The Paper Shelter Challenge #650 - Anything Goes with the optional twist of Bookmark It!

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is our usual Anything Goes challenge with the optional twist, this week, of making a bookmark.

Scene It Sunday #197 Featuring BBQ Chef Gnome from Polkadoodles

Good morning and welcome to this week's Scene It Sunday, although it not too much of a scene as I printed my BBQ chef a bit too big, which didn't leave much room for anything else but some sky and grass!

All Things Magical and Mythical #73 Featuring Angel from Alicia Bel

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mythical post. For today's card I am using the gorgeous digital stamp that I got from entering Alicia Bel's previous Facebook challenge to enter this month challenge, which is to use embossed paper. I don't use my embossing folders very often, not sure why not as I do like how they look, but tend to forget I even have a huge box full! 

Anyway...here's my monochromatic card using the only sheet of Powder Pink patterned paper that I have which goes pretty well with the Petal Pink, which I hardly ever use as I find it's not pink enough and not peach enough, but a weird combo of the two! 

This card is for

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mythical post.

Unfortunately they don't exist anymore, which is a shame as I loved these quirky, sometimes a bit naughty, images! 

Anyway, here's my project. I made a wall hanging with this fabulous sentiment from Stamping Bella as well.

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post. Today's card was one of my final Christmas card makes. I just had to use this cute Stamping Bella image after hearing the sad news about Emily from Stamping Bella. My condolences go out to all her family and friends. Her images have always been adorable and I have so many of them, including several of her earlier ones on the unmounted red rubber, which I will have to pull out and stamp up again.

Here is today's card featuring these adorable cuties. I made this one for my boyfriend's Christmas card as he always moans that I never make him one. He always sees what I make so I can never surprise him with a card, but managed to sneak this one past him!

Scene It Sunday #118 featuring Three Witches from Stamping Bella

Good morning and welcome to this week's Scene It Sunday post. This will be my final Hallowe'en themed project (I think!) as it will be time to move on to Christmas cards now as I always need way more than I make! 

As a big fan of Hocus Pocus I just had to get this new stamp from Stamping Bella featuring the three witches and decided to make a box frame for them. The box frame itself was only £4 from Hobbycraft and the perfect size as well. The actual picture was a 6x6 inch square and although you can't really tell in the photo, every layer has been popped up on foam pads with more and more being added each time. 

I love how this came out and think I will buy some more of these frames to make a Christmas/winter one, maybe even one for each season!

All Things Magical and Mythical #44 Featuring Unicorn from Simply Sweet Stamps

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mystical post. I found this image in my already coloured pile and thought she would be perfect for today's post. The unicorn set is from Simply Sweet Stamps and was sold through Lily of the Valley Stamps. 

I wanted her on or with a rainbow and thought I would use my new Over The Rainbow stencil set from Altenew. I have to say it was very fiddly to use with inks having to tape down every section and hold the ends while trying to use my blender brush at the same time. It also left gaps between some of the arcs, but I went over the whole rainbow with my clear Wink of Stella brush pen and it blended it all together much better. Looks almost water coloured with a touch of shimmer now!

All Things Magical and Mythical #41 Featuring Edna In A Clam from Stamping Bella

Good morning and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mythical post. I thought I would carry on with some of my mermaid stamps that I never got to use last month during #mermay for this week's post. This card uses the cute Edna In A Clam from Stamping Bella. I do love the Edna stamps as she's such a fun character! 

I went for a fairly simple card with an inked background and some die cuts to make it look like she's having a nap in her clam shell amongst the seaweed.

Mermay Monday #1

Good morning! As it is May, I thought I would do my Mermay posts like I have done for the past couple of years or so! I have tried doing a mermaid themed card every day, but it was just too much for me to try and keep up, so am sticking with doing a weekly one instead again this year.

For today's post, I have used the gorgeous Mermaid Gang from All Dressed Up and added in a bubbly background using my chalks and a stencil and it almost looks a bit like a bokeh background. Something different for a change and I quite like it!
