Number It- Daring Cardmakers Challenge

 Hello and welcome back to my blog!

This week we are back with another new challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog. This weeks challenge is set by DT member Shabneez and she says;

'This week, I'd very much like to see how you use numbers on your cards.  I think the cards I make the most have numbers on them!

NUMBER IT!

Create a card using numbers either in the background or for a special birthday or anniversary.'

  Another chance to take out this cool stamp set by Jo Firth Young (JOFY44). Love the robots in this set but this time instead of using just one character I decided to use all three. Normally I use alcohol markers for colouring my images but today I'm using colouring pencils. I created a small background panel and used oxides to create a mixed watercolour effect. Once dried I used one of the stamps to create a pattern on the background. Then using the nuts and bolts stamp I created a border top and bottom of the card base which I coloured in using a silver metallic pen. Then I adhered the coloured robot panel onto some black card stock and used the silver metallic pen to add some highlights. Finally I die cut the number 16 and stamped a happy birthday sentiment and arranged them to the front of the card. Number card complete yay!

I hope you enjoyed my take on this weeks challenge. Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog.

Beautiful Buzzing Bees- Daring Cardmakers Challenge

 Hello and Happy Friday!

This week I'm hosting a brand new challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog. This week its all about the bees. 

Beautiful Buzzing Bees

  

Create a card, a tag, a box or a gift bag with bees in mind. You can use anything related to bees like honey, honeycomb, bee hives and of course some lovely buzzing bees.

I have been going through my stamp stash and came across this Honeybee stamp set #330 by Aallandcreate, designed by Tracy Evans. Its been a while since I used it last and thought this would fit the challenge perfectly. I began by creating an inky background using distress oxides and stamping the honeycomb stamp. I stamped and coloured the beehive and the small bee from the Little Critters set #436. After cutting them out, I glued the bee to the front of the beehive. I mounted the background onto some black cardstock and added a piece of lace down the centre. After adhering the background to the base card I added a couple of strips of black card towards the bottom. Then I placed the beehive on top using foam pads. To finish off my card I added the words 'Protect Bees' which are on the beehive itself in case your wondering.  

I hope you enjoyed my take on this weeks challenge. Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog.

Little One(s)-Daring Cardmakers Challenge

 Hello and happy Friday!

Welcome back for another Daring Cardmakers Challenge. This weeks challenge has been set by Miri and its called;

Little One(s)

Make a card for the little people in your life or think small in a different way and use tiny little letters, sentiments or images on your card!

For this challenge I have used monster stamps by Art Inspirations designed by Mr Barghest. I stamped the cute little monster onto watercolour card and used watercolours to colour the image. Most of the sentiment stamps are also from the same set, apart from the Happy Birthday stamp which is by Elizabeth Craft designs. I wanted to keep it simple so I framed the image with doodle lines and stars. Once I had finished the main image I created a colourful background using watercolour paints and mounted them both onto a card base.

Spots and Stripes- Daring Cardmakers Challenge

 Hello and welcome back to my blog!

 I've been missing from blog land for a couple of weeks as I've had a whole household off with the flu including myself. It's taken a few weeks to shake off and recover fully. This past week my mum and dad have been poorly too which led my mum to be in hospital. Thankfully all is well and both now recovering slowly.

So this week even though I had my card ready for the challenge I'm a little late posting it on here. This week we have a Spots and Stripes challenge which I really enjoyed.

For my card I have used Anna Marie Designs patterned papers and sentiments. I love these papers they go so well together. I created spots and stripe banners to go across the card and glued them into place with the sentiment topper. This card is a quick to create for those last minute birthdays.

I hope you enjoyed my take on this weeks challenge. Show us some of your creations and don't forget to share on the Daring Cardmakers blog. Thank you so much for stopping by and I wish you all a very happy weekend. Check out all the inspiration from the DT over on the Daring Cardmakers blog;
