Cute Card Thursday Challege

This week's Cute Card Thursday Challenge is

Spring Fever

I took a different look at the theme and used some tiny springs underneath the toads. :0)

I've used a stamp and die set from Time For Tea Designs called "Toadally Awesome". It's available from Create & Craft and can also be bought individually. 

 I've used Spectrum Noir Triblends for the toads and colouring the vellum. The lillies and leaves have been embossed with fine white WOW embossing powder.

The little dragofly's wings have WOW clear sparkle embossing powder on them too.

The little springs are tiny little ones that easily fit onto a stamped image and already have adhesive on both of the surfaces.

This week we are sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps and one lucky winner will receive a $6 voucher for the store.

Good luck

Thursday again and it's the Cute Card Thursday Challenge time again. 

I can't believe it but..... it's our 11th birthday this week!!! Wow time certainly flies.

This week's theme is

"Celebrate"

Here's my card

On Crafters Companion Neenah cardstock I have made the background using stamps by Creative Expressions and Stampin Up in a grey and red ink. For the silver circles I have used a WOW embossing powder. 

The "Celebrate" is a SU stamp which I've coloured using a red copic pen and the little confetti bits have been embossed with the WOW powder.

I've layered up the sentiment and main images in first red then grey cardstock to make it "pop".

This week's challenge for Cute Card Thursday is

"Greens"

My card features one of the new releases from Time For Tea Designs called "Gardening Emily & Ernie".

I've used the new Spectrum Noir triblend pens for my images.

                                    

Here's a close up view

This was my first try with the pens and I must say I was impressed with them. I found them quite juicy (which I like) and they blended really easily. I'm looking forward to them bringing out more colours.

Cute Card Thursday & CAS(E) Challenges

This week's theme for Cute Card Thursday is

Anything Goes

For this card I've also followed the CAS(E) this sketch challenge. Here's the sketch I've followed

                                                             

I've used a Time For Tea digi image called "Winter Hoodie" ( she's not in the shop yet as it's just been opened and all the images haven't been brought over yet) and I finally got out my Polychromos again. Need a bit of practise but not too bad lol. I did still use my Copics for the skin as I only have 24 pencils and I couldn't find a nice skin combo.

I've cut her out using my Scan & Cut. The die at the bottom of the card is a Sizzix Tim Holtz die.

The sentiment is a stamp set by CZ Design and is called Hello You.

This week we are sponsored by Whimsy Stamps.

Good Luck

Cute Card Thursday Challenge

Banish The Blues

So my card for this week features a fab freebie from Time For Tea Designs.

Isn't she pretty? You can only get her as a freebie if you join the Time For Tea Facebook Community page here https://www.facebook.com/groups/1310707962407855/

I coloured the background circle with different shades of oxide inks but first I embossed some little stars onto the circle with WOW sparkling snow embossing glitter. 

I then printed out my digi stamp and used my scan and cut to cut her out with a border. Next I coloured her skin and hair with Copics. The I paper pieced her dress, crown and shoes with an Anne Marie designs paper pad. to add that extra bit of sparkle I used the same embossing powder for her wings and magical stars. 

The sentiment which is from Mama Elephant has been heat embossed onto parchment using another WOW embossing powder called Totally Teal.

We are sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps this week and one lucky winner will get a $6 voucher for the store.

Cute Card Thursday & Time For Tea Challenge

This week's card is for two challenges- my CCT DT card and the Time For Tea challenge. 

And  the challenge for both this week is 

Anything Goes

Here's my card featuring a "Time for Tea Designs" digi stamp called " Milkshake & Iced Coffee".

                                                     

Digi stamps are great as you can size them to fit your project. So I printed her out and then used my Scan & Cut to cut a border around her. 

I've used Copics to colour her skin and hair and then paper pieced her outfit and cup.

The pretty paper is by Anne Marie Designs.

This week's winner will be able to pick 3 digital products from the Whimsy Stamps digital collection.

Good Luck!
