Aloha Flower - A Day For Daisies/Incy Wincy

Heevin' peeps!

Where does the week go? It's time for another new challenge over at Incy Wincy.

This week our challenge is Tic Tac Toe and our fab sponsor is A Day For Daisies where the lucky winner will receive a very generous $12.00 Gift Certificate!

I chose the Aloha Flower 1 image and from the Tic Tac Toe board I picked - Add Some Metal - Flowers - No Sentiment. 

Here is my little card...

Items needed...

Digital stamp: Aloha Flower 1 - A Day For Daisies

Card stock: white

Promarkers: Fresh Bloom*, Fuchsia Pink, Mulberry
Brads: black
Adhesives

* Limited Edition Colours

This is only a little card - 10cm square, perfect for a little note card. 

I haven't used brads on my projects for a while. You don't seem to see as many about as you did a few years ago. I guess trends come and go. I like brads, but sticking a self adhesive gem or pearl onto your project is much quicker and less fiddly. Maybe one day they will come back with a vengeance! Bwah ha ha! The brads will have their day....

I'll sign off for now, thanks for visiting and happy crafting! x

Chubby Flower Garden - A Day For Daisies/Incy Wincy

Good heevnin' peeps!

We have a lovely new challenge this week at Incy Wincy - flowers and lace. We also have two sponsors this week - A Day for Daisies (winner will receive a $12 gift certificate) and Craft Classes Online (winner will receive one seat in an online class).

I chose a lovely simple design called Chubby Flower Garden and here it is...

Coloured by Cosmic Strawberry - Image by A Day for Daisies

What you need...

Digital stamp: Chubby Flower Garden - A Day for Daisies

Card stock: white

Promarkers: Ice Grey 1, Lime Twist, Magenta, Mandarin, Yellow

Lace: white cotton
Decorative pins: orange, pink, yellow
Gems: black
Rub-on sentiment: Making Memories

What you do...

Print the image onto white card.

Colour in and mat onto a white A6 top fold landscape blank and trim away any excess.

Tie a knot in the lace and fix to the bottom of the blank so the knot is towards the left hand side.
Push three decorative pins through the knot and finish with the sentiment and a few black gems.

I think this is so clean, fresh and spring like! Very quick to make too :o)

Do you fancy a browse through some gorgeous digis or want to take a class to learn a new craft technique? If you click on a sponsor badge below you will be taken to their store.

If it's inspiration you are after, then look no further than the lovely samples my talented teamies have created over at Incy Wincy.

Okay my lovelies. I'm going to say ta ta for now. Thanks for looking and I'll be back soon with another 'make' to show you. :o) x

Creepy Mushroom - A Day For Daisies/Incy Wincy

Good morning all! 

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend. 

Ooh! Before I get down to business - Happy Birthday Mum!

This week over at Incy Wincy Designs we have a colour challenge for you...

Chilli Color - Design Seeds®

and our sponsor this week is A Day For Daisies and you can win a $12.00 GC (equivalent to 3 digis)!

Here is my challenge card...

A Day For Daisies has some of the most gorgeous digi-stamps. I fell in love with this creepy little design and as the colour challenge has an autumnal theme to it, I knew it would be perfect for a Halloween card.

What you need... 

Digi-stamp: Creepy Mushrooms - A Day For Daisies

Card stock: brown, red, white

Ink pad: Vintage Sepia - Versafine

Promarkers: Firewood, Pine, Tawny Owl, Winter Berry

Baker's twine: red

Button: red

Adhesives

What you do...

Download, print and colour the mushroom image. 

Stamp a simple sentiment near the image.

Cut out so that the edges look torn and ink the edges with the Vintage Sepia.

Create a 12cm square top fold blank in brown card, mat an 11cm piece of red card centrally, so the top is in line with the fold of the blank.

Make a long banner in brown card and fix to the left of the red panel.

Mat the image onto the blank, near the top.

Add a red button to the bottom of the banner and finish with red twine wrapped and tied around the blank.

I think this makes for a unusual and different Halloween card; a break from the normal colours of black, orange, purple and lime. 

Why not head on over to Incy Wincy Designs and have a look at the fantastic creations my teamies have come up with?

I'll be back later with the amusing little card I've made for my mum. Until then - TTFN xx
