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 Fancy Corners

This weeks theme at CCT is Fancy Corners. I have made a card using Graphic 45 papers and an image from Stampendous. I have distressed the papers and added ribbon from Creative Expressions. I made a fancy corner using various flowers and leaves. The sentiment and matching punch are Stampin Up.

We had a fabulous time in Rome there is just so much to see, we definitely needed a rest when we got home.

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 Spooktacular

This weeks challenge at CCT is Spooktacular. I have used one of my favourite stamps Crowscape from Stampendous. I have just stamped the image onto white card, run the corner of it through the Cuttlebug Houndstooth embossing folder and inked around the edge of the card with Distress Inks. I also added some Fran-Tage to the corner of the black card. 

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have another fab prize. Have a good week.

CCT Hip To Be Square

This weeks challenge at CCT is Hip To Be Square. I used Kraft card for my card base and a very old Stampendous stamp which I have had for well over 10 years and has never been used before. The image has been stamped and embossed in white and I added a piece of DP, a punched scrap of white card and a ribbon. Another quick and easy card.

I decided not to buy much Christmas stuff this year so I have got 1 set of stamps from Stampin Up called Joyful Christmas and I'm going to see how many different cards I can make with that set! Here is the set I bought - wish me luck!

I'm enjoying a bit of extra crafty time at the moment as I'm off work ill with a injured knee and can't do much else. I was running in the fields last week and one of my spaniels ran straight into the side of my knee at full speed! 

CCT Red & Green

This weeks challenge at CCT is red and green. I have made a Christmas card using this gorgeous Stampendous stamp which I stamped the image onto cream card, distressed with Distress Ink and coloured the image with Prismacolors. I added various Frantage glitters and powders and some ultra fine glitter to the berries.

I hope you'll be able to join in this weeks challenge as we have another fab prize. Enjoy your week.

CCT - One for the Girls

This weeks challenge at CCT is One for the Girls. This is the tag which I made for Kerry's birthday. The tag has been coloured with Distress Stains and ink and the main image is Stampendous. I added a few flowers and pearls to finish it off.

Another super quick post as there's the dreaded housework to do and I really must get on with making Xmas cards! 

Have a good week.

CCT233 Autumn Gold

This weeks challenge at CCT is autumn gold. I have made a card using Distress Stains for the background, which I have overstamped with some bubblewrap and a Tim Holtz scratch stamp. The image is from Stampendous and the die cut is Tim Holtz.

CCT - Pink & Green

This weeks challenge at CCT is pink and green. I have used some pink and green paper from my stash and another Stampendous stamp called Bird Post. The image has been stamped and embossed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and I also used Distress Ink around the edges of the stamped image and the main card.

I have added more Fran-tage glitters, embossing enamels and Mica Flakes and coloured the bird with a very pale pink Copic pen.

I hope you will be able to join in with this week's challenge as we have a fab prize up for grabs. Enjoy the rest of the week and the gorgeous weather we are having at the moment.

CCT - A Touch of Sparkle

This week theme at CCT is A Touch of Sparkle and we have another fab prize to give away. I have used a Stampendous image, Butterfly Post which I stamped and embossed with Vintage Photo distress ink. I coloured the butterfly with Copics and added Fran-tage embossing powders, mica flakes and halo glitters. The edges have been distressed with Vintage Photo distress ink and the papers are Graphic 45. I love using all the Fran-tage range and seem to be putting it on nearly all the cards I make at the moment!! If you click on the photo you can see all the sparkle and embossing detail.

I am also going to enter my card into this weeks Stamp Man challenge which is to use your favourite technique, mine has to be Fran-tage at the moment!!

Have a good Thursday, I shall be asleep (hopefully) for most of the day as I was working last night!
