Sweet Stampin' DT Card - Strawberries, Chocolate & Cream

Morning Sweet Stampers & Followers,
Yes you are right it is Saturday again, and it is time for a new challenge over on Sweet Stampin Challenge.


Our challenge this week has been chosen by the lovely Debbie and she has chosen a colour combo of Strawberry, chocolate and cream...how yummy!! 


Our sponsor this week is the fabulous Pollycraft.... 



who are offering one lucky winner chosen at random the choice of 5 digis!!

Paula gave the team some digis to play with so check out what my fellow teamies have made... 


Here's my Card:

I went for a Easel Shaped card as I haven't done one in a very long time, so I thought I will make one.

My Papers I have used is from a 6x6 paperstack from K&Company, I had these papers for a very long time, so I decided it is time to dig them out and put them to good use.

The paper lace borders was punched using my Martha Stewart border punch and the doily shape which the sentiment is layered onto is a Nellie Snellen frame which I cut out using my Grand Calibur

I then added some ribbon to the borders and the distressed roses has been handmade using a tutorial I found ages ago on Youtube, the two smaller brown flowers is from Wild Orchid crafts, lastly I added the leaves and  the pins to the arrangement and some glitter stickles to my sentiment.

My image is Sharing Sherbert Daydream from Pollycraft.

I coloured my image using my Promarkers and then added some glitter to the wings.

Something Unusual - Sweet Stampin Dt

Well, Good Morning Everyone

It is actually very late, so I decided to post quickly schedule my post for this morning as I know now for a fact that I won't be up in time for this...lol

But I am feeling a bit tired and blurry eyed so I am going to make this as quick as possible....

Today we have our new challenge starting over on Sweet Stampin and it is a nice but not so easy one...lol or let me say for some of us - The new challenge is to use or make something unusual......sounds easy...

Anyway I went for something maybe not to unusual for some of you lovely ladies out there, but for me this was very unusual as I have never attempted anything like it before.

So I made a little canvas....Seeing that I will be redecorating my wee daughters room in the very near future, I thought I will try something to decorate the walls with...and this is what I came up with.

(Sorry if the picture isn't too good)

I started with a blank canvas, which I then inked lightly with some Salmon Pink ink round the edges just to give it a bit softer feel. Then I used the small MS butterfly punch to punch all the butterflies which I doubled up on to give the pop effect. The image is one I won a couple of weeks back it is from Karen Doodles and it is called - butterfly girl. I coloured her using my Promarkers and then I used a nestabillity to cut out the oval shape. Lastly I sticked on the ribbon the the wee flowers in the corners to give it a nice finishing touch.

So what do you all think???  lol

Challenges I am entering this into:

• Paper Shelter - Anything Goes
• ABC Challenge - X Ribbons
• Flutterby Wednesday - Open Challenge
