ATC Turnabout with the House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge DT

Good morning to you all in the land of blog, 

Today sees the next challenge at the 

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge

where the theme has been chosen by the very talented Stacy, she chose

ATC Turnabout
Take your ATC and turn it into a card creation

We have two fabulous sponsors this time around which you would not want to miss, 

a $25 Gift Cert to Simon Says Stamp

and 

a $10 Gift Cert to Sweet Stamp Store

So here is my design team inspirational piece, but don't forget to hop on over to the main challenge site to see the rest of the gorgeous creations by the team .

Now I have never in my life made an ATC, so I called in the expertise of a talented local crafter and a good friend, thanks Sam :)

I created my little ATC and then created the card around it.

I made a New Baby Card, now the blue green representing what I call a mint green card.  This is the colour I knitted with along with cream and peach when I was expecting my first child.  In those days they could not predict the colour, so this was what they called an either or colour choice.

The base colour and contrast is the mint green.  With papers and lace along with the die cut leaves from Grimsby Crafts.  The double layered MS heart punch with Hobby House mint green pearls. The Ribbon and bow from stash.  The floral array all bar one flower are available in ivory from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I have airbrushed these in BG32, just a light dusting along with some icicles stickles.

The image is coloured in copics and is called "Baby Shoes"  This image can be purchased here at the Simon Says Stamp on line store. The image plate has been airbrushed in the BG32 also and a fine sprinkle of the tiny pearls from the Hobby House added.

Joanne Sheen Blog Hop

Good morning to you in the land of blog

Today I would like to show you a piece that I created for the 
Joanna Sheen blog hop,
 after being asked along with many other talented crafters to join the hop as a Guest, by the very talented Paula.

This is my second post for today, please scroll down for my Winter Wonderland inspirational piece.

Now Paula gave us all the same papers to use with our image so the 

 image requested to use was 

House-Mouse Designs Autumn Rubber Stamps - Tumble JSHM020

and the papers

from Summertime Designs

Falling for Fall

The idea behind this hop is to see the diversity of use of different crafters with the same papers and image.

You can read all about the Hop here on the Joanna Sheen Challenge blog.
The hop starts on Mon 1st October and will run till 8pm Sunday 7th October.  

The STAR prize for the blop hop is this amazing setof all 4 Autumn House Mouse stamps

Each DT member will also be giving away a smaller individual prize of Autumnal ribbons and a fab selection of leafy charms.
The winner(s) will be announced on Monday 8th October
Each DT member will announce their winners on their blogs and
 the STAR Prize winner on the main Joanna Sheen challenge blog
So if you have not already do hop over to the
Joanna Sheen Challenge Blog
would hate you to miss out!!

So here is my take on the papers and image requested to use, but you can see many more on the main challenge site starting yesterday and running every day, all different styles with the same image and papers

I got these wonderful leaf dies from our local garden centre a while ago, and thought they would be perfect for an Autumnal creation.

I went for the browns with a little tinge of orange.

The base is a 6.75 inch PATP square, folded in half and distressed with TH antique linen

I chose three papers from the selection and used a deep brown card as the base layer and contrast.

The image plate has been distressed also.

I added an MS punched edge to wrap my dotty brown ribbon around to tie in a little bow at the front.  Added some beautiful lace from Wild Orchid Crafts under this.  Added a little Autumnal coloured rose and two leaf charms along with a selection of pearls.  Ribbon and pearls from the Hobby House.

Here is the close up of the image, coloured in copics.

and a close up of the little leaf charms, may have to get some more of these and that lovely tiny pretty lace too.

I would like to say hello to my new followers, and thank all my wonderful followers and visitors for their lovely inspiring comments, which allow me to hop over and visit you in return.

Nativity Play New Release by Wild Rose Studio

Good morning again, almost the end of the week, but not quite

Today I am showing you another of the new releases by Wild Rose Studio from the Traditional Xmas recent release, this one is called Nativity Play.  Again for reasons beyond my control, I appear to have gone more vintage, I wonder if it is these new nesties that are doing it to me??

Anyway here is my creation, again using some more of those wonderful papers by Bearly Mine.

Quite a soft Xmas card this one and love the colour of these papers.

Base layer is a pearlescent coffee paper, with the MS punched edge wrapped by that lovely soft pastel ribbon again tied in a double bow.  The pearls on this one are from the Hobby House as is the antique snowflake charm.

The close up of the Nativity Play image coloured in copics with the Atyou yellow for the star and halo.

Baby Jesus new Release by Wild Rose Studio

Morning to you all in the land of blog

Today I am showing you another of the new releases by Wild Rose Studio, the Traditional Xmas 2012 release, I enjoyed creating this one, I used a sketch from one of the challenges and some more of those gorgeous Xmas papers from Bearly Mine, wanted a vintage feel to this one.

I am loving these new die cuts from spellbinders so pretty, and this sketch was a great one to follow.  Loved getting my lace out and distressing all the edges, don't you just love making a mess :)

I used a pearlescent red border to this card to pick up the red dress of Mary.  I added some Xmas tree lace and some deep red pearls to match the base colour.  The ribbon is recycled from a present I received and the bling stars, charm and bells are from the Hobby House

The image is Baby Jesus and is coloured in copics with a little Atyou olive, silver and red.  I added those tiny clear diamante's for the twinkly stars and distressed the edges of the frame using TH vintage papers.
