Tilda & Friends ATC Challenges

A nice easy one for you this week it's

Buttons

On to this week's theme, an easy peasy one for you all as the holidays have
started and we are all pushed for time - Buttons. I'm sure we all have a button
box or jar so this week is your chance to use up one or two, or more, of those
buttons. A quick reminder that you can join in the fun as long as there is at
least one Magnolia image on your ATC, and an ATC measures 2.5" x 3.5".

For my ATC I've used one of the Tildas in the Summer kit and coloured her in my usual way. All the buttons are chipboard buttons.

Stamp:- Magnolia
Paper:- Wild Saffron
Buttons:-K & Co




Why not have a go yourself and use up all those scraps of paper. This week because of the Summer school holidays children can join in too and there is a special prize for one under 16 year old. So now you can craft together. :0)

Papertake Weekly Challenge

I had time this week to do the Papertake Weekly Challenge, who could resist when there was another lovely sketch from Katharina to follow?


Katharina's sketch.










And here is my card, I kept it simple because I love the papers that I've used and wanted to show them to the full potential. They are from Stampin Up.
The image is a another stamp from the designer Elisabeth Bell and is called "Penpal". You can buy the designs from Funky Kits.

Stamp:- Sweet Ebony - Penpal
Papers:- Stampin Up - Petals and Paisleys
Sentiment:- Stampin Up Curvy Verses

A Spoon Full Of Sugar

For Challenge #9 on the A Spoon Full Of Sugar blog there is a fabby sketch drawn by Katharina.


Here's Katharina's sketch.










And here is my card following the sketch. I love following sketches and this one was really nice to do. I've used an Elisabeth Bell designed stamp called "sitting with bear" and coloured her in with prismas and zest it. I know I'm always using prismas but at the moment it is the best thing that I can get on with and when funds allow I'll be buying some promarkers to try. The papers are from yet another Sarah's cardmaking kit. The little sentiment is from a Scrapagogo kit.

Stamps:-Sweet Ebony "sitting with bear"
Papers:- MOD
Sentiment:- Scrapagogo stamp


There are some gorgeous DT cards again this week so why not pop over and have a look and join in with the challenge? There is a great prize for one lucky winner this week of a Rachelle Anne Miller stamp. All the details are here

You're the best!

I managed two cards today as the weather is sooo bad. One I can show the other is for the A Spoon Full Of Sugar challenge tomorrow. So here is the one I can show ;0)

I used a past Sarah's cardmaking kit for this one. The main image is an Alota stamp called Mary & Chris. I've coloured it in with prismas and zest it and added some diamond stickles and glossy accents. Although you can't really see them in the pic, they are there. The little flower above the ribbon is a rub on from Cherry Arte. I had to use the edge of an old Fiskars cutting template to get the scalloped effect.
I'm loving these Alota stamps, they are so nice to colour in and I have another order coming soon, so watch this space. I'm determined to get everyone to order them so you'll be addicted too!!
Stamp:- Alota - Mary & Chris
Papers:- Cherry Arte
