Charisma #26 - Your favourite Ice Cream Flavours!

Another Thursday means time for another challenge at Charisma Cardz!

This week we are celebrating summer with your Favourite Ice Cream Flavours!

Mine are Vanilla and Strawberry, so I've made a very pink and creamy card!

Our lovely sponsora this week are...

Your Choice of SIX single Digi's from Digistamp Boutique!

AND....

The lovely Heidi from Stamp Shoppe is offering one lucky winner this week a $15 voucher to spend at her shop!!!

Now onto my project! I've used a fun cupcake image by Digistamp Boutique and coloured with Promarkers. I've cut it out with nesties labels one and inked the edges with scattered straw distress ink. The paper is from my new stack called Sugar and Spice by Dovecraft, really different papers than they usually come up with!

The sentiment is a stamp by Fiskars and I've stamped it onto a tag cut with Nesties fancy tags. The leaves are made with a MS punch and the ribbon and flowers are from stash. I've added dots of stickle here and there for a bit of sparkle, of course ;)

Thankyou for looking! Dont forget to check out the rest of the talented DTs work over at the main challenge blog!

SFTW #10 - Lemon & Lime

Today at Stampin for the Weekend we are challenging you to a Colour combo - Lemon and Lime - sponsored by Simon Says Stamp.

I've stamped a really sweet Tatty Ted image and coloured with Promarkers. I've used Go Kreate Ovals and Scalloped ovals to cut him out. The Paper is from DCWV Citrus stack and I've used a wavy EK Success punch around all the edges of it. The yellow glitter card is embossed with a cuttlebug folder. The flowers are from Crafty Bitz. The leaves are made with an MS punch, and the ribbon and adhesive pearls are from stash.

Thanks for visiting!

AUD Sentiments #30 - Summer Fun

Hi all! My third (and final!!) post of the day is for the new challenge at AUD sentiments - Summer Fun. We want to see your summery projects!

We are sponsored by Revi Devi this week, and I've used their Gardening set to create this digi-scene, coloured with Promarkers. The paper is from the Tatty Ted paper pack and the sentiment is handwritten. The flowers and dewdrops are from stash, and the leaves are made with a MS punch.

Thankyou for stopping by!

CRAFT #106 - Father's Day

At CRAFT our theme for our new challenge is Father's Day, sponsored by the lovely folks over at Some Odd Girl.

I've used a digital image which was a freebie from Meljens and I thought it would make a great image for a Father's day card. I've coloured with promarkers and cut with Nesties labels 2, and inked around the edges of the image with Pumice Stone distress ink. The sentiment is a stamp by Dovecraft and the card candy is from Craftwork cards, coloured with Promarkers as well. The paper is a scrap from stash.

Charisma #23 - How Old?

Yes, thats right, the Charisma Galz want to see NUMBERS on your creations this week!

I've used this Fabulous freebie from Broken Box Stock, coloured with Promarkers. The paper is from a Forever friends stack and I've used my sewing machine with a zigzag stitch to edge the papers. I dont know quite what happened to my machine to get the weird looking stitch around the very edge, as I still had it on the zigzag setting...I think it looks quite good actually, a bit like a vine - but bet I couldnt do it again if I tried!!
The 40 is made with a stamp and I've gone over it entirely with black diamond stickles, a new love of mine!! The ribbon is from stash and I've also blinged up her jewellery :)

Thanks for stopping by :)
