Give thanks

    Time for another challenge at Eureka Stamps. This week we would like you to give thanks. I have used digi number 22101 (oak leaf wreath) which I coloured using Promarkers.

Wine friends

   As always the theme for the challenge is anything goes.

   

   For my first card I have used the Sparkle N Sprinkle digi called 'wine friends' and coloured it using Promarkers. I then matted and layered it onto wine coloured core'dinations cardstock and white card. The accompanying sentiment was also matted onto the same coloured cardstock.

   For my second card I used digi number 15909 (Santa's List) from QKR Stampede and again used Promarkers to colour it. I cut it out using a Spellbinders classic square die and matted and layered it onto red core'dinations cardstock, cut using a Spellbinders scalloped square die, beige core'dinations cardstock and red card. I then attached a silver peel off sentiment.

Garden bear

   Our new challenge today at Eureka Stamps has the theme pets and animals.
   I have used Eureka Stamps digi number 1402 (garden bear) for my design. I coloured it using Promarkers and cut it out using a Spellbinders classic square die. I matted it onto yellow core'dinations cardstock which I had cut out using a Spellbinders leafy square die. I used similar smaller dies for the sentiment. For the background of the card I matted and layered sunflower paper from my stash onto yellow core'dinations cardstock and white card.

Cupcake jump

   When I saw this House Mouse stamp called 'Cupcake Jump' from Stampendous I could not resist it. These characters are so cheeky!
   I attached a thin strip of pink core'dinations cardstock to paper from Wild Rose Studio's pack called Icing on the cake. I then wrapped two rows of narrow satin ribbon round this before matting and layering it onto pink shiny paper and white card.
   I coloured the image using Promarkers and cut it out using a Tattered Lace oval die making sure that the mouse was outside the die. I thought this would emphasise the mouse jumping onto the cake. I then matted this onto pink core'dinations cardstock and attached it to the card.
   Finally I coloured a peel off sentiment and stuck this between the two rows of ribbon.

Autumn tea break

   For our challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and More this time we want you to use autumn colours.
I attached a cake decorated strip from my stash onto brick paper (also from my stash) and then matted and layered this onto red core'dinations cardstock and white card. I used the Tatty Twinkles stamp Coffee with friends coloured it using Promarkers and cut it out. I then attached it to the left hand side of the card using glue gel. Finally I matted the Happy Birthday sentiment onto white card and attached it to the card.

Halloween night

   Our theme for this week's challenge at Eureka Stamps is halloween.
   I chose to use digi image number 10103(431), Halloween border. I extended the image by adding the reverse of the first pumpkin to the end of the row and then coloured the image using Promarkers and distress inks, trying to create a glow of light behind the pumpkins. I also printed three additional bats and decoupaged them in the sky. I then matted it onto white card and surrounded it with silver peel off.
