Gorjuss Little Foxes and I create a Birthday Card

Hi guys! So sorry for being a terrible blogger over the last week, I've not had ANY mojo at all, and haven't managed to get into the craft room because of it.... But, tonight after dinner, I sat down and created!

I started off stamping this Gorjuss Girl onto watercolour paper, and coloured her in with coloured pencils (plain Derwent pencils) and then with cotton buds and some Mineral Turpentine, I blended the colours. Here's a closeup -

Now, onto the rest of the card, it is a So Saffron card base, layered with Basic Gray, and Basic Black and another piece of So Saffron, cut with the Top Note Die. I layered some Twill ribbon on top (from the Ribbon Carousel) and then a piece of Whisper White with the sentiment (from Sale-a-bration set Elementary Elegance) in Basic Gray. The two buttons, are self cover buttons covered with gray felt and attached with my hot glue gun. 

I am entering this into three challenges, I took inspiration from The Play Date Cafe Colour challenge, also the layout inspiration is from CASE study challenge, and finally, the Felt challenge from the Ribbon Carousel Challenge.

Thanks for popping by, don't forget there is a 15% off sale on at my MadeIt Store, and Blog Candy up for grabs. Thanks for popping by, I'll hopefully get my mojo back soon!

Gorjuss - Rose stamp, Stampin' Up! Elementary Elegance and I create a soft, elegant birthday card

Hi guys! I'm back with a card I made before an early night last night.

This is a Crumbcake card base layered with Pink Pirouette and a piece of October Afternoon patterned paper. On top of this is a piece of Whisper White and Crumbcake, punched with the eyelet border punch and some very pretty Vintage Seam Binding Ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel, and a sentiment from the Sale-a-bration set Elementary Elegance. The main image is a new one I received this week in the mail, it is a Gorjuss stamp called Rose, and I coloured her with my Stampin' Write Markers and paper pieced her dress. I finished this card with a few pearls. I'm really happy with how this card turned out :)

I am entering this into three challenges, the first one is the colour challenge from The Play Date Cafe, I also used the Card Patterns sketch from last week, but missed the deadline... So, instead, I'm entering this over at the Ribbon Carousel and Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes.

The Greeting Farm and Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration Elementary Elegance and I create a Birthday Card

Hi guys! I have a card to show quickly before I head to bed.

I started out by stamping this little chicky on watercolour paper, and colouring her with my Stampin' Write Markers and a blender pen (anyone surprised?) Then I cut her out carefully and popped her on a Spellbinders Nestability, which I'd stamped with Perfect Plum and Elementary Elegance for the sentiment. Then using the colours of the watercoloured image, I built my card. I used a Perfect Plum card base, with some Daffodil Delight Designer Series Paper, and card stock. I wrapped some Rose Red Seam Binding ribbon around, and tied a bow. The green patterned paper is from Kaisercraft. I rounded the corners of the card, and figured this one was done :)

I am entering this into the iSpySketches Sketch 1 Challenge. I was introduced to this wonderful new challenge blog by one of my craft idols Danielle Daws as she is on their Design Team. I really liked the sketch, but being me, I turned it on it's side and changed it to a regular card size.
