Saturday Stuff

Not much catching up done today for 365 Cards, but have managed just the one. This is for Day 237 -Fridays' Five. To use at least 5 different stamps on your card. 10 would be great.
This will also fit in with Creative Card Crew Challenge 32 - Scallops
Well I managed 8.
6 different leaves and an acorn, 2 of which are PSX the rest QVC,
and the sentiment which is PSX also.
Inks used - Adirondack Rust, Red Pepper, Butterscotch, Cranberry, Terra Cotta, Ginger and Versafine Onyx Black for the sentiment.
The larger leaf was inked in green and embossed using Verdigris embossing powder. Then the veins were rubbed over with wax rub-ons to give a pinky sheen
The rub-on bird is by Bo Bunny.
Tan card edged with my Fiskars scalloped border punch

Pink & Brown

Another new challenge blog for me is Charisma Cards Thursday Craft Challenge and their challenge #22 is a Colour Combo ' Pink & Brown'.....love those colours.
The stamp is by Sugar Nellie and I coloured her with ProMarkers, I didn't note down the colours, but there is Blossom, Pastel Pink, Cinnamon and vanilla for sure, she was matted onto a spare piece of Basic Grey....I love to use up bits.
All other items are out of my stash.
That's the problem, once they're out of the packet you can't remember who makes them.

Chocolate, Coffee & Cream

This was the great theme over at Colour Create challenge blog this being week 11.
The added extra element was to add distressing.
I don't know why but this took me hours all afternoon. lol!! I was up and down like the proverbial.
Unfortunately, due to the bulkiness of the ribbon, the scan is poor. I still haven't got the ability to do great photos like some of you artistic ladies. :-)
2 Easter pressies were featured on this card the stamp and the 'Bug' embossing folder....aren't I lucky.
I distressed the core'dination card after embossing in the Bug.

Distressed brown paper - Kay & Company 'Roam'
Stamp - Sugar Nellie
Vellum Sentiment - Art & Crafts Direct
Core'dination card - 'sand castle'
Lace, ribbon, brads, base card and card pieces from my stash.

Family Affair.....

Have managed to combine another couple of challenge blogs for this card. The title of the post is the theme over at Cute Card Thursday, being their Challenge 53...a card for any family member. It worked in well with the lovely sketch over at Truly Scrumptious Challenge 3 with the added element of something shiney or sparkly.
This is the first time I've used this new Sugar Nellie stamp, isn't she cute. I coloured her with PM's and just cut the bottom half of the stamped image close to the outline and placed her sitting on top of the piece of purple card which was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. The shiny element was the 4 gem/metal brads added at the corners. The paper and sentiment were from free downloads and the ribbon and flower were from my stash.

Friday Sketchers 43

This week sponsored by CreaVil, and it was a lovely sketch. I used my new Sugar Nellie stamp 'Talking to the Birds' which is very versatile as I can remove the bird house and branch and use that seperately. The image I coloured with PM's and mounted onto a piece of Bazzill cards. This was then mounted just offset on a piece of Laura Ashley paper. Finished off with Prima flowers and misc, grograin ribbon and Kaisercraft Pearls which I received yesterday form a crafting buddy.
