Quack the duck

The theme for this week's Cute Card Thursday Challenge is Anything Goes. We are sponsored by Whimsy Stamps this week and one lucky winner will get to choose 3 digi images from them.

I'd also like to enter this card into the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge and again that is Anything Goes.

Here's my card

I've used 2 stamp sets from AALL and Create for my card. 

Quack the Duck & #50.

First I created a mask from a circle die. The background is made with Brushos and a little water. I then stamped images from the #50 stamp set in black versafine. I stamped and embossed the duck and coloured him with Copics and then used 3D pads to adhere him to the background. I love the little sentiment and coloured the "quack" with copics. Just added some sequins to finish it off.

This is your day!!!

I'm entering this card for this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge. 

The theme is "Stamp On It".

I've used stamps from AALL & Create.

I've made the background using Oxide Inks, paints and lots of stamps. 

I stamped the sentiment and main image onto white tissue paper and then used a matte medium to adhere it to the background. To make it into a card I layered the main section onto contrasting card and then onto a blank white card.

Stamps: AALL & Create  #5, #23, #51 and #59

Inks: Distress Oxides - Tumbled glass, Seedless preserves & Pickled Raspberry

Decoart - Matte medium

Written in the Stars *

Today's card is featuring the gorgeous "Upon A Star" set from Lawn Fawn.

The background has been made using my Gelli plate. I got the pattern by using a scrunged up paper towel and dabbing it over the ink sprays. Really effective way of getting an interesting background.

I've coloured the images with Copics. 

I'd like to enter this card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge which is "Animal Magic".

Loads of Fun Sparkle Card

Most of the UK have a lovely sunny day but as is usual Scotland is overcast with rain so it's crafting time before I go back to work tomorrow.

And here's my third and final card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

I've die cut the basket full of washing die onto the top layer and placed the die which has been paper pieced flat onto the bottom layer. 

Stamps: Lawn Fawn - Loads of Fun

Papers: First Edition - Isabella ( half of the papers have a glitter effect)

Decorative border - Martha Stewart
