Autumn Anya

I made this card to enter the Roses on Paper Challenge - Choose a sketch and use orange, brown and green. They are also on the look out for a guest DT spot on the new Belles 'n Whistles team. For more details check it out here.
On to the card, I followed the sketch over at Stamping with Fun

This gorgeous Anya image is from Greeting Farm, I coloured her with Promarkers. I have only just got them and already I'm hooked, just love the effects and shading you can achieve. The papers are Kay & Co ( I do tend to use this range alot) and the embellishment is various flowers layered and held together with a brad. The leaves are punched from a sheet of vellum, that I had to shade to the right colour. Ribbon and gems from stash.
I am also entering this card into the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge as it fits the theme of Autumn Colours perfectly.

Two cards ....four challenges

This card I have made for the Stamp Something Challenge - Brown plus something. I followed the sketch over at Saturday Sketch #72, but turned it around. The image is Anya from The Greeting Farm which I coloured with Promarkers. The papers and embellishments are all Kay & Co.



This card I made to enter in the Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Buttons and Bows. I followed the sketch over at Friday Sketchers #73. I coloured the image with Marvy Le Plume and Sakura Gelly Roll Pens to add a touch of sparkle.

The paper is actually card from the Patchwork Pals range. The ribbon, snowflakes and buttons are from stash. Where are the buttons? I hear you ask, well if you look closely, the snowflakes have tiny red star shaped buttons in the center.

Whiff of Joy Challenge

I have followed this gorgeous sketch for the Whiff of Joy Challenge.

I coloured my image using my new Promarkers. Layered papers from a Kay & Co pad - Classic K Bailey, on to card. Some flowers from stash with metal embellishments from Papermania and the sentiment is a peel off coloured with peel off pens.

Autumn Popcorn

I have made this card following the sketch over at the Lili of the Valley Challenge.
I stamped Popcorn bear lazing in the garden and coloured him using Distress Inks and Zig Brushables The papers are from the K & Co - Hopscotch pad and the flowers are a mix of prima and craftwork cards, with a wheelbarrow charm from stash to finish..
I thought I would carry on the design inside too. Hope you like it.

I am going to enter it into a few challenges that are asking for an Autumn theme.

Two more cards for two more challenges

The 1st card is for the Truly Scrumptious Challenge~ A Sketch and Flower Power. I used K & Co papers, cut the circles with cuttlebug, coloured the image which is Sugar Nellie - Flowers with Marvys and Distress Inks and flowers, ribbon and sentiment from stash.






This 2nd card is for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge~ Marshmallows and Chocolate (brown and pink) colours. Again I've used some different K & Co papers, and coloured my image with Marvys Brushables. As you can tell this image of Willow kneeling from Whiff of Joy Spring Set is my favourite at the moment and I especially like combining it with the Fall Grass also W.O.J stamp. The swirly bits are trimmed from a large Sizzix die - Flourish. Ribbon and Flora Doodles flowers to finish off.

Whiff of Joy Challenge Card

Here's my card for the W.O.J Challenge . This week it was a sketch from Katharina, I followed the sketch as it was, apart from instead of a scalloped border, I used the faux brads I got from Craftwork Cards at the Papercraft Show. I stamped Willow kneeling and Fall Grass using a masking technique, then coloured the image using Distress inks and Brushables. The papers are K & Co, Chelsea pad by Brenda Walton, with flowers and rub-on flourishes from stash. I love these colours, really Spring-like they really cheer me up, and I need it today as my laptop has gone again. I've had to take it in to be fixed again,they seem to think its the motherboard, so now I've nothing to play on for the foreseeable future. I'm back to blogging on my sons computer in his room, not ideal, but needs must.
