Easter Pastels

Woohoo.  I've been allowed to play along as a guest designer for the Incy Wincy Challenge blog, where I used to be one of the DT members.  I'm sooooooooo delighted that I got a bit carried away and made 2 cards !!!!

This week the theme is Easter and Pastel colours.  Our sponsor is Care2Stamp and they sell the most gorgeous range of stamps from the likes of Wild Rose Studio, Whimsy Stamps, Your Next Stamp, CC Designs and Popcorn the Bear.

Like I say, I got a bit carried away and made 2 cards, both using Wild Rose Studio images.  The first one uses Milton with Lily and the second one is Fergus with Bouquet.

I'm not so sure that the first one entirely fits the bill of the pastel colours, but as I made it, I thought I'd share it with you, and I just loved the image so much.  I hope you agree!






Please see my cards for sale, available on my eBay listings :

And look what I get too !!!!  How fab, my very own badge !!  I feel officially part of the team (OK, it is just for a week, but it's still my very own "designer's" badge)



Pop on over to the Incy Wincy Challenge blog to play along with the challenge this week. I can't wait to see all your creations.

Cosy Winter Owl

Sadly, this is my last card as a member of the Incy Wincy design team.  I've had a fabulous time since I joined in February, and made some great friends.  But life has gotten busier for me in the last couple of months, and is going to get even busier with changes in my day job (the one that gets in the way of my crafting) in the new year.  I'm struggling to find the time to be as creative as I like, and I need to ensure that I'm not taking on more than I can cope with.  Something had to 'give', and sadly I've had to cut down on my design team work.

I want to thank all my wonderful teamies, and I just know that all the new girls who are just joining the team from Jan 2012 will have a great time.  I'll still pop along to play the challenges from time to time, and the wonderful Chris has asked me to come back and guest design occasionally.  How could I say no!!!

For my last challenge the theme is Winter Wonderland.  We're sponsored by Meljens who have kindly supplied some digi images for the design team to showcase.  I've used frosty sparkle papers, and added fluffy stuff for the snow on the branch.  This was a really simple card to make, especially as I've not added too much in the way of fuss.  I love the focus to be on the shape, and so didn't want to detract from the card by adding lots of embellishments.

Trees Galore & a DT Call

There is a new challenge today at Incy Wincy, and the theme to play along with this week is Trees.  We're sponsored by Limited Runs who have kindly supplied some digi images for the design team to showcase.  I chose 'Single Pine', although I then used it 3 times (so maybe not so single any more!).  I love combining images, and not only used the tree 3 times, including flipping the image horizontally before I used it on the right hand side of the card, but I also added a Magnolia image to create more of a scene.

Stitch it up

There is a new challenge today at Incy Wincy, and the theme to play along with this week is Stitch it Up.  We're sponsored by Tiffany Doodles who have kindly supplied some digi images for the design team to showcase.

Although it doesn't show very well, the front row of trees and the bambi are cut out and raised on foam pads. All the trees are glittered too and look really effective in real life! The snow on the ground is torn card strips with more glitter.

Gone Fishin'

There is a new challenge today at Incy Wincy, and the theme to play along with this week is Recycle.  We're sponsored by Prairie Fairy Designs who have kindly supplied some digi images for the design team to showcase.  My recycling is the ribbons. The wide chiffon orange ribbon was saved from an old Christmas cracker, and the thin brown ribbon was from a blouse.  You know those little ribbons that are in womens' tops, that are meant to hook over the hanger and keep the shoulders from slipping off when it is hanging up?  Well all they seem to do for me is hang outside the neckline when I'm wearing the top. So I cut them out. And recycle them of course !!!

With the brown papers and orangey gold ribbon, it seems a bit seasonal with autumnal colours.

De-stressing with Distressing

There is a new challenge today at Incy Wincy, and the theme to play along with this week is distressing. This is not my normal technique, so bear with me on this one !!!  I've torn, sanded, inked and generally done everything I can to ruin 3 layers of perfectly lovely bits of card, all in the name of distressing.  It just seems to go against the grain for me!  I've also used two twinkly white ribbons but they don't show up much in the piccy.

We're sponsored by the fabulous StampFairy who have kindly supplied some cute digi images for the design team to showcase.

Make your own flowers

There is a new challenge today at Incy Wincy, and the theme to play along with this week is "Make your own flowers".  We're sponsored by our very own Nikki of Limited Runs who has kindly supplied some digi images for the design team to showcase.

I made a little box base, put my row of pumpkins along each edge and the stary one as a tag, and set off to make my flowers.  They took me literally hours to make, but I do like the effect.




Each petal was cut out separately in the shape of an elongated pear; 12 large 'pears' and 18 small ones.  I then folded each petal in half lengthways, and then folded the sides backwards slightly to take the shape of petals.  I then cut out a snowflake in green as the base of the flower (the snowflake had 6 "sticky out bits" to glue the base petals to!)  I cupped the snowflake and taped it into a cup shape, and filled it with wet glue. I then started to layer my petals into the shape, 2 rows of large petals and 3 rows of smaller petals.  

And 3 hours later I had 4 huge handmade flowers !!!

Lion Box

There is a new challenge today at Incy Wincy, and the theme to play along with this week is 'Not a Card'.

We're sponsored by the beautiful images of MelJen Designs who have kindly supplied some digi images for the design team to showcase.

I made a 2 boxes out of card, one slightly larger than the other so they fitted together as base and lid.  I then cut a nestie label and stuck one onto the base (so the patterned side was stuck to the base so it shows when the box is the right way up) and the other label to the lid which I then decorated.
