Copics Colour Challenge #61

Here we are at Wednesday again (where does the time go?) and time for another Copics Colour Challenge. This week we welcome back another of our regular sponsors, InStyle. InStyle offer fabulous designs in digi and rubber which are just a dream to colour.
InStyle are very generously offering this weeks winner 2 digi images from their huge range.
To win, all you need to do is to create something using the following Copic Colours.


I just love these really pretty colours. But if you haven't got these colours.... well, you know the drill by now! Please just use the nearest Copic in your collection which gives roughly the same effect.


You will need to excuse the quality of my photos today. I was running really late with getting my cards finished last night and brought them into work to take the pics first thing this morning. When I got my camera out it appears that I must have left it switched on the last time and the battery had run out. I was in a real panic not knowing what to do, but then had the thought that I could try using my mobile phone - not the best quality of photo, but as this is a DT card and I did not want to let the team down - I guess that anything is better than nothing.

As you can see, I have used one of InStyle's gorgeous imnages and the papers are all by DCWV and I have just cut the little flowers from one of the pieces of paper.

Do pop on by the CCC blog Here to see the gorgeous cards from the others on the DT and read all about this week's challenge.

Oh nearly forgot to mention - I have used the current sketch at Papertake Weekly.

Copic Colour Challenge - #52

At Copics Colour Challenge this week we are back with one of our favourite sponsors this week - InStyle Stamps! This wonderful company are offering 1 lucky winner two digi images of their choice. You can check it all out here are see the gorgeous cards that the DT have made with the In Style Stamps that we were given to work with Here

We have some really pretty colours for you to work with this week, and as always, if you don't have the exact colour just use the nearest copic colour that you have. As long as you use Copics that is good with us.


I just love this In Style image which was a dream to colour. The papers I have used are all from a Prima pad and the flowers are also by prima. The sentiments are both from a £1.49 clear stamp set. I have followed the sketch at Friday Sketchers this week.



Have a great day and I look forward to seeing what you create with these lovely colours.

Well it is Wednesday again and time for another set of yummy colours from Copics colour challenge . Please do not fret if you do not have some of these colours - just use the nearest shade that you have.

I hope you all have fun with these colours and can't wait to see your creations and please don't forget to have a look at what the DT and guest designers have created with these colours Here

Copics Colour Challenge #36

This week we have another fabulous sponsor for you InStyle Stamps! and they are offering one lucky winner 2 glitter pens, a Memento ink pad (in Tuxedo Black) and 2 stamps from InStyle!

The colours were chosen this week by Adele and as always, if you don't have these exact colours, just pick something close and we will be happy. As long as you have used Copics of course! Pop on over to the blog Here to perhaps get some inspiration from what the DT have created with these colours.


The DT were all given the chance to pick an image from In Style to work with this week and I have picked the adorable Rainy Cynthia fairy. I was a bit concerned that she may not fit well with the colours this week, but I am really happy with how she turned out and it gave me an excuse to use these lovely prima flowers that I have had for ages but not had the right colour scheme to go with them. The DP is from a Sandy Lion 12" collection pad and the sentiments are from a CC designs set. The sketch that I have used is first challenge over at The Pixie Cottage blog.


I do hope that you get a chance to look at the fabulous stamps and digi images that In Style have and I also look forward to seeing what you create using these colours.

A Spoon Full of Sugar - Challenge 65 - Travel

Our challenge this week at A Spoon Full of Sugar is Travel. You could use a holiday theme or perhaps a card with some form of transport on it - anything that you can think of that fits the bill of travel.

My DT buddy on Dare U Digi Stamp, Sandra of Sandra Dry Digi Stamps is sponsoring our challenge this week and if you pop on over to the A Spoon Full blog Here you can read all about Sandra's fabulous prize and also see the beautiful cards that the rest of the DT have created this week.

I have gone for the holiday theme for my travel card this week and have used this really cute digi stamp from instyle stamps called Leila. My aunt in California spent much of her childhood in Hawaii and I will be sending this card to her as I think she will appreciate it. I have not put any particular sentiment on it so it could really be used for any occasion. I have used the sketch from this weeks Friday Sketchers and what a great one it is.


The papers for this card and also the flower were from another of the bargain price page layout packs that I picked up while on holiday and this particular one is by making memories.


I have just got all the washing and ironing done from the holiday and got back into the swing of crafting and now I have to head off with work for a few days. I am heading off to Edinburgh which should be really nice as the Festival is on at the moment and there should be a good atmosphere there.

Have a great week.
