Red Heart Challenge

Getting carried away with it all now, time i went to bed i think ,
but before i do i will just list this card over here
Not exactly an original idea but a take on something i saw on you tube
Punched the hearts on a strip of white card, stuck Scotch tape on the back of them then put red glitter onto the sticky hearts , mounted onto red card then the white base card . The small hearts were punched from white card then covered with Glamour Dust then stuck onto the card The Sentiment is hand written and the heart punched and covered with red glitter .
Ribbon from my stash

VALENTINE / LOVE CHALLENGE

Another card another challenge . This time im sending it over here
Again i have used my cute wee Owl Didgi stamp image ,coloured with Promarkers and highlighted with glossy accents
Cut with my Nellies and mounted onto red and white card stock which was left over from a Christmas pack
Punched with my Doily punch and added the bottem layer of punching using a bit from a 12 x 12 sheet (,no idea who's though )
Ribbons form my stash and sentiment stamped and applied with sticky fixers

Fire and Ice Challenge

Been so long since i entered any challenges i have almost forgotten how . just hope i have done it right .
To kick start me challenging again i am entering this cute wee Owl Valentine 's Card over here
I used a didgi Image coloured with Pro Markers and Glossy accents to the heart and leaves . cut it out with my Nellies ( which i Love almost as much as my Nesties )
Stamped the sentiment onto a punched scalloped circle and used ribbon from my stash

Hi All
Long time NO BLOG
Now that Christmas is over and things are back to normality i intend picking up where i left off .
Will need to spend some time blog hopping and see what you have all been up to .
I have been busy working with some new stamps which were shown today on C&C
The results are shown here was a bit of a challenge with the new deco ladies as this is the 3rd set but was nice to be able to do a male card for a change .
The owls were a real challenge as the stamp comes in 3 separate bits ie 3 different images overlayed on each other, took some lining up i can tell you . Used my Cosmic shimmer misters for some of the backgrounds , i do like them but they are messy or maybe its just me as im a messy crafter lol.
Hope you are all well out there in blog land
