Copics Colour Challenge Card

This week over at the copic colour challenge , our colours are for Challenge 11...
My mint green BG13 was running out so i replaced with BG09 which i used for the leaves.
The image i used is Tilda and the papers are Minds eye and from the collection Bloom and Grow.
Please bob along to the copics challenge blog and see the gorgeous cards by the rest of the DT members - remember if your joining in on the challenge .. you dont have to have the exact colours if you dont have them - your closet match will do.

Now over the last day or so my boyfriend Calvin has been very quiet ! He has been busy doing a tutorial .. remember his fab wallet that was featured on the Inspirational blog ? well he has now put the tutorial on how to make it on his blog ... for a gander look here ..http://mishapsinthemaking.blogspot.com/

Lots of challenge cards and a naughty rotty !

Copic Colour challenge
I made this tilda card for the copic colour challenge Dt . I drew the trunk of the tree myself as i didnt have a tree stamp - i was really chuffed that it turned out so well. The leaves are punched out from a leaf punch.

Now i have such alot of catching up to with sending things to friends ... as i started this card i thought to myself how nice it would be to make a holder for some stamped images to send to a friend of mine, i also wanted to put a little tutorial together for her for colouring with copics... anyway like i said i had sooo much catching up on this to do that i ended up making rather a few and joining in on some challenges too!.

Card and gift set , Calvins cupcake Tutorial...

I made this little card and gift set from some papers i got from an old scrap-a- gogo kit .. they reminded me of chocolate ! sorry i dont know what they are called - i accidently threw the strip off!
The card has Tilda sat on a cake and i made some fimo earrings and a cupcake dolly to match.
The little box i made ages ago - Its called a mini pizza box if you look in google there should be a few tutorials on how to make it.

The little cupcake dolly has a hat with a cupcake shape and a cherry on the top !
she is also holding a tiny cupcake and looks like she is ready to eat it !!


The lid opens up to reveal the earrings cutely attached to a stand... I used a stamping up scallop circle for the middle ...

I cut up a cellophane card bag and glued it inside for the window.



When the earrings are taken out , they have there own stand.
I used a martha stewart punch for the bottom.

Want to know how to make the cupcake earrings ... well i think we are just in time for Calvin Mouse to shows --- p.s .... watch out for Rotty Rat in the photo..... calvin my boyfriend and his two girls are up for a week and Rotty hasnt been behaving at all !!!!!

Crafty Tuesday !

Well todays been a busy day ! Ive made two cards .. heres my entry for the friday Stetchers challenge card - the basic challenge is in there somewhere ... i think i may have gone alittle over the top with the corners !
The image is Tilda and i believe its one of the new spring collection I stamped out when having a crafty afternoon with Juliet a blogging buddy.

This card is made using the Cute Daisy May image downloads , isnt she cute ! They remind me of '50's dolly images ! I remember buying dollies and on the packaging would be an image very simular to this one . It brought back lovely memories .
