Less is More Challenge #385

Hello and happy Sunday!  My card today is for the latest challenge over at Less is More where the theme is OLC Holiday.  I actually love a one layer card but I have to be careful not to make any mistakes because you cant cover them up with an embellishment!  I've used two very old stamp sets for my card today.  I stamped the tree with Kaleidacolor Caribbean Sea ink and added some diamond glitter to it using a quickie glue pen.  I also added some glitter along the bottom of the trees.   The sentiment is an old wooden stamp from Stampin Up Teeny Tiny Sentiments and I stamped that in CP Midnight ink along the side of the tree.  This card came together very quickly, I think I will make a few more in different colour combinations.  A pink one would look good!!

Christmas Reindeer card

Hello and happy Sunday!  I made this cute reindeer card for a crafty friend and thought I would enter it into some challenges.  I found two "new to me" challenges that this card fits!

The first one is  the Alphabet Challenge Blog where this weeks challenge is R for Reindeer.  Perfect!
The next one is 2 Crafty Critter Crazies.

I have used a digi stamp  from Bugaboo Stamps.  I used a mixture of Copics, Altenew Artist markers and Kaszazz alcohol markers to colour the image in and added some glitter around the panel.  

                                  



Thanks for looking!  I am off to enjoy a day of crafting now with my friend Tristan!  I hope she doesn't see this before I get to her house!

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #213 - Shades of Gold

 

Hello and happy Friday!  There's a new challenge over at the CAS-ual Fridays challenge blog today and we want you to use Shades of Gold on your card.  Gold screams Christmas to me but you can make any kind of card you like.  I have used the gorgeous Mistletoe & Holly Stamp set on my card.  I gold heat embossed the mistletoe and sentiment and then painted the image with Prima Metallic accents watercolors.  I ran a glue pen around the edge of my card panel and sprinkled it with gold glitter.  
There are so many different shades of gold on my card!  Click HERE to check out the challenge for yourself,  the rest of the Design Team have some gorgeous gold cards over there!




                                      

If you would like the chance to win a US$25 certificate to spend in the CAS-ual Fridays shop, all you have to do is make a "Shades of gold" card and link it up to the challenge here.  You don't have to use CAS-ual Fridays stamps but if you do use them as your main focus, Michele will double the prize to US$50.

Thanks for looking and good luck!

                                           

Muse Challenge #291 Christmas tags

Hello, my card today isn't a card!  It's a tag for the Muse challenge where Tracey is the current Muse with a gorgeous Christmas tag.  Click HERE to take you over to the Muse challenge blog.



                                                                 Here's Tracey's tag.

                                                      

Isn't it cute!!  I don't have any little people stamps (that I can remember) but I do have a new stamp set from Uniquely Creative called Christmas Cookies.  There are a heap of cute little images in this stamp set begging to be coloured.  I chose three, coloured them in with Copics and cut them with my scan n cut.  The tag is a Fri-Die from CAS-ual Fridays.  I sponged CP Inks in All that Jazz and Daydream onto my tag and spritzed with water.  

                                                                       Here's my tag.

Muse Challenge #290 - Birthdays are scary!

Hello, my card today is for the Muse challenge #290.  This weeks Muse is Anita with this lovely card.
                                                           

I based my card on the colours, the balloon and the layout.
I used Silly Monsters 2 from Your Next Stamp and the balloon is from Studio Katia.  I coloured my images in with Zig real brush markers but they didn't blend too well on the card stock so I went over it with Prisma pencils.  Hmmmm, it didn't turn out too well in the photo but it looks better in real life!
How true is that sentiment when your years are marching on!!

                                  

Thanks for looking and you can click HERE to take you over to the Muse card challenge to check out everyone else's take on Anita's card.

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge 282 - Sketch

Hello and happy Friday once again!  We have a new challenge over at the CAS-ual Fridays challenge blog today and it is a fun sketch.  I stamped one of my favourite sentiments from the Frankly stamp set and die cut some  4 petals Fri Dies.  I sponged the petals with CP Ink All that Jazz and added some detail with a white gel pen. The sentiment is stamped with Black Jack CP Ink.

       

If you would like the chance to win a US$25 certificate to spend in the CAS-ual Fridays shop, all you have to do is make a card using the sketch as inspiration and link it up to the challenge here.  You don't have to use CAS-ual Fridays stamps but if you do use them as your main focus, Michele will double the prize to US$50.

Thanks for looking and good luck!

Hello and happy Monday!  My card today is for the challenge over at CAS(E) this sketch.
I thought the Partridge in a Pear Tree stamp set from CAS-ual Fridays fitted in well with this sketch.
I coloured the leaves and pears in with Altenew Artist Markers. The Partridge is stamped with CP ink Aquatini.
