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...

So for my card I decided to combine them and use the new Hugs & Kisses freebie image from Saturated Canary...although she is no longer available as a freebie, Krista has added her to the SC store for a reduced price of $2. I have coloured her with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Eyes - B21/B66
Hair - E23/E25/E27
Clothing - G000/G00/R20/R21/R22/E40/E41/E42
The papers are all American Craft Dear Lizzie 5th & Frolic layered with some Bazzill Kraft cardstock. 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.

Be sure to check out both challenges as the DT have made some gorgeous samples, and both blogs have a fab prize....

 

Cheeky Geeky Corner Bookmark!

I have a few birthdays coming up for Georgia's school friends and like to keep a stock of cute corner bookmarks to add to their birthday cards...so here is the latest.

I have used a cute stamp from The Greeting Farm called Cheeky Geeky. She is stamped onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock using Momento Ink in Tuxedo Black, and coloured with Copics.

I have used up scraps to make the bookmark the biggest piece you need is the cardstock measuring 4x4 inches. They are a great way to use up scraps and the kids love them...I have lost count of the number I have made and then given to my daughters friends for their birthdays. This time I have used scaps of red cardstock and scraps of My Minds Eye Lost & Found 3 - Ruby. Embellished with some seam binding, a sticker and a sentiment made with a Dymo style machine.

If you want instructions leave a comment with your email address and I will send you them.

So I finally decided to ink up on of the recent stamps from The Greeting Farm called Anya Styles...She was stamped using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock, and coloured with Copics. The papers are all by Echo Park from the Yours Truly pad (last years Valentines range). As soon as I saw her I thought of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" so added that to the journal card from that range....with a little Dymo added to finish the sentiment off. The banner was also done with bits from the same line and added with some Bakers Twine called Divine Twine in Peppermint. Anya has been trimmed and added to the card using 3D foam pads.

Cute Card Thursday - Beat the Blues!

This week over on the Cute Card Thursday Challenge Blog our theme is Beat the Blues! We want to see your cards interpreting this theme....I have chosen to add a little moustache humour to my card using My Minds Eye My Favourite Things papers and Glitz Designs Truly Yours papers layered with black shimmer cardstock by Craftwork Cards. The moustahe and glasses were cut from the same black cardstock using a My Creative Time die and stamp set called What's Growing On? and the Polaroid frame was cut also from white shimmer cardstock from Craftwork Cards using a Lil' Inker Designs die called Instant Camera. I have finished off my adding sentiments from the What's Growing On? set, some Bakers Twine, and a Flair Button.

Saturated Canary Challenge - Photo Inspiration...

Ok, so I am sooo late with this card....but in my defence, one of the hard drives on my PC crashed. I came back from Christmas away visiting our family down in London and it has taken a few days to get everything back up and running...I have such a wonderful Husband.

 

So here is my Saturated Canary Challenge card from 20th December...

I have used an image called Starla which I have coloured with Copics using the following colours...

Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20

Hair - E50/E51/E53/E55

Clothing - Y21/BG10/BG11/E51/E53

The Papers are all Pink Paislee Portfolio which I have layered with some Bazzill Kraft cardstock. The moustache is a die-cut that I bought from Etsy and I have put it on a cocktail stick, added some Washi tape to the card (top one from Paperchase the other is MME) and a sentiment using Making Memories Tiny Alphas.

 

Make sure you pop back tomorrow as I have a couple of things to show that I made back at the beginning of December before everything got crazy for Christmas.
