Crafty day!



Today it's been pouring with rain so after and unplanned lie- in I thought I'd do a couple of challenges.

My first card is this,

So this one is for a few challenges, I love promarkers, Lollipop craft
I love promarkers challenge was a sketch which I tried to extend for a rectangular card and have my take on it. The image is coloured using promarkers; rose pink, duck egg, warm grey 1, pink carnation, ice grey 1, ice grey 2 and slate.
Lollipop Crafts challenge was monochrome, so I stuck to the nice and simple black and white rather than trying to match lighter shades of a standard colour.
Finally cute card thursday challenge was to keep it clean and simple. I think the fact that I have only used black and white along with this sketch keeps it simple and rather plain, but at the same time I love it.


The next card I did was this one.

I loooove this little stamp he's so cute! But yeah, I want to enter this into the Bunny Zoe's Craft challenge and the Cupcake craft Challenge.
Bunny Zoe's Craft challenge was an easel card challenge. This is my first ever easel card and I'm quite pleased with it to be honest. After seeing my sister make several last week, I reckoned they couldn't be that difficult haha. A nice image, a flower, a sentiment and a couple of brad buttons is all I used.
I also put a little stitching around my reindeer image just to finish it off and so want to enter it into Cupcake craft challenge which was stitching.

Hope you like my couple of creations.

The Owl and the Duck.


So this little chappy I want to enter into a couple of challenges. The first is for the sketch i used, Pollycraft Monday Challenges. I like this sketch (if I've done it right ha) and think I'll use it again, as it's quite good when the image is rather large. I hope I get away with the sentiment being on the ribbon??
The next challenge I want to use it for is I Love Promarkers Challenge which was anything with wings, owl, wings...pretty obvious ha. The colours I used were Caramel, Cinnamon, Forest Green, Poppy, Gold, Vanilla and Ice Grey 1. The stamp is by Kanban and I love it. It's so cute!
The final challenge I want to enter this into is Christmas Crafting, a new challenge in the world of blogging. If you get a chance go over and have a little look at it :). The challenge this month was Cute, and well as I said before, this little fella is too cute I had to use him for this challenge!

The next card I made is this.....



I actually love this duck. As I'm at uni, I know quite a few people who are graduating so I made this for one of them. Very simple just on a metallic card, with a few mat and lays and then the wonderful image of the duck at graduation. I then used some of my sisters card candy (I'm not sure about it but she's trying to convert me haha) to finish it off. This card I want to enter into the Lollipop Crafts challenge which was Celebration.

Been trying out flippin women cards today so when I finish them I'll have a show of them on here haha.

Happy Crafting
