Are You Distressed?

Well don't be - it is Cute Card Thursday! This week it is all about distressed and vintage cards and you can used any type of distressing - ink, tearing, scrunching, scrapping, sanding, the list is endless! Visit Cute Card Thursday to learn more about our sponsors this week.

I've used all sorts of distressing for my card. I've distressed the gorgeous Pink Paislee Sweetness and Old School papers available over at Quixotic Paperie with Tim Holtz Ranger Distress inks, added a bit of sparkle with the Prima Marketing flower centres.

The image is from the SCACD Victoria Case Bonita Collection - She is Victoria Bonita. 

I've used one of the Artistic Outposts Ephemeral Background stamps to add a bit of a background to the distressed image and I've added more distressing with the new The Greeting Farm Splotchy background stamp with Wild Honey Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Stain.

The sentiment is from the Artistic Outpost Windows and Doors Stamp set. Think that about covers it!

Looking forward to seeing all your distressed and vintage pieces.

Cheeky Cherry Pie

It's Saturday! Wahoo and I'm running just a touch late with my Quixotic Paperie post today. Usually I like to have my post all scheduled and ready to go in the morning but this little lady was still uncoloured and the layers unstuck this morning.

But I'm here now and I've got a Little Cheeky Cherry for you today and she uses all sorts of goodies you can find over at Quixotic Paperie.

She is my favourite of the Greeting Farm Cheeky range - Cheeky Cherry Pie. I've coloured her with pencils and layered her up with lots of fabric and paper textures.

The papers are from the Prima Melody collection and I've got my Shimmez Spritz out and added some sparkle. You might like to know that all the Shimmerz paints are on special offer at the moment.

You might also recognise the background to the stamp? It's one of the Artistic Outpost Ephemeral Backgrounds stamps - see how versatile these stamps are :) Love them, you might have noticed that!

Right catch you guys later, have a good Saturday.

Happy crafting.

One Of My Dinosaurs Is Missing!

Oh how I loved saying that! 

Well it is, I have a Dino on the loose in the hoose, well flat but that doesn't rhyme, even if you spell it badly!

My Dinotastic card, made for this week's Cute Card Thursday and Quixotic Paperie DT makes uses The Greeting Farm Oliver from the Happy Day kit. Those of you who know this stamp will have, by now, noticed the missing Dino? 

*sad face* I coloured him in then he just got away from me as I was cutting out the image. I think he must have just wondered off, it is very hard keeping your eye on these tiny dinos you know! They are very quick :)

Anyhoo...I've used the Prima So Cute paper from Quixotic Paperie. Whilst you are over at Quixotic Paperie you might want to check out the new stock including some beautiful new Prima Paper pads :)

The challenge this week at Cute Card Thursday is 'Banish The Blues' - with Humour and the sponsor is The Stamp Shoppe.

If any of you spot a tiny rampaging blue dino then just send him back to me!

Have a fab Saturday!
