16 today!

Good morning blogland,

It's time for a new challenge over at Passion for Markers this week, and it's a special week as well - the challenge blog officially turns 16! 

So because this is officially a 'big thing' it's a big challenge this week - both teams are participating and there are loads of prizes on offer from lots of sponsors.  In with these wonderful prizes the challenge is very easy going and this week we'd like to see 'anything goes' but you must still use your markers.

The sponsors and their prizes are too many to list here, so pop on over to the challenge blog and have a look, while you're there take a look at the wonderful cards my Teamies have created and even, why not, enter the challenge yourself! There is a limit of 3 entries per person this week, but then who's got time to create 3 cards in one week - I know I haven't!

Speaking of cards - here's mine (and it's a total coincidence that it's for a 16th birthday!).


Supplies used:

Digital stamp:
Saturated Canary - soda shop introvert (there's no point linking to it as the etsy shop is closed, if you want to find Krista's images you have to subscribe to her Patreon account).
I coloured with my Copic markers

Rubber stamps:
Kaiser Craft - today (it's part of much bigger sentiment and I masked off the rest to get 'today')
taylored expressions - simple strips : birthday

Dies:
Poppy Stamps - scalloped stitch frames
un-branded stitched rectangle
taylored expression - simple strips: well rounded

Anything else:
scrap piece of very old scrapbook patterned paper
acetate
sprinkles
very, very, very old chipboard numbers

And that's about it folks - it's all still all go at home and very out of routine, which if I ever get to make a card 'just because' I will do an accompanying post and explain.  Unfortunately at the moment, I only make cards for challenges, as that's all the time I have - and even then I'm forever running late.

See you soon,
Sarah

Tag, you're it!

Good morning blogland,

It's a lovely Saturday morning here in (for once) sunny Lincolnshire, the first day of the summer school holidays, and a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' .  For the challenge this fortnight we'd like to see your stamping with a theme of 'Tags'.

Now, normally, I would have just added a tag to a card but, in the spirit of trying to stamp un-inked stamps and use smaller stamps, I went for a real, able to use, gift tag! It's ended up, with me doing that, that you've got two for the price of one! 

The logic I was using - if you're going to make a useable tag, then do something a bit more challenging than: stamp, colour, add to card.  So I decided to go with shaker tags and make my own background for the back panel of the shaker 'bit' and I was trying to mist a background over a stencil.  Four attempts later, I had two useable pieces of card. These are how they turned out:



Supplies used:

Stamps:
Time for Tea Designs: Let's Party
coloured with my Copics
Woodware: sentiments (I can't find anything on the packaging other than 'clear stamp set designed by
 Jane Gill')

Dies:
un-branded tag set
Impression Obsessions: Everyday Top Edgers

Stencil:
My Favorite Things: Sunrise Radiating Rays

Anything Else:
Cosmic Shimmer mister
sparkly stuff for the shaker
bit of twine for the tags

And that's it folks - I'm currently suffering with quite a bad head cold and am off to feel sorry for myself.

See you soon,
Sarah
