Mojo Monday Week 127

You could follow the square, round, or both, sketches over at Mojo Monday, this week. I chose the first option and that took me long enough LOL! I used Hero Arts 'Girl with Gift' stamp, which I coloured with Copics. I have also used American Crafts 'I Do' papers; SU sentiment stamp, oval and border punches; Nellie Snellen square die and a Martha Stewart Butterfly punch.

Friday Sketchers - No: 88

Mojo slowly coming back, so had a go at the Friday Sketchers challenge. I have used American Crafts 'Letterbox' papers, Nesties, Hero Arts sentiment stamp and EK success and SU punches. The image is Penny Black 'Buzz in the Air', which has been coloured with Copics.

No Mojo

Can't seem to get going with any challenges today, so thought I'd upload this LO, which I did last week, in the hope that it will give me the kick start I need.
Everything, apart from the bling and Sizzix cut title, was from Sarah's Cards January Kit, which I absolutely love. The papers are Bo Bunny 'Flutter Butter' and the transparency is by Fancy Pants.

Playdate Cafe Challenge 15


Really tricky colour combination, this week, from Sandi at the Play Date Cafe. After lots of ripped up pieces of paper I finally settled on this card. I have used 'Flying Stars' stamp from Penny Black, which I stamped onto a background, coloured with green and brown inks. I added some blue bling and also stamped the SU sentiment in blue and finished it off with a dark brown border punched with a Martha Stewart punch.

I have coloured the Lili of the Valley stamp with Copics; the papers are Crate Paper 'Lillian Collection'; the flowers are from Petaloo and the sentiment is Justrite Stampers.
