SPCC #14 - More monsters.

I swear that the weeks are flying by quicker and quicker. No sooner has my last post for SPCC been added then it is time for another on - even though they are only every 2 weeks. This week is a great colour combo for cards for all those men in our lives. I am really enjoying making masculine cards at the moment, love the blues, browns, greys, greens etc that always seem to go into the cards I make for men.

So this week over at SPCC - come and play along with these fabulous colours!

Here is my little monster card - I loved making this card sooo much. As I have a 4 year old son, I am always adding to my stamp sets with boy orientated stamps - monsters, aliens, rockets, trains, trucks, cars etc. This is a cool stamp set from October Afternoon - Night Light Clear Stamps - ST-345. The sentiment is from Hero Arts - Happiness Messages - CL148.

SPCC #11 - More chances to win Copics!

Another challenge has been posted over at Scrapmaster's Paradise Colour Combo Challenges. The colours look tricky, but green and brown go really well together - look at nature!

Fabulous iCopic.com are the sponsors again this week. They are our sponsors for the whole month! Thanks so much iCopic.com!. Look at the prize below that you can win - fantastic!

So, although it wasn't my Diva week at SPCC, I have made a card for the challenge - and I will be giving it to my Gran who turned 87 on Friday! Happy Birthday Gran. I used a sentiment from the Stampin Up Tiny Messages set and the background is actually a cuttlebug Folder - Victorian - which I used as a stamp. Embossed with versamark, ran it through the Cuttlebug and then embossed with white embossing powder.

SPCC Finally Friday - Monotone

Finally got around to playing along with one of SPCC's Finally Friday Challenges. This week the wonderful Robbyn has set the challenge and it is to make a card in Monotone - picking just one colour. So the colour I picked was purple, and okay, her face is flesh colour - but hey I couldn't really make it purple as well!!!

I actually used paint swatches for the project - no better way to get monotone that using paint colours - so many different purples to put together. I stamped the tree (Hero Arts K5094) with the Hero Arts Shadow Ink - Soft Lilac - then embossed with clear embossing powder. Coloured the doll from Hero Arts CL297 with purple copics after embossing her in black. Then layered it all together with lovely gems, and put on a Bazzil Bling purple card and used Martha Stewart ribbon in Plum and Hydrangea - an here we are.

SPCC #10 - Win 12 Copic Markers!!!

Hi All - another fantastic week on SPCC. Here are the colours for this week - great inspiration - especially if you want to do Halloween Cards. But being in Australia we don' really do Halloween, so I don't have an Halloween stamps - oh well.

Our sponsor this week is:

iCopic.com as the name suggests is a Copic retailer. They sell all the Copic varieties and accessories for your colouring needs. iCopic.com has awesome prices, great customer service, and an awesome selection. If you need Copic markers, iCopic.com is the place to go, and this week they have offered a fantastic prize - a pack of 12 Copics!!! Amazing - thanks so much iCopic.com - I wish I was in for a chance to win them! I'll just have to drool...

Here is my card - probably my most favourite card that I have ever made - and I used wonderful Copics - love them, love them, love them. I have always been a watercolour pencil girl, so all my images have been really light and shaded. But now I have discovered the wonderful brightness of Copics! I used the following colours: V04 Lilac, YR04 Chrome Orange and Y35 Maize.

I used the copics to colour in some white Kaisercraft flowers, and the paper flowers just sucked the colour in and left them looking amazing and bright. For the flower I used Hero Arts stamp F5158 Heart Winged Butterfly, and stamped him in black and coloured the wings. Then from inspiration from the amazing Ashley - here - I stamped the butterfly with black Staz On onto Acetate and cut it out, bent the wings and overlay it on the coloured butterfly to give it beautiful wings. The sentiment is from Hero Arts Clear Design CL285 and the purple swirl from a Hero Arts Christmas set from a few years ago, which I don't have the number of - sorry. Used a fiskars punch to do the bottom of the card. Gems used from Kaisercraft.

SP Colour Combo#7

Time for another Scrapmaster's Paradise Colour Combo - here. Love these summery colours - brightens up things here in cold Victoria - I think it is about 7 degrees and raining outside at the moment. But then again most normal people are probably tucked up in bed at this time - midnight!!! Once again I have been caught out doing more cards - I have to admit it is an addiction!!

So here is the card that I came up with. I wanted a quite neutral subtle background so I used Kraft cardstock. I used Hero Arts stamps, gems and flowers. The yellow and blue flower I found in a pack of Making Memories {note}worthy glitter diecuts. Matched pefectly!

Supplies - Hero Arts CL151 Share Laughter and S5142 Floral Wood Background, versamagic chalk ink - turuoise.
