CCT Dancing Queen

The theme at CCT this week is Dancing Queen. I have used a Tim Holtz Movers and Shapers die to cut out the dress form from brown card and some very old Graphic 45 paper. The kraft card has embossed lines on it but unfortunately they do not show up in the photo. The punches and edge die are from Stampin Up and I added a little piece of ribbon, a paper rose and a few pearls. Yet another quick and easy card!

Have a good Thursday.

CCT Something Blue

This weeks theme at CCT is nice and easy, Something Blue. I used Stampin Up butterflies and a Cuttlebug embossing folder. This is another super quick card as I'm rushing to get the dreaded housework done as I'm working 6 nights out of 7 this week!

CCT Come Fly with Me

This weeks theme at CCT is Come Fly with Me. I have coloured a tag with Distress Stains and used a Tim Holtz sentiment and a Stampin Up bird image which I inked with Distress Inks. I also added some FranTage embossing powders and glitters to the tag.

CCT Can't Stop The Rain

This weeks challenge at CCT is Can't Stop The Rain. I have made a quick tag which I coloured with Distress Stains. I was going to add various embellishments to the tag but I really liked how the background turned out and when I stamped the Tim Holtz Umbrella Man image it looked like he was walking down a path so I left it as it was and just stamped the Docrafts cog stamp in the corner and a dotty stamp under his feet. The seam binding is also coloured with Distress Stains.

Have a good Thursday.

CCT Cake Walk

This weeks challenge at CCT is Cake Walk. I used a Penny Black image coloured with Copics for my card, this is another stamp which I have had for years and never used!! The papers are from Docrafts, these have got to be my favourite papers at the moment and I die cut them with Die-Namics Blueprints 1 dies.

Have a good Thursday.

CCT Butterfly Kisses

We have a fab theme at CCT this week and its Butterfly Kisses. I have been having a bit of a change from card making and decided to decorate a canvas. I have painted the back with gesso and then made a stencil using a Tim Holtz movers and shapers die. I applied modelling paste through the stencil and then painted the canvas with acrylic paints. I added a little gold paint from a Tim Holtz paint dabber over the swirls and some flowers cut with an EK Success punch. I distressed the flowers and added a pearl to the centers. The background text was stamped on to tissue and applied with Mod Podge and the butterflies are cut with an X Cut punch and embossed with Fran-tage Shabby White embossing powder. I got the quote from the internet. I really enjoyed making this canvas and have a few more waiting to be decorated.

I hope you will be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have a fab prize from Whiff of Joy. 

CCT Something Borrowed

I can't believe its Thursday again already, the time is really flying by at the moment. I hope you all had a good Easter. The theme at CCT this week is Something Borrowed. I made a little tag for my son's birthday and 'borrowed' a bit of garden string for it!! The image is an old Greetings Farm one which I coloured with Copics and the papers are Basic Grey. I am slowly using up some of my old stash and I'm having to get out all my old stamps to use because there aren't many new stamps that I like at the moment, which in a way is good because I can save a few pennies!

Have a good week.

CCT Brass In Pocket

The theme at CCT this week is Brass In Pocket. This stumped me for a while so I decided to take the word 'pocket' and made a card with pocket watches on it. For my card I have used Stampin Up papers and stamps. The pocket watch stamp and cog were freebies from a magazine. I cut the tag with a DieNamics fishtail stax die and added a button and piece of twill ribbon.

I hope you will be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have another fab prize. Enjoy the Easter weekend.

CCT Easter Parade

 The challenge this week at CCT is Easter Parade. I have made an Easter card using an old Tilda stamp which I have coloured with Distress Inks. It has been so long since I made a Tilda card and probably just as long since I coloured with DI!! I'm not sure what the papers are because I have managed to loose the front cover. I have used a Martha Stewart  punch on the yellow strip and added a couple of punched leaves and mulberry flowers to finish.

I hope you have a good day. Today is my 21st wedding anniversary, I can't believe how the time has flown!! I forgot to book the last night and tonight off work though (guess who's not very popular) so I won't be seeing much of hubby as I will be spending most of today asleep.

CCt Anything Goes

This weeks challenge at CCT is nice and easy, Anything Goes. I have made another quick card with a Stampin Up image and embossing folder. The stamp has been stamped onto a Spellbinders Nestability die cut and I added a piece of blue seam binding.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge. Have a good week.

CCT Something Old

Its time for a new challenge at CCT and this week it is Something Old. I have decided to use a very old Magnolia pram stamp which is one of the first Magnolia stamps which I bought. The image has been stamped with Momento ink and coloured with Copics. I embossed the white card with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and added a scrap of Christmas DP which I had lying around. Another super quick card!

I hope you all had a good week, we visited the Harry Potter, Warner Bros Studio Tour on Saturday. It was amazing even for me who wasn't really a Harry Potter fan, the sets etc are so interesting and the Hogwarts model - well I won't say anymore in case you are planning a visit as I don't want to spoil the surprise! In fact I even came home and downloaded the books to my Kindle! I'll leave you with a couple of photos from our day out.

CCT Simplify

The challenge at CCT this week is simplify. I have made another quick and easy card using my Stampin Up butterflies, punches and embossing folders.

I am off to bed in a minute but will hopefully get time to pop round some blogs before work tonight. We had a lovely time in Prague and it even snowed.

CCT Eye For Detail

The theme at CCT this week is an Eye For Detail. I have used one of the first stamps which I ever bought well over 10 years ago, I love this PSX cat face. Another of my very very quick cards!!

Super quick post because hubby and I are flying to Prague for 4 nights just after lunch and I haven't packed yet!!

CCT Love Struck

This weeks theme at CCT is Love Struck. This is a very quick card which I made for the challenge as I can't put my hubby's valentines card on my blog because he might see it! The heart is a chipboard shape which I have had for a very long time and that's about it apart from a Cuttlebug embossing folder and a piece of ribbon.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge and we have a fab prize from Bunny Zoe's Crafts.
