Birthday wishes

 Hi blogland

It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers and this week it's our Teamie Marlene's choice for the the challenge, which is 'Things with Wings’. 

So 'things with wings' this is anything with a wing - fairies, butterflies, bees, birds, aeroplanes; anything this has a wing (and I suppose doesn't even have to fly as long as it has wings)!  

This week we are sponsored by LeAnn's World 101, with a lovely prize for one lucky randomly drawn winner.  To be in with a chance to win, you do have to follow the rules, and use your markers most importantly, but you don't have to make a card.

Having said that - here is my card!


Supplies used:

Digital stamp:
LeAnn's World 101 - Angeline
coloured with my Copics

Dies used:
un-branded stitched rectangle
TimeforTea Designs - Big Birthday Wishes
Craftaddiction UK - Rectangle Inverted Scallop Frames

Patterned paper:

Anything else:
acetate for the shaker
sequins
yellow spotted light card

I just realised that I didn't make a note of the paper, so I'll be back with that shortly.

Otherwise looking forward to seeing all the entries to the challenge, and having a wander around and looking at all the lovely flying things.

See you soon,
Sarah

More of 'em

Those tricky men that is!

Good morning blogland,

It's the first Saturday of the month (who would believe we are in June already!) and so it's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge and this month the challenge theme is 'All about the men or boys'.

As always we are a very easy going challenge - just follow the theme, don't backlink and a maximum entry of 3 per person.

This is my boy's card:


Supplies used:

Digital stamp:
Saturated Canary - gamer
coloured with my Copics

Dies:
un-branded stitched rectangles

Whimsy Stamps - Frame

Stencil:

Anything else:

And that's it folks!  Not the most exciting of cards, but I really wanted to try out the stencil and new ink pad, very happy with how it turned out too.

Hopefully see you over at the challenge?

Sarah
