Kwerner colour inspiration #36 (#19 if your me)

I missed there being no colour inspiration from Kristina last week, glad it's back this week!

I really struggled this week with inspiration! don't know how I ended up with a card at all.

I stamped all the images, embossed them and then cut them out.

CCC #20

This weeks challenge over at Cup cake craft challenges is to take your inspiration from the blog background.

So my creation for the DT is some cupcakes! Couldn't get more literal then that could you!

They are delicious (if I do say so myself) chocolate cherry cupcakes, with a chocolate icing (made with chocolate and double cream!!)

2 sketches 4 u! You're a hoot!

This is for the challenge this week over at 2 sketches 4 you I hope I am close enough to the sketch, but I thought this little owl stamp from Hero arts fitted so well!

I love how it has turned out.

I stamped the image several times and then layered it onto the card to give a 3D effect.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

A tree for all seasons

This card is for the Stamp something challenge, it was a sketch.

I used this lovely stamp set from Stampin in, a tree for all seasons. I just love these stamps, and the thinking of you 365 days stamp is also stampin up.

Sorry the picture doesn't show the colours up very well, it's dark already (shortest day of the year here in the UK)

Let me know what you think.

Cute card Thursday challenge Punches

This is my 100th post!!! WOW

This card is for the challenge this week over at Cute card Thursday

The challenge was to use punches, I don't have that many punches, but I used my scallop edge punch (which I love).

I used my the elephant from 'Wild about you' stamp set from Stampin' up. I think I need to step away from the elephant stamps! I just can't stop using them.

Again I stamped the image with versa mark ink and then used my Stampin' pastels, it's a nice way to get light and dark on your images.

Let me know what you think.

Kwerner colour inspiration #34 (#17 if your me) & This Thursday challenge

I was a little worried when I saw the colours for this weeks colour inspiration over at Kristna's blog, I loved them but I don't really do subtle in my cards!
Then I saw how well it fitted the challenge over at This thursday's , which is naughty or nice! I was really excited. Well you couldn't get much nicer then a cute little baby card could you!?

The colours are pale plum, perfect plum, bordering blue, sage shadow, certainly celery and you could add a neutral colour.
I had such fun with it though, I tried this stamp and pastel technique where you stamp your image in versa mark, then use your Stampin' pastels to colour them in. It gives such a pretty and subtle effect! I know I will be using this technique a lot!

Anyway leave me a comment to let me know what you think.

Stamp set used (my old favourite) Nursery Necessities from Stampin' Up.

BTW can you believe this is 17 in a row for me! I'm even impressed ;)
