Creative Creations Challenge #6 - The letter B

Morning all - I know I'm pants at this blogging at the moment - there just isn't enough hours in the day for me to do all I need to at the moment - roll on after the Easter holidays - Nancy will be at nursery one morning a week :) 

So I'm here today with the challenge at Creative Creations Challenges - Its a fab theme this one… 

The Letter B 

So your creation need items that start with the letter B 

(blue, bling, buttons….)

Our sponsor this week it the wonderful 

Saturated Canary 

and the prize is two digs from the shop!

So onto my creation this week - I have spent hours pondering what to do - I wanted to try something different and so I decided that I was going to try a tag…. each DT member had to choose an image to work with - I chose the cute Violet Vintage! 

My B's

Blue, Brown, Buttons, Butterfly(s), Bling, Beautiful, (rose) Buds

Not bad for a first attempt I don't think! I used lots of odd bits from my stash - the base of the tag was made from a scrap of Kraft Card and the backing paper was an odd scrap!! I also had to get the TH DI Tea Dye out on this one to add some more brown!

The image was coloured with copics;

E50, 51, 21, 11, 57, R20

E33, 35

R39

The ribbon buttons and twine are all from odd bits laying about in the room.  The butterflies were punched using my MS punch and kraft card - the 3mm rhinestones are from Hobby House and the flowers all from WOC. I hope you like her - Im quite impressed with how she came out :) I would like to enter this tag into the following challenges; 

Anything But a Card - Spring Colours 

Challenges 4 Everybody - Anything Goes

Crafty Embellies - Anything Goes

Heck of a Challenge - Spring and Butterflies

Saturated Canary - Read all About it (the girl with blue hair)

Thanks for stopping by - I would love to know what you think and please pop to the Creative Creations Challenges Blog to see what the rest of the amazing DT came up with :)

Pens + Rubber + Ink = A First!

Morning all, well I have Amelia at home till at least Wednesday, that's if I can get her to start eating.  Its so hard when the children are ill, I wish I could be ill for her.  Im so used to seeing my big girl full of life and answering back, she just hasn't moved for 2 days! but she is on the up and we are hopeful that tonight/tomorrow she will start eating! 

Well I have had a little bit of crafting time in-between cleaning and nursing! you know one of those start stop crafting moments - this is why I can't wait for the craft room to be finished, at least I will just be start stop up there, not start stop and tidy up for 5 mins crafting! 

Well the title says a first.... yes I have made a tag that matches the card for the first time ever and it won't be the last! I has so much fun doing it! It was one of those... mmmmm i need to use this new stamp but I'm not sure what to do... mmm and there we have it! 

This is the gorgeous Blush Bonnie from TGF, I have had her sat there a while and haven't had the time to use her, Im so glad I have used her now and can't wait to use her again, I think I have to cut more tags today and go on a mission of cards and tags!

Sorry about the rubbish up-close photo, I am half asleep today and tried several times to take this photo! And so I gave up! Blush Bonnie is available here.  I do have the Babette somewhere and I hope TGF bring out more like these as i love them so much 

The paper was DoubleTake from the cupcake series I believe that I brought this when the craft shop round the corner was closing down, I do have a few in the stash, the ribbon was from my lil jars of yumminess! It matched with the combo on her dress really well.  She was coloured using copics; 

Skin; E000, E00, E02, R20, 

Hair; E29, E27, E265

Dress; RV29, RV34

Now the combo for her dress was just a random... well lets try and I will be using that one again!  The tag was cut using my Cricut and distressed using my Tim Holtz inks Tumbled Glass, Stormy Sky, Brushed Corduroy, I love adding a touch of brown to things at the moment.
