Creative Card Crew - Seeing Red

Good Morning! It's time for another fab challenge at Creative Card Crew & with Valentines Day around the corner, for this challenge we are

SEEING RED

I have had this Marie Antoinette image from Kraftin Kimmie for the longest time & this challenge seemed like the perfect time to ink her up. I love colouring material, so I had loads of fun with this one! Having said that I would like to give her another go as I'm not entirely satisfied. She coloured with Prismas & the papers are a mix of MME scraps. The sentiment is Catslife Press.

 

I based the layout on the fab sketch at the Kraftin Kimmie challenge this week, so I would also like to enter this there.

I hope you'll now pop on over to the Creative Card Crew blog to see the awesome inspiration of my fellow D-Teamies. You'll also see we have a fab sponsor this time around in Pizzazz Aplenty. They stock a wonderful selection of embellishments to have fun with in your crafting.

I've got to dash or I'll be late for work. But just wanted to thank you all for looking.

Big Hugs,

Passion For Promarkers - Lavender, Lace & Pearls!

Whoop Whoop! It's Tuesday & we've got another fab challenge for you at Passion For Promarkers. This week's theme has been chosen by lovely Emma & she has chosen lavender, lace & pearls. You can have so much fun with this!

We are sponsored by the oh so generous Simon Says Stamp this week, & our lucky winner will get a £10 voucher to spend at their store. How fabulous!

I've been itching to ink up one of the wonderful Simply Sassy stamps from Sugar Nellie. They're so gorgeous & a dream to colour!

My papers are Basic Grey - Kioshi & the sentiment is by Catslife Press from Crafty Emma's store.

I kept this card simple & let the image do the talking. Don't you just love her eyes!

I also have another card to share with you. I know Halloween has now been & gone, but I thought I'd share with you the card I made for my wonderful hubbie.

You probably recognise the image from Kraftin Kimmie & again it's coloured with Promarkers. The papers are MME Boo To You & the charm is from my stash.

The layout is based on the sketch at Friday Sketchers & Totally Gorjuss are hosting a  Halloween themed challenge this week, so I would like to enter this card in both those challenges.

Sadly life has been getting in the way of my crafting of late, so I apologise for not commenting as much as I would like. I hope to be able to fix that ove the next few days. I will also pop back later to add all the links to this post.

But for now, hope you are all having a good week!

Big Hugs,

Friday Sketchers for my Boss!

I must apologise for the quality of this of this photo. I made it the other night for me & my colleagues at work to give to our line manager for Xmas. Trouble was I had to leave early the next day & the light was terrible, so the colours do not show through properly. Trust me, IRL it is much nicer!

I based it on the fab layout at Friday Sketchers this week. The image is Antoinette from Kraftin Kimmie. I chose it because she looks a little bit like my curly haired boss. But the day after I finished it, she only arrived at work with straightened hair, LOL!!

I got the distressing tool out on this one, coloured her with Distress Inks & a Xmas card isn't a Xmas card without a touch of glitter! The sentiment is from Anna Griffin on a snowflake nestie background. The DP is MME.

Well got to dash. It's my last day at work tomorrow - YAY!! - & I've got loads of cards to make still - EEEK!!

Thanks for looking,

Big Hugs,

Antoinette Does SOS & Papertake Weekly!

I've had this Kraftin Kimmie stamp for a couple of weeks now & I've been just itching to get her inked up. The fab sketch at Papertake Weekly this week provided the perfect opportunity.

I just love the look on her face. She just looks so happy, oblivious & really pleased with herself all at the same time! The whole card actually looks a bit busy, but it just about works with the size of the image, (I hope!). The DPs are Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses, both they & the stamp were from Bunny Zoe's. It made a change to use non-traditional colours for a change, so I'm also entering her at A Spoonfull of Sugar, where the challenge is exactly that!

There's not much else to tell you about this. I had intended to make a snowflake embellishment with my nesties. But it actually looks more like a flower, which makes me think I will be able to use this die all year round! However, for the purposes of this card it is definitely a snowflake, Stickled to within an inch of it's life!! The swirls were made with an EK Success punch.

There you go then for now. I'll be back tomorrow with my card for the next Crafts 4 Eternity Challenge. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Thanks for looking.

Big Hugs to you all!
