Stamp Something cute

It's friday again and that means a new challenge for you over at the stamp something challenge blog!
This week we would like to see

Something cute

Our amazing sponsor is Sugar Nellie, and they generously gave the DT members some of their adorable stamps to use too!! There is of course a fabulous prize up for grabs too so hopefully you'll play along!

For my card today I used the stamp "bashful" from sugar nellie available here at funky kits. I stamped it on some GinaK pure luxury layering weight card stock and then colored with copic markers.

I think my designer paper is from bo bunny. I embellished with some gingham ribbon, a button, and a prima flower. The edges were sewn with my janome mini, distressed with some scissors and then sponged. The sentiment is from a set from Popcorn the Bear stamps. I have no idea where I found this sketch, forgot to write down the site into my sketchbook.

I have combined this challenge with a few others too:

• Craft your passion (buttons)
• Pollycraft (pastel colors)
• Let's ink it up (anything goes)
• Pile it on (anything goes)

That is all for today, hope you'll join us this week!

Have a GREAT weekend!!

Ellie.

DTC #94 Tropical Warmth

Happy tuesday and thanks so much for stopping by today!

We have another fun challenge over at digital tuesday, this week our theme is

Tropical Warmth!

It has been so cold over here, with snow and ice rain that this was a perfect reminder that summer will be here in only 6 short months!!!

For my card I have used an image from our sponsor Robyn's Fetish.


It's been colored with copic markers. The swimsuit and umbrella were paper pieced by simply printing the image out a second time on designer paper and cutting out, then adhering them onto the main image.
Then I stamped flourishes around the image with a stamp from paper inspirations which I picked up at Hobby Lobby. The sentiment is from the digital sentiment set "Summertime" by raindropecho available at Whimsy Stamps. I thought it was perfect to use with this image.

My papers are all from Stampin Up. The flower and scallop borders are from a stampin up simply scrappin kit that I had forever.
My sketch was inspired by a sketch from the lovely Anne-Marije, but I don't remember which challenge she created it for.

I have again combined this with a couple of other challenges, just 2 today:
Karber weekly (digi and ribbon)
Stamp Fairy (paper piecing)

Hope you liked the card and if you feel like you need a little bit of tropical warmth in your life why not join us at this challenge? Remember, you can now use anything digital, it doesn't have to be the main image! Plus you'll be entered into a drawing to win some cute digis from Robyn's Fetish!

Stamp Something Challenge

Happy Friday and thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hope you had a wonderful week and that you can enjoy the winter weather a little bit. We went sledding with the kids yesterday, we had so much fun!

It is time for another challenge at Stamp Something!

This week we are making it very easy on everyone, as our theme is

"Anything goes".


Our wonderful sponsor this week is Whimsy Stamps offering a fabulous prize to one lucky winner.
If you haven't been to their store recently be sure to do so, there is such a variety to choose from, with art from several artists, there is something for everyone. They have images in rubber and digi and even some pre-colored digis.

For my card I used a couple of brand new images just released yesterday from Meljen's Designs available at Whimsy Stamps. You can find both of the images here.

The images were colored using derwent coloursoft pencils and then I blended with some odorless mineral spirit.
My papers are all from Stampin Up, soft sky card stock and prints designer paper. Such a pretty color! The butterflies were also just released yesterday, and one thing I love about digis is that I can size them any way I want to. I printed these butterflies really small so I could use them as embellishments. I applied some stickles to the wings and also the flower centers.

I combined a few other challenges with this one,

• Everybody Art (sketch)
• Pink Elephant (colors pink, aqua, organge)
• Craft your passion (something to tie)
• A spoon full of sugar (thank you)
• Crafty sentiments (thank you)
• Meljen's designs (square or round cards)
• Stampin Bees (use a die cut)
  

That's all for today, hope you'll play along this week!

Be sure to check back here tomorrow for the very first Penny Black @ All sorts blog hop with lots of amazing prizes to be won!

Have a great day!!

Digital Tuesday Challenge - All white

Hello and thanks so much for visiting my blog today!

If you are here for the Whimsy Stamps Digital Release Blog Hop click here!




Our challenge today, chosen by the lovely Michelle, is

White only

Everything on the card has to be white except one image and maybe a sentiment. So all papers and embellishments had to be white. What a fabulous challenge, I think we are going to see some really elegant cards this week!

For my card I used an new image from Whimsy Stamps - Dance of Love - from the Crissy Armstrong collection. This image comes in black and white or pre-colored. I used the black and white version.
I had colored the image light brown and pink with some sky blue, but then I wasn't so sure I liked it. So I asked my 4 year old what she thought I should color it like, she said a purple mane and white horse. Why did I not think of that!! That sounds like the prefect princess horse!

So here is my card.

I added a little bit of green to the image as an accent color. The horse was covered with stickles glitter. I also added some glitter around the edges. I'm sorry, the papers turned out purplish, my camera does not like taking all white cards, but I promise you, they are all white. I used several Martha Stewart punches, and added some white pearls and white ribbon for embellishments.

Here is a close up.

I combined a few other challenges too:

• Friday Sketchers (sketch)
• Crazy Challenges (animals)
• Cupcake Craft (something new - new digi)
• Incy Wincy Designs (go dotty)
• Kaboodle Doodles (do it with digis)
• Karber Weekly (digistamps and pearls)

I hope you'll play along this week, we have another amazing sponsor, Stitchy Bear Stamps, givign away 5 digis to one lucky winner!

Have a great day,
Ellie .
