OSAAT #203 - For a Boy

This week I had to choose a Coosty Creations digi and I chose the Lizard Stamp and Papers Set - I only used one of the papers out of the four. You can buy this wonderful set at the Stitchybear Dig Outlet. 

The theme this week at One Stitch at a Time is 'For a Boy' and I think only boys would have a lizard as a pet! I did enjoy colouring him with my Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens. I cut him out with a Spellbinders Wonky Square nestie and edged it with Distress Ink in Forest Moss and then cut another two wonky squares out of the lizard skin patterned papers. I matted some Kraft coloured card on to some dark brown card and these were both from Papermill. I edged it with the Forest Moss Distress Ink and then using two Promarkers in green and tan I used a spritzer to mottle the background. I tied some Ikea twine round the card before mounting it with foam pads on to the Joanna Sheen card blank.  The computer generated sentiment was also cut with a Spellbinders die and edged with the Distress Ink.

The prize this week is $9 to spend in the Stitchy store but please check the OSAAT blog for full details of the prizes.

Whoopsi Daisy Things with Wings

Here is my card for the Things with Wings challenge at Whoopsi Daisy Challenge Blog. I've used the beautiful little image from sheet 355 which is available to buy here.

I coloured her with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens and then cut round the image leaving a small white border. I blinged her wings with two colours of Stickles. She was then matted on to a Spellbinders Parisian Motif. The backing paper is printed from a CD and was in my stash. The card blank is from Craft UK. The pink card is from Papermill and the silver card was a freebie in a magazine. The bright pink butterflies are from the stash that I bought when we visited Australia a couple of years ago. It had been Eric's ambition to visit his relatives in Darwin, Perth, Mandurah and Manjimup and we managed to do that two years ago so I have lovely memories of that holiday.

Just a quick note to say thank you for the ongoing messages of support I'm receiving. This week has been slightly better. I've made an effort to go out most days and Friday was the only day I stayed in, to do some washing. I cried all morning and then I picked myself up and got through the rest of the day.

Whoopsi Daisy Summer Colours

This is my card for the Whoopsi Daisy challenge this week - the theme is Summer Colours and you couldn't get much hotter than these colours! 

I used one of the images from sheet 339 which you can buy here. There are four digis to a sheet and, at the minute, if you buy one sheet, for only £1.99, you get another sheet free,  a fantastic price for fantastic images.

I used a small card blank from Craft UK. The backing paper is from a freebie pad by Kate Knight - Totally Tropical Summer papers. The orange card is from Payper Box. I coloured the image with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens and then used a Spellbinders nestie to cut it. I matted it on to the scalloped nestie in orange. Three small orange gems from JJD cards are in the bottom right of the image rectangle. The orange ribbon is from my Australian stash - it's beginning to run low! Yikes.
