All Things Magical and Mythical #43 Featuring Alyce Copic Fairy from The Stamping Chef

Good morning everyone and welcome to this week's All Things Magical and Mystical post. For this week's card, I pulled out a very old digi, which I coloured up many many years ago now for a promo when I was on The Stamping Chef design team. Unfortunately the company is no more, but I just happened to find this already coloured image in a box of old bits and bobs and thought it would be a great one to use.

As it has been so long since I coloured her, I'm not 100% certain of the copic combos I used back then, but have guessed at what I think they might be! I couldn't find any papers with my colour combos on! 

I made this cute scene using my Fairy Door die from Tonic Studios, another die bought so long ago and only used once! I am trying to use some of the stuff I have, really to justify all that spending! LOL

This card is for

The East Wind and Kit & Clowder 10,000 Event New Release

Yep another post from me for the Kit & Clowder 10, 000 member party. Being on the East Wind DT we got to play with this image, but it was another one I couldn't find my mojo to help me finish yesterday. Luckily she returned to me this morning and I managed to make this card up!

Just how cute is this Super Chunky image?! I coloured her up to look like my kittie Tallulah, who is a Blue British Shorthair and is a blue-ish, purple-ish, grey-ish colour depending on how the light hits her fur!

Here's a fairly recent picture of her, hissing at me telling me she is NOT under any circumstances going to move out of the way, so I can get my crafting stuff out from its little corner of the bedroom!

And here's my Super Chunky who seems to be loving that basket of wool! Just glad I don't knit as well as I know Tallulah would eat all the wool up! LOL

Miss Kitty Does Catwoman

This week is the first challenge over at Art by MiRan and is an Anything Goes challenge, so is Papertake Weekly's Challenge - love those ones! This card is also for Crafty Little Fairies Challenge to be inspired by a film or song title so I went with Catwoman, although I couldn't do her in black - I needed colour today! I took inspiration from my own cat Tallulah instead, who is a Blue British Shorthair and an odd shade of bluey-grey, so I used blues and greys to come up with this card. Love this image! 

And here's a little photo of Tallulah trying to hide underneath the Kindle Fire! (Can never get a good picture of her eyes though - they're just too bright!)

VSN Back to School Challenges D, E & F

This is the next part of my VSN Challenges from Splitcoast Stampers this weekend.

Challenge D, hosted by Carla, was Phys Ed or PE to us British Teachers and you had to include some sort of physical activity in your card. I haven't done my card for this challenge yet, so will upload it tomorrow when I do it! ETA Done my card now! This one is also for Just Add Ink's Challenge #136 to just add kids and CR84FN63 to use these colours - perfect for a boy's card!

And here's my card.

Recipe:

Challenge E, hosted by Alicaz, was to make a bookmark. I combined this one with CC393 to use Lucky Limeade, Primrose Petals and Pink Pirouette. I no longer use bookmarks as I have my beloved Kindle instead (I always said I wouldn't have one as I love the feel and smell of a new paperback, but I would not be without my Kindle now!), so I'll pass this one on to someone who will use it.

Recipe:

Challenge F, hosted by Lori, was to use some type of supply on your card or project that you would find in the classroom. I used one of my cute mini bulldog clips! I use various different types of clips at school but not ones this size :P I used the sketch from Stamping Royalty's Challenge #142 and the colours from Play Date Café's Challenge #150 as well.

And here's my card.

Recipe:

And that's all for this post folks! Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to pop back for my other VSN Challenges posts.

A few blues...

The other cards I did this weekend all have blue in...

My first one is for Just Magnolia's Challenge #111 for the sketch and Totally Tilda's Challenge #24 to use red, white and blue. I just bought this Tilda stamp and think it is really cute, so just had to use it for a little thank you card.

Recipe:

Stamps: Strawberry Yummy Tilda from Magnolia, Cupcake Collection from PTI

Papers: Cherry Cobbler, Bashful Blue, Jolly Holiday DSP all from SU, Copics White, Strawberry DSP from Magnolia

Inks: Cherry Cobbler from SU, Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics

Accessories: Bashful Blue Grosgrain Ribbon from SU, Roses from eBay, Lace from Cuddy Buddly, Oval Nestabilities

My next one is a father's day card with a difference. Our little kitten is now 12 weeks old and I thought it might be quite cute to make a Father's Day card for my boyfriend from her as a little joke! This one is for Viva La Verve's Sketch #2 for June, Free For All #68 to use some of your neglected stamps (I think I last inked this set up at Christmas) and for Stampin' Royalty's Challenge #75 Let's Celebrate Dad.

