Say It With Colours on Kraft

I managed another little bike ride today, thought I'd better as I sat and ate loads of nuttella by the spoon full, which wasn't a good idea but it just so nice.

Anyway its time for another brilliant challenge at Annabelle Stamps.  I don't use kraft much and thought I would give this ago.

The challenge is to use Kraft with colour.  I have added colour to my image with glitter.  I only own two sets of promarkers and both sets are pastel colours which wouldn't show up so out came the glitter.  I love a bit of sparkle.

The papers were a free download but I have forgot from where as I have had them for ages and the image is from Pink Petticoat.  You can probably tell that I have used this image alot but I just love it!!

The sentiment is from Annabelle Stamps and I have added some ribbon.

Flying High!!!

Well I managed my bike ride with my little girl in the gorgeous sunshine.  All 19km, I was shattered when I got home its hard work pulling your toddler along in her little bike trailer.  Just wish I had taken my camera as I saw some gorgeous dragonflies.

After completing my previous post with a gorgeous digi from Fresh Brewed Designs I thought I would make another card using the same papers but with a different lay out taken from Mojo Monday.

And here it is:

The card is for the following challenges:

Cupcake 204.......Bunting

The Ribbon Reel - Challenge #34 Retro

Mojo 253

Say It In.....

Just checked the weather forecast and some nice weather is on its way for France, so might get out on my bike with my little girl and go for a picnic at the end of the week.  There is some lovely cycle paths where I live.

Anyway down to business.  Here is my card for the say It In challenge at Annabelle Stamps.

The image is from Annabelle Stamps and I have tried to make it look like the little girl is holding the flower on some string.  I have used papers from Pink Petticoat in New Leaf and Gold and added some red to the image using glitter.

The sentiment reads 'Friendship in Bloom'  I have also used cream card to mat and layer the image.

This card is also for the following challenges:

Pink Elephant - TPE159

Fairy Tale Challenge Blog - Challenge 47 - friends

Crafters Companion - challenge 27 Best Friends

My Time Made Easy - design team call

The lovely people over at My Time Made Easy are having a design team call and thought I would give it a try.

Here are the sketches you had to use:

and the colour palettes I have used are olive, sky blue and chocolate - Pretty Palette week 61 and orange, aqua and kraft - Pretty Palette week 60.  I wanted to be able to design one of the cards for a male and I felt pretty palette week 61 would do that.

Here I have used kraft paper to mat and layer the image, along with some aqua coloured glitter and a bow. The digital image is from Pink Petticoat and I have used promarkers and glitter to colour the image.

Here I have used chocolate for the base card and the stamped images are from Kanban.  I have used promarkers and paper pieceing for the cakes.

Kraft at Christmas

Just a quickie post and a Christmas card for the challenge at A Gem of a Challenge. This weeks challenge is to make a Christmas card using kraft.

I have used stamps from Annabelle stamps and added some little gems and the papers are from Pink Petticoat.

I have mat and layered the card using kraft paper and the Christmas tree has been heat embossed in gold.  I think this makes a very simple card.
