Harriet goes Pastel at Crafty Catz

Good evening hope you have had a good friday I have been shopping and got some bargins a bag of ribbon for £5 there must be about 50 metres in although only 4 colours and some nice lace in the sale. Then went to asda and got a pair of sandles for £3.

Any way I am not here to go on about my shopping trip but to tell you about our challenge at CRAFTY CATZ

This weeks challenge is picked by our lovely and crazy Sassy who sadly has had to step down due to personal problems. We wish her well with the next month and what it has in store for her. So the challenge is

PASTELS

The sponsor for this challenge is the fab diecut company CRIMSON CLOUD with 3 packs of diecuts for our winner.

Also we are looking for our GDT for September so if you fancy trying out you dont have to have experience as a dt member as this is maybe the 1st steps to try being a DT memeber. Our challenge was started up for crafters of all abilities and we have had both GDT that have been on many challenge blogs and also people that have never been on one and have since gone on to be a member of a team. So if this sounds like something you would like to do then just enter the challenge and add GDT after your name.

Ok that over i will show you my card using a NEW DIGI BY CRAFTY SENTIMENTS call Harriet - Lady Bird and Butterfly you can find her here.

I have coloured her with my promarkers and the background i have used my distressed ink raspberry to shade the card. A doily some liquid pearls some nice pink satin ribbon from my local shop a couple of recycled buttons in the corner and the sentiment stamps are small unknown, The pink mess at the bottom is from Crafty Ribbons. Well a simple little card but I do love this little Harriet and checkout the rest of her on the site.
Well hope you all have a wonderful weekend and if you get chance to play we would love you to come play with us dont forget to add GDT if you are interest.

Fave Colour Combo

Hello back with another challenge for you and yes you can combine both of my challenges I am bring today.

The 2nd is from DIVAS BY DESIGN and what a great easy challenge again.

Let us see your FAVE COLOUR COMBO

well if you are like me it changes like the seasons guess it is the Gemini in me

We are sponsored by the wonderful

Iva nova chest

and they are providing this prize in their favourite colour combo too!

So what colour did I pick well I had to make this card for a neighbours daughter and she does like balck so instead of the usual black and white thought i would mix it up with Lilac

Ingredients are 

Uptown girl stamp coloured with promarkers. DP is from stash and must be at least 6 years old. Black card and Black glitter paper. Heat embossed Lili of the Valley sentiment. The flowers are Diemanics prima donna petals with liquid pearl centre. I think the black really makes the Lilac pop what do you think? The letters are also by the same die company.

Ok I must dash as I am out for lunch with a few friends celebrating a birthday no not mine.

Thanks for popping by hope to see you other there checking out the rest of the amazing colour combos.

Good morning the Sun is shining and We,re All Going On A Summer Holiday do you want to come too.

Well that the theme set by the lovely and talented Jac this week at Crafty Sentiments. Yes it is my 2nd GDT spot, so how about you come along too yes fancy a Freebie to join us well checkout the blog for details

The team have all gone to the Seaside this week and we would love you to pick up your brushes pens and paper and join us there. Dont fancy the freebie not sure why then head on over to the shop here there is a massive sale on with lots of brilliant reductions

Ok so now you have theme for this weeks challenge. Lets see what we have for your winner. Remeber you dont have to use one of our images but if you do dont forget to add a 3 after your name so you get entered into the hat 3 times

So which image did I use you maybe asking

Our Beautiful - Primrose- Beach life

 Close up of the stamp

Well I think she is well and truly ready for the beach how about those sun glasses a girl has to have pink dont you think so. I have coloured my image with my Promarkers and added a touch of 3d gloss to the ring and the glasses not sure it shows up on the ring.  Used my new Sizzix die for the image and a spellbinder to mount the sentiment on thought it reminded me of the Sun. Ribbon is from my stash and some tiny papermania buttons. Dp is Minds eye and freebie from a mag. This is much brighter in real life yesfolks well the image is but the sun either bleached the colour or inside it was too dark. Must experiment with my camera more.

Ok so now you have seen I must dash as the bus is leaving for the beach and i need my sun factor. lol
