Halloween colours at whoopsi daisy

Hello there! How are you? I hope you are well and happy and here's a hug if you're not - hope that might help! Thanks for your comments on yesterdays card - its always nice to hear what you think.

Today its time for a new challenge at (cutedaisymay) whoopsi daisy - this will be my last challenge on the team - I just feel its time to move on. The final challenge is Halloween colours and I've made a tag for this challenge using sheet 445 .

I really enjoyed making this background - I used red and yellow radiant rain and a sponge to create the coloured background then when dry used versamark to add the webs and black wow powders and heat set. The image was coloured with promarkers and fussy cut before adding to the tag.

I'd like to enter this tag into the following challenges:

I've also got some treat bags I made for my girls and the two children we're visiting on Halloween:

They are all the same - and have lots in them!!! I think they'll go down well! One side includes a panel made using Imagination crafts stencil and sparkle medium. The other side includes an image from Nicecrane designs. I'd like to enter these into ABACanythingbutacard: orange and black.

Thanks for joining me today and I look forward to hearing what you think! Big Hugs! Rachel

p.s. I'm off to see my crafty ladies this morning - we're doing the shaving foam again - back by popular demand - but combining it with fantasy film and fibres in a bookmark. I;ll try to remember my camera and let you see what we all get up to! Hugs xx

Autumn at whoopsi daisy

Morning all! How are you? I do hope you are well! I'm alarmed at how fast this year is going - in less than a week I'll be doing the great North run for Asthma UK. Fingers crossed that this time next week I'm telling you that it all went well!!!! Thanks to those of you that have sponsored me - and if anybody else out there thinks they can it would be wonderful - here's a link to my justgiving page. Don't worry if you can't though - times are hard - we all know that! And if you do visit - it looks like I've only got £90 - but I'm actually close to my target - I've got sponsor forms here at home plus the money I made from the coffee morning so I'm close to target!

Today at Whoopsi Daisy there is a new challenge starting - this time its all about autumn and this is the card I made for the challenge:

I've used an acetate wrap on this card - that's a fairly old piece of foiled acetate from hunkdory. The image is from sheet number 425 which you can get here. I've coloured the image in with promarkers and fussy cut before adding her to the acetate wrap. Underneath the wrap is some shiny paper that I'e embossed using a Sheena Douglass embossing folder. I've also added ribbon to help keep the wrap and the card together.

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Post for Whoopsi Daisy: Use two or more images

Good morning Lovelies - how are you on this bank holiday morning? Hopefully good! This is another scheduled post for me as I'm away just now!

Over at Whoopsi Daisy today there is a new challenge starting that would like you to use two or more images. I used two images - one from sheet 447 and one from sheet 467 that you can get here.

The images were printed out and coloured with promarkers then added to the card blank made on the hougie board - its been getting a lot of use I know!!!!The Christmas tree image from sheet 467 was flipped before printing.

Thanks for popping by today and I'll try and catch up with you later!

stitching real or faux at whoopsi daisy

Morning all - I'm off running again this morning - yesterdays run went well - I managed just over 10 miles and felt I could have run a little further if necessary! At the 10 mile marker on the Great North they have a boost zone where you run through lots of high energy music and people give you jelly babies to eat  - it worked for me last time so I'm hoping it will work again this time!  I only have to do 5 miles today so it won't be quite so bad!!! Its hill run day though - thats always a toughie!

Over at whoopsi daisy today there's a new challenge starting - its all about stitching - real or faux. I've used an image from sheet 462 - that you can get here. Here's my card:

I've coloured the image with promarkers and used my spellbinders die to cut the backing squares - and then added the faux stitching in white.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

And we're going to the library to get some new books towards the Creepy House Challenge that they're doing. Oh Yes - Lucy got her ballet exam results too - she got a Merit - the upper level - which means she has a very good standard of ballet! How exciting for her!!! She makes me so proud!

Whoopsi daisy: Things with wings

Good morning all you lovely people - how did you enjoy the rain yesterday? Well we had rather a lot in the morning when I was running - and I was soaked through to the skin!  I managed my 10 miles though - only another 3 to go and I'll be already for the Great North Run which is now less than 7 weeks away! With that in mind I just want to plug the charity I'm running for again - its Asthma UK - and my just giving page is here. Please support me if you can but believe me I understand if you're not able - times are hard!

There's a new challenge starting today over at whoopsi daisy where the theme is things with wings. I used one of my bargain dies from the show at Doncaster and cut a nice shaped card:

The image is of course from whoopsi daisy and is from sheet 461 - which you can get here. I've coloured her with promarkers and cut using a smaller die then used tumbled glass DI around the edge of the die. The leafy branch is from memory box and the flowers are all WOC. The backing paper is from K and Co and the sentiment was cut using a Britannia die.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

PTWpapertakeweekly: Dies and /or punches
PCJ:paper-craftingjourney Diecuts and /or punches
OSAATonestitchatatimechallenge: AG

Thanks for dropping by and for any comments you choose to leave! I really do appreciate hearing what you think!

Big Hugs!

Whoopsi Daisy DT: Girly

Hello again! Hope you're having a great day! This is my second post of the day - so I'll keep it short - its time for a new challenge over at Whoopsi Daisy (cutedaisymay) where the theme is girly - I already sent this card out to Karen P of Stamping in Pink - it was her birthday on Saturday - so I hope its safe to show it now!

I love this card - so feminine - that image has got to be my fave WD image so far! Its coloured with promarkers and I've cut it out using a spellbinders die. The card blank has been covered in floral papers from I think its trimcraft but I could be wrong. The fluorish is from a Marianne die and the flowers are WOC.
