Blue and green challenge

Hi there!

It’s been a while since I played along with the Merry Monday challenge! This week was a colour challenge – blue/green/white or silver or vellum. I always find blue and green rather difficult to use. Not sure why, I just do! So I decided I should play along this week!

I used a cute die from Poppystamps – but once I’d cut the card, I realised the glitter snowman just didn’t stand out enough against the regular whit card stock, so I added a little bit of distress ink to define him a little more. I love how glittery this card is!

Thanks for stopping by!

LucieG.

Hi everyone! It’s time for a new @aaacardchallenge and this fortnight we are challenging you to use a stencil to create a CAS card. I chose a @johnnxtdoor stencil which I coloured with #distressoxide inks using my new detail ink blending tools. I also added a layer of glitter paste - it was interesting to see how the colour was changed by the glitter glue- I actually used dusty concord ink for the purple tree but it looks more like seedless preserves don’t you think? The sentiment is by @simonsaysstamp. I’m also entering this into the current #caschristmascardchallenge (tree). Hope you can play along with us! #johnnextdoor #johnnextdoorstencil #cosmicshimmertexturepaste #simonsaysstamp #aaacards #aaacardchallenge #christmascards #christmasinaugustcard #handmadecards

Happy Friyay everyone! My @altenewllc watercolours arrived this morning so I had a quiet afternoon swatching and playing with them! I even managed to finally ink up and colour this beautiful @simonsaysstamp floral image with them! I added a strip embossed with a @sizzix folder and a @mftstamps sentiment. I’m entering this into the current @colorthrowdown challenge (aqua, peach, light grey and white), the @freshlymadesketches challenge and the #sssflickrchallenge (anything goes). Have a great weekend! #altenewllc #altenewwatercolor #simonsaysstamp #sizzixembossingfolder #mftstamps #colorthrowdownchallenge #ctd506 #freshlymadesketches #luciegembossinggoal #handmadecards #birthdaycard

Hello! Thanks for your kind comments and DMs! They cheered me up during this painful week. 😣😣😣 I’m so relieved I was able to have meds, I dread to think what shingles must be like without them. So I haven’t been able to craft much but I did manage this card for my lovely mum and dad’s anniversary yesterday. The cat image is by @iostamps and I used a @mftstamps sentiment and dies from @ellenhutsonllc and @memoryboxco. #iostamps #impressionobsession #mftstamps #essentialsbyellen #ellenhutsonllc #essentialsbyellendies #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #distressink #anniversarycard #handmadecards

Hi everyone! I’m feeling very sorry for myself as I got shingles over the weekend. And it is so painful 😣 Luckily my doctor prescribed some meds, still waiting for them to kick in. I was able to finish this card after being inspired by @ellenhutsonllc #colortrendchallenge. I wasn’t too sure about the aqua as I wouldn’t usually put it with purples, but I liked it in the inspiration photo so I thought I’d try it! What do you think? The stamp is by @concordand9th and I used an #essentialsbyellen die. I’ve also entered this into the @freshlymadesketches challenge and the @wherecreativitymeetsc9 challenge (anything goes). #ellenhutsonllc #ellenhutsoncolortrendschallenge #ellenhutsondie #concordand9th #concordand9thstamps #turnaboutstamps #distressink #distressoxide #wherecreativitymeetsc9 #freshlymadesketches #handmadecards #thankyoucards

Happy Saturday! The heatwave’s over and it’s a typical British summer’s day (overcast, cool). I should be in the garden as some shrubs need serious attention, but instead I’m in the craft room playing with my new @averyellestamps Quirky Trees stamp set. Last month I told myself I would be more restrained with Christmas supplies this year- I have so much already! And what do I do as soon as the first release hits the stores?! At least I only got one set I suppose! I couldn’t wait to ink up those trees as soon as got them this morning (thanks @sevenhillscrafts for the super-fast shipping again). I’m entering this into the current @colorthrowdown challenge (grey, teal, pink) and the #caschristmascardchallenge (tree). #averyelle #averyellestamps #averyelledies #averyellequirkychristmas #altenewinks #colorthrowdown #colorthrowdownchallenge #ctd505 #handmadecards #christmasinaugustcard #christmascards

Happy Friyay everyone! I’m celebrating the return of the British summer (rainy, cooler) - the heatwave lasted far too long for me and my garden! And I’m also celebrating the three-week adoptoversary of my mum and dad’s new rescue, the very laid-back Oscar. Their resident cat, Minnie, is adapting to the new arrival and it’s fair to say she’s much less feisty than we were expecting! So, I inked up my latest @newtonsnook set and tried to reflect my parents’ kitties. Oscar loves his food, so guess which one he is (swipe to see real pics!). I’m entering this into the current #inkypawschallenge (summer/beach). Have a great weekend, all 💕 #newtonsnook #newtonsnookdesigns #newtonsnookstamps #newtonssummertreats #twinklingh2o #distressoxide #handmadecards #onelayercard

