ATSM #345: Photo Inspiration

Hello again, friends! Time for another challenge over at Addicted To Stamps and More. This week the theme is Photo Inspiration. All you have to do is create a project inspired by this fun and vibrant photo. You can pick the colours, elements, textures etc. There's no right or wrong answer.

This challenge celebrates ATSM's 7th birthday! Can you believe it?! Time sure flies when you're having fun. Thank you Kylie for another awesome year and here's no many more fabulous years!

Here's my offering for this week's birthday challenge, inspired by the balloons, presents and colours.  Lawn Fawn's Party Animal stamps and coordinating dies have just what I needed for a fun and upbeat card. And for added colour I inked the background with Distress Inks. No party will be complete with glitter ... thank you Stardust Stickles!

Now it's your turn to link up your project to the Photo Inspiration challenge. Don't forget to let us know what elements from the photo inspired you.

Thanks for stopping by and have fun with this challenge.

Tuesday Throwdown #433: Shaped Card

Good morning, friends! Time for another new challenge over at Tuesday Throwdown and this fortnight we are making: "Shaped Card".

Our sponsor for this challenge is Fred She Said and I'm using beautiful floral set called Sunflowers & Thankfulness (uncoloured) Digi Set. This design also comes in pre-coloured version for quick and easy projects.

This is my offering. I fussy cut around flowers at the bottom edge. I coloured the image with Copics and addd the ribbon at the top. Truth be told, the bow is hiding a little chocolate accident!

Here's the inside of the card:

You can see the fussy cut floral edge here. It actually makes an interesting change and still fits into a standard envelope.

Now it's your turn to create a project based on this week's theme: "Shaped Cards". For ideas and inspiration, take a peek at what the rest of the DT members have made. Remember to link up your project at the Tuesday Throwdown Challenge Blog by 3pm Pacific / 11pm UK on Friday, June 17th. And the most important requirement: Have Fun!

ATSM #343:Holiday

Hello again, friends! Time for another challenge over at Addicted To Stamps and More with my favourite theme - Holiday. I say favourite because are are so many party-days in a year to choose from but I almost always end up making a Christmas card. Not this time!

And here it is ... a simple little thanksgiving number featuring Lawn Fawn's Cutie Pie stamp set and coordinating dies. I used an orange card base and plain inked background. The embellishments are simple too - Lawn Trimming and a single red gem.

Here's a closer took at the pie coloured with Copics.

So now it's your turn to link up your project for the Holiday Challenge. It can be any holiday - Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day etc.

Thanks for stopping by and have fun with this challenge. 

Beijinhos!

ATSM #341: Anything Goes

Hello again and welcome to another challenge over at Addicted To Stamps and More. This week the theme is an easy one - Anything Goes. Absolutely no excuse not to play along!

I made a birthday card for my friend Sandie Munro featuring Power Poppy's Gerbera Daisies Digital Stamp set. I coloured the image with Faber Castell Polychromo pencils and framed it with Lawn Fawn's Perfectly Plaid Fall 6x6 paper. To finish the look, I tied a bow around the stalks with Lawn Trimming.

Here's a closer look at the image. I added a dollop of Glossy Accent to the centre of each flower and finished with a droplet of Liquid Pearl.

Now it's your turn to link up your project for the Anything Goes challenge. You can make anything you like. I look forward to seeing your projects.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have fun with this challenge.

Beijinhos!

ATSM #339: Clean & Simple

Hello again, friends! It's time for another challenge over at Addicted To Stamps and More.  For this challenge, you can create anything you like - card, tag, bookmark etc - as long as it is CAS.
If the concept of CAS eludes you (as it does for me!), here's a checklist to help you:

Here's my offering: a simple card using PI Sending Big Hugs stamps by MFT. I'm keeping it simple by showcasing the cute little girl against a plain background.

I used Caran d'Ache watercolours pencils for her hair and skin. Her dress and shoes got the paper-piecing treatment... fiddly but strangely therapeutic!

Now it's your turn to link up your project for the Clean & Simple challenge. Thank you so much for stopping by and have an amazing day.

Beijinhos!

ATSM #337: Make Your Mark

Hello again, friends! Time for another challenge over at Addicted To Stamps and More. This week we are playing Make Your Mark. For this challenge, you can create anything you like as long as you use something to make a mark. Feel free to use pencils, pens, markers, chalks, crayons, paints, stains, inks ... whatever takes your fancy.

Here's my offering for this challenge. I used a lovely floral set called Tulips in Hobnail Pitcher by Power Poppy and coloured it with Faber Castell Polychromos. I decided not to add any colour to the background because there's lots going on in that Hobnail Pitcher. However, I could resist adding a few sequins . Bling's my thing now. Don't judge! :)

Here's a closer look at the gorgeous tulips.

Now it's your turn to link up your project for the Make Your Mark challenge. There are so many colouring media to choose from. I look forward to seeing your projects.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have fun with this challenge.

Beijinhos!

Good morning, friends! Time for another new challenge over at Tuesday Throwdown and the theme this fortnight is everybody's favourite: "Anything Goes".

Our sponsor for this challenge is Kitty Bee Designs and I'm using a super adorable image of the darling little Emilee the Elephant on my project.

Here's a closer look at the the cutie pie. I coloured her with Copics, and then I went in with Polychromos to give her some texture. And to finish... baby bling for baby Ellie!

Now it's your turn to create a project based on this week's theme: "Anything Goes". For ideas and inspiration, take a peek at what the rest of the DT members have made.
