Challenge #73 - Bearlymine Designs "Montly Sketch" Challenge

Good Morning Crafters, well another week has flown by and its now our #73rd Challenge over at the Bearlymine Designs Challenge Blogspot, and for this one we are having a "Sketch" for you to play with.

 Fabulous design and a easy one for you to use Im sure, but Im getting ahead of myself and firstly you will want to know who our sponsors are for this one is, and we are lucky this time to have the following sponsors and the fabulous prizes they are offering you:-

 Saturated Canary - 2 digi images of Winners Choice

 And their gorgeous prize is this beautiful stamp

And they are offering a prize of

Oh wow what gorgeous prizes, it would be so nice to win any of them so I think its time to show you what I have made for this "Sketch" Challenge, and I was lucky enough to be given a image to play with and here she is, this is "Pint sized Love" and you will find her here.

I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I cut the image out with a Nestabilitie die and a fancy one for the mount. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same way as my Image.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card, the papers I have used are from Donna's Bearlymine "Small Dots and Plaids" digi papers and you will find them here. I have created the card to the sketch about and then across the middle I have wrapped a piece of pretty lace and attached it at the back of the first mount.

I then placed my mounted image in the center with the sentiment at the bottom on the right as the Sketch shows, I did also use a piece of the left over card to cut a corner out with a Memory Box die, the last two things are the flags at the top with flag buttons on top, these were created with one of the Epiphany punches and the last little flourish are the three roses along the right hand side of the image, these were stuck to the card with silicone glue and punched out rose leaves.

Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will go and visit the Bearlymine Designs 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 "Sketch" Challenge.

Challenge #23 - Cards for Men - "Anything Goes"

Good Morning Crafters, and happy Bonfire day to all those who are planning one today or later this week I hope the weather is kind to you, though the last weekend here has been extremely wet so no doubt the bonfire will have suffered. But back to todays Challenge, this fortnight we are being sponsored by:-

And the image I have used is a Saturated Canary one its called "Give Big Boy" and you will find it here, Ive printed him onto white card then used my favourite copic pens to colour him, afterwards I used Nestabilitie die No.8 to cut him out then used the metal die to draw around to create the mount for it. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and for my first mount I have used blue card and the papers are from Echo Parks "Boys Life" paper pad, the first a blue background with airplanes, balloons and flags on, and for my second I have used a red background with letters on, and the third yet another blue background with racing cards on.
The mounted image was then placed at an angle with the sentiment underneath in the bottom left hand corner. To finish of I have used a Whimsey Flag die to create the corner in the top right.

A Card for the Saturated "Bring on the Bling" Challenge

Good Afternoon All, well yes Ive actually managed to make a card today though how Ive managed I dont know as we are of to Bristol presently to search for my outfit for my grandsons wedding in a months time, and Im also meeting up with my fellow blogger "Elma" from Germany, shes over here for a holiday and weve arranged to meet at the Hilton in Bristol, so if this post is short I hope you will forgive me.
Ive used this sweet image "Double Take" from Saturated Canary, and printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, because I made her bigger than the dies Ive had to use my rotatrim to cut her out then mounted her onto a piece of pink card. The sentiment is one of stash ones that Ive mounted in the same way as my image.
The base card as always is a 6"x 6" white card and the first mount is pink card, the papers I have used are from Nitwits, not sure of their name at the moment as Im in bit of a rush, but will have a look later.
I mounted the base layer with three mounts and then placed my image towards the left and the sentiment at the bottom on the right, but before doing this I wrapped a piece of lace around the middle and attached it to the back.
To finish of I have used a creative expressions pearl swirl down the right hand side and created a floral spray with five roses and glittered them up with some stickles.

A Card for Saturated Canary "Anything Goes" Challenge

Good Morning Everyone, well at least so far today its dry here, Im hoping it will stay that way as Ive got to take the dog for a walk after lunch and also perhaps have a go at cutting the grass, hubby is voluntering today with the local Steam Railway and with luck weve been having lately its likely to turn nasty again tomorrow if we leave it.
I was lucky enough to be picked for top 3 at Saturated Canary this week and I thought as it was a "Anything Goes" challenge I would take part again as I seemed to have been rather lapse in joining in the challenges lately. This gorgeous image is "Cinders" dont you feel sorry for her left to do the housework? Not something us crafters like to do, anyway Ive stamped her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Die No.4 to cut her out, then used a larger one for the mount. The sentiment is one of the CC ones thats been treated in the same was as the image.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first layer of blue card for this card I have used four papers from the "Simply Sassy" digi paper set from Sweet Shoppe Digi Downloads, the first paper is a blue spot, then on top is a green one that I cut into a strip and used one of the Martha Stewart Border punches on, then on top is a third paper thats also been mounted on a piece of the same blue card. The final paper is a lilac one thats been cut with the new "Whimsey" double Scallop Die that I bought from Tracy at "Dies to Die" for, she wanted to see what I would do with it, so here you are Tracy, hope you like it.
I then positioned my mounted image in the centre with the sentiment at the bottom on the right, to finish of I have used five roses of different sizes with some punched out green leaves with yet another paper from the same paper set, these were then stuck to the top left hand corner with some silicone glue.

