I would like to welcome Michelle who has just become my latest follower.

Penny's Paper Crafty

The theme this week is

Use Something From Your Craft Stash

Our sponsors this week are

Inky Impressions

If you feel this challenge could be a little hard, then think again

how many of us have loads of crafty bits hiding in our rooms?.

So open then draws and look into boxes and I bet you will find

more than enough to stuff to enter our challenge and maybe

even surprise yourself at what you find.

The design team have busy bee's creating for your

inspiration, so go on over and have a looks at what

they have come up with.

My card has been made using the image Noah's Tire Swing

from Paper Creator and you can find it HERE.

DETAILS

1.I took a 7 x 7 white scalloped edge card and matted it brown card.

2. Next I took a piece of Hessian (from my stash) and laid it across

the card.

3. The image is pre-coloured and once I printed it off I cut down to

size and distressed around the edges before adhering to my card.

4. The three sentiments I have stamped (again something from my

stash) using the same T/H ink.

To complete the last items from my stash were  the three buttons.

Well that's it, a really quick card but a cute one don't you think?

Until Next Time

As Always

Welcome back for another challenge over at

The challenge runs every fortnight , posted every other Monday.

The theme for this fortnight's challenge is 

     Stitching Real Or Faux                    

    and we are sponsored this fortnight by

The Hobby House

The ladies on the design team have been working

hard and have created some  fabulous cards

for inspiration, well worth a peep.

I have used one of my own images  for this challenge 

 from Elizabeth Bell named Planting Some Love

DETAILS

      1.  Using fancy card from my stash, I made Faux stitching

by using black marker pen.

 2.  With S/B dies Grand Labels Four I cut three labels
from blue,pink and white card. They were then

embossed using X cut embossing folder
Dandelion Seeds.  Again using black marker
pen I created the Faux Stitching.

   

3. The image was printed onto the white card and

 then coloured with Copic Markers.

4. Before adhering the layers to the card I adhered
a doily, then using foam tape layered up
each layer.  To the image card I attached
a piece of lace.

To complete the card I added a bow and heart gem
to the bow centre and pink gems at the edges.

Hope you will join us over at Dream Valley and
looking forward to seeing your creations.

Until Next Time

DETAILS

black card.

cut two out of black card and adhered them to the card.

3. Next came the backing paper which has been printed out

from the Ooh La La cd Yesterdays Memories. Before this

was stuck down I wrapped a piece of black lace across

the bottom.

4. The image was printed onto super smooth card and coloured

using my Copic markers.  I then used the new Spectrum

Noir Sparkle Pens on the fur collar,cuffs and headband.

Using T/H distress inks and a stencil I created the background

5. Using the same X Cut die I again cut out the frame but this

to the card at an angle using foam tape.

gems at each corner of the frame and three in the top right

corner.
