Cupcake Day

 Hello all, 

I spent today doing physio exercises; did you know there's an App for that! Through the local hospital too! Then I decide to dig out some of the colouring I did while I was in Hospital last year. I coloured the citrus cupcake from Beccy's Place in, which the nurses thought looked good enough to eat. I am not sure what is going on with the orange slices in the corners, they are far more subdued and not at all neon in real life.

I Have followed a sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, which you can see below.

Here's my card

What I used

White 12.6x17.8cm card blank
Beccy's Place Citrus Cupcake Digital (no longer available)

Faber Castell coloured pencils
Sugar and Spice 'Jewel' patterned papers (from Spotlight in Aus and NZ)
dark green paper
black, orange and yellow scrap papers

MFT Pierced square dies

Elizabeth Crafts 'Happy Birthday' sentiment die (layered 3x)

Magazine freebie bicycle wheel die (orange and lemon slices- ds-taped to white cardstock and fussy cut)

Adhesives: Double sided tape and foam dots

Cocky's Christmas

Hello again,

I'm still working my way through some Christmas creations and this one is all Aussie, Merry Cocky is from Ericraft on Etsy the paper on the box reminded me of one in my stash. I have used a sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 as inspiration..

White Cockatoo's are notorious for their destructive nature, if they can chew it chances are they will... you can always tell where they have been feeding due to the mess left behind. They are not at all against chewing things that are not food including the mortar on rooftops...

Here is my card:-

What I used:-
White 14cm card blank
Green, kraft, gold and Christmas tree papers
Circle, stitched square and tiny star dies
Merry Cocky Digital stamp Ericraft Etsy store
Derwent Pencils
Black fine line pen
Wink of Stella on baubles
Beccy's Place Sentiment stamp Aussie Christmas
Memento Tuxedo black ink pad

Sketchy Christmas

Hello again,

Well, Mr. Mojo has been absent of late and this is the first card I have felt like creating, I was tidying my craft mess space looking for the card I made earlier on for Mother's Day which will be this coming Sunday here in Australia and I discovered an A4 sheet of mixed images I had already coloured and decided since I had significantly tidied a space I should mess it back up. I found a sketch challenge with the lovely ladies over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 to follow as a little prompt for my mojo. 

While my mojo has been AWOL I have been digging up more of the family tree, one lady was the mother of 17 children, not sure how many actually survived though at this point... 

Apologies for the picture being a little dark, Autumn has truly arrived, but don't let the spring bulbs know that they are incredibly early flowering...

Here is my card:-

What I used:-
14cm square card blank
grey polka dot paper, pink card (from my messy table)
Pink pinstripe paper
Saturated Canary Image Christmas Angel
MFT Pierced circle die
Pinking shears circle die (CCD)
Scrap metallic silver paper
Wild Rose Studio 'Christmas Labels'
Clear embossing ink
Wow! Metallic Silver super fine Embossing powder
Impression Obsession Deer die
Wink of Stella Clear on wings
Adhesives:- Double sided adhesive sheet, Double sided tape
