Lothian Crafts Challenge # 4 + Penny Black #109

I have made this card for 2 challenges.

Lothian Crafts Challenge #4 - Blue + 1 other colour
Penny Black Saturday Challenge #109 - Sketch by Beth

Penny Black has a sketch to follow and I have used a stamp called Daydream.  I have tried the 'cutting out of the box method' but I think I need to get me some of those 90 degree glasses to wear as the corners leave a lot to be desired.

Lothian crafts have a challenge of Blue + 1 colour, as you can see my 1 colour is green.  This is a paper from Tinker & Co.  The ribbon was white but I coloured it with my copics and the brads are from my stash.

My little book is working for keeping and eye on what challenges will fit with others but as I had a family emergency earlier this week (everything is OK now) I have not managed to catch up so I am starting again this week.

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and Happy Crafting everyone.  :-) xx

Mojo: FOUND

It was under a big pile of insecurity but with the help and encouragement of my blogging friends I have found my Mojo.

I am entering this card into 3, yes 3, challenges.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge #103 - In the garden

Papertake Weekly Challenge #41 - Sketch

Simon Says Challenge - Pink (or blue) with green & brown

I made this card last night and everything went really well, I loved the colours and enjoyed the colouring and then I opened the card and I had done it upside down.  I couldn't even turn it into a tent type card so out came the long blade craft knife and I carefully eased the whole front off and turned it round.  Luckily it stuck back down really well.

The recipe is 6 x 6 papers Wild Asparagus by My Mind's Eye  (love these papers), Penny Black stamp squeeze 'til I squeak, sentiment from Craftwork Cards, Ribbon C & C, plain pink mat from stash.  I colour the image using Copics and inks, then decoupaged a second layer for the mice.  I hope you like this card as much as I do.  And I hope the weather is better where you are.  It's rained all day today.  Have a happy weekend and I will post again tomorrow (told you my Mojo was back but I didn't want to do 2 posts in one day).  :-) xx

Penny Black Saturday Challenge #4 & A Gem of a Challenge #4

This is my entry for Penny Black Saturday Challenge #100 - a sketch and  A Gem of a Challenge #4 - burgundy, pink & green.

I have used a Penny Black stamp called Bees and Bunny.  The image was coloured with inks, I am not used to this media but I will keep practising.  The backing paper is from a Joanna Sheen CD, Victorian Christmas, the stripy paper is CC Tom Kitten CD. The circles are cut using my Nesties and the flowers are Flora Doodles.  May base card was cut from a 12 x 12 cream card.

One card 2 Challenges

I am entering this card into 2 challenges this week.

The Penny Black Challenge #97 Monochromatic Brown and the Moving Along With The Times #43 a sketch + animals.

It is the first time I have entered these challenges so I hope I have got the details correct. I coloured the Penny Black stamp (Minding Shelty) in inks. I used Frayed Burlap for the Shelty & Hedgehog and Anna Griffin Chocolate for the saddle and rug and mane highlights. I hope it will be allowed that I used a yellow copic for the stirrup.
