Anything goes with sketch option at Creative Inspirations plus tag 7 for funkie Junkie

Good morning lovelies! I hope you are well! I'm still reeling from a phone call we had on Monday night from a man claiming to be a microsoft engineer - basically a con - trying to get us to reveal our bank details. I just hate that people do things like that. He was so very convincing -nearly got us. There's some nasty dishonest people in this world - and I'm not the only person that they've tried to do this too - loads of friends have had it too. Just be warned!

Onto brighter things! I'm delighted to be able to say that I'm now GDT for thatcraftplace - well for 3 months!!!! So very excited - thanks to Lisa and everybody else on the team for giving me a chance! I'll do my best!!!! Watch this space for my first challenge but why not join in this fortnight where the challenge is use a star.



This week's challenge at creative Inspirations is Anything Goes + Option of A Sketch!


This week's prize is from CEDAR CHEST DESIGNS and is a $10 GIFT CERTIFICATE!

I took this opportunity to use my new stamps from Sheena Douglass - this is my card:





To make this card I stamped the puffin then masked him and stamped the seagrasses and birds. Then I coloured with my speccies and used DI to create the sky.  The background card has been torn - the shells stamped and coloured with speccies. 

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

Bearly Minebearlymine-challenges: AG
Incy Wincyincywincydesigns: Male

I've also got a tag to share with you today - this one is for the thefunkiejunkie-12-tags-of-christmas challenge and it was inspired by tag 7. The elements I took from Linda's tag, that you can see by clicking the link above,  are the colour brown, the textured background and the poinsettia.



I've used an A4 embossing folder to firstly give the texture to the size 10 tag and then rubbed over the raised areas with rusty hinge Distress ink. The image is from Sheena Douglass and has been coloured with promarkers - wish I'd pained this - I think the colours are too bright. The poinsettias are cut using spellbinders dies and then put together and I've rubbed them with metallic rub. The letters are from Claritystamp. 

I'd like to enter this tag into the funkie Junkie week 7 sponsored by thethefunkiejunkie boutique. 

Hope you have a great day! Thanks for dropping by today and for any comments you may leave - I'm always touched by the many of you who stop by here regularly and leave some comments - thankyou - it means a lot to me!

See you tomorrow!

Pretty in pink

Hello there! Well it was a gorgeous day yesterday up here - we had a wonderful day out at Stanley Park in Blackpool. I wonder if we'll be so lucky today - the forecast is pretty awful - looks like I'm in for a wet run!!!

Today I've gor a card I made using the pink (magenta twinkle) embossing powder that I bought at the show in Doncaster. Its fabulous - and makes my card really sparkle.



I used Sheena Douglass Hibiscu stamps and stamped them in versa mark onto centura pearl pink card from crafters companion - then I added the wow powders and heat set.  I used spectrum noir pens to add colour to the flowers centres - OR1 and BP2. The leaves were stamped in a similar way and embossed with wow holly green. The central stamp is from LOTV and I stamped this in archival black and cut it out with a spellbinders circular die. The backing paper is already pink - then I altered it with dylusions bubblegum spray and distress stain worn lipstick.

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