ANYTHING GOES AT OSCC


Good morning and here we are again for another super challenge and " Anything Goes" at one stop craft challenge. Our wonderful sponsor this week is doctor-digi house of stamps and I got to play with the digi image called "Dunderton Academicals FC" which did make me smile and had no problem on picking the sentiment to go with this which is fron Fiskars clear stamps "Make a Wish Quotes".
 
 
With the image and sentiment in place  I did not want to add too much more with regards to embellishments and being for a gentleman of a certain age thought I would keep it clean looking.

 
If you have time do pop along and visit our sponsor who has a collection of weird  and wonderful odd balls and fantastically freaky weirdos.
 
Take care friends until the next time

SPRING

 
Spring is in the air well at least I hope that it is not too far away as we got a taste of spring here at the beginning of the week and it was so nice to get back out into the garden.
And so onto challenge 219 over at one stop craft challenge and guess what the theme is this week SPRING so lots of spring colours and themes.
Our wonderful sponsor this week is
which are cute, quirky and fun illustrations used for card making and paper crafts created by illustrator Heidi Schwoerer and for my card I used Little Turtle.It is not a typical spring image but could not resist this charming little turtle.

The card layers were cut using Spellbinders" Scalloped Edge Frame" and "Grand Rectangles" and for the foam and felt flowers "Bitty Blossoms". Kepping the sentiment simple "Hello" meant that I could use this card for several different occasions.
Hope you get the chance to pop along to our challenge where the winner will receive 3 digital stamps from our sponsor.

MOTHER'S DAY


Welcome and it is time for another challenge over at one stop craft challenge and this week it is Mother's Day and our generous sponsor is Fred-she-Said Designs who are offering a $15 Gift Voucher for the winner.
 
For my card I used the "Stained Glass Floral Doodledallion"digi set wich I coloured with Promarkers then added glitter to some of the areas in the design.The finished design was mounted onto silver miri board and used Spellbinders Marvelous Squares to cut this out which I think gives a lovely background to this design.

 
The setiment is from Waltzing Mouse Stamps "Compact Family"stamped in black and then glittered.To finish off a small flower using fun foam and Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms.
 
Take care friends and enjoy the rest of your weekend

A LITTLE BIRD

Hello everyone and today I would like to share with you a clean and simple card for the challenge over at
which is black and white  and one other colour which was orange for me.
 
 
This was a quick card to put together once I had decided which stamps I was going to use which are Recollections Bird Set and PaperArtsy Flora and Fauna 6.
 
To add some colour I used Sakura Glaze pen in orange and a Gelly Roll pen also in orange and then to finish off a couple of jewels for the  dots of the i's.
It is refreshing to do a clean and simple card now and again just using one or two products to give a lovely card.
Take care friends

HEY HOW ARE YOU

Hello and here we are again with another one stop craft challenge and this week we have a sketch for our inspiration.Our sponsor is Kenny  K Downloads as well as some candy kindly donated by fellow design team member Andreja.
I could not resist this cute kitty digi stamp as I know there are many of you out there who just love your cats.I have kept the card pretty simple using the sketch for the background elements.

The sentiment means this card could be for a get well card or just saying hello and getting in touch with a long lost friend.
 
Once again I have used my Promarkers for colouring the image and then added a few flower embellishments around the edge of the image.
I do hope you can join us for this week's challenge and look forward to seeing your creations.

Until the next time take care
