Mmm....Cupcakes!!

Afternoon! Today I am sharing a card I have made for the Squiggle Stamps blog :)

I had a good browse through all my Squiggle images and decided to use one of the many accessory stamps available in the Squiggle shop :)

I have used the yummy 'Cupcake'.....a perfect stamp for many celebrations!

I have coloured the image with promarkers and prismas and used bright, happy colours for the card :)

The layout is this week's sketch #195 from Mojo Monday.

There are lots of accessory stamps to coordinate with the Squiggle characters, 'Cupcake' is sized perfectly for Daisy to sit on.....but they also work well on their own.

Dont forget there is a DT call on at the moment at Squiggle HQ :) Check out all the details {HERE}....

Penny Black Saturday #155 ~ 'One for the Guys'....

It's 'One for the Guys' this week over at Penny Black Saturday....

A great challenge to get organised and make a 'Father's Day' card which is coming up soon here in the UK or any card for the special men in your life :)

For my card I have kept it simple and used a black & white colour combo along with the 'Joyful Abandon' Penny Black stamp :)

I love this fun image and dont use it enough!! I must admit I struggled to find a suitable stamp in my Penny Black collection (shocking I know!!) so I think I will have to be adding a couple more 'men' themed PB stamps soon :)

I have coloured the image with promarkers and the foiled musical paper is from Penny Black too.

This week's prize is a Penny Black stamp from the lovely Carole....

Penny Black 'Love Nip'....

I would like to enter the following challenge with my card -
Cupcake Crafts #145 - Things with Tails :)

Looking forward to seeing all your 'One for the Guys' creations :)

Butterflies & Pigtails....

A 'summery' card today :) Although it's pouring with rain outside!!!

I treated myself to a new 'Simply Sassy' stamp from Sugar Nellie so had to get it inked.....I have coloured the image with promarkers and prismas, it's a great image to colour :)

The papers are all freebies from a craft magazine, they are from NitWit ~ Cotton Candy Collection. Even the buttons and bow are paper.....love the effect.

I am entering the following challenges with my card ~

Sugar Bowl #61 - fab sketch from Kiki

Pear Tree Designs #52 - Summer Delights....

Spoonfull of Sugar #155 - 'Here comes Summer'...

My new 'favourite' mice....

I'm back with a card made with a new Penny Black stamp which I think will become a firm favourite!!

Love these cute little mice :)

I have coloured the image with the usual promarkers and prismas in bright colourful shades and used some bright card from Stampin Up which I have dry embossed and covered in clear embossing powder so it's shiny IRL, the photo has'nt captured it!!

The layout is this week's fab sketch from PaperTakeWeekly and I am also entering....
