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.

Play Date Cafe Challenge 17

Gorgeous colour combination, this week, from Julie at the Play Date Cafe. I used Antique Linen distress ink to colour the card, stamped 'Cozy Lady' from Hampton Arts in Black Cherry StazOn, masked the image and then stamped Tim Holtz flourishes and Hero Arts 'Style is Eternal' in Timber Brown StazOn. The papers are Graphic 45 'Fashionista', the border punch is Martha Stewart and the sentiment frame is a Nestability.

Another challenging colour scheme, red, Lavender and silver, from the team at Playdate Cafe. I have used SU 'Real Red' and 'Lavender Lace' inks and card stock; SU punches and stamps, except from the 'Circle Lace' stamp, which is Hero Arts, and some silver bling.

Stampotique Designers Challenge No:1

Found a new challenge over at the Stampotique Designer's Challenge Blog, which is perfect for me to try out my new Stampotique stamps with! The theme, this week, is love. I have used 'Girl with Heart Purse' and have coloured her with distress inks. The papers are Basic Grey 'Boxer'; the sentiment is Penny Black; the border punch is Martha Stewart and the photo corners are Sizzix.

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.

SU Challenge

Decided to go through my SU stamp sets and try and create something from each one. This card is made using the 'Office Accoutrement' and 'Happy Everything' sets. I have also used the 'Spiral' and 'Round Tab' punches, Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Pie inks/card and 'Sweet Always' PP.

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.