Hello friends! What did you do last weekend? Seems a distant memory now, but I stamped a gazillion alstroemeria using the amazing @altenewllc Peruvian Lily set. I wasn’t going to get this set at first as it’s a LOT of stamping for one flower (10 stamps!). But then I saw @jennifermcguireink’s stamped see-through card technique using them and I was sold! I couldn’t wait to try the press n seal technique Jennifer demonstrated! Genius! I changed how I made the card hinge as I was worried I would mess up my stamped images (swipe to see what I did and there’s more info on my blog!). Be warned crafty friends, if you get a card from me this month there is a very high probability that it will include an alstroemeria or ten 😂 I used #altenewinks for each layer and the sentiment dies are by @simonsaysstamp #altenew #altenewllc #altenewdies #altenewstamps #altenewbaf #altenewperuvianlily #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #peruvianlily #alstroemeria #handmadecards

Hello! It feels particularly hot and sticky here tonight. The heatwave is due to break later this week and I can’t wait! Anyway, I just wanted to share the card I made for two of my favourite challenges - @colorthrowdown and @freshlymadesketches. This week’s colour combo (black, white and copper) was quite challenging for me this week! Of course now that I’ve made the card, I have lots more ideas for the combo 🙄 The dies are by @poppystamps and I used a sentiment stamp from @clearlybesotted #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #clearlybesotted #clearlybesottedstamps #colorthrowdown #ctd504 #freshlymadesketches #handmadecards #birthdaycard #butterflycard

Happy Sunday! It’s time for a new @aaacardchallenge and this fortnight’s theme is ‘friendship’. So many ways to reflect this theme aren’t there? I decided to colour the fabulous @altenewllc ditsy print image with my #prismacolorpencils. This is what I was colouring the other day when I lost track of time and burnt my dinner 🙄. Hope you can play along with us! #altenew #altenewllc #altenewstamps #altenewditsyprint #handmadecards #aaacards #aaacardschallenge

It’s almost Friday people!! What a week! No crafting time 😐 and then when I finally got into my (oven-like) craft room this evening, I lost track of time colouring and burnt my dinner 😡 Anyway, here’s a card I made last week using a @pennyblackstamps die and @tim_holtz / @stampersanonymous stencil plus a few @tonicstudios nuvo glitter drops! #pennyblackdies #timholtz #timholtzstencils #stampersanonymous #stampersanonymousstencil #distressink #distressoxide #nuvoglitterdrops #christmasinaugustcard #handmadecards

Hi everyone! I thought I’d share the impossible card I made for the @craftsuloveltd DT. I have MOUNTAINS of patterned paper at home but I rarely use it, so when I was sent this gorgeous @primamarketinginc 12x12, I challenged myself to use it. I thought it would be great to use it to decorate an impossible card! The rosette was made from @mariannedesign_ dies and the sentiment is by @pennyblackstamps. Full details are on my blog. Have a great evening! #craftsulove #craftsulovedesignteam2018 #primamarketing #patternedpaper #pennyblackstamps #mariannedesign #mariannedesigndies #handmadecards #impossiblecards

Happy Sunday everyone! It’s been breezy and rainy here today, a lovely respite from the heatwave and so good for the plants! My craft room is so much cooler so I’ve spent most of the weekend in there! Here’s one of the cards I made using fabulous @memoryboxco dies and a @papersmooches stamp. I created the background with #distressoxide inks and glossy paper. I’m entering this into the current #memoryboxchallenge - nautical/beach theme. #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #papersmooches #papersmoochesstamps #handmadecards

Well... I survived the London Underground in crazy temperatures-35+ Celsius 😱 and made it home ok - I was so worried that the trains would be cancelled because of melting tracks! To celebrate I’m trying to craft with my two new #distressoxide inks, but my craftroom is still like an oven! Anyway, here’s the first card I made with them last night - loving these new colours! Dies are by @poppystamps , @simonsaysstamp and #presscutdies and I used the #casethissketchchallenge sketch as inspiration! Now I’m off to do a little rain dance, we desperately need it! #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #handmadecards #perfectpearls #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies

Hello! The colour palette for week’s @colorthrowdown challenge is cobalt blue, aqua, grey and white. The inspiration photo is a gorgeous Mediterranean Sea view and it’s 31 Celsius here.... so what do I think of when I see the combo? Christmas of course 🤷🏻‍♀️ I used died from @simonsaysstamp and @tonicstudios. I’m also entering this into the current @freshlymadesketches challenge, #ssswchallenge (use a die), #sssmchallenge (Christmas in July) and #sssflickrchallenge (favourite technique- inlaid die cutting). #colorthrowdown #colorthrowdownchallenge #ctd502 #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #tonicstudios #tonicstudiosdies #distressoxide #freshlymadesketches #handmadecards #christmasinjulycards

Hi everyone! It’s time for a new challenge at @aaacardchallenge and this fortnight’s theme is ‘rainbow’. I was inspired by a card that the talented @iminhaven created this week and this is my take. I used an older @poppystamps die and a @mse_mysentimentsexactly stamp. Hope you can play along with us! I’m also entering this into the current #poppystampschallenge and the #ssswchallenge (use a die or punch). #aaacardchallenge #aaacards #distressink #rainbowcards #poppystampsdies #poppystamps #simonsaysstamp #handmadecards
