JIC Team B Challenge - Fathers day

Good Morning Blogland

It's my team's turn for the challenge at Just Inspirational Challenges this week, but before I get onto this weeks challenge I want to remind you all to check out the blog post here for the winners of our blog hop.

OK so for this weeks challenge we are sponsored by the fabulous

This is the inspirational piccy we worked with this week

and this is my make



This is for my hubby for Fathers Day from our two furbabies.

I coloured the image with pro markers, the papers are from my stash & my scrap box, the tiny alphas are My Little Shoebox and the foam letters I got from £land.

I hope you will join my teamies and I in this challenge, visit their blogs for more inspiration.

That's all for now

My 1st Time .....

..... using Spectrum Noirs :)

AND I have to say I am very impressed. After I found out they didn't really like my normal stamping card and preferred diamond white we got on great, no bleeding, nice blending, and colours nicely. I don't have the full set yet, but am working on hubby getting me some for my birthday, so I went with what I had.

I originally ordered the set of stamps this stamp is in from Kanban in their closing down sale but they sent another set instead so I wasn't very happy, but found them at Hobbycraft last week for £5.00 :D very happy me.

I stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa, and coloured with Spectrum Noirs. The papers are all bits from my scrap box, I don't throw much away when it comes to papers, and I chalked the edges as well as chalking the edges of the white card blank. I used an old wooden button from my stash and some thin burgundy twine. The paper the sentiment is on I distressed using my Tim Holtz distress tool and chalked the edges. I added copper Liquid Pearls to the back of the corset and small dots in some corners.

I must say I really enjoyed making this, even though its not my normal style with flowers and pretty things, I like the colours and the way it turned out.

Two Babba Boys!!

OK OK

Now I know it's been months & months since I've actually posted anything I've made on my blog (I am so sorry little blog for abandoning you but I am back now & I promise to be a better blogger) so here is the card I made for my cousin & her family on the arrival of their twin boys. OMG I have never seen such cute & tiny wee bubbas as those little boys, Brodie & Brentley, but before I get carried away gushing over them here is my card.

Isn't that image just so damn cute, you can find it here along with 2 single pea babies.

I coloured the image with pro markers and edged with chalks, the papers are from my stash, the dragonfly die-cuts I chalked as well as the edges of the flourish round the sentiment date stamp, which if I remember rightly is from Pink Gem. I finished off with some tiny flat back pearls.

I hope you like my make and I promise to share more with you from now on.

Thanks for visiting

Cool Colours

Hi Bloggers

Sorry it's a bit late but the new challenge at Charisma Cardz is

KEEP YOUR COOL

so cards made only using colours from the cool side of the colour spectrum. the fab sponsors this week are

and

Her's my card, not much I'm afraid as we had a death in the family, so seeing as I wasn't feeling very creative bit needed to make a card I thought it would be OK if I combined both things and made my DT card the condolence card too.

This is the first time I've used chalks on a card and I liked the results  I used them with one of my pro marker blender pens and was surprised how easy it was.

Anyway hope you will join the challenge this week.

Happy Crafting
