That Craft Place next Challenge "By The Seaside"

This challenge was "by the Seaside".  I used a crafty individual stamp of some friends having fun at the seaside.  I coloured the image with copics and then trebled embossed with embossing powder, but unfortunately my camera is in need  of a new friend so you can see more detail !!!!!!
That Craft Place sell plenty of stamps so have a look at their website as they have  lots of crafty individuals. I must admit there is a large selection of different styles to suit anybodies taste.

My next card is my favourite Molly Bloom!!  In this card I used 4 different stamps and put them together to form a beach scene.

Molly is coloured in promarkers and i went over with copic glitter pens to add depth where needed.  The shells come all the way from Sicily, I knew i would need them some day!

My last card is a mixture of all sorts.  Really enjoyed making this card as there was alot of masking.  I made sure though I kept them all as it took ages cutting them out!  This image I used spectrum noirs to colour in, That Craft Place have now got limited stock of the extra sets.  I have my name down for one of them so fingers crossed I'll get mine soon, so give them a ring to see if they have any left!

Well I hope you like the cards that I've made, and thank you for taking the time to read my blog! xxx

  





The next card I made for the challenge I used 3 different stamp sets from Polka Doodle to make a larger picture.  I used promarkers and then highlighted the picture with copic glitters.

The last creation I made was a tag.  I used a Crafty Individual stamp which i stamped and embossed and then coloure in with promarkers.  I distressed the tags with distress ink and tied them together with different ribbon and placed a button with some decorative wired gems.  I hope you like this.

An other Challenge Home Sweet Home

My next challenge for That Craft Place was Home Sweet Home.  I loved this challenge as I used a Tando kit which i used decorative paper and acrylic paint.  I will definitely be buying these kits again.

I really had to put these on my blog, I know I've not made them now but if you wish to purchase these wonderful stamps you can buy them from That Craft Place.  Lisa has a wonderful shop and if you can't get to her then I highly recommend going onto her web shop and buying them direct from Lisa.  Hope you like these.

birthday cards

These  cards were made for the unexpected birthday or just to say........  I really need to build my stock up with cards as I'm finding my family just comes over to help themselves, and then when I need a card there's nothing in my box!

third card for the challenge buttons and bows

This last card I used Paper Artsy Stamp. I used Joanna Sheen paper for the background and stamped imaged onto card.  I  coloured the tree with promarkers  and  aqua  markers.   I  embellished the tree with small yellow buttons and before placing on decorative paper I  rouged  ribbon  on the edge of the card.  I do like this effect, I think I might use this technique again!
I do hope you liked my cards for this challenge and inspired you to be creative in using ribbon instead of paper.

second card to the challenge

I loved making this card,  I made my background using 2 different coloured ribbon and made a lattice background to give me a beautiful affect.  It took a long time but I think the results are worth it it.  An other stamped image and coloured in with promarkers and glittered using copic pens.  More buttons were used to embellish the bottom of the card while I added feathers, ribbon, diamante stems and a hat pin, secured with a button in the centre.

buttons and bows

My challenge for that craft place was buttons and bows.
well it was a nice change as Christmas is now over and I don't want to see anything to do with Christmas!!
so here are my cards that i made for my contribution to the design team.

I used a really beautiful stamp from Bildmalarna.  I stamped and coloured in with promarkers and then high lighted areas with copic sparkle pens.  I used different shades and size of pink ribbon to make a flower and stuck a pink button in the centre. Then made the card into an easel card.  I hope you like my creation
