Colour Create Pink and Grey

Wow - card number four for Colour Create - where has that month gone. Anyhoo, colour combo is for pink and grey this week, so I used a Tilda image, coloured with Promarkers and a new stamp - the chair from Alota - and Basic Grey paper. I also went to 'play' at a friend's this week and discovered that she had a much coveted Martha Stewart punch!! She kept that quiet! So used that for the edging of the card and the grey DCWV card stock. Ribbon was from stash. Tried really hard not to overdo the embellishing so just added a few pearl accents and voila! Another great colour combo from the team at CC!



Thanks for visiting me!

Ask and you will receive!!

Having said that I had hardly any suitable stash for the Colour Create challenge this week, my Basic Grey sale stuff arrived today and its got lots of lovely navy and red papers. So I might just make another card using it! Plus I wasn't so pleased with the water colouring of my first one below so it's a good excuse to make another card. Watch this space.

Oh and if any of you blog hoppers could leave me a message on how to link to my blog when leaving a comment in a blog, I'd be soooo pleased if you could let me know!!! THANK YOU!!!

The Old Red, White and Blue!!

This is my card for the Colour Create Challenge this week. I loved the colour scheme this week - Red, White and Blue - and didn't think I'd have any trouble. BUT... I have hardly any navy paper or navy promarkers. It's just added a load of new must haves to my stash wish list!! Card is for my Dad, who was knocked off his bike on Sunday - luckily, just a bit shaken and bruised, but thought it fitted in well with the colour scheme and the optional extra of travel!!

Colour Create Challenge

Just adding this in by the skin of my teeth, I think. Colours for this week are Peach and aqua - not two colours I would normally use and looking at other entries, alot of crafters seem to think the same! Having said that, I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed using the colours so it just goes to show it's good to step out of your comfort zone!! Really stretching the optional hand made flower element, does my background flower cut out of a sheet of paper count? Hhmmmmm! Anyway, thanks for looking and I'd be delighted to know your thoughts!

My first Blog Challenge Card for Colour Create

Well here's my card and decided not to use a stamp. Hope you'll like it enough to leave some comments!!

New Colour Create Challenge

Just seen this new weekly challenge on Colour Create and thought I would have a go - their first weekly and challenge and mine. I love colour in cards so thought it very appropriate to my style too. Lots of lovely, creative people whose work I have often admired have set up the challenge so go and check it out!

PIF Blog Candy - how bad am I!!

I've finally made myself sit down and catch up with my blog! I feel terrible as I had so promised to keep up! I wish I could blog at work as it would be a great thing to do in my lunch hour! I keep taking a quick peek at everyone else's blogs too and you all manage to keep on top of them - my hat is off to you all.

Anyway, back to the card making and back in November 2008 (groan, my bad!), I won some Pay it Forward blog candy from Caroline. Back then, I should have passed it on to the first three people to leave a comment on this card - well better late than never!

This is a Valentine's for my hubby, made with Cosmo Cricket papers and Primark PJ ribbon!
