Dream Valley 14 - Citrus Colour Theme

Hiya!

It's time for another challenge from Dream Valley! This time we want you to use our citrus colour scheme: 

Don't you just love those fab, zingy colours??? Just perfect for brightening up this lovely, erm "Summer" we're having! We are lucky enough to be sponsored by Stitchy Bear who gave the DT some fab images to play with and are giving our lucky winner $10.00 to spend in their store :-)

I chose to use Flight of Fantasy Silhouette on my card:

I've been a good girl and used up some leftover paper scraps for this one.... The yellow gingham and orange flowers papers are from Crafts Too and the green is limeade filigree from Doodlebug. I've matted onto different coloured card and then onto black to make them stand out a bit. The ribbon and brads are from my stash and then I've made another of my scrunchy flowers using some lemon card cut with scalloped circle nesties.... I've added a bit of faux stitching around the edges using a brush marker.

I've followed the fab sketch over at Cupcake Craft Challenges.

Right.... Another busy day today. I need to get some more done on my allotment and I've got the two littl'uns to entertain.... I'm fast running out of ideas. Why do they make the summer hols so long? We've done everything and been everywhere. Twice! We made some yummy gingerbread men yesterday... perhaps we should decorate them???

Enjoy the rest of the weekend! And don't forget to pop over to Dream Valley to see all the zingy loveliness the other DT members have created :-)

Love 'n' hugs,

Dream Valley Challenge 5 - Easter

Hiya!

It's time for another challenge over at Dream Valley. This time the challenge is all about Easter and we've been sponsored by Stitchy Bear. The DT were given some fab images to play with. The image I've used is Easter Egg Lillie and you can find her here.

I coloured her with promarkers and layered up the egg to give a more 3D effect. I cut it out with my nesties and sponged ink through the die to give the grass and sky effect. Oodles of glitter glue - can you see it? I never seem to get it across in my piccies very well!!!!

I used:

Image - Easter Egg Lillie, Stitchy Bear

Promarkers, glitter glue

Papers - Pink Petticoat,Vintage Rose

Letter stickers - Yellow Moon

Sentiment stamp - Daisy and Dandelion

Nesties

Border punch - Leafy lace, Xcut

Gems - stash

Challenges:

A spoon full of sugar - All creatures great and small

Creative inspirations - Easter

Now, I know I've not been around much this past week. I hope you'll forgive me! It's the Easter hols and my little cherubs are at home so I'm spending a lot of my time at the park keeping them entertained :-) I'm afraid it's likely to be the same next week too, so please bear with me. But I still have cards that need making and they'll all need to go on my blog at some point so do keep your eyes peeled :-)

I've also been keeping my family out of mischief on my allotment..... If you want to see what we've been up to, please pop along and have a look at my allotment blog. Check out the early piccies. Such a change!

Better be off. Things to do! Such a busy girl :-)

Love 'n' hugs,
