Pink and Brown for Theme Thursday Challenge

The challenge this week on the Theme Thursday site was for Pink and Brown so instead of making a card I decided to make a bag similar to the blue one that I made last week.

This cute little bag is embellished with a scalloped edged piece of card front and back and layered up with brown paper that I had in my stash. The little perfume bottle is from Savvy Stamps and is on special offer at the moment on the Craft Fairy site.
The brown dotty ribbon is here, and the pink dotty ribbon is here.

How many of you are going to the Art Stamps Fair at Newbury at the weekend? If you are then please come along and say hello. Craft Fairy will be there with lots of goodies and demonstrations for you all. Please tell me if you read my blog as feedback is precious.

Vintage Lady with Striped Dress

Yet again, I'm drooling over new stamps and as the lovely producers have sent me samples I just had to get on with a card sraight away. I got the layout from Our Creative Corner and I was off. It is so similar to the layout on ICSketchers that I entered it for that too.

To make this card, you will need to use:
Vintage Lady 5, Unmouted rubber stamp from Stampinback
Sheer wine ribbon in 16mm width.
Art and Graphic pens from Kuretake to colour th eimage.

The Pink Elephant Challenge #21

The latest Pink Elephant Challenge #21 is for your favourite colour combination. Well.... those of you who know me well would be shocked if I used anything other than pink so here we are with pink and a little green.

Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge #38

The theme on Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge #38 is PRETTY PACKAGING. Well, I couldn't resist as I had a great idea that was all ready to go.

I just love this little bag that I made recently using the new fennel seed stamp from Stampinback . The stamp is coloured directly with the Art and Graphic pens from Zig, Kuretake in colours 308 and 58.

The two ribbons are blue saddle stitch in 9mm and 3mm.

Challenge #80 on Carte maniak'

Can this really be a card that I made. It is subtle and I don't usually do subtle.

However, I rather like it so I'm sticking with it for the challenge on Carte Maniak'. It's a French language site, but card sketches are pretty universal.
J'espers que j'aurais de la bonne chance.

Dare you to, Digi Stamp Challenge 13

Dare you to, Digi Stamp Challenge 13 is the inspiration for this card. I thought that Hopeful Harry who is just in at Craft Fairy, was the perfect subject for this challenge.

I must admit that th ephotography is not the best but the light is poor today and it was the best that I could do.

The stamp is Hopeful Harry and he is just in today. Let's hope that you get him before he sells out.

Happy crafting,

Yvonne

Now for something completely different

This card is not pink or particularly pretty but it is quirky. I like quirky so this is what I've come up with for the challenge over on Charisma Cardz Challenges and the Stamp Something Challenge and Cute Card Thursday. Nothing like killing three birds as it were. There was no theme on some but this card really suited the challenge on the other two blogs.

I have just coloured this stamp up for the web site and for sale at the Art Stamps fair at Newbury nekt week so it was just waiting to be used.
