Penny Black Saturday Challenge

This weeks Penny Black Challenge was another Sketch. Really enjoyed this one bit I think I need to get some more Penny Black stamps, my choice is rather limited at the moment.

Backing Papers are from Kay Millers Wings Kit. Stamp is of course Penny Black which I coloured with Whispers Brush Pens. Thank You stamp is from my Hero Arts Clear Design stamp set. Brads and Ribbon Bits from my stash and Bit Box.

Stamp Something - Triple Play

This week's challenge was interesting. 3 Layers, 3 Colours, and 3 Embellishment's. I think you can see the 3 layers pretty clearly. My 3 Colours are Lilac, Pink and Lime Green. My Image is made up of 3 layers as well. Ribbon, Button and Gems make up my 3 Embellishments.

My Backing papers are from Kay Millers Enchanted Kit. Tilda was coloured with Whisper Brush Pens. I went around the edges with the Green Whispers pen but the doesn't show up that well.

Paper Take Weekly - Katharina's Sketch #4

Here's this weeks Papertake Challenge, another sketch from Katerina. I'm trying to keep to the Quick Card theme, but it still takes me sooo long to decide on Papers! Once I've got that decision made the rest is pretty quick.

I apologise for the quality of the photo, but hopefully that will be rectified soon as my Online Photographic course over at JessicaSprague.com starts on Monday! I was so lucky to get in 200 spots sold out in less than 10 minutes.

Backing papers used on this card are from Kay Miller's Live for the Joy Kit. I embossed some brown card stock with the Swiss Dots Cutlebug Embossing Folder and added some Ribbon and a bow, two buttons with brown ribbon threaded through.

Cute Card Thursday #14

I can't believe that I've managed to miss 10 challenges! How on earth did that happen? Well I'll have to make up for it, and here's my 1st attempt at that. I actually made this card last night after getting my new stash of Tilda's and was thinking that I might not have a challenge to tie it in with. Imagine my suprise when I saw what this weeks challenge was!

'

I must admit that I'm abit of a late bloomer when it comes to the Tilda Stamps, this time last month I had none and yesterday my second batch of 6 came so now I have 11 Tilda's, 1 Edwin and Tilda's Birds, but this is exactly why I'm a late bloomer. I knew that once you had one you would want them all!

'

The Backing Papers believe it or not actually come from a fab kit called Jungle Boogie by Kay Miller, aren't they just gorgeous! Tilda was coloured with Whispers Brushstrokes, I used a Clear Happy Birthday stamp for the sentiment and my 3 Embellishments are Brads, Gems and a Ribbon.

Paper Take Weekly - Katharina's Sketch #3

Another one of Katerina's sketches and it's a great sketch too (or should that be three?). I've got loads of Glitter card and decided this was just what this card needed, and they match the backing papers so well. Any gueses as to who's it is?

Sorry guy's but I'm so predictable at the moment when it comes to my Backing papers. Once again it's a Kay Miller Design kit, this time I used the Live For The Joy Kit. The other papers are so scrummy, it's really hard deciding which ones to use! The image is from the Pandura Girls set, which was coloured with Brush Pens.

CPS #65

Here's my card for the sketch. I managed to find some Tim Holtz Distressed Ink Pads for half the normal price so I bought as many colours as they had in stock (18 in total) if they had more I would have got them too. I've only just started playing with them and I'm making a few mistakes here and there but enjoying it none the less.

I've again used a Kay Miller Design Kit, this time the Light of My Life Kit. I only used one backing paper. I distress inked the White card stock for the panels. The paper and card has been mounted onto Gold Mirri Card. The sentiments are Hero Arts Clear Stamps.

Wendy's Sketch Challenge #10

Here's my card for wendy's Sketch. I should have Ironed my ribbon before I put it on the card! Sorry about the flash. I'm going to retake some of today's photo's in the morning, I had to take them all at an angle because of the Mirri Card.

The Floral paper is from Kay Millers Midnight in the Garden and the Purple Background paper is from the Wings kit. Sentiment is a Hero Arts Clear Design Stamp.

DCM Animalia

DMC this week is all about Aminals. Mel set the Dare and here is what she said. I've based my dare on the book by Graeme Base called 'Animalia' (just because that book happened to be sitting near my desk when I realised it was my turn for the dare this week).

The Image and Papers are all from Kay Millers Little Boy Joy kit. Once again they've been mounted onto Silver Mirri Card.

Sketch This #50

I decided to try the Lay Out Sketch for making a card, I'm pretty happy with the result and of course I got to use more Kay Miller Designs!

This time I used Kay's Enchanted Kit, mounted on Silver Mirri Card. The Flower border is from the kit and the stamps used are Clear Stamps. I added two Flower Brads and some Sticky Ribbon Flowers.

Two for One

I suprised myself and managed to do loads today! So here's the 1st of 5 posts. I did this challenge using My Paper Worlds Card Sketch. Papertakes Challenge this week is Lilac and Lime, I think these colours are brilliant together! This weeks challenge is another colour combination! Luscious Lime and Lilac - or any shades of green and purple! The challenge this week is sponsored by Katty at SkattyKats.

The Papers are from Kay Millers Midnight in the Garden Kit, I mounted them onto Silver Mirri Card. Magnolia stamp coloured with Brush Pens, I added a chipboard tag and some ribbon with a Star Brad.

Kay Miller Card

I just had to do another card this time using Kay Millers Simple Pleasures Kit. Unfortunately my photography skills do not do these papers any justice!

'

The Image is another of the Pandura Girls stamps, watercoloured with chalk inks. The sentiment is from one of my Hero Arts Clear Design stamp sets.

Wendy`s Sketch Challenge 9

Here's my Card for Wendy's Sketch. I've used some more of Kay Millers Amazing Papers!!!! These come from the "Wings" Kit, which is available from Kay Miller Designs. I've layered onto Silver Mirri Card and the torn strip is Vellum that I printed one of the papers onto. The image is from Panduro Girls Collection which I coloured using Twinkling H2O's.

You can expect to see alot more of Kay's papers as I've got loads of kits to get through, it's just deciding which one first.

sketch this: 48

Another excuse to use my Kay Miller Designs. I really enjoyed doing this sketch, so much so that I'm going to be doing a LO aswell. Watch This Space!!

'

The papers are from the All Organic kit by Kay Miller Designs, the stamp is Gossamer by Penny Black, which I watercoloured with Derwent Aqua Tone Pencils and the Sentiment is a Hero Arts Clear Design Stamp. I used brown velvet ribbon and a wooden Butterfly Button from my Bit Box.

My Paper World Sketch #9

I've been playing around with Photoshop and very gradually I'm starting to learn how to use it. I managed to recreate Nicola's Sketch as a Template, use my digital kit and this is the result.

I then created the Hybrid version, which due to my amazing photographic skills (haha) has come out darker than the Digital one.

'

I've only just discovered Kay Miller Designs and will certainly be using alot of her kits, they are super fab!!! If you think these papers and images are adorable just wait till you see what else she has. The Kit I used for this card is Little Boy Joy. i went over the letters of the Sentiment with my Sakura Clear Gel pen (not that you can see it in the photo), the stars have been Crystal Lacquered along with the puppies collar and nose.
