Paper Playtime GDT card

I am lucky enough to be a Guest Designer at Paper Playtime this week on behalf of Robyns Fetish digis!

Their challenge is Anything Goes, and I got to play with this really sweet image called Goodnight Teddy by Robyns Fetish. I've coloured with Promarkers, and have used papers by Papermania. I've embossed the card blank directly with cuttlebug daisies folder and added ribbon from May Arts to the bottom panel. The dew drops are from Sarahs cards.

Thanks for looking!

Our sponsors are:

$10 Voucher to use at Tellens place Etsy Store

5 digis of choice from The Stamping Boutique!

For my project this week, I've used one of my favourite techniques - resist embossing. I've used a scripture stamp inked with Versamark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I inked over the whole piece with Dusty Concord and Victorian Velvet distress inks. The dandelion clocks are by Lavinia stamps and I have used black Stazon to stamp these at the edges. The DP is from the Papermania Henbury Lane paper pack. My new MS border punch gets another outing here and I've finished off with some black flat back gems and a greeting from Personal Impressions.

My first post today is to tell you about the new challenge starting today over at C.R.A.F.T challenge! This week we want to see your cards made with Moving Components!

We are being sponsored by the fab Claire aka Hope Jacare


I've used her lovely 'Snowdrop Heart' image to make this Valentines card with a Penny Slider heart. It's the first time I've tried this and it was so easy to make, I had lots of childish fun when it was finished tilting it each way to watch it roll along ;) lol. I've coloured as usual with Promarkers and used papers from Forever Friends. I've used MS Doily lace border punch and scalloped circle nestie. The heart I've used on the slider is from a Papermania elements pack. The sentiment is also by Papermania. To add a bit of sparkle I've used stickles on the snowdrops and on the heart border.

OSAAT #44 Love and Valentines post 2

I've been very busy on behalf of One Stitch at a Time this week, making 2 cards with beautiful images from Beary Dust and Robyns Fetish.

Our theme for the first challenge of 2011 is Love and Valentines! There are some gorgeous new love themed images in the Shop from the Digi Artists so we'd love for you to take a peek! We are lucky enough to have Digis with Attitude on board as our Sponsor for this challenge!

Another gorgeous image, this time from Robyns Fetish, also coloured with Promarkers. I've used my new Papermania Birdsong paper pack (aptly named I think!) and a scrap of Basic Grey I found in my drawer for the punched panel, I think its from their Euphoria pack but I could be wrong! I've punched this with a MS Punch and added swirls made using a sizzix die. The flower is made with an Xcut punch, and the sentiment is by Stitchy Stamps. I like the neutral pastel colours on these cards!
