Crafts Galore Encore April Challenge

As it's the first of the month, today I'm sharing my DT card for Crafts Galore Encore.   

For April it's another anything goes challenge.

The sponsor this month is Babycakes DND  and the prize is 2 digi stamps.

 I decided to go with a slimline card this month. I added some Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet Distress Oxides to my glass mat and spritzed with water. I then smooshed my card panel in it until I got the desired effect. I then used a diamond stencil and applied Paperartsy Snowflake white paint to it. Using it as a stamp I pressed down over the inked area.

I then stamped one of the stamps from the AALL & Create set #453 Heart grunge in Versafine Clair Nocturne and Monarch randomly over the panel.Next I stamped using #304 Heartfelt using the Monarch ink.

 I moved on to stamping the large heart in the Heart Grunge set onto purple tartan paper and cut it out. I then adhered it to the card.

I printed out the gnome and paper pieced his hat and hearts with the purple tartan paper. I then coloured him with copics, adding shading to the paper pieced parts. I then added some highlights with my white gel pen.

I splattered some white paint over the panel using a white paint pen and adhered the gnome to it. I finished by stamping the LOVE sentiment from the Heart Grunge set and added it to the card.

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

Saturday and time for another

Sweet Stampin' Challenge

The theme from Team Wendy is

Anything Goes

with the option of 

World Oceans Day

(nautical/sea/ocean themed)

I absolutely adore puffins and so when I seen these super cute stamps from Alpaca Pals by Tracey Hey I just had to buy them (as you do!)

I wanted to go with a Scottish puffin so paper pieced the black parts with black tartan paper. I coloured the rest with my Copic markers.

I cut out my tag from white card and embossed a panel to fit on it. I watercoloured over it with some Light Blue to give a water effect. I mounted the puffins with 3D foam pads on the bottom right corner. I cut a panel of black card to fit my card base and doodled around the edge with my white gel pen and added the tag to it with 3D foam pads. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in white on the black card and doodled around it with the white gel pen too. I then added iy to my card on the left. I added some black ribbon and a button to the top of the tag. Some blue sequins to finish it off.

I really do love those puffins! (with a Scottish twist)

Time For Tea Designs - Moovellous

Thursday and time for another Time For Tea DT post.

Today I'm sharing a card using the fantastic new stamp and die set called 

Moovellous

They are both available to buy in the shop now.

I couldn't not do these super cute stamps as Heilan Coos (Highland Cows) seeing as I'm from Scotland. So of course it had to have some tartan too.

I coloured the coos with my Copic markers in Heilan coo colours. I also coloured three of the trees from the stamp set.

I added two strips of the tartan card to the top and bottom of my card. I adhered the trees in place and then mounted the coos with 3D foam pads in front og them to give some dimension. I finished it by stamping one of the sentiments in the set. 

Quick and easy card!

I've used this cute Scottie Dog image from Fred She Said. I bought it ages ago and have never used it. I'm not even sure if they're still about.

I coloured him with my copic markers and cut him out with my stitched rectangle dies. I stamped the sentiment and added a strip of tartan card. Next I matted it onto the tartan card with 3d foam pads. Some thistles to finish it off.

Sugar Bowl Challenge 133

Welcome to another new challenge at

 The Sugar Bowl

 

As always the challenge is Anything Goes and you MUST use a Sugar Nellie stamp (either rubber or digi)

 

For my card I've used this sweet Gorjuss girl image from Sugar Nellie called Sent With Love and available to buy at Funkykits.

I've gone for a fairly CAS card. (Well it is for me) I paper pieced her dress with tartan card and used my fab new Memory Box grosgrain ribbon die to cut the tartan card.It looks so realistic IRL. Doesn't show so well on the photos.

Wedding Cakes

I was asked to make a wedding card for a friend who was going to a wedding in Prague.It was to be Scottish themed as the groom was Scottish.I decided that instead of making a traditional card,I'd make a little keepsake. The template was from UKScrappers by a very talented lady and cut on my Craft Robo. I've made this little 3d wedding cake before as a trial,but this time it was for real and to give to someone on their special day.I assembled the cake and decorated it with tartan ribbon (can't remember which tartan),two little silver rings intertwined,some thistles on the top and a bunch of heather and a thistle down the side.
I then made up the box and lined with acetate.I then decorated round the bottom with more tartan ribbon.I cut out a few tags and decorated with tartan paper. On one I put the couples names and date of wedding.On another I added a wedding verse and also added another for my friend to write a personal message on.I added another little bunch of heather/thistles and added a gorgeous silver button with a thistle on it.All tied at the top with some tartan ribbon.

The couple really loved it thank goodness. My friend had taken it into her work beforehand and one of her workmates asked if I'd make one for her too as she was going to be bridesmaid at a wedding. This one was to have red tartan instead.So I made another similar one but used the red tartan (Stewart I think......) I had run out of little silver rings so used two entwined wedding bells instead (thank goodness for cake decoration shops!) Sorry about the not so good picture of this one,as I forgot to take a pic before I handed it over,so was done on a mobile phone.

Talking of cake decoration shops.One of them I went into in Glasgow (Top Tier) wanted me to take in samples of them to sell in their shops. I decided against it as I think I'd soon get fed up making loads of them.

Thanks for looking
