Help!

I am having problems with blogger.

I am unable to write comments on some blogs, although I can write the comment and it just disappears,

It is not happening with all blogs.

Can anyone advise please

Teal butterfly

Todays card uses Indigo Blu stamps and a piece from a designer paper block. I stamped in Adirondack Expresso, and overstamped the flowers and butterfly (on a scrap of paper) with DI Broken China. Finished off with some toning bakers twine and a little bling

Hello!!!

This crazy bird which I have coloured with Copics has just popped in to say Hello!
He is popped up onto a pretty gingham background with the edges sponged in distress ink, and the hello is from a set by 'Wow'

Challenges - Allsorts - use gingham

Happy crafting!

Yay!

I am running so late with my challenges this week - it has been a really busy week, plus we now have 2 grandchildren staying and their Dad.

I have used another of my Brusho backgrounds, and stamped one of the crazy birds. I stamped him again on a scrap, and coloured with copics to tone in with the background, cut it out and layered it directly over the image on the card. I added some googly eyes for the challenge at AAA cards.

The colours and bird are also perfect for challenge  #36 at Paperbabe

I hope everyone has a great week, it has suddenly turned very cold here, but then it is mid-winter after all!

Who is for Coffee?

I have printed the lovely free image from Shery at Stamplorations, directly onto my card front. I printed it again on a scrap so that I could layer the two cups, which I coloured with copics. The dotty background is from a lovely stamp by Paperbabe, and the message I found on a quote website (I loved the pun) I am joining in at the coffee lovers blog hop
and also at Stamplorations Anything goes challenge, and Pixies Crafty Workshop

CASEing!

My second post for today!
I used two of the stamps from the Wetlands set, that I have just bought, onto a scrap of white card, adding a little colour sponging with di's.
I diecut it with a circle die, and cut another slightly larger black piece. I then layed them onto a kraft card base, and added 3 black tiny circles to finish
This is my entry for the Caseplorations June challenge

And also Happy Little Stampers - Anything goes with dies

Happy Birthday!

I made this card for a 7 year birthday which is coming up next week. He is a big fan of minecraft. I used 2 pieces of dp, and joined them diagonally, diecut the circles, the image Mr Google found for me!! The arrows and the message are embossed with silver ep.
I would like to enter this one at Casplorations for the June sketch

I would also like to add it to Crafty Hazelnuts patterned paper  challenge, as I have used 2 different papers

watercolour

For this card I cut my friends name in vinyl with my Silhouette, then used 3 shades of watercolour paint and washed them over the name. When it was dry, I removed the vinyl, and went around the edge with a very fine black pen.
Challenges
AAA Cards - watercolour

even more Brushos

I have had quite a productive day today In my craftroom. This is another background made with Brushos and the cling wrap technique. You never quite know how it is going to turn out. I used purple and turquoise, and I am very pleased with the result.
I stamped some assorted flowers and message from a Paper Artsy set, and stamped the flowers again on magenta card, which I cut out and paper pieced. I also went over some of the lines with my Sharpie white paint pen.
Challenges -
Rubberdance - use purple, turquoise & magenta, and optional flowers
Pixies Crafty Workshop - I used snippets for the flowers

More Brushos

My card today uses another brusho background in shades of blue and green. I have layered it onto a black card, and used a word stamp (dream) randomly onto it. The indigo blu stamps were used with versamark and detail white ep.

Soccer!

There is a Sporty themed challenge on over at LOTV, but I will have to email this entry to them.
I have simply layered the trimmed image onto red, then yellow, and then did the same for the message. I am also sending this one over to Pixie's Crafty Workshop, because I have raided my snippets box!

Brushos and a butterfly

I was looking through my box of Brusho pieces, and chose this one to use.
I have layered it onto a yellow card and then added an embossed strip down the side layered on to black. The butterfly is a Martha Stewart stamp which has been lying idle in a drawer for too many years. I stamped it onto a snippet of orange card, and added some glitter and Wink of Stella. Birthday wishes are from a set that I won from Paperbabe stamps. I would like to enter this into the challenges at Paperbabe: using a sketch
Southern Girls: layers
and of course Pixie's Crafty Workshop, cos I used snippets!

birthday wishes

It has been a rather dull day today, so I have been busy playing in my craftroom.
Stamplorations have a challenge to use magenta, and I saw a card recently similar to my one. Sorry I can't remember where!
I stamped the writing stamp byTH off the edge of the page and then overstamped with a lovely flower from Rubberdance. The message is stamped with Memento tuxedo black.
I am entering in the May challenge at Stamplorations, and also the Happy Birthday challenge at Allsorts  and the 2nd birthday challenge at AAA cards

Paperbabe

Today's card is for the challenge at Paperbabe

I stamped the image on white card with Memento tuxedo black,  trimmed it, and layered onto a leftover piece of turquoise card that was on my desk. I tore across the bottom edge, added a flower from my stash, coloured only the butterfly, and glued in some matching beads to the centre of the flower.

I can also add this one at Pixies Crafty workshop

Thanks for looking, and have a great week

Caseing Shery

Here is my entry for the May challenge at Caseplorations.
I stamped the background with a variety of leaves, and then used a stamp from Darkroom Door for the message.

I have tried to follow Shery's style, so hope you like it

a little bit vintage

Today's card features this lovely bird stamp from Crafty Individuals. I stamped it on a piece of textured card, and coloured with copics. The circle is also cut from the same scrap of card. The background is DP which I added some coloured to with tattered rose di, (masking off the centre first) The edges are distressed, with a little lace tucked in here and there, and then (very) roughly stitched around. The whole thing was then attached to a white card. I don't know who the branch diecut is from, it was a leftover from a class I did
I would like to enter this at Crafty Individuals for a/g
Rubberdance for vintage brown, dusky blue, & faded rose
Allsorts for vintage
Pixies crafty workshop (I used snippets of lace and textured card)

Have a great week and happy crafting
