Winter Wonderland - add a sentiment challenge

Hi all

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Winter Wonderland

and we'd like you to 

Add a Sentiment

(make the sentiment to focus of your card)

I used one of the lovely stamps from Sheena Douglass 

called The first Noel from the A Little Bit Festive range

great for quick cards 

(and I'm in need of quick cards at the moment as craft time is pretty limited)

(sorry about the rubbish wonky photograph!)

This is what I did....

Inked with - TH distress inks - Tumbled glass, faded jeans, mustard seed and faded linen

Calling all cute little critters!

Good morning all

It's challenge time again at 

Moving Along with the Times

we are back up and running after a slow and easy summer

under new management and with some lovely new teamies too

Welcome to all of our New DT girls 

Our challenge this week is

Cute animals

(the cuter the better!)

I've used a cute stamp from Crafter's Companion Makey Bakey mice range

Coloured with Spectrum Noir pens and pencils

I was aiming for a simple vintage look - I think it worked out

It's a really simple card - easy to put together 

and the image is lovely to colour too - with lovely shading in the stamp

it practically colours itself!!

This is what I did..

....And here we are in September - seriously scary!!

The Paper Shelter

our theme for the week is 

Embossing 

(wet or dry)

I decided to use this cute image called

I decided to keep it really simple so my embossing is also fairly minimal - just the flowers and leaves and the embossed stitching around the square (which is now a diamond!!)

Spider Stevie at Digital Delights

Good morning all

Well what an exciting week I've had - and all in the name of craft!

Just got back yesterday from 2 days of fabulous crafting and team building with my lovely Crafters Companion team buddies and a wonderful party night to celebrate Crafters Companion's 10th birthday

It was lovely to meet everyone who had come from far and wide - can't quite remember when Tuesday and Wednesday were quite so much fun! - but it's back to earth with a bump now

- all good things come to an end : )

Anyway back to today!

Its the start of our new challenge at

Digital Delights

with the theme

Anything goes

I have a cute card to share that I've made for my Digital Delights DT card

using the cute Spider Stevie available here

When I decided to make use this image I had in mind a fab spider web stamp to make a background paper - but it appears to have vanished without a trace from my stamp drawer! - not to be put off I decided to use a hessian effect embossing folder that I inked up with  black ink before I embossed it - not quite a spider web but I quite like the effect with the red card - it actually looks better IRL.as the black ink adds great definition 

Here's what I did.... 

Image Spider Stevie from Digital Delights

Coloured with spectrum noir pens and  just one spectrum noir pencil to add depth and shadow

Pen colours clothes -DR1,2,4  TB3,4,5   Skin - FS3,7,TN3

We did a Segway tour up in lovely Mount Dora today - a bit scary when we first started but we all absolutely loved it- give it a try if you ever get the chance - it's an amazing experience.

Anyway onto today's card - my DT card for Wags'n'Whiskers
