Creative Card Crew & Copic Colour Challenges

This is my card for the Creative Card Crew and Copic Colour challenges.

I used one of the new Sugar Nellie images (Fragile Beauty) that I won in the CCC challenge a couple of weeks ago. Isn't she a little cutie and an absolute dream to colour. The papers are a download from Digi-chick, the sentiment Penny Black, the flowers are a mixture and the leaves cut with a Woodware punch. I used the Copic Colours RV11 - blouse, YO6 - butterflies (not much - don't do bright yellow) and E37 (no E39) on the jeans and hair.

******************

Oh Boy !! did this week's challenge take me out of my comfort zone. Rainbow colours - not really me, but I could cope with that, create a scene - great I love creating a scene - now came the bit that really had me 'stumped' - putting them together - EEEK!!! I went for the easy option of downloading a rainbow image and adding it to my scene which I then kept in fairly neutral colours. Tilda is coloured in distress inks, the mushrooms in Copics. I paper pieced the trees with Pink Petticoat downloaded papers and also used the same range of papers for the grass. The 'fence' is Basic Grey chipboard which I covered with the same paper as the tree bark then covered Glossy accents. The cow is a little die cut I've had forever - I put it in the field then thought - now you're being silly, so I took it off.
But I missed it, I think it looks great there - so I put it back.

I am also entering this card for the Magnolia Down Under challenge which is 'Moving to the Country' - I think this card qualifies for this challenge quite well.

I haven't done the inside (it took too long to do the outside lol) plus I'm not sure quite how to tackle the inside - suggestion welcome - please.

A Wedding Envelope for Stampacular

I couldn't do last week's challenge Stampacular challenge due a small problem - I kept eating the chocolate on the way home from the shop - consequently I never had any chocolate to make a holder for!! In the end I gave up.

Stampacular Sunday Challenge has Weddings as the theme for this week. I decided to make an envelope which can hold a cheque or gift voucher. I used Stempelglede grunge flourish stamps on a downloaded paper, decorated the edges with lace and gold braid, used a flourish heart stamp I bought the last time I was in Germany and embossed it with gold powder. The flowers are a mixture of hand made and bought. to which I attached a couple of gold rings. Not my normal type of card but I was in an experimental mood and have to say I can't make my mind up whether I like it or not.

Please do excuse the terrible photograph.

Eline's Baby does Sketch Saturday

Here's my interpretation of the sketch at Sketch Saturday - I think the only way I have deviated is to turn it upside down.
I used Eline Pellinkof image that the lovely Larissa sent me. I have long been an admirer of Eline's designs so you can imagine how puzzled I was when I found an Email from her in my Inbox - I just kept staring at it - wondering what she had emailed me for, when I eventually got round to opening it WHOOHOO - she was asking if I minded her featuring one of my cards on her blog - did I MIND !! I was over the moon I can tell you and so honoured and flattered that the designer herself would want to feature one of my cards.

I used papers downloaded form the Sweete Shop and coloured the image with pastels. The sentiment is on the outside is Inkadinkado and on the inside Personal Impressions.

******************************
I like to keep my Wedding/Anniversary cards fairly simple and so chose to use the cuttlebug Swiss Dot folder at the top and print the image at the bottom. I coloured the image with
Copics, Stickled the streamer, added a few die cut hearts to which I added glossy Accents and finished with a simples sentiment and a ribbon.

I mirrored the outside on the in, but turned it upside down and added an Anniversary verse and have just realized I haven't left anywhere to write - will have to decorate the left inside and leave space for a message.
