Rachael's challenge - adding dimension

Another Scrummy Stash Cafe cyber crop layout!

Rachael's challenge was to add some dimension to your layout. Now this is someting I *love* doing! Most of my pages have lots of layered papers etc. but I think I've outdone myself with this one - a total of 10 layers!

I've used the following papers:

SEI Winnie's walls

SEI Doodley-doo boy

Sassafras My Dearest

Sassafras Pocketful of rosies

Creative Imaginations scalloped ledger

Thickers for the title (as always!) as well as some MM tiny ledger alphas (totally addicted to these too at the moment!).

The chipboard swirl was painted with expresso paint dabber, sponged with white chalk ink, then covered with diamond glaze for yet more dimension!

Cute Card Thursday #14

Here's my take on TODAY's (can't believe I got it done same day! LOL) CCT challenge to use 3 different embellishments, in this case ribbon, flowers and gems - oh and a brad so that's 4, but never mind!!

Supplies:

Stamps: Magnolia ~ Papers: SEI ~ Flowers: Prima ~ Gems: Papermania ~ Ribbon from stash

Di Hickman Feb #2

Di has done us proud with another great sketch this week.

I used SEI Auntie Gertie's garden papers and a rub on by Pebbles inc. A nice quick and simple card for the stock pile!!

Di Hickman Jan #5

Here's my take on this week's sketch from Di. I used SEI Auntie Gertie's garden papers, some jumbo ric rac and a blossom -and my trusty chesnut roan fluid chalk ink around all the edges! Sentiment stamp is HOTP.

More Scrummy Challenges!

Here are my entries for last weekend's challenges over at the Scrummy Stash Cafe blog.

Saturday's challenge, set by Theresa, was to use felt and hand-stitching on your card. For this I used the Love Elsie Roxie papers and epoxy stickers. The felt frame was die cut with an Ellison thick cuts die and I stitched around the frame with embrodiery floss. This one also qualifies for Arty Girlz Challenge 9 to use hearts. (get me combining my challenges for the first time!!)


Sunday's challenge was to incorporate a pocket into your project. For this card I used SEI Auntie Gertie's garden papers and a stamp from Penny Black, coloured in with brush markers.

Di Hickman card sketch Nov #1

Here's my take on Di's first November sketch, using English Paper Company papers a length of black ric rac and a stamp that I found in the bottom of my Christmas stash box!!

And here's another card using the October #4 sketch - just because I loved this sketch so much! This card uses the SEI Auntie Gertie's garden kit from the Scrummy Stash Cafe - just love these papers!!

Photo Finish

This week's dare over on Daring Cardmakers is Photo Finish

This week I want you to make a card for any occasion but it must include a photograph somewhere! The photo subject can be people, items, locations, flowers, absolutely anything so get snapping

This was a really simple card to make. I took this piccy this morning, it's one of the non-stop begonias in my garden, and I then added the words in Photoshop. The papers I used are SEI Winnie's Walls, and then I added a length of grosgrain and a prima flower with a brad through the centre - done!

Yet another LO!

OK, so this is a bit of a cheat - I actually completed this LO a few weeks ago, but realised today that I hadn't photographed and uploaded it.

These pictures were taken on Easter Sunday when we had our first BBQ of the year (we do like our BBQs!). I used SEI beatnik boy papers, stickers and die cut tags, The BBQ FUN title was cut using sizzix Fruit Smoothie alphabet.

I've discovered Pencil Lines!

This is my first ever Pencil Lines layout, from Sketch #41. I've never done anything from sketches before and I had so much fun doing this!

The papers are SEI Winnie's Walls and as soon as I saw them I HAD to have them, but then wasn't sure what to use them for, however when I picked these photos I knew immediately that these were the perfect papers.

I've also used bazzill card (don't know what the colour is) and a large Bazzill blossom in crimson (the brad in the centre is from HOTP citrus embellishabilities). The arrows are autumn leaves stitched journalling stamps and the title is A Muse stitched alphabet stamps. I challenged myself to do a fair bit of hand cutting (the arrows, the title and the flowers) as I'm so rubbish at it and need to improve!

I can see myself getting a bit obssessed with this Pencil Lines lark - I've already printed off some of the older sketches too, so will be working my way forwards and backwards IYGWIM!

Hope you like it, and make sure you check back tomorrow to see what else I've made today (been a VERY busy bee!)
