Die Cut Dreams Challenge #94 Animal Antics

Hi everyone, what a miserable day it is but to help brighten it up it is time for our next challenge at Die Cut Dreams.

ANIMAL ANTICS (must have four legs).

Our sponsor this week is Crimson Cloud.

So here is my DT card....................

I have used a Penny Black image from the It's Your Day set. I have just used a bit of Stardust gel pen on the present and to darken his fur. The tags have been done using Dusty Concord and Black soot distress inks and stamped with a stamp from a Hero Arts set called I Love My Cat.

The grey card has been die cut and embossed using one of the fantastic new folders from X Cut - Gardinia. I distressed the embossing and then put some little purple gems on the flowers.

Have fun and I can't wait to see what four legged animals you show us.

Aud Sentiments Challenge #31 Food or Drink theme

Oh dear everyone so sorry this is late. I would have scheduled my post but my Mum was rushed to Hospital yesterday evening with a suspected stroke. All is well however, she is back home and she is fine - no stroke. BUT I did spend a rather sressful 20 minutes driving to the Hospital with all sorts of horrible things going through my mind so when the Nurse said she was OK I burst into tears!!!! I felt so stressed and relieved at the same time.

Anyway thank you for another fantastic set of entries to our last challenge and check out the Aud Sentiments site to see who won and our top 3 - it was tough.

This fortnight we would like to see Food and Drink related theme and sentiment.

The sponsor is Robyns Fetish and we could choose some images to use. I have used The Teapot and here is my creation.

I did try to do one in a different theme but didn't finish it in time.

Please check out my team mates for some more inspiration - their links are on my sidebar.

Flower Power

Good evening everyone, hope all is well in blogland! I am not at my most productive at the moment and Mr Mojo is on holiday but I did manage to have a play at one of my favourite sites at the moment - Less Is More - who want a one layer card and a frame. I have used a Cuttlebug embossing folder called Flower Circle - I thought it would be just right. Then I added some purple, yellow and green glitter and finished it off with a sentiment from my last candy win - Cute Greetings by Wild Rose Studio.

Believe me it looks a lot better in real life - my photos suck at the moment!!!! Ho Hum!!!

I would also like to enter this card in the challenge at Birthday Sundaes - Wet or dry embossing and Totally Gorjuss - Flower Power.

Die Cut Dreams Challenge #91

Hi everyone, hope you are having a good day. It's Monday and time for the next challenge at Die Cut Dreams and do we have a great one for you.

It is a recipe:-

3 Flowers,

3 Stamps and

a Bow

Here is my card and I hope you find some inspiration ...

The three stamps I have used are the Flower Fairy - Candytuft and the butterfly and border stamp from the same set. I have had these for some time - can't imagine why I haven't inked her up before. She has been coloured with watercolour crayons. The background papers are from the Flower Fairies CDRom Candytuft and Canterbury Bell. I have used copious amounts of crystal glitter!!!!

I didn't have the right colour of ribbon so I used a white satin ribbon coloured with a pink Promarker - best tip I have ever found as you can match any ribbon colour.

Here is a closeup of the flowers and butterflies.

Aud Sentiments Challenge #29 Male Sentiment

Hi everyone, hope you are all well. Firstly, I need to make an apology to all those of you who played in our last challenge because I was unable to comment on your entries - blogger seems to be playing up and it just wouldn't let me comment.

Anyhow on to our next challenge which is to use a MALE SENTIMENT.

We are being sponsored by

who let us have a few images to play with.

As Father's Day is coming up I thought I would get a head start

I used the sketch at The Sweet Stop which needs to have a masculine theme.

I hope you will play along at Aud Sentiments and don't forget to check out my team mates blogs for some more inspiration - their links are on my left sidebar.
