Stamp Something Challenge - Yellow, Green and Blue

I thought I would have a shot at the Stamp Something Challenge which is a colour challenge using yellow, green and blue. I used "Dress Up Maggie" from Sugar Nellie and I coloured her with Pro Markers. I haven't used Pro Markers before so I had to have a bit of pracice but I think it turned out ok. Having said that, I had about 6 attempts!


I used Basic Grey Lily Kate papers and yellow and blue cardstock on the front. It looks a bit purple on the photo but it is blue. I made the flowers using a daisy punch with jewellery spacers and Papermania brads in the middle. I added adhesive gems and lace from my stash along the bottom and a punched a swirl at the side. I put the "Party" sentiment on since Maggie is all dressed up ready to hit the town!

The inside is simple with a wee cut out Maggie and some of the same Lily Kate papers to finish off. Job done.

First post and first ever challenge entry - WOJ Challenge #26

I don't suppose I am going to be any good at this blogging stuff but, my daughter says that I need my own blog to show my cards off. So, here goes...

This card is my entry to the WOJ challenge this week which is 'Black, White and a splash of one colour accent'. I have used Willow with Umberella coloured with watercoour pencils, Cosmic Shimmers and a white gel pen for highlights. The DP's are ones that I've had for a few years and thought I would never use. I can't remember the name of them now. The flowers are punched from black and lilac velvet paper and the brad in the centre is Papermania. The black ribbon is from my stash as are the silver and purple pins in the ribbon, the jewels round the corner of image and the CS.

I carried the papers over to the inside of the card and edged them with the Flourish punch by EK Success which I got from the Hobby House. Another punched velvet flower and a swirl behind the CS.

Thanks for looking.
