Don’t be Blue

We have a super cool challenge over at Crafty Creations for the next two weeks.

 

Our theme is “Don’t be Blue”, so we would love to see creations to cheer someone up or not use Blue.

 

Our sponsor for the challenge is Robyn’s Fetish and I have used one of their sweet images, which has been coloured in with Copic Markers.

 

I have used a simple card style and gone for lots of purple.

 

Here is my card:

 

ccc blue

 

The additional little birds are a chipboard and I have added a little colour to them with a dauber.

 

Please come and join us if you get a chance.

 

See you next time.

Christmas Teddy Bear

Time to share with you my Christmas card for the Holly Jolly Christmas challenge.  Our theme:

 

Teddy Bears

 

We have some great sponsors too, so please come over and join us!

 

 

I have used my own image and this was the first stamp that I fell in love with when I started stamping. The stamp is by PSX and product number is K-980.

 

He is perfect for this challenge and my card is created in a CAS style using SU Shimmer White cardstock and some DSP from my stash.

 

The end of the DSP has been punched using the Scallop Edge Bunch.

 

Here is my card:

The little sentiment is from the SU Festival of Trees stamp set and reads “ A Merry Little Wish…” which has been stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink.

 

The circles have been punched using the Owl Builder punch and the heart from a retired little heart punch.
