Spooky Gossmere

Another Tuesday Tiddly Inks card means it is time for a new challenge at Tiddly Inks! As Halloween is around the corner we have the fitting theme of Spooky Dooky. I used Gossmere for my card.

So, I’m on holiday at the moment. I’m all the way down under in Australia! By now I should be in Cairns exploring the Great Barrier Reef and taking a trip into the rain forest! I will make sure I post up some photos once I get back home at the start of November!

You know, it was so much fun colouring this one up that I’ve decided to colour her up in A5 when I get back home! It’s all been coloured with copics and I have drawn in the tree and the bats myself. I have no idea what came over me that made me decide to actually draw, hah! What’s even funnier is that after I coloured it up I took a photo, but the shadows from the window fell over it so I took another. When I looked at them both I really liked the one with the shadows, so I ended up adding them to my image!

I’ve used various bits of paper scraps I had laying about as their colours fit perfectly to this card! I then jazzed it up somewhat by painting around the edges (and then some for extra effect) with black gesso. Finally I used some Noor Design dies to make the birds and tress just make it even spookier!

I absolutely love this card, and I hope you do, too!

Fab wedding

It’s Friday, it’s Fab and I’m in Sydney!

But yes, it’s still Friday, it’s still Fab. So why don’t you check out what my fellow DT’ers have to show off at Tiddly Inks today? Take a look!

I’ve decided to use Wedding Bells again, this time making a green card. Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, dies by Noor Design, Memory Box (I think, hard to check when not at home) and Martha Stewart puncher. The lace is my favourite and from Live and Love Crafts. It’s been coloured in with copics and I used glitter glue for her veil.

Wryn’s Leaves

It is time for a new challenge at Tiddly Inks! And as autumn is well on its way here and the leaves are turning all over the place and filling up the lawn, the challenge theme is quite appropriate! Fall colours!

I picked the awesome Wryn’s Leaves, which I coloured in with copics. It was quite fun to colour, although I made the actual drawn in leaves disappear somewhat..

What does an autumn card need? Leaves! Lots of leaves! So I went crazy with my Martha Stewart punchers and Noor Design dies and put leaves everywhere! All the layers are on foam stickers so that the leaves really are poking out everywhere! I used papers from Maja Design, Memory Box and Lili of the Valley and lots of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. The swirly thing-a-ma-bobs are from Kort & Godt.

New Tiddly Inks release

Tiddly Inks is having a new release today and it’s so cuuuute!! Cuteness overload in fact! Then again, when isn’ti it?! I got to play around with a couple of the images and made a CAS card.

I coloured it all in with copics and made some grass and sky to give it more a scene feel. I rately colour something this small so it was a fun challenge! I am quite pleased with how it turned out. The paper in the top right is by Lili of the Valley. If you cannot read the text properly it says: “My brother has the best sister in the world”. It is true!

Kraft and more cake

Time for a new Tiddly Inks Challenge and the theme is Let’s Get Krafty: meaning using this brown paper I have used on my card. I was very unsure of what this challenge meant as I was not very familiar with Kraft and I decided the best way for me to follow the theme was to do a CAS card!

I have used one of my favourite Tiddly Inks stamps: Eat More Cake. It is super adorable and has the perfect name, don’t you think?! I coloured it in with copics, cut it using scissors (which I very rarely do) and used foam stickers to lift her off the craft paper a little. I then wrote a sentiment around the edge of the card and drew in some more little bits for fun!
