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!

CCT Splish Splash

This weeks theme at CCT is Splish Splash. I have used another of my old stamps, this one is from a Woodware set. I have coloured the image with Sakura watercolour pencils and added Glossy Accents to the bubbles and a little bit of glitter to the water. I used Nestabilities to cut out the image and mat layer and a Stampin Up stamp and matching punch for the sentiment.

CCT Easter

The theme at CCT this week is Easter. I used another old stamp from my stash by Stampendous and the sentiment is from another old set I got from QVC. I have coloured the image with Copics and added some Glossy Accents to the eggs.

CCT All Boy

This weeks theme at CCT is All Boy, we'd like to see your male themed cards. I have made another CAS card using yet another old Penny Black stamp. I have coloured the image with Copics and added a die cut button and trim from a Die-Namics set of dies. 

CCT Floral Delight

This weeks challenge at CCT is Floral Delight, perfect for those last minute Mother's day cards. I am still going through my old stamps and found this one from Hero Arts. I have coloured the image with Copics and added 3 little gems. I also added the grass at the bottom of the flowers, not too sure if it was a good idea or not. The sentiment is by Penny Black.

Well the injection seems to have helped slightly with my knee and hopefully things will improve further throughout the week. We had a nice anniversary and went out for a lovely lunch at a local pub.

CCT Its A Wild World

This weeks challenge at CCT is It's A Wild World and we'd love to see your cards with animals on. I have used another of my very old High Hopes stamps called Ace. I coloured the image with Copics and added a Penny Black sentiment. I mounted the image onto some Kraft card and put some Glossy Accents on his eyes. Another very quick card!

I hope you'll be able to join us this week as we have another fab prize. I have treated myself to a couple of Penny Black stamps which I have been after for a while so hopefully they will arrive in time for the weekend as I'm having an injection in my knee on Friday and I've been told to rest it for a couple of days so it looks like been a crafting weekend, not exactly what I had planned for my 22nd wedding anniversary though!

CCT Girls, Girls, Girls

The theme at CCT this week is Girls, Girls, Girls. I have used Maja Design papers for my card and a matching image. The flowers are cut with the Tim Holtz Tattered Floral die and I have added some cheesecloth and Shabby White Fran-Tage. The border and corner are cut with Magnolia DooHickey dies.

CCT What A Gem

This weeks theme at CCT is What A Gem. I have made a very quick and simple card using an old Penny Black stamp which I have had for about 13 years! I stamped the image with Memento and coloured it with Copics. The sentiment is another Penny Black stamp and I added some gems to the flower centers.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have another great prize. 

CCT Springtime

I'm a bit late posting this weeks CCT challenge project! The theme is Springtime and have covered an MDF birdhouse in Tilda papers and added some flowers cut with Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms dies.

CCT Clever Cutting

This weeks challenge at CCT is Clever Cutting. I have made another tag with the Prima Mixed Media Doll stamps. The papers are Kaisercraft and the flowers are from Hero Arts. I have coloured the image with Copics and paper pieced the dress. The edges of the tag were distressed and I have added some pearls and ribbon.

CCT Lots of Love

It's Thursday again so time for another CCT challenge which this week is Lots of Love, so it's just in time for all those Valentines cards. I have made another tag, I seem to make more tags than cards these days. I cut the tag with a Tim Holtz die and used Recollections papers. I cut the hearts with another Tim Holtz die out of the paper and then twice more out of chipboard so they are quite thick. I inked all the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and added Glossy Accents to the small heart so it's nice and shiny. The tag is finished off with a piece of twine and crinkle ribbon and I also machine stitched around the DP. Hopefully hubby won't look at my blog this week as I thought this would be perfect for his Valentine's card.

CCT Something New

The challenge at CCT this week is Something New. I have used some new goodies which I got recently to make my tag. The stamp and tag are by Prima and I have used some old papers from my stash. The cute little heart die cut is also new. The image is coloured with Copics and I have added some paper flowers and pearls.

CCT Cold and Frosty

The theme at CCT this week is Cold and Frosty. I have made a tag using Pion Design papers and image. I have machine stitched around the tag and distressed the edges with Antique Linen Distress Inks, the flower is cut with a Tim Holtz die and the Sprawling Ferns are a Magnolia DooHickey die. I have added a few pearls, a small piece of cheesecloth, lace and FranTage champagne glitter to finish the tag.