Recipe:

Stamps: Cat Plate 1 from Pink Cat Studio, Paw Prints Wheel from SU, Tag It #2 from PTI

Papers: Marina Mist cs and DSP from Subtles Stack, Basic Gray cs and DSP from Neutrals Stack all from SU, Copics White

Inks: Not Quite Navy from SU, Memento tuxedo Black, Copics

Accessories: Labels 4 Nestabilities, Marina Mist Ribbon from SU, Medium Scallop Border Die from PTI

And my final card for today is for Color Throwndown's Challenge #145 to use Baja Breeze, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz, Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #140 (I was very liberal with this sketch though) and Paper Pal Arts Challenge #97 to show your signature style. I guess my style is layers of colour with some patterned paper and usually some ribbon, so I think this card covers that one.

Recipe:

Stamps: Calendar Basics, Beautiful Blooms II both from PTI

Papers: Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Very Vanilla, Elegant Soiree DSP all from SU

Inks: Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron both from SU

Accessories: Beautiful Blooms Dies #1 from PTI, So Saffron Grosgrain Ribbon (retired), Sweet Buttons Embosslits from SU

And that's it for today folks! Thanks for stopping by!

May VSN Challenges A - E

It's Virtual Stamp Night over on Splitcoast Stampers again this weekend (bad timing really though as we picked our kitten up on Friday and all I want to do is play with her, but I have been crafting whilst she's been asleep). There were 5 challenges on Friday night, which I did on Saturday morning/afternoon as they start at 11pm our time and I was just too shattered to start crafting at that time of night :P

Challenge A was to use aqua, light green and kraft. This card is also for Papertake Weekly's Bloom and Grow challenge to use flowers and Mojo #191 for the sketch.

Recipe:

Stamps: Friends Til The End from PTI

Papers: Aqua Mist, Stampers Select White both from PTI, Pear Pizzazz, Bella Bleu DSP (retired) both from SU

Inks: Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz both from SU, Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics

Accessories: Aqua Mist Grosgrsan Ribbon, Linen Impressions Plate both from PTI, Card Candy from Craftworks Cards

Challenge B was to hide something, so I made a flower pot card with a hidden greeting inside! I used the colours from Totally Hues #7 to use Sweet Blush, Lemon Tart, Berry Sorbet and Spring Moss - I did have to add some Creamy Caramel for my pot though! This is the flower pot with the message hidden...

And this is the message revealed...

Recipe:

Stamps: Flower Garden Sentiments from PTI

Papers: Creamy Caramel (retired) from SU, Spring Moss, Lemon Tart, Berry Sorbet, Sweet Blush, Stampers Select White all from PTI

Accessories: Beautiful Blooms Dies #1, Delightful Dahlias Dies, Berry Sorbet Buttons, Lemon Tart Buttons, Sweet Blush Buttons, Linen Impressions Plate all from PTI, Lemon Yellow Bakers Twine from the Ribbon Reel, SCallop Trim Border Punch from SU

Challenge C was to use 3 R's on a project. I kind of cheated a bit and used the colour names for my cardstock/ink as part of my Rs! (I did have ribbon and roses as well though!) I also used SC333 and CC323 to use Rich Razzleberry, Regal Rose and Very Vanilla.

Recipe:

Stamps: Bella Blossoms from SU, Mega Mixed Messages from PTI

Papers: Regal Rose, Very Vanilla, Rich Razzleberry cs and DSP from Brights stack

Inks: Regal Rose, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive

Accessories: Fairytale Ribbons (retired) from SU

Challenge D was to make a criss-cross card. I haven't done one of these for absolutely ages! This one is also for Just Add Ink's Challenge #68 to use Pear Pizzazz, Baja Breeze, Perfect Plum and White and for Stampin' Royalty's Challenge #72 to use birds.

Recipe:

Stamps: Little Bitty Bird, Signature Series: Dressform both from PTI

Papers: Pear Pizzazz, Baja Breeze, Perfect Plum DSP (retired) all from SU, Stampers Select White from PTI

Inks: Pear Pizzazz from SU, Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics

Accessories: Baja Breeze Ribbon (retired), Scallop Trim Border Punch both from SU

Challenge E was to use boat or beach images. I'm really limited on these so decided to use my Surfer Ian and do the Farm Fresh Summer Challenge as well. I used the colours from Play Date Cafe's Challenge #82 to use mid brown, light blue and yellow and Viva La Verve's Sketch #4 for May. I made the whole card up before I dug out my stamps. I couldn't find Surfer Ian anywhere! You know why?! Coz I don't actually have him - I have Skateboarder Ian instead! I was so convinced I had him, so had to drop the FFF challenge and use my Sporty Billy stamps instead!

Recipe:

Stamps: Sporty Billy, Lily At The Beach both from Pink Cat Studio

Papers: Soft Suede, Bashful Blue, So Saffron DSP (retired), Elegant Soiree DSP all from SU

Inks: Bashful Blue, Soft Suede both from SU, Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics

Accessories: Photo Corners Punch from SU, Oval Nestabilities, Cloud dies (used as a mask), Double Ended Banner Die, Rick Rack XL Die all from PTI

And that's all for this post folks! Thanks for stopping by!
