Crafty Calendar July Challenge - Add a Ribbon

Good afternoon.  Hope you are keeping safe and well.  A few lockdown restrictions have been lifted today so a happy 4th of July to you all.

 Lots of places can reopen, cinemas, bars, restaurants, museums, etc, if you feel brave enough and can safely keep socially distanced.  Hairdressers can also reopen today so everyone's lockdown hairdos will soon start to be history 

It's the first Saturday in the month and we have a new challenge for you

over at Crafty Calendar.  The theme this month is

'ADD A RIBBON'

Today being the 4th of July although I don't celebrate it,  I have a card for those among you who do commemorate American Independence Day, it also gave me an excuse to colour a digital image I have had for ages and not used.

I have used Wryn the Patriot from Tiddlyinks coloured with copics.

The background is stencilled stars and I added some blue spotty and also red and white ribbons.

We are sponsored for this challenge by

Crafty Ribbons

Pop over to Crafty Calendar and share your projects with ribbons in this months challenge, and while you are there check out the gorgeous DT creations.

Tiddly Inks Skater Girl Wryn Birthday Card

Good morning .  I hope everyone is well.  What an amazing week of weather we had here in the Midlands.  On Wednesday due to the amount of rain that fell in a short amount of time every route home from work was flooded.   I don't think I've ever seen rain like it, a number of vehicles were submerged, so I decided the only option was to park up and head to the pub to wait it out....I know a number of people that had their homes flooded so I was lucky it just affected my route home.

This weekend is celebrating the Queens 90th Official Birthday with the trooping of the colour and street party in the Mall.  My Brownie pack had our own red, white and blue tea party on Thursday celebrating the occasion with red, white and blue cupcakes, jellies and biscuits and making paper plate crowns.  I have a card to share today and it's just by coincidence it's in a patriotic red, white and blue.

I have used:

Tiddly Inks Skater Girl Wryn coloured with copics.

DP's are from my stash.

Red, white & blue ribbon threaded through a star border die cut

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Happy Bee Day To You

Morning all.   I have another card to share today.....I went to one of the papercraft shows a few weeks ago so have spent a little time just playing with some of my goodies.

For this card NO DP's involved...not like me at all.

Items used:

Background - Grunge Paste used with a Honeycomb Stencil by Imagination Crafts and then coloured with Mustard Distress Ink.

Jus-Cutz Hexagon Die.

Kanban Lace Floral Mat Clear stamp embossed with white embossing powder.

Lawn Fawn Bugs & Kisses clear stamp set coloured with copics and embossed with clear embossing powder and cut using the matching Lawn Fawn Bugs & Kisses die set.

Sentiment from the Tiddlyinks "Happy Bee Day" stamp set.

Gosh there was a lot of items involved with making this card I though the list was never going to end.  I just fancied a change and it nice just to have a play with products with no plan or reason to make the card.

Thanks for stopping by...

Tiddly Inks Picture Perfect Wryn Birthday Card

Good morning to all.  I have another Tiddly Inks card to share with you today.

Just in case you didn't know Tiddly Inks are having a DT call, it closes on the 31 July so you still have time to get your card made using your favourite Tiddly Inks image and post it on the Tiddly Inks blog.

For my card I have used:

Tiddly Inks digi image "Wryn Picture Perfect" coloured with copics.

The DP's are from the Wild Rose Studio Vintage Rose paper pack

I used these papers because I was going for a vintage wallpaper feel to the card... not sure if I achieved that goal....

Now off to start baking some cupcakes for our "party" tomorrow...

Thanks for stopping by.

Tiddly Inks For The Birds Birthday Card.

Good evening to all.  Today is my OH's birthday, because we're having a few people around on Sunday I hadn't really planned anything special for Martyn's birthday today other than us both having the day off work, so we decided to go for lunch and then to the cinema to see "The Wolverine"...fab film.... so now we're back home I have just enough time to share the card that I made for him.

With him being a birdwatcher the card always has to have birds on it....

I have used:

Tiddly Inks "For The Birds" digi stamp coloured with copics.

The DP's are from the My Minds Eye Bloom & Grow paper pack.

It's a good job he only has six letters in his name or I might have been in a bit of trouble...  and I know the card doesn't have particularly masculine colours but at least I didn't pick girly pink...which Martyn was relieved about...

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Divas By Design - Anything Goes

Craft Your Passion - Happy Birthday

The Crafters Cafe - Anything Goes

Crafts And Me - Anything Goes

Creative Inspirations - BINGO (Twine, Buttons, Sentiment)

Thanks for stopping by.

DP's are a mixture of Dovecraft Princess Fairytale and My Minds Eye Pretty Please paper packs

The greeting is from Lili of the Valley

The flower is cut from felt using the Marianne Designs die - Ribbon Flora 3
