Sunday Sketch and Stamp and some geekiness



Evening, all! Here's a card for Sunday Sketch and Stamp. This is the sketch:



It wasn't until I'd nearly finished my card that I realised what a great sketch it would be for an SF or science geek! The sketch looks like a moon passing in front of the planet Saturn, with the horizontal strip representing the Rings! Yes? No?

Anyhoo, the image is Little Goth Girl by Sugar Nellie, from Funky Kits. Papers are a mix of Kate Knight (a mag freebie) Daisy Bucket (from Dies to Die For and a Nitwits download. Flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts and also some from stash. Raffia is also from stash - it's a bit of a pig to stick down, isn't it? Pretty, though.

I used Nesties, and a Woodware punch for the leaves. The sentiment is by The Greeting Farm. The purple gems are from stash, and I stickled all the die-cut shapes and the leaves - oh, and the skull-and-crossbones barrette in her hair!

I hope you're all having a good half-term: may those of you at home enjoy a break, and may those of you having to go to work enjoy the easier travelling!!

luv, Mags x

Dream Valley Challenges #205 Yellow and Black

Image
Hi, guys! We have a new challenge at Dream Valley and it's to use yellow and black on your project. Our sponsor is the gorgeous All Dressed Up and Wendy kindly gave us a couple of her adorable images to use. I chose Magical Woodland it is so cute. The background is made with the Honeybee layering die set from Birch Press, and I used up scraps of orange, black and yellow card forthe die-cutting. The die-cut sentiment uses a Love from Lizi die and a snippet of black glitter cardstock. Have a look of my teamies' creations, they have made some very pretty cards! Thanks for looking and - Bee Happy! love Mags B x

My Time to Craft! #390 Men Only

Image
Hi, guys! I hope you're all keeping well! We have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is Men Only. Yep, we're asking for those tricky cards for the Blokes! I have made a card for a boy. This is Fenton Frog by Sweet'n'Sassy stamps, he is so cute! ALL the papers and card (except the card base were made with Snippets from the scrap drawer! The sentiment came with the image and I cut it out and layered it onto a folded banner die-cut by Simon Says Stamp, using a scrap of green glittery card. I added green Nuvo Drops as an embellishment as well as two tiny green hearts on the banner. I am determined to make a real effort to use up snippets this year!! Go and see the fab work left on the Challenge blog by my teamies! Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! love Mags B x

My Time to Craft #386 More Than One Fold - but not an easel!!

Image
Hello, my lovelies! I hope you're all keeping well and keeping on top of all the Chrimbo shenanigans! To take your mind off things we have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is More Than One Fold But No Easels! I don't know about you, but an easel card is my default for more than one fold, so I was a bit anxious about this one. However, in the nick of time Jennifer McGuire posted a video on how to make a Double Z-fold card which fits the bill! This is the outside, which looks like an ordinary Z-fold, but when you open it..... I used a printed ready-made card base and stamped and embossed an old Hero Arts stamp across the internal section, masking areas for the sentiments. I coloured the flowers with Zig brush markers. The sentiments are stamped with gold Delicata ink. This was made for a birthday at the end of October, I am pleased to say that the recipient liked it! There is some gorgeous inspiration on the Challenge blog, go and see! Thanks for look...
