yellow and pink x 2 (plus one with green too!)

Yoo-hooo, I'm back again!!

I'm here with a couple more cards... (I know!! I don't know what's come over me this week!)

I'm expecting some new goodoes to arrive soon as well, so you're likely to be seeing alot more from me!

I always like the colour challenges, both of these cards were inspired by fab colour schemes...

First up is my Pink and Yellow entry.....

The sketch is from:

Papertake Weekly

Passion for Promarkers wanted Tulip yellow and Baby Pink (GORGEOUS) Plus stitching...

I've handstitched quite alot on this card, was so relaxing (till I pricked myself..ouch!)

I'm also entering this for Stamp Something where they want to see 'Spring somethings'

Image: Sarah Kay coloured with promarkers

Papers: mix of BG

Next up is another pink and yellow one... but this time with a bit of green added....

I've followed the Fab Sketch over at:

Sketch & Stash

Penny Black ware asking for Pink, Green and Yellow....(FAB!)

I'm also entering this for Fussy & Fancy who wanted us to 'Dazzle them' I've used 2 VERY dazzling crystals... (although the piccy doesn't do them justice!)

Image 'crush' penny black Colored with promarkers
Papers BG and MME
Ribbon Stampin up

This stamp is the first stamp I EVER bought, and has been VERY neglected!! but I do adore this lil doggy!! I've handmade the flower using a circle punch.... think I need a bit more practice... lol!

Thanks for looking!!!

Vintage (or at least my version of it!!)

Over at Simon Says Stamp challenge this week they are asking for a vintage project, with flowers...

I've got to be honest, I don't really 'do' vintage, but really wanted to challenge myself (thats the point right?)

I followed the fabulous sketch over at Paper Play

and I'm also entering this card at Stamp With Fun where the theme is 'stitch'

stuff: Sarah Kay stamp (Roses garden)
coloured with promarkers and pencils
Papermania vintage and BG lemonade papers
Flowers are Woodware and Prima
hand stitching and doodles...

I'm not even sure if this is vintage?... but I'm going with it....
Not sure I'll be trying this again...took too blooming long!!

Thanks for looking!!

Two days in a row.....

Evening everyone... Thanks to all who've commented on my previous post! xx

I'm back again with another card... Haven't been quite as productive today, but I do have a couple of images coloured ready...so watch this space!!

I've followed the fab sketch from Heidi over at Moving along with the times

There is also a theme of 'MUM'

And I'm also entering this for the following challenges:

Allsorts : Tag, Ticket or Label

Pile it on : Flowers

Secret Crafter : Mothers day

Heres my card...

I'm doing really well at using all my older stamps... Its a shame to leave them all packed away... especially when they are so beautiful!!
plus I will feel MUCH better when I buy new stash, knowing that I'm not neglecting my old stuff ;)
