Mo's challenge blog dt

Its that time of the week again folks, a new challenge is running on Mo's challenge blog, this week its "Cute and cuddly"

For my card this week i am using "Talk to the bear" available from Mo's store HERE
I used my custumory copics to color this adorably cute image.  I decided to make an easel card for this challenge i am getting kinda bored with making regular sqaure cards.

Of course i over embellished the card as per my normal OTT style.  Also stitched around the edges for the extra bit of class, the paper i'm afraid is really old and i dont have a name for you.
The green frame around my image i used one fo the new joy corner dies and just joined the edges all the way around the make the frame.

have a great weekend crafting, i look forward to seeing what you make this week for our challenge

Mo's challenge blog dt

 We have our latest challenge for Mo's Fabulous digital pencil 2 up and running and this week its Autumn Fun.  So glad nobody chose Halloween for this challenge as i never know what to do for halloween as its not really a holiday that i am familiar with.

 For my shaker card i decided to use Kai available HERE from Mo's store.  I wanted my leave to shake and fall so that was the decision for the shaker card this week

Just a closer picture so you can see that the leave inside the shaker have been shook and moved a bit.
the leaves on the top of my card were made using a Nellie Snellen punch and emboss i just love those punches, so easy to work with, and the pearls of course from the stash.
Hope you come to play at Mo's this week, an awesome challenge

 Our latest challenge on Mo's challenge blog is up and this week its "B" is for, mine is for Ballerina

 i just had to use this Marianne die, since its fairly new to my stash, highlighted the embossed areas with Picket fence distress marker.  My image of course is available from Mo's store HERE, such a cutie this one! colored with copics

 the charm was quite pricey, but i just had to have it for cards like this, depicting a ballerina.

 A little pearly flourish up the sides of my card, this dp is from Sandy Lion, it says opening night all over it and has ballet shoes and a beautiful ballet tutu, love this dp, gonna run short soon too so gotta look out for a replacement

And the have to do, little bunch of flowers

Do you enter challenges?

Since this is MY blog, i am gonna have my say.
You may notice that i dont enter many challenges with my cards, perhaps one or two here and there.
Reason:  i used to try and enter as many challenges in the hope of winning something, and yes a few times i have won.  Sad to say, i have NEVER recieved these prizes, so keep this in mind when you enter your challenges in the future.
It has just recently started to Piss me off!!!!
One thing you can be sure of though with Mo you always get your prize as its instant, You rock Mo.

Mo's dp 2 challenge blog dt

HELLOOOOOO!!!! dont suppose you noticed that i have been away from dt commitments for a looong time.  Well i am BACK!!! and rearing to go.  WE have a new challenge up on Mo's challenge blog i know my post is very late, as usual i have a myriad of excuses none of which i intend to use, lol.

So our newest challenge is "Anything goes"  i made fifteen of these mini cards for a swap that i have been involved with and thought i could use them for my inspiration for this challenge.

the little tag that i slipped in behind my image was computer generated


I wanted to use all of the fairies that i could find at Mo's store, i havent used them all of course but the ones i did use are available.

the paper i just love too it is from: Bo Bunny, just gotta love the color combo.
All images colored with copics, embellishments etc from the never ending stash.
Do join in our challenge this week i look forward to seeing what y"all make especially now that i am back, from the dead

and the little verse i used inside my card

TOMIC challenge #57

hi friends, we have a new challenge on TOMIC, this time around its "no character stamps + embossing and the sketch

i gotta say i quite enjoyed this challenge, as a challenge for me it was, i hardly ever make these kinda cards, but i knew i would need a wedding card soon, so thats what i made.

 no excuses here, but i gotta say that the gold coloring looks much better irl.

 i heat embossed the middle panel with gold embossing powder, something else that i havent done in ages, in fact i almost got rid of all the embossing powder and heat gun a little while ago

 the background i used a couple of the old cuttlebug embossing folders for

enjoy

stamp:  wedding rings from Magnolia, sentiment from whimsy
embossing folders: cuttlebug
Embellishments and additional drek, all from my stash
ins/ coloring: memento and copics, top boss for the hear embossing
