Challenge catch up......

I managed a little 'me' time today - here's what I made.



I thought it was about time I inked up this lovely stamp again from Funky Kits, coloured with copics as per Copic Colour Challenge this week, yes, there is a bit of E33 Sand, a tiny little bit used in shading the hair, the layout is from Sketch Saturday. I am also entering this for the Simon Says Stamp challenge which is to make a card for a new baby and the Crafty Creations challenge of celebration - what better celebration is there?
Papers are DCWV, hearts from stash, Martha Stewart punch, pearlescent card from Range, paper edges tinted with Tattered Rose distress inks.

Time to craft.....

I was sooo cold yesterday that after a spot of last minute Christmas shopping at Gunwharf I shut myself in my craft room, its so snug and cosy in there....
I've got a few special cards still to make and this is one of them. The stamp is one I treated myself to recently, I used an old sketch and my favourite DCWV papers, they just go on forever. Image coloured with copics.
I am entering this card into the following challenges, Crafty Creations, which is to use traditional xmas colours, Simon Says Stamp, which is Merry Christmas and Susie's Sassy Challenge which is A Touch of Gold, my touch of gold is a bit of ribbon from some posh crackers we had last year.

Finally a card.....

I spent a couple of hours sorting my craft room yesterday evening and as usually happens I got sidetracked and ended up making this card.



I was given this image as part of a RAK, thanks Paula. I chose the papers first, from my current favourite, MME Magnolia stack, then chose the colours for the image.
The layout is the sketch at Papertake Weekly this week, and I am also entering it for the My Time To Craft challenge 'Under My Umbrella' and Crafty Creations challenge of 'Metal/Metallic Finishes, hope my lil' brolly charm qualifies for this.
What a faff it was getting the links together and trying to get the charm to dangle how I wanted it to!
