CCT Little Bugs and Butterflies

This weeks theme at CCT is little Bugs and Butterflies.I have made another quick card using a Penny Black image which I have watercoloured with Distress Markers.

CCT Just Boys

The theme at CCT this week is Just Boys. I have used some of my new My Favorite Things stamps for this card. I cut the panel with a MFT wonky rectangle die and used Distress Markers for the background and to colour the images. I die cut the images with the coordinating dies and added clear Wink of Stella to the balloon. The clouds are a Paper Smooches die. As you can probably spot there is a fault on the rectangle die, there was an area of the cutting parts missing, however it doesn't look so obvious in real life and the dies are on the way back to be replaced.

I love this stamp set, the images are so cute and it was a nice quick card to make. I made it for my sons 17th birthday as he has always liked sheep and luckily he loves it. 

CCT Angels or Fairies

The theme at CCT this week is Angels or Fairies. I have used another Hanglar image for my card which I have coloured with Distress Markers. I cut the card base with another Go Kreate die, and added some paper from a Tilda pad. The other dies are Spelllbinders and Tim Holtz and the sentiment is Hero Arts.

I really enjoyed making this card, its been a while since I used my Distress Markers. I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have another great prize.

CCT Autumn Leaves

This weeks theme at CCT is Autumn Leaves I have made a tag using one of my favourite Edwin stamps and these lovely papers although I'm sure what make they are. Edwin was coloured with Distress markers and I have used quite a few Tim Holtz thinlit dies for embellishments. The word Autumn was cut with the Alphanumeric dies, the leaves are from the mini Tattered Florals and the swirls are from the Scribbles and Splats set. The scalloped edge is a Die-Namics die and the main tag is another Tim Holtz bigz die.

 I still have a few crafty items to sell but have managed to create a bit of space and I have sold more than I have bought which is good and quite surprising! I also treated myself to a new set of drawers so now have a nice crafty area which is remarkably tidy at the moment.

CCT Citrus

The theme at CCT this week is Citrus. I have left the Graphic 45 papers alone this week and have gone back to the Tim Holtz Bird Crazy stamps. I have coloured the bird with Distress Markers, the colours are Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemon and Twisted Citron. The splats are a Crafters Companion stamp and the smaller dots are from a Stampin Up set. I added a Penny Black sentiment, another quick and fun card.

CCT Use a Sentiment

This weeks theme at CCT is Use a Sentiment. I have used one of my new Tim Holtz Crazy Birds stamps which I coloured with Distress Markers. The background is made with Distress Inks and I added an old Magnolia sentiment.

CCT Buttons and Bows

The challenge at CCT this week is Buttons and Bows. I have made a little tag using a Hanglar and Stanglar image which I coloured with Distress Markers. The papers are MME which I was lucky enough to win from Michelle you can visit her fab blog The Card Grotto here. I have added some lace and some flowers and a swirl punched with EK Success punches. The bows are in her hair and the button is in the centre of the flower.

I hope you have a good Easter, I don't think we will be doing much apart from lots of extra dog walks and hopefully some bike rides if the weather is nice and I will try and sneek some crafting time!

CCT Easter

This weeks theme at CCT is Easter. I have made another of my quick cards this time using two old Magnolia stamps which I have coloured with Distress Markers.

I hope you will be able to join us this week as we have another great prize.

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 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!
