Charisma - White and one other

Yay, it's my turn to set the challenge this week at Charisma, and I've gone for White and one other colour! I just love the crisp fresh look that cards have with this theme.

We are sponsored by Robyns Fetish designs and I've used their Kitty Play digi for my project.

I've added colour to the image with Promarkers, and cut it out with scalloped circle nesties. The edges of the image are inked with Spun Sugar distress ink. I've embossed the white card with cuttlebug daisies embossing folder, and added a personal impressions stamped sentiment onto a tag made with a Martha Stewart punch. The corner is a Sizzix die and I've covered it with glitter, and the ribbon is from stash.

Thankyou for stopping by :)

This beer mug image I have used is from Digistamp Boutique and I've added colour to it with Promarkers. The foam is made from some fake snow 'stuff' (no better word for it..!) The letters were in an alphaber sticker pack for 29p from Home Bargains! The leather effect silver card was from an exhibition quite a while ago...not sure who by, possibly papermill or payperbox!

Thanks for visiting :)

Charisma #20 - Birthdays in Pink

At Charisma this week we've gone Pink, along with Birthday creations!
Our sponsor for this challenge is Robyns Fetish Digital Stamps!


I've used their cute digi stamp called 'A little birdie told me', coloured with Promarkers. The music is a stamp by LOTV which I've stamped with Victorian Velvet DI and inked around the edges with Spun Sugar. The card blank has been spritzed with chalkies paints through a template to create the background. The flowers are made using an x cut punch and black stickles for the flower centres. I've added Cotton Candy stickles around the music image, and to the flowers. The gems are from stash, and the sentiment was cut from a large sheet of bird themed birthday sayings.

Thanks for taking the time to visit me today :)

Charisma #19 - Under the Weather

My second post for today is to tell you about our new challenge theme this week over at Charisma Cardz, which is Under the Weather (Get Well Soon)

We have some lovely sponsors for you this week:

One lucky winner will receive 5 Digital Stamps of their choice

The lovely Heidi from Stampe shop is offering one lucky winner this week a $15 voucher.

For my DT project, I've used this sweet Stacked Teacups image from Pink Cat Studio.

The image has been coloured with Promarkers and cut out with Go Kreate Ovals and Scalloped Ovals. The edge of the image has been inked around with Spun Sugar DI. Ive used an MS border punch on the centre strip and lace which has been coloured with Promarkers. The papers are from papermania FF stack and Dovecraft Sweet owl stack. The sentiment is a stamp from Papermania and the flourish is a stamp from Inkadinkadoo. The three dots of pearls in the corners are Liquid pearls, which I've had for aged but never used, they give a great effect and I've added some to the spotty teacup on the image too :)

 Thanks for stopping by! :)

CHALLENGES:
On Thursday morning, I spent a great deal of time listing and entering challenges for this card. Unfortunately, blogger then went down and lost my post, so apologies if you have followed me from a DT blog to leave a comment and you can't see your challenge linked. I'm sure that plenty of other bloggers are in the same situation! I simply dont have the time to find out which challenges I entered and re-list and link them all again. If you need to delete me from your challenge entries for this week because I'm not linking to you, then please go ahead.
