We have a girly challenge going on at Fab'n'Funky Challenges

Morning all

I have to confess that when I started out on this one it took me on a bit of a trip down 'crafting memory lane'  I think because it's quite a while since I've made anything in this style and I started to think about when I first started colouring and this was the style of  card I used to make.  It's actually quite a long way from my style now.  It's funny how things evolve over time and it's not until you look back that you realise how much things have changed!  That's not to say that I don't like the card I've made - just I'm definitely a much messier, grungier, shabbier crafter than I used to be - lol

But this image called 'Give a Heart' - available HERE

 is one provided by Whoopsie Daisy who is  our sponsor this week at 

Fab'n'Funky Challenges

and she is undoubtedly very cute!  

She wasn't going to be dark or grungy or even shabby chic 

- she needed to be pink and pretty

  and like our theme says 

Girly

This is what I did....

Anyway....

We have a new challenge over at 

Moving Along with the Times

our theme is

For a Man

This is a card I made for a good friend

it's not really that I forgot his birthday

just we always exchange cards by hand and it was after his birthday when it was given

and the inside

I used some stamps from Creative Expressions called Murray and Ethel

I've had them for years! - they're some of the first rubber stamps I ever bought

So much fun for cards for that certain age!!

Here's what I did .....

Images and sentiments - Murray and Ethel by Creative Expressions

Coloured with Spectrum Noir watercolour pencils

Tag dies - MFT

Hope you'll join in our fun challenge this week

Sadly - it's the last ever challenge at Wags'n Whiskers

Hi all

I'm here to share my last ever card for

Wags'n'Whiskers Challenge

Sadly the blog is closing after this challenge

 but to go out with a smile we have a lovely challenge for you

the theme is 

Wings

I used the cute Fairy Angelica 

I love the fairies at Wags'n Whiskers

 - just the right amount of cute but also girly and pretty

I coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Watercolour pencils and sparkle pens

I also used my (now very favourite!) new Pretty Petals flowers and leafy flourish dies from the floral delight range that accidentally fell into my basket when I went shopping at Crafter's Companion last week, I've liked them for a while but in real life they are gorgeous - the embossing makes the most beautifully shaped flowers

There's lots of sparkle on this card (just as a fairy should be!) using the Sparkle pens and also the green glitter card that I came across in my stash no idea where I got it and I definitely won't be buying it again - a nightmare to work with but looks very pretty!! 

This is what I did....

We're celebrating LoVe at Fab'n'Funky Challenges this week

Hi all

Sorry I'm a bit late with my post today we've got a few things going on with very poorly people in our family at the moment and it's been a bad couple of days - but better late than never

I'm here to share my DT card for 

Fab'n'Funky Challenges 

our theme this week chosen and hosted by our lovely Jan is

LOVE

I decided to make this into a Mothers Day card project - I'm a bit loved out with the recent Valentines makes so thought it would make a good compromise - and it still fits the theme with the papers I've chosen

This card was made using the image from a paper pack from TPS

Called Two shades of Romance available HERE

The papers are as the name suggests - only two shades - but I printed it in two sizes onto Crafter's Companion Watercolour card and coloured the lovely vintage floral design with my Spectrum Noir Watercolour pencils, and I have to say I was rather pleased with the result! - it was very easy to do as the images are so well drawn with shading anyway.

The DT were lucky enough to be able to work with images from our lovely sponsor this week

The Paper Shelter
