Saffire's Stamping

Good Morning and welcome to my new DT post for the new challenge over at Crafty Sentiments Designs Challenge Blog. This time our challenge is an anything goes one and you don't have to use an image from Crafty Sentiments, although we would love to see you use one if you have one!

I used the gorgeous Annabel - Summertime for this challenge and used some different colours from my usual palette of pinks, aqua and purples! I do love this combo though! Always great to try out new ones!

Good Morning and welcome to my DT post for Conie Fong Art & Design. Today I am sharing with you the cute Tori the Dragon. There are a few different images of Tori in the Conie Fong store, but I chose the Birthday Girl as I love the look of that cupcake! Shame I'm not allowed to eat nice things like that anymore unless I am being naughty! LOL

I coloured her up in some nice bright yellow and pinky-purple colours and just about managed to find some matching-ish patterned papers! I usually colour to match the papers, but just coloured this one without thinking of what papers I would use!

Good evening and welcome to my DT post for the new releases this month from All Dressed Up. I got to play with the gorgeous Perfect Day image and I love the Venice scene in this one. I tried to keep to the Italian colours of red, green and white for my patterned papers and I think they work really well with this image.

I visited Venice as an 11 year old, but don't think I really appreciated it back then as all I was interested in was feeding the pigeons on St Mark's Square. I would love to go back one day and do the whole city tourist sites properly!

Good evening. A really quick post from me before I head off to bed for a slightly early night as I am shattered! Betty Roberts of Simply B Stamps fame has started a new group on Facebook called Markers! Papers! Digis! and Unky, as one of the admins and sponsors, is giving away this fabulous image for free to all members who sign up for the East Wind newsletter.

She is called Mermaid Call and was such fun to colour up! The dotty background did take me a while to do though, probably longer than the rest of the image all together, but was so worth it! LOL

Good Morning and welcome to my DT post for Di's Digi Designs Challenge Blog. This fortnight our challenge is called Summer Is Here, so we want to see some summer related creations. Think beach, ice creams, bikinis, flip flops or like mine a cool glass of freshly squeezed lemonade!

I used the adorable Drinky Mice For Two, which you can find on the mice page just here. I was very surprised to find that I do not have any lemon stamps (well I do really! I have an old Stampin' Up one, but I have no idea where it is. It might be in a box in the attic somewhere, but I wasn't going up there to hunt for it!) nor do I have any lemonade sentiments! Must find some good ones in clear rubber to add to the collection!

Anyway instead of using a lemon stamp, I went with a yellow colour combo.

Good Morning and welcome to my DT post for the Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration and Challenge blog. This week the DT were asked to include buttons on their projects so I added just a few to the corner for a little accent on my card using the gorgeous Bon Voyage My Love. I love this nautical themed image!

I kept to shades of blue and added some nautical themed wooden pieces from The Craft Box too. I would never normally buy things like this myself, but love that The Craft box gives me things I wouldn't usually have in my stash!

Good Afternoon and welcome to my DT post for the new Art by MiRan Facebook challenge. Our challenge as always is Anything Goes, but the twist this time is Birthdays, so an easy one to include a birthday sentiment.

Good Morning and welcome to my new release project for The East Wind. This month I chose to use this gorgeous image - just look at all that fabulous long flowing hair!

I ended up with a monochromatic colour combo completely by accident as the RVs I chose ended up being more purple than I remembered. I was going for a pink dress/top! But...a happy accident it turned out to be as I love it!

Good Morning and welcome to my final post for the BeckaB Challenge blog. I have decided to step down from this DT as I just don't really have the time at the minute to fully commit to it. Thank you to Becka and Sandra for having as part of the team, albeit for a short time. You are a lovely team to work with!

Good Morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The East Wind. This fortnight our challenge is for you to make a man's card. Now you might think would be a bit more challenging without any male images in the East Wind store, but the DT have done a fabulous job of creating a man's card with only female images!
