There's a rumble in the jungle

I have made this card for my friend who has just had a little girl! I did a card that would be suitable for a boy or girl, as we didn't know what she was having!

Baby Freya was a lovely surprise :)

I have created an easel card so I could make the most of my baby themed papers.

The images I have used are the adorable Safari Trio (£3.50) from Nutcrafters.
I love how they match the papers! The animals are coloured using Promarkers, and the buttons I've used are a pack from The Works (£1).

I am entering this card into Allsorts Challenge - Free & Easy Pt1

Thanks for looking x

Sweet Music

The challenge over at Raise the Bar this week is Sweet Music.

I have made this easel card using Nutcrafters Drumming Cash stamp.

I always get stuck for what to put on cards for boys! And I think the boys Nutshell range is great!

I have coloured Cash using Promarkers. The 'Rock On' I have cut out using my Sizzix Alphabet, and the musical paper is from The Crafthouse Press. I have used a star shaped Gromlet as the prop on the base of the card, and I added a few star shaped sequins I found.

Thanks for looking!

Sunshine!

I have created this easel card to enter into two challenges,
Anyone for Anya? and Anya Ink.

There wasnt a set theme for either of these challenges, we can enter any card we want aslong as it has a TGF image on it somewhere!

I have used a Miss Anya Love image, and coloured her in using Pro Markers and Stickles. The flowers and papers are from my stash, and I have used yet another Gromlet as the prop on the base!

Thanks for looking!

TGF Battle - Week 2!

So we were lucky enough to go on to the next round! Let's see if we can do it again!

I think we can this week, with Kim's ADORABLE card!!

This is her creation for this weeks challenge!
This week we had to submit an easel card, and this was Kim's first try at making one, and I think she's done a fab job!

If you like this card and want to vote for us, again head on over to TGF by clicking HERE!

Thankyou x

TGF Royal Battle!

The Greeting Farm are holding their biggest challenge yet!

There is around 60 teams who will submit one card each week, using a set theme/colour scheme set by TGF. You have to vote for your top 3 cards, and the teams with the most votes will move on to the next weeks challenge!

(Tough stuff!)

I am on team Little Star Shooters!

Along with Kim (Team Captain)

and Laura.

We had to submit a retro card this week using a certain colour scheme, turquoise and burnt orange/brown.

Laura had a great idea that we all make a card each and then send them to each other and then decide who's card to send in. This makes it fairer, (and we all get to do a bit more crafting!)

This week, my card was submitted (eek!) ...

When I thought 'retro', I thought of the 50s - diners and ice cream parlours, so that's what I went for! I have made an easel card so I could get lots of detail into the card, to prop the card up I made a Sundaes sign.

I have used the orangey/brown paper to make the counter, and sat an ice cream on top of it. The ice cream was made using a Sizzix die, and to top it off I added the cherry brad.

I have used TGFs Wildsprout Megan, and gave her a pleated skirt out of turquoise polka dot paper, and also gave her a red bow from ribbon.

If you would like to vote for us and have a nosey and the other great entries, just head over to TGF. Click HERE if you like our card and want to vote for it! Thankyou!

SPRING FEVER

The challenge this week over at Anyone for Anya is Spring Fever, to create a card with spring colours or blooms, and also there is a challenge at Allsorts challenge Blog to use the same theme.. (Spring!). So I would like to enter this card into both.

I have chosen to use The Greeting Farms Twinkle Tots Izzy for my image, I thought she was perfect for this challenge as she looks ready for spring in her Easter Bonnet!

I chose nice fresh citrus colours for my card and matched papers from my stash to some new Prima flowers I bought and a Fancy Pin.

This is the first easel card I have done and I loved making it! I have used a Spring Gromlet for the prop on the base, and think I will be making lots more cards in this style.

Thanks for looking, Rachael.
