Craft my life

Good morning everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with another from my challenge to myself to use my existing stash with a Penny Black card. I have had these stamps for years but I have always been intimidated by colouring animals for some reason, but now I have challenged myself I am facing this fear head on! :-)
I coloured them with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Copics, then cut around it with a nestie. I used Bo Bunny papers and used the first paper as a mat for my image. I then made a background with panels of paper on brown and cream card and placed these on my card. I used a Memory Box die as a border cut out of Papermania cardstock, and added American Crafts ribbon to this. Lastly I added three buttons in coordinating colours and a 'Happy Couple' greeting.

Good morning everyone, sorry this post is a little late-I scheduled it but got the date wrong, silly brain! :-) Here is my DT card for the new challenge at Sarah Hurley Challenges this week which is 'Something Magical'. For this project I used Sarah Hurley's Fairyland CD with the only additions being die cut clouds behind my Sarah Hurley Rainbow clouds cut with a Memory Box cloud set, a Butterfly border also cut with a Memory Box die and Papermania Cardstock. I love, love, love this CD and I wonder why with all those Butterflies?! ;-)

Good afternoon everyone, here I am with my Guest design project for the lovely Christine Gray at My Crafting Heaven using her fabulous Lighthouse digi. I love this, its so simple but gorgeous to work with.
I coloured the image with Promarkers and Flexmarkers, then cut with a border of the while paper to give it a sketchy look. I then mounted this on white shimmery cardstock. I then used Papermania Burleigh Blue papers as my base.

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with a card using a new stamp by Wild Rose Studios with some free papers also by Wild Rose studios from a magazine. I coloured the image with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Copics, and made my clouds with a mask and dabbing ink from a paintbrush to create fluffy clouds :-) I also used Papermania cardstock, Wild Orchid Crafts Roses, Lace, Papermania bow, and Card Candy.

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with another of my cards from my challenge to myself-use the stash you already own in different ways. For this project I stamped my ship with brown Memento and coloured with Promarkers. I then distressed the image cut with a nestie with Tea Dye Distress inks and then distressed my Papermania Portobello Road papers with this ink too. I placed these on a Kraft card mat then placed them on a white card blank. I then embellished with Portobello Road ribbon, bow and buttons.

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with another one of the cards of mine to challenge myself to use what I already own to craft with and to create outside of my comfort zone!
I stamped the ship in brown memento and coloured with Promarkers, I then cut round with a nestie. I then coloured round the edge with Rusty Hinge Distress ink and mounted on shimmery brown cardstock cut with a scalloped nestie. I then used Bo Bunny papers as my base and left the bottom left hand corner open where I stamped the accent stamps directly on the Kraft card base with Black Memento. I then used a Memory box die to cut a border out of gold shimmer card and placed along the bottom, then added My Minds Eye Bloom and Grow fibres as my border on the opening edge of the card. Lastly I used wooden buttons as my embellishments.
