ABC Challenges - "X is for EXtreme"

Good Morning Crafters, well we are already half way through December and its only 10 days to Christmas, I sincerely hope that you have posted your cards and you are almost completed the present list and now all you need to think about is the food.
Well over on ABC Challenges we have reached the letter "X" and for this its all about being Extreme, and we are being sponsored by Marianne Designs

And for my Card I have used both a Marianne Image and a Die

I have used Image HM9436 which is of two young people struggling against the snow, I stamped it out and coloured it with my copic pens, afterwards I used a Marianne die to cut it out and before removing from the die I inked it through the design to create the effect you can see. The sentiment is also a Marianne one and this was stamped onto a piece of card then cut out with the banner die, I used a blue inkpad though the openings of the die to also create the same effect as the mounted image.
I then created a background by using double sided stickyback paper and some large german glass glitter to create the snowy effect, and placed my mounted image in the center with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.
The final flourish are the 3 snowflakes which were punched out with a Martha Steward punch and placed around the mounted image.

Good Morning Crafters, I cannot believe we have already reached the letter V over on the ABC Challenge Blogspot, and we are also being sponsored by The Paper Shelter

And they are the company that I work for  I was lucky enough to be able to choose any Image to play with and this is the result

She is called "Purity" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card and then coloured it with copic pens and then cut it out with a circle die and a fancy one for the mount out of mauve card.
The base card is 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of mauve card and the backing papers I have used are the "Watercolour Dreams" paper set and you will find them here on The Paper Shelter website.
I have used two of the papers the pretty first layer is in greens and mauves, on top of this I have used a blue one to contrast it. I then wrapped a piece of mauve ribbon around the card but before doing so I pleated a piece of spiderweb ribbon and stuck it down with the mauve ribbon on the top edge.
I also created a bow and put this on top on the left hand side.
The mounted image was firstly stuck on a pretty circular doily and placed in the middle over the mauve ribbon, I stamped a sentiment and placed it at the bottom on the right hand side and the final flourish are the 6 pearls in the top two corners.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope that you will pop over to the ABC Challenge Blogspot and see for yourself what the rest of the DT have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "V is for Violet" Challenge.

This Chef is called "The Pizza Chef" and you will find him here, I printed him onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him, afterwards I used my Nestabilitie Die to cut him out and a fancy one for the mount out of beige card. The sentiment one is from my stash thats been stamped onto another piece of white card and then cut out by using my rotatrim and mounted with another piece of the beige card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of beige card and the papers are from "Trattoria Chef" and you will find them here, I used three papers the first is a red and white checked one, and the second is a green, white and beige check as well, and the third is a red one which has been mounted and laid down the right hand side.
The mounted image was then placed towards the left and the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.
Now that youve see my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will take part in our "For the Man in your life" Challenge and I look forward to you cards.

ABC Challenges - "S is for Sprinkles"

Good Morning and another new month has arrived and of course its really the beginning of Autumn and the clocks changing, to be honest not my most favourite time of the year, I dont like dark evenings Im afraid. Anyway to cheer you all up its time for a brand new Challenge over on ABC Challenge Blogspot and this one is "S is for Sprinkles" and this can mean either, Embossing Powder, Frantage and or Glitter.
And for this Challenge we are being sponsored by ArtbyMiran

And I am lucky to have a few images to play with and found this beautiful one below which I thought was ideal

She is titled "Petal Blossoms" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her and to add the sprinkles I used a clear embossing ink and some Frantage powder which I embossed with a heat gun, afterwards I used a square die to cut her out and a fancy one for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash that I samped onto a piece of white card then used one of my fancy tags to cut her out and mounted this also onto another piece of the same blue card as the mounted image.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of blue card and the papers are from Phil Martins "Decadent Damask" paper pad and i have used two different patterns, the first a darker blue and on top I have cut a square and used a border and corner punch to create a doily square and placed this on top of the first layer.
I then placed a piece of ribbon around the middle downways and put my mounted image on top, I then placed my sentiment in the bottom right hand corner upwards, and finished of the top right and bottom left hand corner with pearls, and the final embellishment is the triple bow in the top left hand corner.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the ABC Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "S is for Sprinkles" Challenge.
