OSAAT challenge# 26

Firstly appologies for my post not being live yesterday. I had pre posted it but not sure what i had done wrong ! Sorry to all my teamies for my post not being active xx It will probably turn up at some point LOL... Anyway i thought it was safer to just re post, so here we go..........

This week over at OSAAT. For challenge # 26 , its time to get out your punches and pack a punch

Here my take on this weeks challenge.

I decided to make another Christmas card this week.. With such a great image to colour i just had to. I really struggled to find a holly leaf punch the size that i needed for my idea. So i used a die from my Quickutz Squeeze. I layered the holly leaves up to make a flower, made a border at the top and bottom of my card just to add a christmassy feel. I used Glossy accents and stickles on my image and holly just to give it abit of dimention. The charm of the christmas tree was taken from y stash that i bought last year.. The backing paper was sent to me by a dear friend ( *waves at Rainmac*), it was a fabby prize from our groups swaps.



I got to use Stampin Dragon Designs , you can buy the image here 'Rupert & Penny around the Tree is such a great design for a Christmas card. I really enjoyed colouring this image and i will be using it to make all the special cards for my childrens best friends this Christmas.

Its a bugs life

Over at Incy Wincy the theme this week is, 'Its a bugs life'.
So heres my take on a bugs life. Its a rather large alota stamp that ive had in my stamp folder for over a year now. So a great challenge.... Its finally been inked up :O)

The stamp was coloured with my Promarkers and i used a variety of blue papers ( to represent water) I also added stickles and glossy accents to give it abit of a shine and shimmer that you would find with water.. Then out came the gems. ;o)

This card has been turned into a boys birthday card. Im not sure if the having a bath once a year on their birthday was an influence LOL

I would like to enter this card into Incy Wincys challenge #54

Card and gift for Jan in USA

My dear friend Jan,who lives in USA is having major surgery tomorrow, 10th August. I just wished i lived closer then i could go visit and support her.

Isnt it awful when such a dear friend needs you and theres nothing you can do ? :o( I felt so helpless when she told me her sad news. I just had to make her a card and a little token gift then she would know i was thinking of her.

Jan , if you read this.. Sending you lots of love and hugs...

I have been lucky enough to get a Guest Design Team role this week. I was given the fantastic Quirky Dizzy Lizzy to work with that was created by Hope Jacare Isnt she just adorable ? !!



My card was made up by backing pink cuttlebugged (Divine swirls to match the top of the cupcakes) backed with a darker green. Then gorgeous Quirky Dizzy Lizzy was coloured with my promarkers then i added stickles and glossy accents. The image was then backed with a nice bright pink. The flowers were taken from Primas 'animal bash', with stickles added on the edges and a nice bright pink card candy cherry on the top.

Ooooh anyone for cake ? Hope you stop by the blog and join the fun challenges.

Heres mine :

This was put together by taking a sheet of 12x12 Bazzil Basics. I added 3 coloured images that are the new Christmas ciollection by Lili of the Valley. I used my Promarkers ,stickles and glossy accents. I then used my cricut to cut the Merry Kidsmas ( afterall Christmas,for some is all about the magic for children). The Santa is coming to town stamp is by Magnolia...

A closer image of the gorgeous Nativity theme stamps. ( Such a reminder of childrens nativity plays )

I then wanted to make a card. So chose the new papers by Dovecraft called Cupcakes. The 3 images were cut from a sheet of 6x6 paper that had 9 images on. I thought it was a great way to make a quick yet quirky card.