Good Morning Everyone, now this post is going to be scheduled so I do hope it appears on time, if not I will try and post it remotely, as at the moment Im in Cornwall enjoying a few days with my friends from Guernsey and their dear little boy, whos just reached a year old, will tell you all about it when I get back.
Todays Challenge for Bearlymine is our 37th and for this one we want to see a "Animal" on your card, I know that there are lots of images out there so it shouldnt be a problem for you. And for this Challenge we are being sponsered by:-

And for my card I decided to use a Saturated Canary Image.

And I printed her onto white card and used my copic pens to colour her, then she was cut out by rotatrim and mounted onto a piece of blue card also cut with my rotatrim. The sentiment is one from my stash and was treated in the same way as the image.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and for my first mount Ive used a piece of blue card, and the papers are from Donna's Bearlymine "Spring Flight" digi paper set and you will find them here, for the first layer I have used a blue background with daisies on and for my second is a pink one thats been cut in a strip and on one edge Ive a Martha Steward border punch, on top is a yellow strip with white daisies on.

The mounted image was then positioned in the centre, the sentiment is at the bottom on the right hand side, to finish of I have used some of the Cherry Blossoms in two colours and pink angel tears with pearl sprays, these were stuck to the card with silicone glue and punched out fern leaves in the bottom left hand corner. And the final flourish is three pink pearls down the top right hand side.

A Card for Saturated Canary "Bookmark" Challenge

Good Afternoon Everyone, I hope your enjoying your weekend so far, Im a bit annoyed I washed a door curtain this morning, and went into the garden to take it down, but before I did that I decided to remove the wind chimes as they were making one hell of a racket, and you can guess what happened the wind blew my beautiful clean curtain around it, and of course it left huge green marks all over it, so into the wash its gone again. Just hope we dont get any more blibs in the power as weve already had one today, its so annoying as I was in the course of downloading my photos onto my computer when it went of, we had two yesterday afternoon.
Anyway thats enough of that chatter, this card today or I should say bookmark is for the Saturated Canary Challenge this week, this little cutie was the free download that I got from them and Ive printed it onto white card then used my copics to colour her, it was then cut out with one of the Go-Kreate Tag dies, and I decided it looked a bit bland and decided to stick some lace around the edge before sticking it to a mount, to finish of Ive stuck a ribbon to the top and a little rose in the centre between the tabs. Its a simple design as I didnt want to make it to thick so you would be unable to use as a bookmark.

A Card for Saturated Canary "Doilie" Challenge

Good Afternoon Everyone, well its a funny old day today weve had downpours and now weve got sunshine, its almost like April, its a shame but I suppose its better than snow or at least thats what I think. Anyway Im sorry I havent posted any cards for a few days but still trying to get over the busy time we had last week and Im hoping to get back to some sort of normality by next week but we shall see. Todays card has been created for the Saturated Canary's "Doilie Challenge, and Ive used this sweet image for my card and coloured it with my tria pens then used the Nestabilitie Die Labels No.11 to cut it it out then used the die again to create the mount. The sentiment is one of the LOV stamps and has been cut out with a circle die.
The main card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of purple card and one paper from the Kaisercraft "Lilac Avenue" paper pad, a very pretty white background with sead heads on in different colours, on top is a yellow doily cut with a Cheery Lynn Pastry die and this was stuck to the right handside of the card. Then around the middle I have wrapped a organza flower ribbon with a piece of satin ribbon on top and attached to the back of the card.
To finish of I have used three lily flowers and two tulips to create a flower spray, these were attached to the card with some silicone glue and punched out fern leaves.

A Card for Satuarated Canarys "Anything but Rectangle of Square"

Good Afternoon Everyone, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the lovely comments you left me on the death of my mother in law, bless you and thank you not only from my myself but also my hubby Ian. Weve now got a funeral date and that will be on March 2nd at 1.30pm so then hopefully the worst part will be over, mind you weve still got to wait for probate but at least we can say our last goodbye's to mum.
Anyway back todays card, this is for the Satuarated Canarys "Anything but Rectangle or Square" and Im hoping this little sweetheart will fill the bill, Ive printed her onto white card then used my copic and tria pens to colour her, then used Nestabilitie No.18 to cut her out, and used the die again to create the mount for her.
The bottom part of the card is one of my Go Kreate dies that has cut a shape for the base, and for the piece on top, its another piece of pearlescent card that I have used one of my Martha Stewart border and corner punches on, then I ran it through the cuttlebug with a embossing folder to give it texture.
Then stuck it to the bottom piece I also wrapped a piece of lace around the bottom and attached it to the back of the front, then on top I have placed my mounted image and the sentiment underneath. To finish of Ive used two leave sprays from Memory Box dies and some small roses to add extra dimension.
