Thought I'd have a change from cards so when I saw the challenge at http://ropchallenge/.

I've used sakura pens to colour , and it has been layered up but doesn't show very well in the photo, the flowers are spritzed with Lava red cosmic shimmer.....lovely sheen on them

Pink Snowman

Now before you all shout snowmen are white....I know.... but I fancied a change so if you add cochineal to snow you do get pink...lol. This little cutie has been painted with Sakura pens using 3 pink shades with a hint of green and copper as well as everyones favourite clear.Flowers are from Tabby crafts, papers are DCWV....love these pink christmas papers,and the stamp is WOJ and the sentiment stamp is Papermania. I have entered this card into several challenges:

Spoon full of Sugar...... Babies first Christmas.
Cute and Girly.............Winter wonderland

Charisma.................... 'Merry and Bright
Cooking it up with Katie..this weeks recipe is a flower used slightly differently (used mine as part of the sentiment), something clear i.e. dew drops and use a sketch from another challenge (my sketch is from Mojo Monday)
'....thinks thats about it never entered so many challenges with one card so this is a record for me.

Christmas Tilda

This card started out for one challenge but kinda evolved into a card to be entered into a few challenges so Magnolia Down Under is where I started with, following their fab sketch then the theme at Just Magnolia is Distressed, so I distressed the edges with Shabby Shutters and Aged Mahogany,Everybody Art has the theme Distressing as well , Creative Inspirations theme is new stash or old stash, bit of both going on here as the papers are new and the stamp is last years Tilda.Quixotics' second challenge is Stitches, I love adding machine stitching and this time I've added a double row of stitching on the centre panel as well as around the edge of the card and finally Creative card Crew want you to add Doodles.

Primary Colours

This card was a smidge difficult to do, in as much that I didn't have that many papers that were primary colours and the theme at 'Cute Card Thursday is to use primary colours. The stamp is a sugar nellie design the papers were from a magazine eons ago, I stitched the paper panel down the centre stitching the ribbon in place as I went.The sketch that I  followed was on Sketch Saturday this was a lovely sketch to follow and I was quite pleased with the overall finish.Over at Allsorts this week the theme is 'Bring out the Bling' and 'One stop' have the theme of a card for kids, and finally Creative Card Crew have tha theme of ribbons and gems.

Pink Gem Design

Another great sketch at Spoon Of Sugar kept the card simple cos I like simple also love Pink Gem stamps.At Creative card crew the theme is babies and children cards.

A Spoon full of Sugar

I love it when you can enter a card in a few challenges and this weeks sketch at Spoon full of Sugar fits the bill just nice because over Create Card Crew the challenge this week is to use scallops,Everybody Arts challenge is to use shapes or punches and finally Cute Card Thursday want a charm included on the card, hopefully this card meets all of those criterias....yay!!!

Just Magnolia

Another little pony card as you can tell I love this image kept the colour scheme simple.... mint green and added buttons with faux stitching also entered the card in Creative Card Crew challenge as the theme is celebration and this is a great baby card as well One Stop Challenge as the theme is a Birthaday card so 3 in 1 for this one yay........

Autumn

Today I've had my grandson and I'm bushed, we went to playgroup and I was amazed that I even remembered the words to Wheels on the bus....for my card today I've used one of the Whiff of Joy stamps from the autumn collection, this one is my favourite. The challenge this week is a recipe 6 Brads,3 Papers and 2 Flowers, I've followed the sketch over at Papertake weekly.the papers I,ve used are MME lovely colours to work with. Over at My Time to Craft and Stamp with Fun the theme is Autumn and finally Creative Card Crew's challenge is to decorate the inside of the card...this is a first for me so I hope its ok.Off to work tomorrow for a rest ...lol.

Creative Card Crew Challenge

This weeks challenge is a fairy design so I have used one of my favourite stamps from Crafty Individuals and the tag was made from a stamp that was a freebie in the Craft Stamper magazine a few months back. I have painted the design in my fave paints cosmic shimmer
