Button it for Christmas- Part 2

For some reason I can't seem to post these in the last one, so have done two separate lots. Both of these cards were made using the DCWV Christmas stack. The image is a Penny Black stamp, coloured with Sakura gel pens and some I Kan'dee chalks for the actual cat. The greeting is from the Hero Arts 2007 set. Finished with a Doodlebug button.

Button it for Christmas- Part 1

This challenge was from last friday on the Just Bex forum- Simple one this week - all cards must include BUTTONS. Any buttons, whether normal or novelty. Each card is made using a Penny Black stamped image. I had quite a few left over from last year, so thought I'd put them to good use.


This one was made using the DCWV Christmas stack. Some ribbon and a gorgeous little Doodlebug button.





This one is Doodlebug papers and again another DB button with some grosgrain ribbon.













I used the DCWV stack again for this one. The image is coloured with Sakura stardust pens. Finished with some dark green satin ribbon and a green button.

Letters

This challenge is from July on the Just Bex forum- Think of a word...maybe your name or initials..then either use wooden blanks from somewhere like http://www.woodenletters.co.uk/ or chipboard letters, maybe you can cut some out or robo them, you decide and then TART them up!!

I decided to make this for my daughter Ceara. I thought it would look lovely on her bedroom door!!!

I bought a large chipboard letter, this one measures 8" tall. I then covered it with a dotty sheet from my DCWV Nana's Kids stack. It looked rather bare still so I decided to ink around the edges with my pink Dew Drop.

I then added a large bloom, with Doodlebug rub-ons spelling my daughters name in the centre and some various pink and orange ribbons and ric-rac behind. I then added a few bright flowers and some sticky gems for the centres.

Sugar 'n' Spice

The Just Bex challenge is... Anything edible for this challenge please.

So here is a card with my new Doodlebug stamps. The background is from my DCWV Nana's Kids stack. It actually co-ordinates really well with the Doodlebug colours!! I have used the Frames and the Birthday stamp sets, stamped with Doodlebug ink lol. The ribbon and sequins are also DB lol!!!

A Kids Present

Another July Challenge from Just Bex- What we want you to do is MAKE/CREATE a pressie for a child...maybe your own or a neice or nephew or one to sell on your craft tables.

It took me ages to come up with an idea, but here it is. I took an old cube from my daughters toy box. I then covered it with the DCWV Nana's Kids stack. Then I simply stuck on the Doodlebug Zoofari cardstock stickers.

Now I have a nice new toy for my daughter to play with... name the animal!

Succulent Strawberry and Kool Kiwi Challenge

And another... Your challenge is to come up with a card featuring a succulent strawberry and kool kiwi colour combination...yum

I love this colour combination. This one is very straightforward, the background is from the DCWV Nana's Kids stack and the flower motif is also from the stack.

I have finished with some subtle green ribbon.

Altered Notebook Challenge

Another Just Bex challenge- Your challenge...should you choose to accept it is to find a truly disgusting notebook and turn it into something beautiful.

OK so its not 'truly disgusting' but a bit on the plain side lol.

And here it is... I have used DCWV Nana's Kids stack to cover the front, and the 'C' is also from the stack. The gorgeous green and purple ribbon is Doodlebug... drool. And finished with 2 flowers and a brad.
