CCT Sparkles

This weeks theme at CCT is Sparkles. I have made another quick card using a Penny Black image which I treated myself to last month. The image is coloured with Copics and I have used a Sue Wilson die for the background. I love this die but unfortunately it doesn't cut very well. I have added a few gems and lots of glitter to the image.

CCT Bells and Bows

The theme at CCT this week is Bells and Bows. I have used a tag and papers from Craftwork cards. I inked around the tag with Distress Ink and added some lace and pearls.

A super quick tag as I am doing quite a bit of overtime at the moment and have very limited crafting time.

CCT Little Angels

This weeks challenge at CCT is Little Angels. I have made a tag using a photo stamp from Stempelglede and Maja Road papers. I stamped the image onto glossy paper using Archival ink and the added a bit of Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink to slightly age the image. I edged the tag and papers with the same ink and added a Prima flower and leaf and some lace. To finish the tag I added some Shabby White Fran-Tage. The tag was cut with a Tim Holtz Altercations die.

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

CCT Ginger Spice

The theme at CCT this week is Ginger Spice. I have made a tag using papers from Craftwork cards. I cut a tag from kraft card using a Tim Holtz die and after adding the paper I put some Fran-Tage and Mica onto it. I coloured the ribbon with rusty hinge distress Ink.

CCT Stars

The theme at CCT this week is Stars. I have made yet another very quick and simple card, the star is punched out of red embossed card and I have added some ribbon and a bow. The sentiment is a very old one from QVC which I have embossed in silver.

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 One Layer Card

This weeks theme at CCT is One Layer card. I made with my with Neenah Desert Storm card and Copics. The Copics coloured the card really well but they do still bleed through to the back a bit so I will have to put an insert in the card. The stamp is Great Impressions and the sentiment is Lily of the Valley. I have added glossy accents to the berries to make them shiny. I think I will be making more of these cards as they are very quick and easy to do.

CCT Anything But A Card

This weeks theme at CCT is Anything but a Card. I have made a canvas for the challenge. I painted the canvas with gesso and texture paste which I applied through punchinella and painted with Distress Stains. The dress form is a Tim Holtz movers and shapers die.

CCT Spots and Dots

We have another great theme at CCT this week Spots and Dots. I made a very quick and easy card using some Making Memories paper and Kraft card. The bottom burgundy strip is embossed with a Stampin Up folder.

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 Awesome Autumn

This weeks theme at CCT is Awesome Autumn. I decided to make an ATC using one of my favourite Magnolia Edwin images. The image is coloured with Copics and I have added a Magnolia sentiment. The papers are some which I won about 7 years ago!

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!
