April Showers

I don't know where the time has gone this week! Started this off nearly a week ago and only just got around to finishing it. I've got no idea what ths Tilda is called because I haven't kept the packets but she seemed to be perfectly suited to the April Showers challenge at Stamp Something. I've coloured her with Copics but I'm nowhere near as good at it as some of the cards I see. The background paper is from K & Co Sparkly Sweet.
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
Stamp Something - April Showers
Totally Papercrafts - Springtime
Just Magnolia - Happy Birthday

Purple Swirls

Stamp Something are asking for "clean and simple" this week. I stamped directly onto the card with Versafine Imperial Purple using a flourish stamp from Graphicus. Then added a ribbon and a sentiment from a set by HOTP.

Some New Challenge Cards

This week I have made two challenge cards so far. The first one is for Friday Sketchers . I used some Papermania papers and my first ( and only) Tilda stamp - well everyone else seems to have them so I thought I should get one too! The lacy border was some white paper sticky lace trim that I bought from a local craft store which is closing down, which I coloured with a brown brilliance ink pad then cut the lace in half lengthwise - very fiddly!! The image is coloured with Twinkling H2Os. I have to say I was quite pleased with the result.

The second one I used the Tilda again coloured in the same way but different colours for the Monday Challenge on the Docrafts forum and also for the challenge at Stamp Something, which is a Thank You challenge. The papers were some that had come with a magazine a long time ago.

First Somethings Challenge

Here is my entry for Stamp Something's first challenge. The theme is "first something". This was a card I made with my first Penny Black Stamp and my first black and white card. The papers were from a Papermania Pad.

New Challenge Sites

I've just found two new challenge sites for us cardmakers - how good is that? Stamp Something sets a new challenge each Friday. The first one ends tomorrow night and the theme is "First".

The second one is Friday Sketchers . Hopefully I'll find time to make something for both of them.
