Anyone for Anya? - Colour Challenge

This week over on the Anyone for Anya? Challenge Blog our theme is a colour challenge. Yvonne provided us with a photo of daisies....so white, yellow, blue and a touch of green. For my card I used one of the new TGF Creeper Crew from the collection that is being released in April. I got a set at the beginning of the month when they were on a limited pre-release sale.....and I love them. I have coloured Leslie with Copics using the following colours...

Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20

Eyes - B21

Hair - B000/B00/B02

Clothing - B93/B95/B97/Y21

The paper is Echo Park Little Girl (yes I know they are upside down....I have since corrected that mistake...lmao) and I have layered with some Bazzill cardstock. I used the 

Die-namics Dizzy Doily for the white doily behind the image, and the Die-namics Say What set for the speech bubble and text. I added some AC satin ribbon, and a flower made from Seam Binding in white and a Prima Raja bling centre. I also used a sketch from the iPhone Sketches4Cards ( a freebie) that Anam created....totally rocks, as I just needed a sketch and fast last night...LOL. I love that with every sketch there is a card using the sketch for inspiration.

Anyway, be sure to check out this weeks challenge on AFA...the DT have as always made some gorgeous cards.

Anyone for Anya? - Get in Shape!

This week over on the Anyone for Anya? blog our theme is "Get in Shape". Now I am a complete numpty and thought we had to make a shaped card...when it was actually a 3-2-1 recipe challenge using shapes. So basically we want to see 3 different shapes on your card but 3 of 1 shape, 2 of another and 1 of a yet another. You can count your base card as 1 shape if you want to, and you can use whatever shapes you want.

So my card kind of can meet the challenge...purely by chance...
I used three triangles of cardstock, two images, and it made one pyramid (card).......can I be forgiven LOL.

The images on this card are The Greeting Farm digi stamps called Dressy Edward & Dressy Joyce, they have both been coloured with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - E50/E51/E53
Clothes - Joyce - BG10/BG11/BG13/R29
Clothes - Edward - E44/E47/E49/R29
The papers are all Cosmo Cricket "Early Bird" and the cardstock is Coredinations. I have added some sentiments with Inkadinkado quote stamp, and Craftwork Cards sentiments. The embellishments are pretty minimal on this one, with just a red spotted bow from Craft Fairy, A red heart pin and some Doodlebug ribbon.

I have included some extra pics...

Cute Card Thursday Challenge 30 "Christmas Animals"

This week over on the Cute Card Thursday the challenge is to make a Christmas Animal card. As luck would have it I bought on last weekend at Ally Pally. The stamp is by Creative Expressions and I have coloured it with my ProMarkers using the following colours...
Ice Grey 1 (Fur)
Blush (Nose)
Gold (Star)
Ruby/Gold/Lime Green (Lights)

I have used more of the K&Co "Peppermint Twist" papers, this time choosing more of the green/red colours as opposed to the pinker ones last time. I have added American Craft ribbon, Prima flowers and a few gems, finished off with a sentiment by Kelly Panacci " We Believe in Santa". When I coloured him, I tried to use uneven strokes with the pen to make his fur look more dimensional.

Went to a Stampin' Up party last night and got to see the new catalogue. Sadly SU didn't let the demonstrators order from the new catalogue befoe Oct, so we couldn't see many of the new sets....I think they only allowed them to see 4 of the new sets. I ordered the cleaning mat, the "Crazy for Cupcakes" set and the new "Tab stamps" that match their tab punch (which I already had)...been wanting the stamp cleaning pad for a while, so looking forward to it arriving.
