All that glitters isn't gold!

Tuesday Taggers

Silver, Gold and Purple plus some stamping.

Another week rolls around and it's Ildiko's turn to choose the theme of the TT challenge.

Ildiko would like us to prove that gold and silver do work well together, then add a touch of purple and  stamped image and wow what a sumptuous recipe.

I decided that as I desperately need to get on with the Christmas cards that this was definately the way to go. So without further ado here is my card.

 

I've had this stamp for years  so haven't got a clue who it's by or where I got it. I stamped it onto some paper that I had made for an earlier challenge using distress inks. Then matted onto silver mirri board. I put some gold mirri through the cuttlebug and layered it all onto some Core'dinations card. The silver greeting is a diecut. The lilac on this photo is irl more purple, honest.

Feeling inspired to join us this week yet? If you need a bit more persuasion please do pop over to the TT challenge blog to check out the rest of the teams creations.

Right, well I'm off out with my daughter today. We are going to try out  Purnell's Michelin Star restaurant in 

Birmingham.  My mouth's watering at the thought of it.  I'll let you know if it lived up to my expectations.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Taste of the Orient.

Good morning!

Well it's time for the Tuesday Taggers challenge again. Doesn't the time fly?

We had some fantastic Spooky Halloween entries for the last challenge and had great fun visiting the blogs to check them out. Thanks to all who entered.

The theme this week is oriental chosen by our fantastic Zoe.

I haven't used this theme for quite some time so it's nice to have a change.

Quite a simple card which is pretty much self explanatory.  I love the border which was bought from out local garden centre's  silk flower section quite some time ago.

My team mates have come up with  some fantastic designs which I'm sure you'd love to take a look at and I do hope you'll decide to join us for the challenge this week.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for your comments which are really appreciated.

Bye for now

November?

Crafters Companion challenge.

Jacqui's  sketch and option of "One for the Girls"

We have a Sketch by Jacqui and an optional theme of “ONE FOR THE GIRLS” for you this week on Crafters Companion Monthly Challenge, Sara has also sponsored us with a £30 voucher to be spent on the Crafters Companion  Website.  So please come and join us you will find the challenge Here.

Here is my take on the challenge

I've used this gogeous image from Jayne Nestorenko's Adorable collection, very aptly named I think!

The image and bow are both from the stamp plates and are coloured using distress inks and the papers are from the CD.

Don't forget that you don't have to use  Crafters Companion products to enter, just follow the Sketch. To find out more just pop over to the challenge blog.
