Cute Card Thursday

Another Thursday and it's time for the Cute Card Thursday challenge. This week's theme is

Bit O' Bling

Bring out your bling, any jewels, gems, pearls on your creations!

Here is my card

I think the blingy papers are from DCWV but not too sure. Anyway I layered up the card with the papers. The image is from Bella and I coloured her with promarkers and copics. I then layered her onto the blue card and added the little silver clip. I used a piece of grey ribbon along the left side and added little bits of black ribbon to it by using the grey brads. The stickers are from a kit, again sorry not too sure who they are by.

Susie Sunshine is again our GD for this week. We also have a fab prize for one lucky winner. A Creative Art Concepts for Papercrafts book kindly donated by C & T Publishing.

The DT team have made some lovely bling cards this week , you can see them and find all the details for the challenge here.

Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge

This week's theme for the Tilda & Friends ATC challenge is

Use more than one character

Here is my ATC using two House Mouse

I used a scrap of paper for the background left over from a card and inked the edges. The image is of course a House Mouse stamp and I coloured it with promarkers and copics. I also added some clear star pen to the seeds. I then doodled a frame around the edges. It has been adhered with 3D pads. The sentiment has been made with a tape writer.

A Spoon Full Of Sugar

Spoon Full of Sugar is celebrating it's 1st birthday today and wow there are some great prizes to be had. Too many to mention on this post so you need to pop over to the ASOS challenge blog to see.So the theme is

Celebration

Now I've just got to tell you I'm not at all happy with this card my mojo seems to have taken a holiday. It may be that I've run out of a lot of supplies, I'm going over to the UK in July to stock up so maybe it will come back then?

So I've used a House Mouse image and coloured it with promarkers and copics. I then cut it out and 3D pads to adhere it. The papers are all from a Basic Grey pad called Stella Ruby. The sentiment is a SU stamp and the blooms are from my dwindling stash. I used a Martha Kay punch for the decorated strip.

The other DT members have made some gorgeous cards for the theme. We also have 2 guests for this week. Deb and Marlou have come back to join in the celebration. They have also made gorgeous cards. You can see all the cards and prizes on the ASOS blog here.

Digital layouts

As I haven't made a card for a while I thought I'd show you what I've been up to. I know most of you aren't into this kind of thing but hey I might give you some inspiration to start! ;0)








I'll be back tomorrow with my A Spoon Full Of Sugar card.

Letters and Numbers

I have used a new Alota stamp called "Carousel". I've coloured it with promarkers and a little clear star sakura pen. The papers I have no clue because they are old and I found them at the bottom of a pile! I cut out the "Baby" with my Cricut using the Mini Monograms cartridge.
