3 in 1........

.........there's something quite satisfying about completing a challenge, especially if you manage to combine numerous challenges, and still meet requirements. That can be a whole other challenge, so I'm quite happy with this card I created last night, that I'll be entering in 3 different challenges. From The Greeting Farm, here's Anya......in the snow........

So, here they are (in no particular order), we have

Cute Card Thursday #126 A sketch by Fran : this was a great sketch......lots of layers.

Flutter By Wednesday #118 a recipe challenge.......... 1 part sparkle, 2 parts DP, 3 parts buttons or gems (and of course you have to have an angel, butterfly or fairy on there) : I think I got everything in.

7 Kids College Fund challenge No.2 Strip It Down........use no more than 2 layers of DP on your card : this was quite a challenge as the sketch mentioned previously, has loads of layers. I made up for the lack of DP, with loads of card stock, embossed or otherwise!

So, I coloured with the usual combination of Copic's and Prisma's, used plenty of glitter, sponged around the image with a grey ink, also used some handmade paper on there to create that soft 'downy' fuzz. The angel is sort of pieced together with various shapes of chipboard I had (covered with card stock and inked). DP's are K & Company and Basic Grey's Kioshi.

Well, that's it for now..........I have to get working on my card for Stamping Bella's, Bellarific Friday.

The last days of Summer..........

......or at least 'Summer' themed cards that is. Just a very quick post with my final 'Summerish' card this week. This will be entered into 2 challenges I found whilst scouting around.

A new challenge blog by 7 Kids College Fund started up within the last couple of weeks, and looks like it should be fun. Their first challenge involved 'pink' and 'dots' so here goes.........




The stamp is from The Greeting Farm and was coloured with mostly Copic's and just a touch of Prisma's for skin shading. DP's are who knows........the remains of my wagon stash, as is pretty much everything on this card!

I do like the look of the Martha Stewart border punch,which I believe is actually 'dripping paint', but I thought looks quite good for a melting hot Summer theme. That leads me nicely into the other challenge I'll be entering this card into. The theme for challenge #26 over at One Stitch At A Time Challenge Blog is 'Pack A Punch', ie. use any punch or punches on a card.


That's it for now. I think I'll chill for the next couple of days!
