SpiderMouse

It has been ages since I last used this digi-stamp 'SpiderHenry' from Whiff of Joy but it always makes me smile. I was reminded of him when my son, who is now 11 but has inherited my hoarding tendencies, had to admit that he was never going to wear his spider-man outfit again: He's out-grown it in sooo many ways!
So here is SpiderMouse, painted using a waterbrush and Distress Inks (Fired Brick, Tumbled Glass, Pumice Stone, Black Soot) and edged with DI Stormy Sky, layered on Basic Grey 'Boxer' papers.

Challenges: Basic Grey: Star; Saturday Sketch #196; Cupcake Challenges: Boys and their Toys; Crafts 4 eternity: Digital delights.

Is it a spider, is it a mouse...

It's Henry superhero digi stamp! Free from Kathrina's blog. I had a request for a sand-coloured card for a 10 year old birthday: I used 'Sandbox' embossed Bazzill with scraps of mulberry paper; inking the edges with ColorBox chalk 'chocolate and blueberries'. I coloured Henry with Whispers marker pens and cut him and my computer-generated text with Nestabilities. The corners are Basic Grey 'archaic' stickers and I pulled apart a piece of string until I felt it was the right look and then threaded through the image, round the brad and back.

Three cards shown today - Must be football season if I can manage a hat trick!
Entering this card for the Stamp something - digital challenge.

Purple & Green Christmas

I've managed to cover 3 challenges with one card again! Seeing 2 ribbons together made me determined to use them for the 'purple and green' Whiff of Joy challenge and I really wanted to get my new stamp inked so this is first use of that! I have also included my favourite Cuttlebug embossing folder, which was the point of the Cuttlebug challenge blog this week and I followed the Friday Sketchers layout turned on its side.Voici ma carte pour le challenge Whiff of Joy. Le thème est les couleurs mauve et vert. J'ai utilisé le WoJ tampon Charlotte avec son traîneau. Cette semaine chez Friday Sketchers, il fallait réaliser une carte selon le sketch de Mumur. Egalement le blog de Cuttlebug Challenge demande nous utilisons nos classeur de gaufrage favorite: J'ai utilisé 'Divine Swirls'.
Used: Pollen blackcurrant paper stamped with Brilliance platinum, Papermania patterned paper, Cuttlebug 'Divine Swirls' embossed on pearlescent purple paper, Whiff of Joy Charlotte with Sleigh painted with H2Os, Anita's patterned ribbon, La Compagnie des elfes sentiment with Brilliance silver, Papermania brad and, finally, silver ribbon saved from a Christmas cracker!!!

Whiff of Joy Bag Topper

Is Charlotte Angel just for Christmas? I hope I might use her more often. I made this bag topper for a little challenge Katharina has ending today and I'm about to use the recipe for Amaretti she has posted with it! I'll be back later with a card made for the WoJ challenge using the same green and purple combo. I used Pollen 'Blackcurrant' with Papermania printed paper, X-cut punch, Anita's ribbon and Whiff of Joy 'Charlotte Angel' painted with H2Os and gel pen details.Mon sac étiquette pour un mini-challenge de Katharina. J'ai utilisé le tampon 'Charlotte Angel' de Whiff of Joy avec peinture de H2Os (aquarelles brillantes), Papier de Pollen et Papermania, Ruban de Anita's, perforatrice de X-Cut.
Edited: Sunday: Here are the Amaretti (what's left of them, and there are even less now) - Yummy :)

A Spoon Full of Sugar 27 & Paperminutes 39

Among several cards made today, I have managed a 2 in 1 on this week's challenges from Spoon full of Sugar (Michelle's sketch) and Paperminutes challenge to cut out the image:The vellum base layer and piece of DP are Papermania; the image is Whiff of Joy water-coloured with metallic gel pens: I add colour to the edges and draw it in with a wet/aqua brush, adding more colour or high-lighting as I go.

Sketch Saturday #25

I made a birthday card earlier in the week the Sketch Saturday #25 layout and this card uses the same sketch. I changed it many times as I went along but quite like the tree as the upright piece: The angel seems to be escaping from the top of it!
Used: Backing paper from my own Winter Collection designs, Whiff of Joy 'Angel Charlotte' (I think that's the right name) coloured with H2Os and mounted on 3D foam, handmade paper and die-cut tree and the card edged with Brilliance gold.
