Dare U 2 Digi Stamp - Challenge 7, Lilac and Lemon

It's Friday already and time for another Dare U 2 Digi Stamp challenge. This week it is a colour combination and this one is lilac and lemon, which I have to say is one of my favourite combinations. Check out the blog to see the beautiful cards that the rest of the DT have made with this combination.
The DP on my card this week are all from Stampin Up and the images are Dustin Pike's. The sentiment is from a Stampin Up set and the ribbon from my stash. I haven't put any more embelishment on this card as I just loved the DP and did not want to cover it up anymore.

I don't always take a picture of the back of the card, but have done this time as I wanted to show you my new stamp that was given to me as a present by Tracy Dowie who runs the Stampin Up club that I belong to. Tracy kindly designed and had these stamps made for all the club members so that we could use it whenever using stampin up stamps - thanks again Tracy - it is much appreciated.

Dare U 2 Digi Stamp - Challenge 4 - things with wings

Sorry to be so late with this post, but I am away with work and this is the first chance I have had all day to get on the internet. It is our 4th Challenge at Dare U 2 Digi Stamp and this week the theme is 'Things with wings' which could be a winged character on your digi image, things with wings in the pattern of your paper, a charm, etc. Check out the blog to see the wonderful ideas that the rest of the st have come up with.
Here is my card

I used this fun image from Dustin Pike. The papers are all sample papers from Stampin Up that I got from Tracy Dowie who runs the Stampin Up club that I belong to - thanks Tracy. I have just noticed that the flowers and the dragonfly also came from Tracy - so double thanks Tracy. The sentiment is from High Hopes.
I am on Skye at the moment with work and it has been pouring rain all day, I have just phoned home and apparently it has been another good day there - seems like it has been good everywhere apart from here! Perhaps tomorrow will be better - fingers crossed. I do hope so as it is really beautiful here and I wanted to get some nice photos to show you.
There were some fabulous card from last week's challenge and I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with this week.

Inspirational Card Sketches #13

It is Tuesday and time for another great sketch from Dawn at Inspirational Card Sketches. I found this one really challenging, but hey that is what challenges is all about ahd I know you will love it. This week's challenge has been sponsored by Dustin Pike and if you pop on over the the ICS blog you will get his contact details to check out his fab images.

For my card this week I have broken away from my usual pinks and pastels as I thought that this cheeky little fairy which incidently is one of Dustin's, needed something really colourful and bold. The papers are from a pack from Kaiser Craft and the sentiments are from a set of stickers that I have had for ages that came in a scrapbook pack and I think they may be by Doodlebug and they are just perfect for this little lady. Flowers are prima and the white flower brad with the jewel on it is doodlebug.
