OSAAT challenge 47 photo inspiration or Good Luck

Its Sunday again :O) So that means its time for another challenge over at One Stitch At A Time

This week its a Photo inspiration challenge or Good Luck..To tie in with the free colab stamps ( available when you spend $10 at One Stitch At A Time store )



The sponsor this week is the great online store ' Make it crafty'
Who have digi stamps, rubber along with everything else that you could need to create.
They supplied us some of their fantastic digi images so we could create.
Heres my first card using the image from make it crafty and the photo inspiration from above.

I coloured two identical images using my Promarkers and then cut out flowers, covered them in glossy accents then layered them to give abit of depth to my card.

For my second card today. Ive used a fantastic image by April of Reeces' Scrap Pieces . Its called passed out LOL. I love it and think it would be a great image for maybe teenagers 18-19 ;O) or landmark birthdays for men.

This card isnt quite as i wanted it to be :O( Whilst i was creating it my cuttlebug went ping and broke :O( . So i couldnt finish of the original Good Luck sign that i had started. So appologies to April as i am not 100 % happy with it.

Ive still not ordered a big shot or cuttlebug as i havent decided which to get. Theres so much choice.... a big shot.... electric big shot ... Green v1 bug.. V2 bug.... a pink bug ? Oh my !!
One thing i do know is... i really miss my bug.. I am shocked how much i want to use it now i cant LOL

Right well i hope you have enjoyed stopping by today. Dont forget to stop by my teamies blogs too and leave them some love.... I cant wait to stop by your blogs and see all your creations this week...

This week at One Stitch At A Time.

Its 'Anything Goes' but you must use a Digi.
Dont forget to stop by the challenge blog and see all the fabby work by the DT.

The challenge this week is sponsored by



3 digis to 1st place, 2 digis to 2nd place and 1 digi to third place





This week also sees the start of the 'CHRISTMAS CLUB'

The idea of the Christmas Club is that everyone who participates in each of the 12 monthly games. Gets the chance to win Decembers collab. But you must do ALL 12 ;O)
Just think though at least you will have 12 cards made towards your Christmas Cards ;O) So less of a panic with forgotten cards.



Heres my Christmas Club card using a fantastic image called 'The Snow Suit' by Stitchy. The image can be bought here .

With this card i wanted to show that the Christmas images could occasionally be adapted to make them useable all through the year


On the 2nd image i have added a sentiments and a few gems.

MSE CT1972. Flowers

Heres my entry to CT1972s' 'flowers' challenge over at MSE .



I do love the new Lili of the Valley stamps. As soon as i saw the sneak peak at this one. I knew it had to come and live at my house. I expect she will be making quite a few appearances on my cards when i want to get inky ;O)

The image is coloured with Promarkers and has stickles and glossy accents added. The pins and flowers were from Wild Orchid Crafts and have also been coloured with my Promarkers in the same colours as the image. I used my Martha Stewart corner punch t add abit of interest on the corners of the DP. I attatched the image to the DP using foam squares so that it lifted the image and left room for the stems and pins ;O)

Creative Craft World card challenge # 2

At Creative Craft World for the second card challenge. Its Sarah A's turn to set the challenge theme. She chose cute and cuddly.

Our 2nd challenge is sponsored by Whimsie Doodles who stock digi stamps.Also they have cutting files. So something for everyone :O)

Our DT was sent the Valen-tinies set to play with. I must say that we were spoilt for choice.

On my 1st card i used 2 of the images. Kisses and smooches (cute) I coloured the images with my Promarkers then used my Nesties to cut out the circles and scalloped circles in red. Then put them onto a metalic red card blank. I used clear mosaic tiles to make the + and then added 2mm gems to the corners.

.

For my second card i used 'Wool you be mine ?' (Cuddly) . Again the image was coloured with promarkers and i used the same design nesties but bigger ones. I distressed around the sentiment to give a wooly effect ;O) The image then was placed onto a DP and then onto a green metalic card blank.

To enter the challenge this fortnight get all cute and cuddly...

I cant wait to stop by your blogs again this week.. There was an absolutely fantastic response to our first card challenge last week. So a GREAT BIG thankyou from me for supporting my theme.

Usual card challenge rules apply , please see bottom of CCW challenge blog for the rules.

For that special stud

Over at Stampin with the Dragon their challenge this fortnight is to create a card or project suitable for that special stud in your life..

Heres my entry to the challenge:

Its Edwin with a bottle of Champagne and 2 glasses ( Well every gal knows, that occasionally even special studs need a little prompt ;O) LOL) Looks like he has his best clothes on too :O)

Edwin is coloured with Promarkers and has stickles added to his wings and glossy accents to the bottle and glasses to give the 'glass' effect. The swirls are cut using a sizzix die and the ribbon is actually co ordinating paper.

I would also like to add my card to the following challenges.
