Here we are again my crafty friends another 2 weeks of the you know what..., but glad we've got our crafts to keep us going.  The winners have been announced over at My Time To Craft for the last challenge, while your there check out the inspiration from fellow DT members.

The new challenge is about colouring on craft card, you can use any type of medium e.g. pens, pencils, water colours or acrylics to mention a few...

Here is what I made, having some of the key workers in mind. 

The stamp I used is from Art Impressions.  I used archival ink to stamp onto the kraft card then coloured the image using my copic pens.  I then chose my background and sentiment from The Paper Tree Hope & Sunshine Paper Collection.  My go to glue that I like to use is Collall by Crafters Companion.

Kraft, black and white card were from stash along with foam pads.

My Time to Craft -12th June Challenge # 434 'Summertime'

Hello my fellow crafters, I hope this finds you well and safe.  

Winners from last challenge have been announced over at My Time To Craft.   Be sure to check out the DT makes to help inspire you.

This Challenge is all about summertime and this could be sand, beach, sea, ice lollies, ice cream etc.

I had fun with this one, as it sparked so many happy childhood memories.

I used Tattered Lace 'by the seaside' die which I cut using super smooth white card.  I snipped the border off the cut out image.  I then went on to colour the die cut with my copics   alcohol markers.  The sunshine die is from one of the many magazines I have, too may to go through to find out which one.  The background was card I had in my stash along with the white card.

I  have entered my card into the following challenges:

Angies Digital Stamps Challenge - CH. #43- AG/OPT TWIST SUMMERTIME

WWODTeam Challenge - Anything goes

Till the next time stay safe and take care x

My First Wiper Card

Morning, 

I would like to share with you my first wiper card but first let me tell you how it came about.  I don't know if your aware but every friday Craft Stash has a live facebook and they have guest designers, tutorials, tips and hints and best of all the chance to win goodies.  Who doesn't like a giveaway!  Well that's where I saw Sam Calcott's wiper bundle and tutorial and thought how cool they looked and so I bought a set.  

As is my normal way of working I find an image colour it and then decide what I'm going to make with it.  It just so happened I had just finished colouring in a few digi stamps I bought from Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez, so when I saw this set it gave me inspiration for Patricia's Duck .   Turns out its a very mucky duck..

I had a bit if frustration but also a lot of fun making this card.... 

Kinda Cute

OMG I was getting really frustrated with my computer as it just wouldn't print images in the size I wanted, nor would it find my other printer when I tried, so I decided it was time for a clean up on my computer, and the files I had duplicated were an eyeopener. I dare say I have many more duplicates, but there is only so much cleaning you can do before you go bog eyed lol.  I get easily distracted too, (that was a common theme on my school report) something caught my eye and off I went and I ended up on a canny site called Kinda Cute by Patricia Alvarez.  I like what I saw so decided to buy a couple of her digi's and dust the cobwebs off my Copic pens and get creative.

These are some of Patricia's Kinda Cute Digi's that I have been colouring ready for my next project's.  I used my copic pens on all of the images.

Here is one of my finished cards, using my copic pens to colour, background was downloaded from The Craft Blog by trimcraft and the sentiment is a bugaboo one and card is from my stash.

Till the next time take care, stay safe....
