I scream for ice cream

This is for All that scraps challenge: let's piece those papers.

The background paper is an offcut of Basic Grey and the striped paper is another offcut (DCWV). I've paper pieced the clothes and the ice cream on the Meoples I want candy digital images from All That Scraps, with additional copic colouring.

I've followed the sketch for My time made easy 67:

The photo is awful because of having to use flash this evening - the die cut bow is a deep bright pink mirror card which just doesn't show up here at all.

This was also inspired by Card caravan (the hybrid chick) 23 photo:

Adding a photo I've just taken outside - it shows the bow better:

Mystical mermaid

I printed the mermaid (a clipart picture that I found on Microsoft Publisher) on to an offcut of patterned paper (think it was Craft Creations, but not sure - has been lurking among the offcuts for some time), added a panel of sea made with a mix of Lumainarte radiant rain colour concentrates (a piece left over from when I used it for this card yesterday). I then added some very sparkly ribbon top and bottom and the card was done.

As an offcut was used to print the image, this is another for Pixie's crafty snippets 31 and also Squiggle stamps 'stash attack'.

Acrylic block background

I've seen a few examples lately of making a background by inking up an acrylic block, so I thought I'd try this, using broken china and story sky distress inks. This is for Paperminutes 228: acrylic block stamped background, also for Wags n whiskers 84: try a new technique.

I then stamped the Penny Black sparklers using stormy sky ink.

I've used the sketch given for Sweet sketch Wednesday 164:

and colours were inspired by the picture given for Freshly brewed 106:

I've used papers from my patterned papers scrap box, so this is another opportunity to play at  Pixie's crafty snippets 31  (although, with this rain, I don't fancy sitting on the swings) and also Squiggle stamps 'stash attack'.

Something beautiful remains

The tide recedes but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand,

The sun goes down but gentle warmth still lingers on the land.

The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains ...

for every joy that passes, something beautiful remains.

                                                                                  Anon

This is the saying that is stamped on this card - the stamp was bought a long while ago from Rubadubbadoo.

The beach and breakwater were cut from a remnant left from a 12 x 12 paper that I used long ago (can't remember the manufacturer, but I think it was called 'British beach' - I often wondered why I kept this in my offcuts box because I didn't think I'd ever use it. So this was yet another offcut used up, another for Pixie's crafty snippets 31 and also for Squiggle stamps 'stash attack' - not only did I just up an offcut, but also used stamps that hadn't been used for ages.

The little group of birds and the anchor are part of a Kanban set.

The other day I bought some Luminarte Radiant Rain colour concentrates and used Mediterranean, rich cobalt and mallard to make the sea - dabbing these on to a glossy piece of card and heating with my heat gun so that they blended in together a bit. I don't think it's brilliant, but it was my first attempt at using these daubers.

Green sparklers

'Sparklers' is the name of the Penny Black stamp I've used for this card - it's one of my favourites that gets used a lot.

The card is based on the sketch for A & T sketch challenge 9:

And colours are for My time made easy pretty palette 67:

Yet another angel

Having made a mess of a card earlier this afternoon - I got sticky bits on the acetate (not a good look!), so it went into the bin - I decided that perhaps I could rescue some of it. So I careful took the acetate off and used the glittered picture from underneath to layer up with an offcut of the Kanban card used for one of the earlier cards shown below. I stuck it down before I thought about the holes left from where there had been brads, so they are now covered with some gems and I've added a sentiment raised up with some 3D foam.

Another Christmas angel

This is another card very similar to the previous one, made from components of the 'all wrapped up' Kanban Christmas kit.

Once again, the printed acetate overlays the glittered picture and is held in place by brads.

This is another card for Dawn's Christmas Card Club challenge to include an angel.

Christmas angel

It was Dawn's turn to choose a theme for today's Christmas Card Club challenge (a group of us have got together to produce a Christmas card every fortnight - details of the group in my sidebar) and Dawn asked us to include an angel on our Christmas card.

I've made a couple of angel cards in the last few days (was tempted to use one of those for the challenge, but thought I would be good and do another specially for it) - I've made a step card from the Kanban 'all wrapped up' kit that I bought fairly recently.

Unfortunately, the first card I made went into the bin, otherwise there would be been two - this is the second such card I've wasted in a couple of days because of trying to rush and then getting sticky marks on the acetate.

Anyway, this card has an acetate layer that has been printed with the same picture as the underneath one - that one is glittered so the glitter then shows through the acetate. It's not possible to capture this properly in the photo, but I've done the best I can.

Warmest wishes

For this card (which I made yesterday - not started making any today!) I've used a digital image from Cute Daisy May's Daisy and friends CD - this is Daisy with her Christmas tree. The background paper is an offcut of Basic Grey Dasher flannel shirt, and the bottom piece is an offcut of some unknown card that was left over. The ribbon was free with a magazine and the sentiment was computer generated and printed.

This is another card for my CHNC challenge 83: tie a ribbon.

A peaceful Christmas

For this card I've used a snowflake background and angels image both from the MCS Magic of Christmas CD. I printed out the angels image twice so that I could decoupage it and also printed the background again so I could print and cut the sentiment. The snowflake was cut with a woodware punch.

CHNC challenge 83: tie a ribbon

It's Saturday, so that means it's time for a new challenge on my CHNC blog. And today for challenge 83 I'm asking you to use ribbon on your Christmas card.

For my card I've used some background DCWV card that I've had for a few years and never used before - this is flittered and glittered, as are the chipboard stickers from Poundland a few years ago and the ribbon is from stash, as are the flowers.

I used the colours for Festive Friday 29:

Angel and dove

Today hasn't been an easy one, so I felt I needed to wind down this evening and make a card. The first one I made (or perhaps I should say 'didn't succeed in making') went into the recycling paper - it went from disaster to disaster. I was going to give up, but thought I'd try again, so I've made this stepper card from the Kanban 'all wrapped up for Christmas' kit. I used scrap pieces from a previous card to adhere to the sides and across the bottom of the pale blue base card - for Pixie's crafty snippets 30 and Let's craft and create 50: scrap buster

 The picture is a beautiful acetate picture over a glittered one on card - I secured with little brads at the corners. Because of the reflection of the flash I had to take side views of the card, but did manage to get part of the picture showing the glitter in the third photo. In real life, the acetate puts a nice sheen on the card.

Thanks.

Let it snow

Not really the sentiment I want to hear right now ... at last summer has come and we have wall-to-wall sunshine at last!

However, I love making Christmas cards, so this is one using only offcuts of white card and an acetate panel (on the right) rescued from some packaging last Christmas held in place with some little brads, so a bit of recycling. The embossed snowflakes were made with a Papermania folder and both sentiments with a cuttlebug one.

This is for last weeks facebook Sunday's with Santa 'shades of white'.

As usual, it was very difficult to get a photo of white on white:

From our house to yours

I think that's the sentiment that should be on this card that depicts houses in the snow. The silver baubles backing is a couple of offcuts, the main picture with frame surround is an old Kanban one and the glittery stars and wired beads are from stash.

I've used the sketch for Critter 124, turning it sideways:
