Ice-Cream Sundae

It's Sunday, so this only means it's time for my GDT card at Stamptacular Sunday Challenges .. woo hoo :)

So, this week, in honor of National Ice-Cream Day, which is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday in July; i.e. today, ... did you know this? .. I didn't :| woops!!! :) Anyways, you got it, the challenge is to create a card or project using the colours of our favorite ice cream sundae. So fun isn't it !!!

This is what I did .. The lovely fun image and the sentiment are both by Joni from Inktegrity and were one of her gorgeous freebies... thanks Joni xx

I printed off the image twice, coloured everything with my promarkers, except the ice-cream, cut out the umbrella and ball from the second image and popped them up with foam. The papers were freebies from the Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine.


For the ice-cream I filled that with some 3D pearl touch paint I had for a vanilla look, and then added some glitter as well. Here is a close up of the sparkle and glitter on my image. Hope you like it.



The sketch that I followed is No 51 from Tuesday Morning Sketches. I had already used this one before and loved it, so when I saw what the theme was at Tuesday Morning Sketches I just had to re-use it.


These are my challenges :
1 - Tuesday Morning Sketches 1st Birthday Week 2 - USE FAVE SKETCH + INKTEGRITY STAMPS
2 - My Partner in Crafting Crime Challenge No 6 - SUMMER
3 - Pear Tree Designs Challenge No 8 - GLITTER AND SPARKLES

Mr Robot

This week, the challenge at Just Christmas and Birthday Cards is to create a Criss Cross Card, or something similar.... Having never done this before, I decided to try it out, and after following the tutorial from the link there, I made this card, which is my second attempt :))


The sketch at Just Christmas and Birthday Cards.


I must say, I really enjoyed making this card, and I think it will be the card I'll be showing the how-to to the five kids that come to my fortnightly card making group here where I live!

For my card I used Mr Robot, which is one of the three digis that I won at the Inktegrity weekly Wednesday Challenge. It's a new challenge site, so why don't you hop over and have a go!!! I made this card and this other card with the digis that I won :)

I coloured Mr Robot, and the stars on the background papers with my usual Promarkers and I made it for these challenges. The sentiments are computer generated.

1 - Just Christmas and Birthday Cards Challenge No 60 - A CRISS CROSS CARD
2 - I ♥ ProMarkers Challenge No 11 - A Colour Combo of BLACK, WHITE and 1 COLOUR.... I used the yellow.
3 - Cards for Men Challenge No 8 - It's FANCY FOLDS for this month!
4 - Paper Cutz Challenge No 37 - To create a card or project using A TAG.
5 - Dare U 2 Digistamp Challenge No 35 - METAL

Well, that's all for today. I hope you are having a fantastic week!

Daisy Fairy

All went well for the Pope's first day in Malta of his two day visit here. There's a lovely atmosphere, roads refurbished, and painted, flowers, flags, great weather all nice things which have created a lovely atmosphere I think. My OH took the kids and the altar boys from our Parish, as he is in charge of them, to see the Pope, and so, being all alone, I grabbed the opportunity and made this card here, while watching all the activity from TV. I'll be off early tomorrow morning to goto see him where he will be holding the Sunday Mass.



For this card I used Daisy Fairy... which, I was lucky enough to win in a challenge at Inktegrity and I coloured her with my usual Promarkers, using only shades of one colour. I think she is really cute. You're still in time if you'd like to try as well, 'cos the challenges close every Wednesday..

I made the card for a few challenges and the sketch which I followed is by Diane at Inktegrity.


Challenges:
1 - Inktegrity challenge No 7 - The sketch.

2 - Charisma Cardz Challenge No 15 - MONOCHROMATIC CARDS - different shades of one colour or Black and White.

3 - Allsorts Challenge No 48 - IN STITCHES.... I tried some different type of stitiching... hope you like them :)

4 - One Stop Craft Challenge No 76 - THINGS WITH WINGS.

5 - By The Cute and Girly Challenge - The theme for this month is FAIRYTALES.

I would like to thank you for stopping by today and for all your lovely comments.
