The challenge at My Time to Craft this week is New Baby, I made my card using one of the gorgeous Lili of the Valley stamps which I bought a couple of months ago and still have not used, I coloured with Copics and edged with a new Distress Ink pad - Spun Sugar. The papers are from Papermania and a free magazine one, I added ribbon, Bo Bunny flower with a pearl centre, buttons and a computer generated sentiment with brad.
My last week as GD on There's Magic in the Air with Paper Cupcakes where this week the challenge is "Let's Make a Basket". The image used is Eggs-traordinary Find by Nina May at Paper Cupcakes which I coloured with Copics. I used the Martha Stewart Garden Trellis punch around the top edge of the basket and also made the handle using this. The image is on the front and back of the basket with Prima flowers and buttons at the ends, I added a ribbon all round and some pink pearls and bows at the corners, finished by filled with chocolate eggs. I have already bought my six granddaughters their Easter eggs so I will give this Easter basket to my daughter. I am also entering this project for the following challenges:
As it it Palm Sunday today the colour combo at The Crafty Pad is Yellow, Green and Orange. I decided for a change from a card to make this Easter plant holder gift box and I put a yellow Primula inside. The butterfly is by Debbie at The Crafty Pad and comes in digi images and clear stamp sets, I coloured the butterfly with Copics, sprayed with gold spray and layered and added some wire for the antenna, the large layers are on the front and the small one on the back. I added flowers with brads from my stash on the two sides and branches cut with a L-em punch, the papers were from my stash and I used Martha Stewart's lattice arch punch around the top and finished with a ribbon. Check out The Crafty Pad for some lovely new stamps. I am also entering this for the following challenges:
A card for the challenge at Bah Humbug which this week is Vintage. The stamp I used is from Craft UK, I haven't used it before as there seemed to be too much to colour so I stamped it in Distress Ink Vintage Photo and used a water brush to brush out some of the colour and added just a touch of water colour to it. The papers are K & Co and I added a ribbon and sentiment.
The challenge this week at My Time to Craft is Make it Manly, I made this card last week for my husband's birthday and have used it as my DT card. The beautiful squirrel digi image is by Ann at Craftyann's I added just a touch of colour to it and layered it onto circles cut with Nesties. The papers are s.e.i and Making Memories, I punched the Maple leaves and put them randomly on the card, I finished with a computer generated sentiment.
