SCS Challenge - Stitching - DT Card

This weeks challenge has been set by the lovely Beate and is Stitching (don't worry it can be false or real lol)

I plumbed for false stitching (after I couldn't get to grips with my mini sewing machine that I have had since Xmas but has not been out of the box lol). The freebie paper from Bearly Mine just happened to have some stitching around the outside so I was very lucky hehe.

I used Kenny K image Lady Raven and coloured her in with .... yep u guessed it Copics n ProMarkers hehe. I just cut around her and chopped off the corners with my corner rounder but then went to town with my VersaColor ink pads in Violet and Lapis Lazuli to match me image and paper.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid and coloured with the Copics n ProMarkers I used in the image and splashed with liberal amounts of glittery glitter.

I was struggling with a blank area then remembered my Klic n Kut so whizzed off a couple of swirls, coloured with a Purple ProMarker, sprayed the Stick n Stay and coated them with My Paper World Holo Irridescent Glitter. A printed sentiment finishes off this weeks card.

Pop on over to have a peek at the DT creations this week, very inspiring I must say (some even have real stitching too, brave buds xx)

Enjoy the sunshine too, I know I am *grin*

SCS Challenge - Tons of Texture - DT Card

This week's challenge is set by our lovely HELEN. She has chosen a theme of:-

TONS OF TEXTURE

Well I was a bit stuck with this one.  As the shop is closed at the mo cause the Woo's is on her hols I don't have a lot of cardmaking bits at home.  

I grabbed as much as I could before Xmas but there is always something you forget lol (I forgot my portable hard drive with all me digi papers on).  I have no paper packs (AAAAaaaaaarrrgggghhhhh)  Soooo I have spent the last few days going digi shopping for downloadable papers (Oh Joy everybody has got a sale on lol).

Luckly most of my images I have on my laptop hard drive (cause I'm a lazy begger an don't delete them after I transfer them hehe).  I was looking at doing my other halfs valentines card early (at least he'll get one this year haha) so combined it with this weeks challenge.

I used one of Kenny K's wicked images coloured with ProMarkers and Copics and shaded with my Prismacolor pencils.  I only went and picked up two different MS PATP punches so couldn't PATP and had to settle on only corners (what a nitwit!) using the MS Round Lattice corner.  As it was a white core card after I embossed using a Cuttlebug folder (for the life of me can't remember what its called grrr) I sanded it and used copious amounts of Stardust Stickles and stuck some pink heart bling in the corners.

The paper I have used is from the digi paper pack Heart 2 Heart from Monika Designs and has a wonderful crackle finish in a fab deep purple.  I just had to add some Wild Orchid flowers (but forgot to pick up a leaf punch haha) so I just coiled the stems around my pokey tool instead. Added some text to the tag from the digi pack and attached with a bit of ribbon.

Me hopes u likey and come & join us over at SCS Challenge.

Kenny K's Santa

2 posts in as many days, ooooh u lucky people lol.  I have been playing about with some Nitwit Collections I have and came up with the base of this card.  That's as far as I had got but couldn't think of what to put in the middle of the frame.  I sat and looked through my images (which took ages phew) then found my Kenny K ones and decided upon Santa (well he'll be here in a few hours hehe).

I coloured him with my ProMarkers and Copics but wasn't too happy with the shading so attacked him with me Prismacolor Pencils too lol.  I found some glitter that came with a craft magazine last year.  It was perfect as it is not as sparkly as my Stickles but gave a more subtle effect on his furry bits (ooerr missus)

I distressed the edges with my scissors and cats eye chalks then went around the edge of my printed sentiment with stickles.  I wanted more sparkle (and why not!!) so out came my spray n sparkle which I coated the frame with.

I am going to enter this into the following challenges .....

• Kenny K - Distressing
• Copic Creations - Sparkle
• Crafty Cats - Your Choice
• I ♥ ProMarkers - Anything Goes

Then I'd better get on to wrapping my chrissy prezzies hehe
