CCT Buttons/Enamel Dots

This week's theme at CCT is Buttons/Enamel Dots. I've made a tag using MFT stamps and dies which I coloured with Copics. The dots are Tonic Nuvo.

We had the most amazing time is Iceland, it is such a beautiful country.

CCT Monochrome

Well I have eventually managed to get something made for this weeks CCT challenge and the theme is Monochrome. This is a money wallet which I made for a work colleague of my daughters leaving gift. I made a white wallet from a template I found on the internet and then covered it with Maya Designs papers. The inside is also decorated but I forgot to photograph that. The stamp is by Stampendous which I stamped with Distress ink and dragged the colour onto the butterfly with a wet paintbrush. The flowers are Tim Holtz mini tattered florals and the swirl is a Tonic die. I am really pleased with how it turned out and plan on making a few more for Christmas gifts.

We had a lovely weeks holiday in Wales with all my children and partners and most of my hubbys family to celebrate his 50th birthday, in fact we have booked out the whole of the farm cottages again for next year to do it all over again! 

I have also been selling lots of my crafting goodies as I have far too much stuff and nowhere near enough free time to use it. The money raised is helping fund next years holiday to Rome, which is my hubbys birthday present. Still quite a bit to sell but at least I have some space back again.

CCT We Love Cake

This weeks theme at CCT is We Love Cake. I have used a Penny Black image on my card which I have coloured with Copics. The die cut is Tonic and I used a Creative Expressions embossing folder for the background.

CCT Spring Fever

This weeks challenge at CCT is Spring Fever. I have used one of my favourite Penny Black images and have coloured it with Distress Markers and added a little bit of glitter to the flowers. I have used a Tonic die for the background and Nesties to cut out the image.

CCT Red and Green

The challenge at CCT this week is red and green. I have used one of my new Tonic dies along with an old stamp. The image has been coloured with Copics and the embossing folder is the Heart Lattice from Sue Wilson. I have added a sentiment which came free with a magazine.

CCT Stripes

The theme at CCT this week is Stripes. I have made my card with Tilda papers and die cuts. The only other things I added are lace, ribbon, pearls and flowers. The leaf die cut is Tonic and I have edged the papers with Distress Inks.

We had a great time in Riga, its a lovely place with lots of interesting museums to visit and fabulous food.

CCT Razzle Dazzle

This weeks theme at CCT is Razzle Dazzle. I've made a very quick card with a Penny Black image coloured with Copics and a Tonic die. I have added some paper flowers and a Hero Arts sentiment. The razzle dazzle is the glitter on the flowers but unfortunately it doesn't show up too well in the photo!

I'm hoping Mr Blogger doesn't play up as I've had to schedule this post as by the time its posted I'll be in Riga, Latvia for a few days holiday with hubby, can't wait!!

CCT Dies and Punches

Another nice and easy challenge at CCT this week, we would like you to use dies and punches on your card. I have used one of my new Tonic dies, Beautiful Bramble Square and a Spellbinders labels 1 die on my card. The image is Penny Black, which I coloured with Copics and the leaves are punched with a Martha Stewart punch. 

I have just treated myself to a Grand Calibur and a couple of A4 embossing folders and a few Tonic die sets, they are fast becoming my favourite range of dies and there are a few more sets that I have my eye on!

I hope you can join us this week as we have another great prize.

CCT Too Cute

The theme at CCT this week is another nice and easy one, Too Cute. I have used a Penny Black stamp which I coloured with Copics and a new set of dies from Tonic. I have recently bought a few sets of Tonic dies, I love the intricacy of the patterns, although I have to run them through my Big Shot quite a lot of time to get them to cut! 

CCT Here Comes The Summer

This weeks theme at CCT is Here Comes The Summer. I have used one of my new Penny Black stamps and coloured the image with Distress Markers. The image is cut out using a Spellbinders die and I have added some flowers and glitter. The paper is from the Prima pack I got free with a magazine and the swirls are a Tonic die. 

I hope you will be able to join us this week as we have a fab prize. I have pre ordered a couple of Tonic dies so I am hoping they will arrive this week so I can have a play with them over the Bank holiday weekend. The cycling is going ok and I bought myself a new road bike last Sunday and am hoping for some nice weather so I can get some practice in, I'm still not overly confident!

CCT Blue and Green

This weeks theme at CCT is Blue and Green. I have used a magnolia Tilda image for my card and Prima card pack which came free with a craft magazine. The image has been coloured with Distress Ink and I have added a die cut flourish cut with a Tonic die. The kraft card has been punched with a Stampin Up punch.

I hope you'll be able to join us this week as we have another fabulous prize. I am hoping for another nice weekend as I want to get out on my bike again. Hubby has decided he wants to do Triathlons so got himself a new road bike and I've decided to try a few bike rides with him!
