Creative Creations Challenges - For you Dad

Morning! Wow this is a miracle for me - two posts within a couple of days! I have been so busy with stuff its crazy! I would love to tell you that things will calm down in a few weeks - but no sooner will all the stress be over it will them be summer holidays! 

Anyway I'm here today with the latest challenge at Creative Creations Challenges - we had a great turn out last week well done to everyone that joined in, remember to pop to the blog to see if you were our lucky winner! 

So onto this weeks challenge - we have a fantastic and very appropriate challenge for you this week - 

For you Dad

Yep were looking for your Fathers Day Creations. We have a wonderful sponsor this week 

Indigo Blu

The team were lucky enough to have some steps from Indigo Blu to work with - I know the team had so much fun with them :) 

I got to work with xxxx as my set - I have to say at first I was somewhat stumped - its been a while since I had the stamps and inks out - but my word did I enjoy getting messy! I even managed to make two cards this week! 

First up I kept it simple, I used the cogs stamps with my TH Walnut Stain ink to stamp the background, using my brush I then distressed the background using Tea Dye.  I stamped the layered pieces in black Memento and distressed them with the tea dye, I layered them onto Kraft and stuck them with silicone.  

The twine is from my stash I also ran that through the Tea Dye to make it blend more, the farm was added using twine to secure it. 

I have to say I LOVE how this card has turned out! I would like to enter the card above into the following challenges; 

Craft Lovin Challenges - Fathers Day 

Crazy 4 Challenges - Fathers Day

Sugar Creek Hollow - Fathers Day 

I was somewhat messy after finishing it and so I decided that I was going to get more messy……. 

For this one I stamped the background up and then scrunched it, once again distressed it using my brush and TH Tea Dye, I did add a few stipples of Walnut Stain in to.  I did the same with the cogs. 

I then stamped the image again but this time only very lightly distressed it.  

Well I hope you like my creations, I had so much fin making them! I would like to enter the second card into the following challenges;

Ohhh when will summer come and stay?  Anyway been keeping myself pretty busy with creating and cleaning the little room up and making mess and stressing that there is mess…… anyway Im here to share with you today a commission I made and all in all I was pretty impressed with it!

There are some fab designs over there today - so remember to pop over!  Onto my creation! I had to make a very quick and simple card for my friends boy who was 7 yesterday - I have to sit and think what I was going to do for him and remembered I had this stamp from LOTV. 

The image was coloured using copics and the papers were from my stash.  The sentiment is also from LOTV. 

Now as I'm rushing and trying 101 things at the moment I can't remember what pens I used, they are to one side in my stash at the moment so I will end it the pot later to let you know.  Well I hope you will pop to the TTT blog and see the Fab DT creations!!! See you soon!

Dead Men Tell No Tales...

No No No... I haven't gone crazy... well I hope I haven't, maybe I have! This is part of the sentiment on todays card!! I coloured up this fab Pirate from Tickled Pink last week and my little helper (Amelia) couldn't wait to get him on a card!! 

I have to say he is kinda cute!!! This is Little Pirate Frankie from Tickled pink Stamps.  I brought him a while back and found him in the 'to colour' box of images.  He will be printed off again rather soon!! I made this card for a friends little boys birthday, he turns 8 at the end of Feb, I can't wait to give him the card now! 

Turning 8 is such a big thing, they don't want fussy cards so I kept this quite simple. 

The papers are from my stash, The small 'map print' is Su paper that I dreaded cutting into! but its over now and I feel that I can now use some of the paper at least!! The PIRATE paper was from my local craft shop, I brought it ages ago, and finally found a use for some of it!!! I thought it had worked quite well the way PIRATE sits along the bottom, I couldn't resist 'Dead men Tell no Lies' up the side of the image!! 

i coloured the image using my copics and for the life of me I can't find my notebook.... I will edit tomorrow as soon as I find it!!!
