Best of British event - day 7

Heya! How are you doing? I'm having a wonderful day. :) It's already Thursday which means weekend is just around the corner. Do you have any plans for the weekend yet? I'm planning to do lots and lots of crafting. :D 

Today I have a bit more things to tell you ...

Firstly, I want to remind you that the Best of British event is still goin on at Crafty ribbons Pure inspiration blog and today is the 7th day of the event. Once again sweet Ali and Tony from Crafty ribbons are sponsoring the event. Ali is celebrating her birthday today (so I hope you'll show her some love :D) and since it's the 24th of the month the prize (which you can get by simply jumping to the Crafty ribbons Pure inspiration blog and leaving your info with the linky thingie) is a £24 voucher for Crafty ribbons store. Truly amazing prize, isn't it? Just imagine all the gorgeous ribbons you can buy with this ...

Secondly, a new challenge just started at Crafty ribbons challenge blog and the theme is "easel card". I hope many of you will come play with us. :) And yes, we have a prize for one lucky participant in the challenge as well. :) The lucky winner of the challenge will win these gorgeous ribbons from Crafty ribbons.

I have only done 2 or 3 easel cards by now so I was a bit worried about this challenge but at the end I was happy with how my card turned out. What do you think of it?

I used the cute Anya from TGF as my main image and I colored her with Promarkers.The red paper you see in the background is from Provo Craft. I used the Spellbinders die for the background and stamped over it with Stampabilities Faded text background stamp. I also used Marianne design swirl die and TH fence die. The butterfly is MS punch. I made flowers on the left upper corner myself - the roses were made with TH Tattered florals die and the center one was made from a circle that I got with Spellbinders die. The flowers on the fence and in the right bottom corner (all except the white one - that is from TH Tattered florals die) are my craft punch. The beads are from my stash. And the ribbon is from Crafty ribbons. :)

I hope you'll come and play with us at our challenge and don't forget to participate in the event as well. :)

I wish you all a wonderful day! Hugs! xx

Best of British event - day 6

Heya! I'm back again - and this time with a card. ;) It's day 6 of our Best of British event at Crafty ribbons Pure inspiration blog and today our sponsor is Pink tulip creations. They are giving the lucky winner this wonderful prize.

Again, to be entered in the draw, you just need to leave your info with the linky thingie at Crafty ribbons Pure inspiration blog. 

If you check Pink tulip creations site you'll notice that they carry lots of different products of various brands. I used some of those on my card too.

I made a thank you card because I don't think you can ever have enough of these on stock. It's a simple card, but I hope you like it. I didn't use any patterned paper, just some white, red and brown papers. I embossed the white paper with Cuttlebug Swiss dots embossing folder. The ribbon is from Crafty ribbons and the butterfly is MS punch. The bigger flowers are a TH die and the small ones are my craft punch. I also used some Spellbinders dies and TH Brushed corduroy distress ink. The stamps is from Fiskars.

That's all from me today. See you tomorrow with another card and another great prize to be won. ;)

Best of British event - day 3

We are already at day 3 with our Best of British event that is going on at Crafty ribbons Pure inspiration blog. If you still haven't checked what this is all about, go to the blog now. I promise you won't be sorry. :) There are lots of inspiration from the DT and each day there's a new prize for grabs. Today's prize was donated by Crafty ribbons. :D Ali and Tony are kindly giving the lucky winner these wonderful ribbons.

All you need to do to have the chance to win these ribbons is to hop over the Crafty ribbons Pure inspiration blog and leave your info with Linky. Also, if you haven't checked the day 1 and day 2 posts yet, you might want to do this too, because there are some yummy prizes for grabs too. ;)

I made a vintage card for today. :) Look, here it is ...

Some time ago I found this gorgeous free vintage teacup digi stamp and I also found a matching sentiment digi and couldn't wait to use it. I didn't do any coloring, I just applied a tiny bit of TH brushed corduroy distress ink on the images. I made the papers myself. The background paper was originally white, so I colored it with TH distress ink and stamped over it with Stampabilities Faded text backgound stamp (you can see the tutorial on how I make this kind of paper; on tutorail I also showed you how to add glitters, but I didn't do this here, otherwise it's the same technique). The paper on the back of the teacup was just plain brown so I stamped over it with Viva decor Floral embellishment stamps. I also used my border punch and the "Stops for tea" ribbon from Crafty ribbons (from the Best of British collection). It was perfect for this card.

I hope you like my card and that you'll stop at Crafty ribbons Pure inspiration blog to see what my teamies made too.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:
Bizzy Becs store: Vintage
Bunny Zoe's crafts: Anything goes
Whimsy stamps: Anything goes
