Crafty Catz DT - Red, White and Blue

Good morning all! 

Another Friday means the end of another working week. I hope you've all had a good one and if not, that the weekend makes up for it. 

Mine's been as mad as ever, everything's been a bit non stop since I got back of holiday; End of the college term - Diaconate Ordinations, a 2 day metalwork course, my birthday (the big 3-0) a friends 30th celebration, a trip to the theatre to see Mamma Mia - sooo good! and this weekend see's me heading North to Liverpool to catch up with a Priest friend and to see one of the outgoing top year Ordained Priest.... phew! 

But in the midst of all this there has been some crafting, including this weeks Design Team card for this weeks theme of Red, White and Blue, set by the lovely Nina. We are sponsored this week by Time for Tea who are offering our lucky winner 3 images from the shop. 

My card this week is one of those designs which is great for using up odds and ends:

 

Image is coloured with promarkers in Cool Grey 2, Warm Grey 1, Gold, Saffron, Almon, Poppy, Cool Aqua and Lavender. The papers are all scraps and the sentiment I found online. Th unicorn sparkles with Stickles Stardust and there are a few pearls to finish.

So there you have it, please go and check out the other fab cards by the girls. Until next time though, happy crafting!

Crafty Ctz DT - Fairies or Something Enchanting

Morning all

Well what a week! or should I say weeks - I've just finished a gruelling run of 18 days without a break - which is why I'm late with my post this morning. I hope you don't mind but I took the chance to lie in. 

Anyway, I'm here now and this weeks challenge has been set by the lovely Nick and she wants to see cards and projects with Fairies or Something Enchanting on them. We are sponsored this week by Stamping Boutique  who are offering our lucky winner 3 images of their choice

  

Now, I've been a naughty DT member this week and not used one of our lovely sponsors images, but I'm firmly blaming microsoft for my misbehaviour! I set my laptop to update to Window's 10 and it crashed the laptop - having recovered it and managed to get it to upgrade properly it's now removed the drivers which allow me to print to my wireless printer! it's just been a nightmare, so it's been back to physical stamps for me. 

So I've used this cute image from Lili of the Valley and one of their sentiment stamps too. She's coloured with promarkers in Blush, Mustard, Buttercup, Apricot, Spice, Dusky Rose, Lavender, Lilac, Amythest and Cool Aqua

The papers are all old one's from 12x12 sheet's that I've been using and abusing for about 2 years so I can't recall which make they are I'm afraid. The butterflies are a MS punch and the gems are from stash. 

I hope you like it and do come over and play with us. Until next time though, happy crafting! 

Crafty Catz DT - Add Lace

The image is Polka Dot Pals - Caroline

She is coloured with promarkers in Blush, Buttercup, Mustard, Blossom, Dusky Rose, Amethyst and Lavender. She is finished with accents in pencil. The ribbon, lace, buttons and gems are all from stash and the butterflies are a Martha Stewart Punch. 

That's it from me, I hope you like it. Until next time, happy crafting!
