Gorjuss New Year

First let me start off by saying a very belated Happy New Year to all my blogland friends.

Mine didn't start very well unfortunatly waking up on new years eve with flu, and after a look on the nhs website finding out it could possibably be swine flu!!
So i've been out of action till now, but i'm slowly starting to feel human again and today is the first time i've been near the room of stash in what seems like ages.

This is a little desktop calender a started b4 i got ill and now finally managed to finish.

I found a calender template online by googling, but Splitcoast Stampers also have some fab downloads if your a member.

I coloured the girls with my copics, the only differance was the sitting girl is done on smooth graphic 160gsm paper and the other on my new 180gsm cartridge paper, which i really am loving the effect of, the colours just blend so much better, not that you can tell this from the pic {or maybe you can}

I also used one of my new MS deep edge border punches and a couple of prima and paper flowers to finish, the papers used were BG.

This project fits in with a few of this weeks challenges including:

Papertake Weekly 'New Beginnings'

Cute Card Thursday 'All New'

Stamp Something 'New somethings'

Secret Crafter 'New Beginnings'

and a very late but just in time entry for Daring Cardmakers 'New Beginnings'

♥ HUGZ ♥

SFTW #6 & SCSC #40

This weeks Stampin 4 the weekend has the colour combo "Strawberries dipped in chocolate" {red and brown} which provided the base for my card of which The Secret Crafter saturday challenge provided a fab sketch by Jane

Now i know my card doesn't quite look good enough to eat as the colours suggest! but, I am really trying hard to get xmas out the way early this year, well the cards at least lol

Thanks for visiting, come back soon x

Materials used: BG & DCWV papers, MS Punch, Slice for die cut shapes, xmas shaped buttons, extra cute Panduro stamp coloured with copics and lantern highlighted with spica.

Secret Crafter #37

This weeks Secret Crafter challenge is one of colour..

GREEN & PINK

to be precise

perfect as i had one of my fabby Ketto stamps coloured in just those colours

I had a bit of a mad day on saturday and managed to make not 1 or 2 but 7 cards... think its a record for me, and this is one of them.

This is the first card i've made using my Ketto stamps,

there just adorable but kinda small! like me i guess PMSL

I coloured the image with Copics and Atyou Spica's

Used my MS doily lace punch to make a 3 tier colour drop background using textured card.

And embellished with prima flowers and BG brads.
