia stamp from the "So Spooky" collection which I coloured with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - YG00/YG03/YG06
Hair - C1/C3/C5/C7/C9
Hat - C7/C9/V17
Dress - C7/C9/V17
Boots - C5/C7
Broom - E49/E57
The papers are all by Magnolia, also from the "So Spooky" collection and I have layered them with Bazzill Bling cardstock and also Doodlebug sugar coated cardstock. I have also used one of my Stampin' Up punches, my Martha Stewart "Bat" punch to cut from bats from the sugar coated cardstock and finally I added a touch of black bling to finish the card off. Finally I added a sentiment with some 7Gypsies rubons.
A huge thanks to Marlene for taking the time to prepare the details for us all...and for making such a fabby card for us to copy...Thanks Hun x
Be sure to pop over to Marlene's blog to take a look...This card also qualifies for the theme of "Halloween" over on Papertake Weekly....so I am entering it there too.
I made this card last night for the challenges over on A Spoon Full of Sugar, Papertake Weekly and Daring Cardmakers. On Daring Cardmakers they want you to make a card with a theme that starts with the first letter of your name....I am a C...so Christmas. On A Spoon Full of Sugar they want you to you a colour combo of Brown and either Blue or Pink....so I used Brown & Blue. Finally on Papertake Weekly they want you to make a Christmas Card.
So, as you can see I had to hand draw it.....thank goodness for the SU grid paper...LOL. Below is how if interpreted my own sketch...I decided to turn it 90 degrees to the left.
The image is one of the new Magnolia Christmas Collection called "Unwrapped Tilda"...available HERE, I also used some of the Magnolia papers, a selection of which are available HERE, which I layered with some Bazzill cardstock. I added some gorgeous cream lace, pearls and some stunning flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts which I "glimmered and glamoured" and finished off with a sentiment by Craftwork Cards.
Just a very quick post from me as we overslept this morning and have to take Georgia to her swimming lessons in less than an hour...
This week over on the Crafty Angels Weekly Challenge Blog our theme is "Charmed, I'm Sure!". I want to see you use a charm somewhere on your card or project. The charm can either be shop bought or homemade....your choice.
This week over on the Anyone for Anya? Challenge Blog, Dawny has provided us with a fabby sketch. We are also sponsored this week by De Hobbykamer. For my card I used the cute little Halloween set. I coloured all the images with my Copics, and created the background using a CC Designs stamp from the Autumn Kit, and used Midnight Black & Night Sky VersaMagic chalk ink pads rubbed over the cardstock. The papers are all by Magnolia and have been layered using Bazzill cardstock and the main imaged is matted onto Doodlebug sugar coated cardstock. Finally all I did was add a sentiment from the same set as the characters and a few glittery bats punched with my Martha Stewart bat punch.
Here is a card I made combining THREE...yes three challenges..
This weeks sketch over on Sketch Saturday was provided by Sandra...so in the nick of time I made this card....I was combining it with the theme on Just Magnolia (Distressing) but I didn't upload it in time....hey ho...LOL, although it can also be entered into A Spoon Full of Sugar (Floral Fantasy)...
