Love To Create Challenge

Morning all.

It's time for a new challenge at Love to Create

This week our theme is 

Use The Colours Navy, Orange, Lemon and Lime.

Our sponsors this week are Bugaboo who kindly gave the DT some images to play with.

This is a sad challenge for me, as it's my last for Love to Create. I've had an absolute blast during my time on the DT and I'd like to thank the very lovely Jackie who has said that the Love to Create family will always have a place for me *sniff*

I've used Margaret Morning People for mine. This is me.... (minus the green hair)

Make it For The Kids

Our sponsor this week is LeeH Illustrations who very kindly let the DT pick images to use.

I picked this image to use (Boy With Football) and this is the birthday card I made for Scott from Andy and I. I was really chuffed when he opened it and gasped and said "It's the Barcelona colours". Phew. Job's a good 'un.

Happy Birthday

Our sponsor this week is Simply Betty Stamps, who like Scott, celebrated their birthday yesterday! I hope they had as much fun as we did ;)

Betty very kindly supplied images for us to use and I have to say that is one of the most difficult cards I've ever had to make as it was a commission for one of my Love to Create teamies - it's our Michelle!!

Say it With Flowers

Our sponsor this week is Sassy Studio Designs.

I've used Latte Momma for my card which I cropped down, I've used some Barenaked lyrics as the sentiment and the flowers are punched from brown wrapping paper - saw a packet of kraft flowers in Poundland through the week but decided not to buy them and then I found a roll of brown wrapping paper in the cupboard I thought it would be good to use instead! And cheaper ;)

Vintage Romance

Our sponsors this week are Tsunami Rose and Sami Stamps.

I've used a Sami Stamps image for my card - called With You. 

I decided just to print on Kraft and highlight with Copics. I've used a wheel stamp to very lightly stamp a vintage background and then in a darker brown ink I've stamped the floral flourish round the edges. Rather than add flowers I cut some tall Chloe stems (my birthday present to me) and I've added a wee die cut bow from a die set that my lovely friend gave to me for my birthday!

Anything Goes for a Child

Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo who very kindly supplied the DT with images to play with.

I had an idea that I would make a door hanging for one of the boys and what I had intended was to cut out letters to make Beware of the Boy.... but when I was looking through my Sizzlit alphabets I found this Boy's Zone sign. Which had never been used. And when I was looking for something else I found the bone! 

It almost became a card when I couldn't find anything boyish enough to make it into a door hanging. Then I remembered this jute twine I got from B&Q. Perfect!

Our sponsors this week are Milk Coffee and Di's Digi Downloads.

I've used a Milk Coffee image for my card which I've cropped down.

I've given her yellow coloured medicine as it reminded me of the Penicillin that the kids get that has to be kept in the fridge! 

I'm enjoying making circle cards just now. Just a change from my normal 6x6 square card and I love one layer cards even though they make me nervous that when I stamp the sentiment on after I've coloured the image.... just in case it goes wrong. Maybe I should do it the other way round.

Our sponsor this week are Dr Digi's House of Stamps and The Stamping Chef.

I've used a Dr Digi's image for my card called Wall of Sound.

I printed off an image of the Pink Floyd The Wall album which I found, surprise surpise, on Pinterest! and the card grew from there. This is so much better than that other card from last week ;) and no comparison musically either!

This week our theme is

Make it Sparkle With Bling

Our sponsors this week are

Flourish With A Bling and Sami Stamps.

I've used a Sami Stamps image for my card - Umbrella Splash and I've made the gems the raindrops on her brolly! I was going to add some bigger gems but they just didn't look right! I saw someone do a card with just a splash of colour on the actual image and it looked really effective so I decided to give it a go!

Button it Up

Our sponsor this week is Stamp Art By Kathryne who were kind enough to give the DT some images to play with.

I've used Little Bear Love You for my card but got to be honest, I'm disturbed that I didn't notice it said Luv U on his tshirt as I'm a bit of a spelling and grammar freak! 

I decided to just go with a CAS card because I found the little heart button and it sort of stemmed from there.  I made the card last week at The Crafty Cabin and I meant to take a wee Stampin' Up stamp I have which just has XOXOXO on it which I thought was perfect for the card. However, I stupidly forgot to take it with me so I ended up just using a Love stamp!

I used a Versamark ink pad to stamp some snowflakes all over the card blank, I'd forgotten how much I like that effect, it's a pity I'm not making any more Christmas cards until December (only joking if you're looking in Abi!)

Our sponsors this week are Eureka Stamps, Di's Digi Downloads and Dr Digi's House of Stamps.

This is our last challenge of 2013 so you've a couple of weeks to get your entries in.

I've used a Eureka Stamps image for my card - Matthew 2.  I felt it didn't need anything fancy doing to it so I just cut it out with a Nestie and added a holly corner die. This is a bigger card than I would do normally - it's a 7x7 but it suits the card.
