All Girls Today!

1st Challenge - Sunshine Kisses And Rainbow Wishes



It's the start of a new month, so this means new challenges, three in fact, so here's my first. Sir Stampalot . So August's challenge theme is "Whatever You Fancy", So nice and easy. The team have come up with some gorgeous inspiration for you and if you want to see the fab prize kindly donated by Sir Stampalot themselves, here it is:-

It seems that we are having quite a few peeps not sticking to our rules, so if you would like to be in with a chance to win the above prize then plaese remember entries may be combined with a maximum of five other challenges - i.e: six in total.


So onto my card for this months challenge, I had a right good old play. I got Craft Stamper magazine last month for the first time (just been back and got this months, I'm hooked, I love it), and made my first tag using Distress Inks, embossing powder and a stamp, I know i'm a bit behind everyone else in the techniques department Lol! So I incorporated the tag onto my card. See my recipe below for details.


This is also for the following challenges:-
1. Diva's By Design - challenge 7 - Summer

2. Paperplay Challenges - week 30 - In The Garden

3. Craetive Inspirations - challenge 65 - Summertime

4. Simon Says Stamp & Show - Show A Tag (there's a tag on my card)



2nd Challenge - Sharing A Moment

Todays the start of a new month, so it also sees a new challenge form Penny Black @ Allsorts, so the theme for August is "Free & Easy", so anything goes, how simple is that. Just remember to use your Penny Black stamps though.You will know there are always good prizes up for grabs and lots of fabulous inspiration from the DT, so pop on over and join in, maybe use one of your neglected penny Black stamps as it's an open theme this month.

Tracy said...

Love all your cards. I really like your tag, everything with that card flows so nicely together.
As for colouring my images without knowing which papers I am going to use. I have waaay more pattern papers then I do marker colours. So it is easy to match the papers :)

I am in awe of your colouring, it is flawless.
