Under the sea - Mythical Creature II

I love the theme of the Scrapology Card Challenge this month and got a little carried away, here is card number two.

I have used a 6x6" CWC on the edge card and a decoupage image from Crafty Purple Frog who work closely with Sweet Pea.

The background is embossed card and swirls cut with a Tim Holtz die.

There are lots of layers on this image, I used foam pads usually.

Jewels were added to the points on th edge and also as bubbles on the other side.

Semi Circles of glitter card were added under the edge to sparkle.

Plenty of time to enter the challenge, just pop over to Scrapology for details.

Thanks for looking

Scrapology May Card Challenge - Mythical Creatures

This month's card challenge on Scrapology has been sponsored by Sue who is not only a member of our DT but also runs the Sweet Pea Stampers Challenge blog.

The brief was to use a Mythical Creature which is just up my street!

I love all the Sweet Pea images especially those by Ching-Chou Kuik.

I used a CWC 6x6" card and created mats of glitter and bazzill.

The image was stamped and coloured with Copics as below.

Sandra gave me a couple of swirls cut with a Memory box die at Jill's crop so I cut them in half and placed them under the edge of the image.

Random gems were added amongs the fronds.

Why not pop over to Scrapology to see the cards made by the DT and enter our challenge.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Scrapology June Card Challenge - Thats Crafty

Our June challenge was set by Laura at Thats Crafty.

Laura stocks the amazing Sweet Pea stamps which have featured a lot on my blog recently.

The image below is Purple Woods by Ching Chou Kuik and is coloured with Copics.

The card is a 6x6" from Craftwork Cards in lime tp which I added three panels of Magnolia paper.

I ran an edge with Platinum stickles around each one.

The image is double mounted onto purple and lime bazzill as is the birthday message (also CWC) and punched with SU scallop and circle.

Below is a close up of the image, they are so beautiful to colour in.

You can't really see here but I have dotted stickles onto the trees behind.

This is the sketch we used.

Why not pop over to the Scrapology blog to see the other DT examples and take part in this challenge.

A fabulous prize will be on offer again, check back in a few days.

Dont forget to follow the blog to be in with a chance to win.

Sweet Pea Stamps - Red Hearts

This is another stamp from Thats Crafty, Red Hearts designed by Ching Chou Kuik.

I used an 8x8 CWC card - this really is my favourite size at the moment.

The colours of the image made me think of BG's Scarletts Letter as below.

I used a Martha Stewart PATP leaf set and created a mount which I layered with the BG papers.

As you are restricted by size with the PATP I tied a ribbon under the image.

A close-up of the image, you can make out the dots I added as before with my white gel pen.

I created some roses with my Marianne die aswell as some leaves which I shaped and inked.

The rose centres are stickles.

I keep wanting to say this is my favourite but I love them all - just can't choose one.

I will definitely be buying more soon.

More to follow....

Sweet Pea Stamps - Love is Gone.

This one is by Ching Chou Kuik and is called Love is Gone from Thats Crafty.

I cut the coloured image with my creative memories circle cutter then a slightly larger one on purple cardstock. As I was colouring this one BG's Eva papers came to mind so here they are.

I used an 8x8 CWC card and layered it with papers as above and a square cut with a Martha Stewart PATP set. A stem of paper roses were added along with a small pink ribbon.

Below is a close up of the image, I used Copic Ciao pens.

You can't really see from this but I used a white gel pen in dots which really makes the image "pop"

I also used a Spica glitter pen on the wings.
