Gone fishing....

Good morning everyone.

 Its Saturday so time for another challenge at Totally Gorjuss, this week its Challenge 81- 

Water Water

and our sponsors are Simon Says Stamp

I chose to use Popcorn Bear fishing. I coloured using Distress inks .

Papers are from a Forever Friends pad.

I stamped the sentiment and hand cut it into a fish shape, edging with a little orange ink and I added a couple of small stamped fish at the bottom.

I hope I've inspired you a little and I look forward  to seeing some watery images and paper on your cards.

I am entering these challenges

Crafty Catz - Anything goes

Crafts and Me - Anything goes

Bye for now, I'll be back later with the SSDS challenge.

Anya... I love you

This started out as "I'll just make a quick card", But three attempt later this is what I finally decided upon. I'm still not happy with it, but I've changed the papers twice, coloured 3 images and have decided thats it, I'm not spending any more time on it. I'm off to make something completely different.

I followed the sketch from this weeks Sketch and Stash challenge #55. The papers were free from a magazine, still sticking to my New Years resolutions, trying to use up all my patterned paper, not buying more. 

As you can see I stamped this lovely Anya, she is actually an oldish stamp that I've had for probably 12 months or more, but just realised I've never used it until today.  I cut her out and put her on 3d foam to raise her. I embellished with 2 strips of ribbon threaded through a little pearl buckle, and 4 foiled die cut hearts. I blinged it up with lots of gems and some liquid pearls.

I am entering it into these 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.
