Scribble and Scrap challenge #16 DT post

Morning!!!
I hope you are all having a great weekend... I have family visiting, so I'm really busy at the moment and I haven't had time to craft or visit any of your blogs... hopefully I will catch up on everything over the next few days...

As every fortnight, we have a new challenge at 


As always, the challenge is Anything goes. so go over to the Scribble and Scrap challenge, take a look at the great cards my fellow DTs have made for your inspiration and join us!
There will be a Random drawn winner, who will get a £15 voucher to spend in the Scribble and Scrap shop. 
But if the Random drawn winner has used a product from www.scribbleandscrap.co.uk the prize will be a £20 voucher instead of a £15 voucher.
Also each of the Top Three will win a £5 voucher to spend at www.scribbleandscrap.co.uk! 
And this is my DT card for this challenge!



I made this card for my husband's birthday.

The papers I've used are perfect for this card. They are the "One for the Boys" digital paper set from Scribble and Scrap.
As usual, I couldn't resist a bit of distressing, so I used my Tim Holtz Distresser Tool on all the paper and card stock borders. 
I also hand-stitched them with white thread.


For this card, I used a rubber stamp by Lili of the Valley called  "Toot" Toot!". I stamped it with Memento ink in Tuxedo Black and coloured it with my Promarkers.
The Promarkers I used are:
Raw Sienna, Sandstone, Almond, Vanilla, Cocoa, Blossom, Peach, Soft Peach, Cornflower, Powder Blue, Tulip Yellow, Cool Grey 5 to 1.






I also distressed the image and the papers with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Old Paper.
The "Birthday Wishes" sentiment is from The Basic Birthday Sentiment Digi set at the Scribble and Scrap shop.
I created the other sentiment on the computer. 

I finished the card with a corner punch, a few buttons and a bit of twine. 




I would also like to enter the following challenges:

As you like it - favourite style of stitching (faux or real) and why : my favourite style of stitching is real. I hand-stitch most of my cards, I don't used a machine. I like the texture real stitching gives to the cards. It usually takes me ages but it's worth it!


Thank you so much for stopping by! Please leave a comment if you like my card and don't forget to follow me if you are not already! :)

Until next time!!!

I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink pad in Tattered Rose to distress the edges of the image, papers and card stock.

This is the card I've made this fortnight!



I decided to make a card with one of my favourite colour combinations, brown and blue! So I used these beautiful papers, part of the Fabulous Florals 2 digital paper set from Scribble and Scrap and put them on top of kraft card. I used a paper crimper to create the corrugated effect on the blue paper. I love the pattern on these papers so much!!!  

This is a close up of the papers:



I hand-stitched all the paper borders with white thread, distressed then with Tim Holtz distresser tool and Tim Holtz distreess ink in Old paper.

The sentiment is also from Scribble and Scrap, it is one of many sentiments you can get with the Basic Birthday Sentiment Digi Set.



For my image, I used a rubber stamp from Lili of the Valley called Fairies - on Tip Toe.







 I coloured the image with my Promakers in just blue and brown colours,

I used:
Raw Sienna, Buttercup, Sandstone, Cornflower and Powder Blue.









I used a Doily Sizzix Die cut behind the image.

To embellish I cut some butterflies with  Martha Stewart Butterfly punch, lace, gems and charm from local shops, pearls and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.




I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:


As you like it - favourite colour medium and why (my favourite colour medium is Promarkers. I love how the blend, the choice of colours and precision tip!)

Scribble and Scrap challenge time!!!!

Morning!!!!!
I hope you are having a lovely weekend so far!!!! 
Mine has been very quiet so far.... Not feeling very well, still a bit under the weather...

Today, a new Scribble and Scrap challenge begins!!!!

very generous, don't you think?

As you may already know, it is ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES!!!  easy peasy! my team mates and I have been very busy creating beautiful cards for your inspiration, so don't forget to also check them out!!!


My DT project for this week is a Love/Valentine's card....
I don't usually just make Valentine's cards, as I like to make cards that also work for anniversaries or just because...

For the card I used two digis that you can find in the Scribble and Scrap shop,
  Vintage Steampunk Key and Vintage Steampunk Key hole.
I love the vintage look on this digis....
I glued them to strong card stock and fussy cut them (including the little holes!), as I wanted to put them on foam pad, raised from the background.

I've only used two colours (excluding the white), and I tried to give it a bit of a vintage-look, with the paper distressing and inking (used Tim Holtz distress tool and Tim Holtz distress ink pad in Old Paper).

The papers I've used are from Forever Friends black and gold (the floral paper) and Crate Paper DIY shop (the music sheet).
I hand stitched in dark red/maroon colour around the background paper.

I used a piece of red cardstock cut with Sissix Scallop scallop circle die, to just pop-out behind the music sheet, sentiment and digis.
 I also used half a scallop circle die in white, which I embossed with a heart embossing folder from Tri-boss.
I created the sentiment myself (I love sentiments and quotes!!!).
The brackets framing the sentiment are new. I got them as part of an alphabet set I got from American Crafts in TK Maxx.

The red hearts are a die-cut from Sissix Bigz die.
The white ribbon is from Do Crafts.
Red rhinestones in the coner are from local shop.



I really hope you like my black and red LOVE creation!!!!
