Playing in the playground again this week, and this is a great way to use up some of those snippets! It does not need much explanation - it is just cutting, tearing, layering, and a bit of doodling. Plus some rub-on lettering' I would like to enter this one in

Cute Christmas

Another one for the Christmas box, using a cute image from a Penny Black set. I have coloured with copics and promarkers, and mounted the die-cut onto a dp with Christmas trees on.

CAS Fridays

I had a quick play this afternoon and ended up with this card. I swiped an aqua ink pad down the card a couple of times to make the background. Then stamped the flowers and the message with Shades dye ink in Orange, and coloured the stems with a green copic.
This is for the challenge at

masculine

This week's challenge at
 Cuttlebug Mania is for manly - a good choice as I always need more men's cards. The car stamp is a very old one by Santa Rosa, and I have embossed with detail blackIt is layered onto the embossed background (run through the cuttlebug) and the spotty tape is washi tape.

Celebrations

Another card for Pixie's Playground, only small snippets used this week to make the 3 silver balloons! I have used my new stamp from Stampin' Up - Make a wish set, and stamped onto a piece of bright yellow card. I tied a silver ribbon around, and drew the strings with a silver Sakura pen. The balloons are punched and raised with mounting tape. Then layered it onto plain white card. Challenges:-

Have a great weekend

Tea Time!

For this card, I have used a number of Crafty Individuals stamps. I first coloured the background with distress inks, and also added the dots with bubble wrap stamping/ I coloured the bird and the cup decorations by hand with di's also. Finished off with layering onto a card which I had distressed the edges and added some vintage lace and some little embroidered flowers which I coloured to match.

Embossing

This cute stamp from Suzy's Zoo set called Slippery Slope has been stamped twice and the images from the second one cut out and  layered onto the first. The background is a cuttlebug embossing folder which I have trimmed, and highlighted with a gold Sakura pen. I have used copics and Promarkers to colour, and trimmed the card with a punched flower.
