Inspirational Card Sketch #36

This weeks sponsor at ICS is Lindsay's Stamp Stuff so the DT got to choose an image to work with, I just couldn't resist 'Harry the Spider' and not being one for the colouring...yet! I traced him onto black card with a white pen and made a halloween card. Although I've seen creepier spiders! Be sure to check out the rest of the DT creations to see some more of Lindsay's images and some fab colouring. I'm gonna have to invest in some pens and learn how to do it! Oh I forgot to mention, there's 10 of Lindsay's digi images for this week's lucky winner!

DCM - Tartan it up!

The DCM dare this week is 'Tartan it Up'. Well I've been wondering what to do with the tartan BG June Bug paper and this was a perfect opportunity to come up with something. What I was trying to achieve with this card is a simple christmas card design that I can make a batch of quite easily and I think this may be it! On to something better now...

Look what goodies I received in the post this morning from my lovely blogging friend Lynda. A beautiful card, loads of Penny Black stamped images, tons of punched holly leaves and some fab ribbons, how sweet. It couldn't have come at a better time either, I was feeling a bit negative about the whole crafting thing and this parcel really made my day. So thank you so much Lynda, I was really touched.

Polka Doodles Challenge 18

The Polkadoodles challenge this week is

DIY Flowers (Do It Yourself / Make It Yourself Flowers)

Well, as luck would have it my Studio 490 stamp set had just arrived so an opportunity to follow this tutorial and make a beautiful rose! Mine is not quite beautiful, needs a bit of tweeking next time but not bad for a first attempt. Be sure to check out the Polkadoodles blog, great flowers from the DT and a tutorial too, there's still time to enter the challenge closes on Sunday.
