Birds, Nests and Eggs

Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge this week is for Birds, Nests and Eggs.  I've used some
Die cuts and Material Roses to create my Bird ATC. I trimmed the backgound paper down to the right size and only realised after I had put the card together, that I had luckily kept the nest and small bird in the bottom left hand corner, sometimes things just work out.

Buttons

I have a great collection of buttons, some new and lots of old ones.  I came across this challenge and thought it would be good to use some buttons on a picture frame I was altering.  I have used material flowers, wooden heart, clouds, sun and windmill, ribbon and bows.  And of course, lots of buttons.  I don't know who are in the picture, it came with the frame, which is white plastic, very light weight which is great as I am sending this altered picture frame across the world.

Brown Sugar Challenge No 46 - Graduation

The challenge at Brown Sugar this week is Graduation.  I've used an image from Eureka Stamps called Star Cluster which can be found HERE.  I have used the image twice, rotating one image 180 degrees, so that I could cover the front of the card with stars.  Typed a congratulation message on the card and created words from alpha called Pop School found at Lettering Delights.  Cut out the words to stick on the card.  I used lots of different colours and then added bling in different parts.

Fat-tastic Tuesday Challenge No 4 - Father's Day/Natural Elements

A 4 x 4 card for a man to celebrate his birthday/fathers day or just because you love him.

This is the sketch for challenge number 4, Fathers Day/Natural Elements.

The image I've used is called Morris and you can find him at Robyns Fetish Digital Stamps

Morris is coloured with Copic and Touch Pens, mounted on some brown cardstock and green papers.  The buttons are made from wood and the branch and leaves are some from the garden that I have dried, probably a couple of times a year I spend a few hours with my microwave press and dry different leaves, flowers etc.  A printed sentiment completes my fat page.  These little 4 x 4 cards are a great way to use up all those little bits of scraps in your stash. This one has a scrap of dark green and brown cardstock.

Is It Fathers Day?

Not in Australia, we celebrate Father's Day the first Sunday in September, but here is a card for later in the year.  I have used some die cuts from Hot off the Press, made it nice and easy, still getting over jet lag.  Added a Dad sentiment.

The Colour Purple

My Purple card has been made with  images and background paper from the Polkadoodles Sugar Plum Daisy CD.  Think I used just about every purple/mauve colour I had in my Copic and Touch Pen Collection.  Just to be a little different the card opens backwards, like I read the newspapers, used kindy glitter on her wings and flowers.

Black and White

This black and white card has an image from Dilly Beans called Happy Day.  The challenge this week was to use a Dilly Bean image and to make a Black and White project.  I have digitally coloured the image, giving the girl black hair and black eyes with white highlights, mounted image onto a white card, which I had typed a sentiment. Added White liquid pearls to the centres of the flowers and some pearls down the side.

Headstones and Graveyards

I found this epitaph on the internet, whether it is real or not I do not know, but it did give me a giggle.  I've included a close up of one of Anna's ghostly friends.  I've used copic pens to give the tombstone some shading and the grass and banana some colour.

Brown Sugar Challenge No 44 - Masculine Birthday.

I was able to use a Kenny K image called Anime Soccar for this Birthday card, you can find it and lots of other great images HERE.  I've coloured the image with copic and touch pens, printed words and alphabets, cut out stars and added a paper clip with a number on it.  I have used this template for Christmas cards, I decorate them to look like Christmas Trees, often sticking a little dot of velcro inside so they can stand up, this time I used the paperclip.  Easy to make, they do need a large envelope due to the shape when closed.  First picture is showing the card before it is decorated, the final picture gives you some idea of how to make these cards.

Fat-tastic Tuesday Challenge No 3 - Wedding

Theme this fortnight is Wedding w/ Die-cuts, Pearls, & Lace and I got to play with a cute Bugaboo Image called Couple Annoy and I also used the Couple Annoy sentiment, both can be found HERE.  The hearts are my die cut requirement, cut with my Ecraft machine, I've also added fabric and paper lace, pearls a bow and a sticker.  The image has been coloured with Copics and Touch Pens.

Song and Dance at Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge

The image 'Ballet of Words by tlc Creations I've printed and cut out the silhouette twice, mounted them on card and added the sentiment. Kept this weeks very plain (could be because I am very short of time at the moment).
